Seeing it seems likely that Mark Loram will be missing then i think it's essential that two British riders get the wildcard places. I would select David Howe and Carl Stonehewer.

My Workington friends are gonna fall out with me over this but.....I really don't think Stoney should be considered for a wild card.

 

He's been in the GP's and lets face it he is never going to reach those heady heights again. If we are sticking to British riders I would rather it went to a younger man with the potential to at least challenge for the GP qualifiers next season

 

Now the air raid siren has sounded and I am gonna get all tucked up in my bunker.....lol

I'm with you on this Lioness - Stoney has struggled big time in the EL - his best score has been six (against EL opposition) - put him in at Cardiff and he'd look silly.

 

I think the two wildcards should be the top two non-GP riders in the British Final - that would give them something to race for and add a little more excitement to an outdated competition.

 

Can I share your bunker please. ;-)

And I'm with Lioness and Kev. Stonehewer has past his 'sell by date' for the GPs, that is.

 

Any room for me in the bunker? I am only little :D

I'd like to see Billy Janniro get one slot and an Englishman in the other.

 

But who?

 

David Howe is struggling for form but Dean Barker and Stuart Robson are enjoying a good start to the year and Chris Harris is averaging 8.23!

 

I can't really see the point of offering a place to Stoney, Joe or Havvy they've all been there and done it.

I can't really see Screen getting the ride. Last year he wsan't very good, and i believe he expressed his dislike for the man-made track so maybe he can't be bothered to do it as well.

 

Now my wildcards would be Stuart Robson and David Howe.

Sadly Joanne in my opinion there are non up to the required standard at the moment :-(

I know they are not up to the required standard, Lioness, but who knows what they will do on the day in front of 20,000 cheering Scots, 10,000 Welsh and 13,000 English fans.
