Mr Blobby Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 At the end of the day the draw has been made and every team knows who they will have a reserve come the start of the season! Every team just needs to finish building their top 5's now where the league will be won and loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be silly as you could have a great top 5 & then Newman or Garrity will mince your reserves & win the meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Agree. Should have had a set time and they should have stuck to it #amateurs Look out for the FIFA World Cup Draw on Friday. Good luck if you think it will take place at the exact time they say it will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 He is correct I believe in that the only thing riders signed up to was they wanted to be part of the scheme. The bigger issue is what happens in March or later in the season if there aren't enough riders. The later season is a massive issue of riders pull out of the scheme. And they will once promoters start to sack riders because they've found somebody they perceive is better. As I said, this is the moment for promoters to think of the sport and not their club. Are they collectively capable? I doubt it. They did, but you haven't recognised/acknowledged it. A fair and agreed system of picks, where they was always going to winners and losers, relatively speaking. In the past it would have been who is the biggest wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Every team just needs to finish building their top 5's now where the league will be won and loss. Got all ours now. Really pleased with our 1-7 and well done to Mick for ditching the complete team who finished a disappointing last in 2013. There are one or two I will miss but hopefully we will have a better season next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Has Richie Worrall been living in some other universe? Now piping up about riders not knowing they would have to go to the clubs that picked them??? How can they not have known this??? Is he just upset his brother isn't at Belle Vue?

Woz01 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Don't be silly as you could have a great top 5 & then Newman or Garrity will mince your reserves & win the meeting. You couldve said that about a variety of sides throughout the years. Bees with Pawlicki and Smolinski for Brum to name recent ones and they were much more likely to beat heat leaders than Garrity and Newman. I dont see one reserve winning a meeting for a side with a double figure score after 7 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Just seen on the news the draw format for some footy competition next year, but nothing about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Really happy that we have Lewis Rose to go with Lewis Kerr but I just hope that all promoters were happy that we were able to secure him early on in the draft, the lack of communication that the system had changed slightly smacks of things being made up as they went along. Common sense had prevailed though as he is home grown by Lynn. Despite the reservations of some Swindon fans they have a bloody good pairing there IMO.

SCB Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Don't be silly as you could have a great top 5 & then Newman or Garrity will mince your reserves & win the meeting. Totally agree. I see Coventry winning the two reserve heats 10-2 and 9-3 quite often. Means the rest of the league at 6-8 points behind Coventry before a wheel is turned and only have 13 rather than 15 heats to catch up again! Throw in that when the reserves meet in the other 2 heats you have to fancy Coventry to score 2 or 4 more then Coventry are laughing! Totally unfair system that Coventry have lucked out on!

How far into the season before promoters start complaining because a good 1-5 they've selected, has been shafted by the luck of the draw at reserve?

Irk Deflector Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Look out for the FIFA World Cup Draw on Friday. Good luck if you think it will take place at the exact time they say it will.I'm confident the TV coverage will be on time with the draw ceremony taking at least 3 hours before a ball is drawn and another 6 hours till the draw is complete! On Sky from 4.30pm Friday - might give it a miss after today's excitement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethelion Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 If Leicester picked the 10th seed ( Tom Perry) in the 1st pick, that should have given them first pick in the 2nd round, if i understand the rules correctly, so why did they then pick 21st seed ( Max Clegg ) , seems a strange decision to me. I just hope when they get round to announcing their 1-5 it's strong or else i can see the wooden spoon looming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500cc Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Neat tactical move by Poole to select Smart. Can be covered by seven of the nine opposition number sevens, particularly useful if he becomes the third Poole rider in three years to withhold their services.

Surprised they didn't pick Jacobs or Lambert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's funny how Morley ended up at lakeside What's even funnier is how sarjeant got left till the last pick for Coventry to have Not a fix my arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunty Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Anyone got the full order in which the way the riders were picked! Everyone looks pretty good to be honest, Leicster look a little weak but thats due to Max Clegg being very inexperianced, so hope he can prove me wrong. Im a massive fan of Cleggy so but i was suprised he got a pick and so early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
