spin king Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Is George Stancl going to be fit enough to ride in the meeting . If so :- 1 Danny Bird 2 Shane Parker After a run-off 3 George Stancl 4 Jason Lyons <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Way way of the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigershark Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Gary Havelock by 5 points <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Points have got nothing to do with it in the final. Format will be the same as every year. Top two straight into final, one semi and first two also into final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schevchenko Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Should these events not be held at neutral venues? I can't understand them being held at venues where one of the riders rides every week so therefore has a massive advantage. I think the BSPA should organise the PLRC to be held at say Brandon, the ELRC to be held at Rye House/Sheffield etc and similarly the pairs. Surely this would ensure that the winner was the best rider in the league as opposed to the rider with the most track knowledge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Would assume Ashworth would be riding if Compton's not fit,Grieves(maybe!) for Stancl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matousek Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Compton will ride i feel no doubt, he would ride with 1 arm!, and still beat most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This argument has been done to death several times before, for what it's worth though I agree with you. The 2001 and 2002 meetings were held at Coventry and Belle Vue respectively, although they weren't that well attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigershark Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Should these events not be held at neutral venues? Surely this would ensure that the winner was the best rider in the league as opposed to the rider with the most track knowledge? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> IMO the rider with the highest average over the whole season is the best rider in the league. Even the rider who wins the PLRC is not necessarily the best rider on the night. Take Steady for instance, unbeaten all night but pipped in the final by Andre who only managed the final via the play off. And I wondered how long it would be before someone starts going on about hometrack advantage. People should treat the PLRC as a one off event organised by the BSPA. They obviously feel that the venue has excellent facilities, central to the country and with Sheffield having a decent following know that the event will make them money. The top riders in this league should have no problems riding the Sheffield track. Come on Andre!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Grieves(maybe!) for Stancl <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm hoping it will be Pepe for Stancl if he can't make it. Anyone got any news on whether Stancl is going to line up for this one, or is it to early to call. My predictions for this one are: 1. Zetters 2. Lemon 3. Havelock 4. Bird Compton to get excluded in semi final Can see Garry Stead as a real dark horse for this one, he rode well in this event last year until his crash. Would love to see this held at neutral track but will never ever happen. Agree with the fact that riders who finishes top of the average is best rider in that league for that particular year, using Nicki Pedersen as an example off a couple of seasons ago. Good Luck to all the riders in this one. Edited September 21, 2006 by diamond@heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid row Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 IAgree with the fact that riders who finishes top of the average is best rider in that league <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't. a rider can get a higher average if he is riding at reserve and more than capable in that positition. Also he can get a higher average by coming first in every race by taking off and leaving his team mate to scrap with his opposing riders. The best rider would be the one who team rides as well as being fast, showing skill as well as speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwf Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Andre Compton must be favourite for this now. Seems to have come back from injury without any ill effects. Would give most EL heat leaders a good run for their money round Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SAINT Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 would agree normally,but he looked very tentative (for him!) on thursday and had his shoulder strapped up during the meeting.this negates his home track advantage and makes it more of an even playing field imo.

micro Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Think this should be a good meeting, not sure why so few people are tipping Doolan for the final, I'm more than hopeful he'll be there. Anyway, we were hoping to do a collection for Adam Allott at this meeting (for those of you that don't know, Adam crashed at Scunthorpe a few weeks ago and suffered a crushed vertbrae and a shattered elbow) unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, it's not possible. However, if anyone would like to donate (and I know at Stoke and Kings Lynn many of you have) the please PM me and I'll tell you where I'll be!
