They used to count, but certain clubs used the premier trophy or whatever it's called to blood assessed riders to get new averages and strengthen once the league started. Now that assessed riders can't go below a 4 no sure it's still required tbh especially with so few league meetings now
Would've been as well given the outcome. I'm not having a go it's what a good TM does that doesn't have faith in his riders to keep the score tight in the conditions
Remember Edinburgh Vs Glasgow so much water got into tapes was flag start. Peter Carr was on the mic calling Micky Powell a cheat. That would be off the day before now
Went off pretty much on time..as said before delay was for mountain falling and treatment etc. Grading maybe bit too long after 7 imo but doubt get much more than another heat done imo
Mpt was actually very fast, best I'd seen him at ashfield up to heat 13 despite his points. As I don't think Dougie gets a ride (could be wrong) don't think will get more than 5. Agree Lambert can't be as bad again though
