bri1966 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Anyone know why Rose was only given 3 rides with the result all done and dusted ?. I think it is totally wrong to take lewis Rose out of his final race when the team is so far ahead. How is he going to improve and will it not knock his confidence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 You mean Kennett and Barker were on Rosco's short list ? The sooner the likes of Ellis, Kerr Lambert etc come through the better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Anyone know why Rose was only given 3 rides with the result all done and dusted ? I know Lynn were 16 points up at the time with 4 races to go,so theoretically we could have still ended up drawing the meeting.Even though it was extremely unlikely with our riders going so well.Maybe Rob was airing on the side of caution to make sure Lynn got all four points.Having said that I suppose Rose could have replaced Kerr in ht14.But as someone said earlier maybe Rose had problems or something we don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castrolargh Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 . I think it is totally wrong to take lewis Rose out of his final race when the team is so far ahead. How is he going to improve and will it not knock his confidence Maybe Rob Lyon was looking at the bigger picture, lewis has started pretty well , is riding pl and nl all season so no need to push him, or something like that. Sometimes decisions are made for good reasons, not bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 The weakest team in the league at home to "the strongest" team, on an easy to ride track was only going to end one way. I remember Ipswich coming to Poole in 98 and smashing us by a similar score. We are still here so the doom and gloomers need to continue to support the Brummies. Things can only get better as long as the fans stay with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes decisions are made for good reasons, not bad. Sorry but that is a crock of the brown stuff & whilst he might have been right to take Lewis out of his 4th programmed ride he could easily have gave him that in heat 14. I hope if one rule changed next season it is that both reserves have to have 4 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't for one minute think everything in the speedway world is rosy, but I also don't see agendas and conspiracies behind every relatively minor decision. Right now my speedway glass is half full, not half empty...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really do contradict yourself don't you.King's Lynn rode the weakest team in the league last night according to you,so the result was only going to end one way.Yet Poole are there next week and all of a sudden it becomes a tough match for Poole.Check your post in the Swindon/Poole matches yesterday I hope if one rule changed next season it is that both reserves have to have 4 rides. I agree,and I think many fans from other clubs agree with this.But at the moment every team is doing it as most have a reserve that is better than the other.

Rob Lyon wouldn't have swapped them unless there was an adequate reason. Rob not for changing for the sake of it and looks at the bigger picture. He could've swapped them against Wolves in Ht 14 but didn't when others thought he would / could. So for him to actually change them over, there had to be a valid reason that wasn't related to the match score.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Jack Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) I bet Sponsers "Selco" arn't very happy with "THEIR" teams performance. I think people are being a bit hard on BB, hes a racer and is trying, unfortunately he needs someone to sort his head out ......but Phil Morris has gone BB was on the center green watching the starts...... not the actions of someone who wasn't trying. Eastbourne dumped Kennet, Cov dumped him, Swindon dumped him................. can we do the same?.....................Please.......................NOW same for DN his ht 14 ride was stunning ....was it not Never mind... the new Phillips "initative" is bound to help .."The Fans Liaison officers" (aka union reps) you can take all your complaints to them, that will save Philips having to listen to the moans............ if they can find volunteers Signed .....Pi**ed off of Tunbridge Wells "You meet the nicest people at Birmingham Speedway" Barker is at this all the time, messing about in some fashion, one or the other. Riding round to the tapes pre heat, messing with his suspension or waving his hand for someone to show him where the Perry Barr lights are etc... I don't know about someone sorting his head, someone needs to get it through to him that he isn't God's gift to Speedway and isn't the centre of attention.

Crazy robin Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 if you were in the pits last night you would have seen Lewis Rose nursing an injury .. better? I stand corrected then & offer my apologies but you only have to look how regular already this season that the lesser reserve is only getting 3 rides when meetings are already decided. It is something that should be stopped NOW rather than wait till next season but I know that won't happen. I actually think Lewis Rose is doing a great job for Lynn when you think what number he was in the draft & that's why I was disappointed.

Yes Rose is doing well considering he only came into the sport last season.Incidentally he is currently ranked 25th on the grading list according to the Birmingham programme from last night.
