Premier League 4 Team Tournament

[czechhero]

I must admit that I'm struggling to find a reason for us being there. Very strange. then again, this is a very strange sport. Ho hum.

[edmon]

Hang on you Sheffield types - get off your high horse.

 

Your team must surely get in now that Workington have been seriously enough weakened (using real time qualifying averages). With Hansen dropping out there who is next in their averages to come in.

 

As Carl Stonehewer has not ridden this season his 'real time' average for 2007 is 0.00.

 

I'm puting the flak jacket on now

[Nemo]

Carl Stonehewer will be included in the line up for Workington in the 4TT

 

I think they look pretty strong now with...

 

1 James Wright

2 Carl Stonehewer

3 Kauko Neimnen

4 Craig Branney

[spin king]

Getting really fed up with the Sheffield fans perhaps they would prefer us to close again after a season so they can get a Fours place back!

Maybe just maybe the BSPA are trying to give us a higher profile and giving us a helping hand maybe just until we get established.

Or maybe you would prefer us to close again after 3 yrs; surely you could give us a break for the good of the sport for heavens sake

Hope Rye House win the League as there fans are a lot nicer than Sheffied who seem very one-eyed and i will never feel sorry for them if they fail at anytime!!

 

Rant over!

Read through your post and the only thing that I have siad on the matter is that I did not realise that our averages were that low that we did not qualify.

To be honest I had not much looked into matter, but if you are there on merit then good luck too The Brummies.

As for Rye House been alot nicer supporters that Sheffield, hmm comeback in a couple of years and tell me that is how you feel.

Should Stoney be included in the Worky team as he signed AFTER the draw was announced for the 4TT?

not bad qualifying for a major competion with one rider who hadnt rode before the qualifying date and one rider whos average was based on one ride that he didnt complete (through no fault of his own though)

 

if this is correct then there is no way that redcar can lose their place in the final

[eric i]

my prediction

1. Rye House

2. Kings Lynn

3. Workington (if they have got stoney)

Thats a joke of a team. James Wright had rode 1, maybe 2 meetings and stoney had rode none! How do they qualify!

 

If I was a Sheffield fan I'd be really annoyed now! Maybe they should sign Sean Wilson for the day?!

[MattyHart]

i think sheff are in now as havvy and tressarieu are both injured for a while.

Using the Workington example, Redcar now have Kessler in for Tress.

[The SAINT]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

you're wrong scb! stoney qualifying average is from 0 rides and james wrights' is from ONE ride only! neither has completed even ONE match to qualify for their average! "real time" at its absolute best (/worst)!!! LMAO at this madness (well thought out superseven supremo)

[spin king]

Should Stoney be included in the Worky team as he signed AFTER the draw was announced for the 4TT?

Oh go on then Shads.

[spin king]

If you are looking for a winner then I think that you would be hard pressed to go beyond Rye House.

James Wright and Stoney should be in obviously with their highly impressive real time averages when the draw was completed. What a complete joke this is turning out to be.

 

Read through your post and the only thing that I have siad on the matter is that I did not  realise that our averages were that low that we did not qualify.

To be honest I had not much looked into matter, but if you are there on merit then good luck too The Brummies.

But it seems Sheffield are 8th in the averages but aren't riding as they haven't been seeded, like Birmingham have.

[superguest]

The highest averaging top 4, Birmingham or Sheffield should go through.

 

 

Lyons 9.03

Osterguaard 8.69

Sanchez 6.15

Collins 4.83

 

=28.17

 

Compton 10.72

Ashworth 6.94

Parsons 6.27

Wilson 6.21

=30.17

 

Sheffield should go through. However its not the Brummies fans fault they have been seeded through, so lay of people.

[The SAINT]

once again,we've no problem with birmingham themselves only the principles /politics/personalities involved.

[TFI THURSDAY]

I think the qualification for this meeting is done far too early in the season.So why not work out the qualifiers from last seasons finishing results.(I know a lot of riders leave teams at the end of every season.) Why not make it that you have to finish in the top 8 the season before to gain access into the following years competition.Not only would this give teams something more to fight for during the season but also helps out where teams have a bad start but get progressively better during the season.The original top 4 declared riders from the clubs that are lucky enough to be in the competition are then the ones that ride for the team.

[kelvyn hemborough]

i reckon

 

1. somerset always go good in the pl4's

2. worky again should stoney be in it

3. kl good top 4

[roo]

I wish people would stop bitching and moaning.

 

When have rules and logic ever prevailed in speedway before.

[Col]

It's fair play to J Chapman to explain the seeding process, good to see from a BSPA member.

 

Sheffield can blame their woeful riding at Saddlebow Rd for their exclusion I think. Shame really, considering that both tracks are big & grippy Tigers were likely have been favorites for this event, especially as Ashworth rode of the Panthers a year or 3 back. Alas, perhaps on your next visit to Kings Lynn you'll grab a 2nd place, hunh?

 

Surely Somerset start as favorites now, Zetterstrom & Hawkins have both been Panthers in recent years. Redcar will likely struggle without Havvy

 

I might come to this, not decided, I do like my Sunday football (playing) and with Brummies taking on Kings Lynn at Perry Barr the week before it'll likely depend on finances.

 

The last time I went to EoES (many years back, solitary visit when Cradley made the 4's final) the roads were goddam awful from here to there, have they improved?

 

As for people who think Rye House will walk this with their averages... I have a feeling that the deep shale and wide open spaces of the EoES will see them a little intimidated. Just a hunch.

 

As far as the Brummies go at least Lyons has ridden there allot but I doubt he likes the track, both Sanchez & Ostergaard have been Panthers during their careers and thankfully it's Collins not Werner, who I imagine has an allergict reaction to such tracks.

 

Somerset to win, Brummies second, Kings Lynn third, Glasgow forth.
