RPNY Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 No doubting it will be a good show and great track, I have nothing but praise for the club.. But having a National event there is totally unfair IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Dont know if this is true so maybe someone can confirm the rumour. Been to a couple of meetings this week and heard that JC has resigned from being in charge of the 7s has anyone else heard anything about this? and if so does anyone know why?

crikeythatsfast Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I had not heard that rumour at all, and maybe it is just that, a rumour. But if he has resigned then I can't say I find it a huge shock. According to a few fans he wasn't any good anyhow, he came in for so much unjustified criticism last year. Ok so mistakes were made, but he would learn from that. Personally whatever people think of him he's got great ideas about taking the sport forward, and surely that is only a good thing.

Najjer Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Heard Wato speaking tonight and he has no idea about the qualifications for the Premier League Pairs. Whose fault that is, I don't know but it is pretty stupid that riders are in a qualifying stage yet they don't even know how and when they are qualifying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he has and I have not heard the rumour, if he has then it is a shame as I think that he has breathedlife back into these meetings, and done a good job .

spin king Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Last years events were no different to any other year. Yes but I think that eventually he will get it right, I think that the idea that he has as well as the racing he is trying to make it a day out, speedway with entertainment, I think that he is showing other Promoters that it is no good just to open the gates and expecting fans to come in, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble53 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) maybe his promoter ought to tell him it's down to points scored in heat 15 or look at the super7even website and it will say so. According to the Super7even website, and info I have been given, that is Heat 15 in the Premier Trophy matches only. It's bad enough that it is confined to Heat 15, but that makes a stupid qualifying system even worse. Surely qualifyng for a best pairs competition should be on rider averages for the whole match, not just one heat of it, and also from Premier LEAGUE matches. You could have pairs/riders that have ridden superbly over an extended period of time, and finish high up in the averages, only to lose out on qualification by dint of a couple of ropey Heat 15's in what amount to for a lot of clubs, early season shakedowns. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound right to me Edited March 31, 2008 by womble53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothers Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 According to the Super7even website, and info I have been given, that is Heat 15 in the Premier Trophy matches only. Yes and if you're in the 5 team group it's only from your first three home and away matches ! And what happens as in the case of last night where Birmingham were not able to hold Heat 15 of their match due to curfew? Does Heat 14 therefore become Heat 15 or do neither side score? Also Heat 15 normally features each teams two best performers on the night and not necessarily the top two riders for that team (although quite often that is the case) we therefore have the possibility of riders scoring qualifying points for a competition they will have no chance of riding in. Tying that into last nights non Heat 15 where the riders involved were Adam Roynon, Tommy Allen, Rob Mear and Jack Hargreaves. If Birmingham and/or Rye House qualify I hardly think (with no disrespect to the riders mentioned) that they will be automatic team picks for the Best Pairs final.

There must have been a comittee working with him as part of the decision making process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
