To increase the interest and entertainment, there should be arm-wrestling contests between riders based on their riding numbers, with Scott Nicholls refereeing. If a team is using r/r for a team place, the team manager should be the substitute. 7 contests would produce a winning team, with a separate league table running through the season. They could run a darts league as well.
Suggestion to Birmingham:
Clear off out from Perry Bar now and stage the rest of your home matches at Leicester. Would be even better if Rew could complete a whole match without falling off his bike.
In an accident of no importance which has recently occurred, several insignificant internet forum contributors suffered minor bruises and inflammation of their egos due to having particularly thin skin.
On the other hand, Tai Woffinden is made from tough stuff.
The news about Cook comes as no surprise does it? He ceased to be a viable team member at the Premiership level at least two seasons ago.
It highlights the enormous loss that Dan Thompson is to the club and team. I don't know how he has been allowed to desert Leicester but whoever is responsible should be sacked
I suppose it's a matter of how well a team is doing over the second "half" of the season, that counts.
Had the impression Oxford threw in the towel last year especially after Leicester got into gear. Perhaps this year, they're more oriented towards having scope for beefing up the team later-on. I can see some big away defeats, early doors.
I don't think Antti Vuolas has potential to improve on his 4.13 average and can see him or Jeppesen being replaced by Nick Morris when he regains his license.
Rew on the other hand may thrive and improve well, and Edwards ought to lord it over his counterparts, at least.
Musielak and Zagar to perform to their averages, so MJJ is for me the unpredictable ingredient.
The alleged statement by Grudziadz needs to be dealt with definitively by Birmingham asap. I recall about 10 years ago when Leicester began the season with both Lung and Mikkelsen but it later transpired both were only on pre-Sweden contracts
Well the honours system is completely outdated, no longer appropriate and a relic of long-gone days when Britain had an Empire.
Hopefully this has provided a bit of harmless amusement, whilst we wait for Birmingham and Oxford to finalise their teams.
Maybe like Geoffrey Boycott until the foolish Theresa May (confirming what a joke the system is) actually awarded him one, Chris Harris could just become popularly called "Sir Bomber"
Surely it would be appropriate for Chris Harris to feel the touch of steel upon his shoulders?
The man exudes all that is great about the best Britains and Cornishmen, qualities sadly lacking in today's spoiled snowflakes
What about having a competition running through the season, called Riding-Order Bingo?
Supporters, and not just KL fans, are given the chance to submit their prediction of the Stars 1-5 riding order ahead of each match for a £1 stake, with the winners sharing 75% of the total staked, and the other 25% going to the club?
