The Third Man

apart from when Howarth & Pickering are riding together, and in heats 13 & 15, in effect we have a reserve in every heat, 2 in heats 2 & 8 In those circumstances we have done well to get to the play offs at all

4 of the top 5 yes, one a complete unknown, reserve or heat leader, but the odds are on another reserve at 2 is there anything in the rules about Batchelor wearing a Kent race jacket to get him to score some points

But the important change we made is now injured, and the change we really needed to make is still there

Still have that one

i think the only days we can operate is Sunday & Thursday due to restrictions because of the dogs

We wont want to use Sunday, crowds were terrible in 2019, that's one of main reasons we switched to the PL

He just needs to wear his Kent body colour, that should improve his form

anyone will pick Sheffield, weak reserves and Batchelor make us a 4 man team

Different context, but this has been happening for the last 18 months without anyone voting for it

Belle Vue stronger, we are weaker, not good, we have to depend on Batchelor scoring again

Once it goes back to normal, i cant see there being full weekends, just one meeting per weekend the riders dont like two meetings in two days and there wont be enough weekends for all the tracks that will want a GP, unless you double the number of GPs

Whats the capacity of Belle Vue?

Cardiff has all you could want, city centre location with all the bars and restaurants, hotels if you want one, and a roof to guarantee no rain off I don't know anywhere else that has these facilities If a GP in Britain is on the schedule, then i would imagine it will go back to 1 GP per weekend and not two

Meant for us

will have an attractive average for next year though

Thought Batchelor might be doing that when they went to the tapes, but then they went at different times, but then i thought it was Batchelor who needs to be shown the best lines himself Been saying that for ages, he shouldn't have had the chance to show an improvement last night

Good team performance, and a mention for Batchelor, he actually looked interested tonight, don't understand why he carried on practising instead of going out with the rest of the team at the end, but that's a small point

Its easy, score some points

Rode for Sheffield for about 20 meeting in 75 as well was a regular spectator at Sheffield before Covid RIP Taffy

He didn't ride in the last one against Wolves

Chris Harris much better at Sheffield, so that makes Ipswich stronger

Based on what he's done up to now they should have got rid of him before he lowered his average enough to join Kent If he starts doing well now he really has had all the supporters for complete mugs, paying money to watch him reduce his average so he can earn more money

SHEFFIELD boss Simon Stead is urging fans to turn out in force to help their play-off bid when Ipswich visit Owlerton tomorrow (7.30). A much better rallying call would have been to announce a replacement for Batchelor Hope he's at number 2 again tomorrow, then at least his three pointless rides will be over by heat 8

But like a damp squib in the PL

Hoping he doesn't get the chance to carry it through to Sheffield to be honest
