Nutz Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Agree with you on that one YH5-1... That's a tough group 1... Group 2 is that little bit easier, and with the absence of Joe Screen then we gotta fancy our chances of at least getting out that group - though I believe it'll be Ryan and Andy from them 3 as Kevin is racing on the continent... However, if we could've chosen, then I'd use Matty round OTA - definitely our best man round there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Edinburgh were in group one and the promotion found an average change type of thing and moved into group two then said no Screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 So we can't have Joe for this staging , but yet we could use Craig Watson in 2007 who hadn't actually rode in an official match for us at that time - explain me that one In saying that , Josh is pretty good round the OTA - but not having Joe devalues things a bit .

MattyHart Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 What if 2 of the top 3 are not available ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 What if 2 of the top 3 are not available ? As will happen here , cause there's some Mickey Mouse foreign rubbish on this same weekend . Can't imagine Joe will be riding in that though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) What if 2 of the top 3 are not available ? I dunno. Maybe Glasgow could say both Josh & Lee are elsewhere that day and use Screen instead. Seems rather silly that one of the PL's biggest events is taking placing without arguably the best rider in the entire league. It's the day before Cardiff, so what better way of getting the GP crowd there than the presence of Havelock & Screen - these are the names that floating supporters will recognise. It's a big own goal not having Screen at Somerset. All the best Rob Edited June 22, 2010 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyHart Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Thanks. Seems a bit daft having potentially a rider who is 4th in the averages, in the meeting. Although, choosing 2 of the top 3 doesn't seem very good either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Pretty sure I read that Linus Sundstrom is otherwise engaged, so it looks like I won't be in attendance... Plus Berwick haven't qualified, so the other half won't want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrise Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I am guessing Edinburgh will have Tully and Fisher as Kevin is in some u21 thing the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Be interesting to see if the BSPA make a statement regarding why Joe Screen isn't in the line-up . But i'm not holding my breath . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Screen isnt at the meeting then its a disgrace,he is a Glasgow rider. As the pairs stand at the minute Im going for the Newcastle Diamonds to take the title.

Midnight_Lady Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 It's the day before Cardiff, so what better way of getting the GP crowd there than the presence of Havelock & Screen - these are the names that floating supporters will recognise. Havelock is certainly no drawcard nowadays. Be interesting to see if the BSPA make a statement regarding why Joe Screen isn't in the line-up . But i'm not holding my breath . I would think the most likely reason is Screen wasn't in Glasgow's team by the cut off date. But until we know when that date was it's a guessing game. It was a farce when Craig Watson was allowed to represent Glasgow when he hadn't turned a wheel for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burton Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 was going to take this meeting in,on the way to cardiff,but with no stoke pair involved i shall give it a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thischarmingman Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 As will happen here , cause there's some Mickey Mouse foreign rubbish on this same weekend . And I'm sure the Premier League Best Pairs is considered really important in Europe. In fact I'm not sure it's even important outside of, well, the Premier League, if that. If it wasn't a good stopping off point on the way to Cardiff, I doubt that many would bother about it anyway. I do wish people would respect speedway in other countries, but typical of many UK fans is that nothing else matters, when in fact it's UK domestic speedway that becomes less and less important to many riders each year.

Midnight_Lady Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) I can't seem to edit my previous post so will have to do another one. Glasgow fans seem to think they are being singled out with Screen not being in the line-up. What about James Grieves not being allowed to represent Redcar? With that in mind there must have been a cut off date or maybe a rider has to have ridden a set amount of meetings for their club now so that we don't have the farce of 2007 when Craig Watson was allowed to represent a club he hadn't ridden for.

seanisnumber1 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Looking forward to this meeting even more now we have qualified - hopefully we will go with Ashworth and Auty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Havelock is certainly no drawcard nowadays. Maybe not to you or me, but he is to the armchair viewer who goes along to one meeting at Cardiff each year. And so would be Joe Screen. If Screen isn't allowed to ride, then it's an opportunity wasted to draw along the casual fan. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight_Lady Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 If Screen isn't allowed to ride, then it's an opportunity wasted to draw along the casual fan. So basically according to you Screen should be allowed to ride as a drawcard? What about James Grieves, a rider who has been in the PL a damn site longer than Screen has.
