  1. Based on scoring at Newcastle in 2021. Thompson twins similarly based on Leicester performances & even our own Mr Scunthorpe, Josh Auty, who was a 9+ rider at home but around 5-6 away. Most riders have favourable tracks & some they hate.
  2. 15 yr old reserves CAN NOT ride in the Championship. . Minimum age is 16.
  3. Beat Nowak in ht 8 & Vissing in ht 14 at our place. Connor not getting many last places has been key this year. Both race on Fridays, mostly, so Theo will be with Ace, mentoring & being his Dad. Both pulled out of a meeting abroad when Ace got injured.
  4. I personally would have gone for a J Smith/R Kinsley & J Thompson combination compared to most teams reserves who have 2 pointers or assessed 4 point riders in those positions.
  5. Why did it take this long for the authorities to notice?
  6. Birthday on 21st August so just over a week to be snapped up. If he does exceptional in NDL & averages 8, will he not have a converted average of 4 though?
  7. kettle, black, pot ............... springs to mind pre season team building.
  8. It has got nothing to do with Godfrey. This is why Phil Morris got the job to over see Premiership meetings. Yes. Supposed to have Thursday as alternative race night for cancelled meetings. Two wrongs( postponed/fixture change meetings) do not make it right especially after a free weekend of Polish Ekstraliga fixtures on a GP weekend where they have, in the past, raced league meetings on the Sunday.(End of April for example.)
  9. Did Newman have both wheels over the white line 1st bend opening lap?
  10. The light rain pocket on rain radar did not materialise about 4 so perfect but cool weather.
  11. Most teams with NDL teams that can't fit fixtures in even though Berwick tried to full fill a double header last Saturday when the Bandits do not have a home meeting until mid June.
  12. He or J Smith could have done a job, even short term at no6 keeping Joe. After 2 league meetings & when the averages change on the 1st June, what Dougie has lost Lambo has gained & similarly with Allen gaining & Tofty losing. Mountain is about the same.
  13. Probably a reason why some of the Scorpion supporters didn't travel this year as they have done in the past.
  14. Jubilee Final!!!! This is old news. Should be the "Coronation Final" the amount of times they change competitions & rules!!!!
  15. Take Fridays example at Scunthorpe. The roads were wet when I got up & a further forecast was for possible rain from 3 till around 6pm. Well that was wrong because we had temperatures of 17C & t shirt weather. On Scunthorpe twitter, Rob even had to go out & water the track at 4.30. What we didn't expect was the thunderstorm that came down after 6.30, flooding the roads & it lasted about 30 minutes before blowing over. Look at Scunthorpe facebook to see the damage done in 30 minutes. Damned if you do, damned if you don't!!!
  16. I think the term now is that being an asset/signed is that a team holds their Registration Papers. Hence Knudsen is on Glasgow's "books" & Pearson on Belle Vue's "books". In the last 8-10 years I would think Poole have/had over 50 riders as assets over their halcyon days.
  17. Care to elaborate as you Berwick fans, crescent girl, seem to like letting the cat out of the bag.!!!!!
  18. Thompson could have scored similar from 6 rides.
  19. I know MPT needs help in the pits which is not helped with his PL & cl duties & available help. Not got the back up required at both levels yet.
  20. And as I have mentioned in the Scunthorpe thread, A rider of Jack Smith's capabilities would not have upset the apple cart.
  21. Maybe his bike wasn't right & wanted another bike of his size set up to ride. Jake & Simon a bit taller & MPT a bit smaller.
  22. If you read my thoughts on the Scunthorpe thread then you know what I think of the changes. A chance missed tonight for a win & a good chance for the aggregate point. Feel sick to the stomach.
  23. Also riding in Poland at Liga 2 level so how much does he have to spend/uprate.
