Ftd Reserves

And the official @speedwaygb website is missing half the announcements, another example of how the people who run this sport are questioned.

 

I imagine that would be more of a technical issue with Twitter more than anything else.

Others seem to be getting them okay.

As expected - the actual draw turns into a farce - how can a team get the best FTR from last year and then first pick in the second round and Poole also get Newman and second pick - a total farce!!!

 

Because they were bottom of the league and didnt proctect any riders! The Idea of the Draft is to get the teams who had a poor year to have a better year this year! American sports have done it for years!

 

The rules were everyone could protect a rider which aids Poole because they had the last pick in the first round!

 

Its anoying that people have to think its not fair but it is fair the teams new the rules before the draft and you pick what you think is best from what is on offer!

 

Wolves did the right thing in not proctecting anyone becuase they all struggled last year and so they got better picks because of it! Poole protected there top rider knowing that they could get a strong second tier rider with second pick!

 

Not rocket science at all really!

And Swindon didn't protect anyone (and finished 4th in the league) at yet got to pick AFTER Poole - just as well its not rocket science because there is absolutely no justification for that!

How are Newman and Blackbird at the bottom of the draft list when 2 of the best in it last year?

 

Does that mean they won't be able to use guests from higher up the draft if needed?

 

the guests will be the two riders not picked.

 

should really read what was said coming out of the agm explaining the draft it really is quite simple

They had the option to keep Worrall in the first round pick, why on earth they didnt I do not now!

 

You have to work out what picks you will get and who will go where and what will be left!

 

If Poole didnt proctect a rider they would have had last pick in Tier 1 simple as that really!

Looks quite well balanced this year. Lakeside looks the best pairing IMO.

 

@speedwaygb didn't miss out any picks

They did, the announcements for the second round

first was Poole getting Stark,

second was three picks to go, Leicester to go next.

The confusion is being caused simply because it wasn't an open and fair draft - as soon as they had agreed teams could 'protect' riders it made the draft unworkable from a fairness point of view. And I agree with earlier posters that EL averages should have been used where available.

No they didn't - he's a BV asset and so they get first dibs. The point is Swindon didn't protect a rider and chose a rider AFTER Poole in the first round so logic tells you that they would pick ahead of Poole in the second round - especially when Poole's rider was one of the highest scoring FTRs last year!! Its as simple as that really!! Its a total farce!

What Matt Ford wants, Matt Ford gets.

 

CVS, I want Starke. I know he's rode at your track and excelled there..

 

Ok Matt, there you go.

Ahhh missed that! Good Business from Belle Vue getting younger riders on there books! So something else Swindon never really thoight about!

 

In the end its Swindons fault... Whats the saying go like! Fail to prepare, prepare to fail!
