tellboy Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Taking there time with the team announcement! Apparently they maybe adding to the list of FTRs according to someone on another thread.I would assume they will wait to see if anymore names are added and then go from there.I'm pretty sure I have mentioned this before but cant say I am a 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 When the Rory night was arranged I thought this coud be the night when annoucements were made. Now I'm not so sure........ Personally , I not bothered who they get to ride. Such is the sate of the game now, the winning and achieving something doesn't seem so important any more. I shall continue supporting hoping to enjoy the basis of what the sport was once all about ....... and forget all about those stupid lists, those complicated rules , and the merry-go-round of riding positions with fictitious averages....... 38 - 40 was a wonderful time. Why has a sport that is, so basically straight forward, been made so complex. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be fair to let any team just pick a new name on the list willy nilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) More importantly will they be adding names to the heat leader list who wanted to ride in the UK ? Edited January 11, 2016 by semion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be fair to let any team just pick a new name on the list willy nilly. I was just saying what somebody else said about names being added.I assume as their are only 7 1st picks as Blackbird looks like he has pulled out,and there are 8 teams it would also be unfair on Lynn to have the 9th choice second tier rider as their no1 1st pick.Does that make sense,it does to me but maybe not others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 The way I see it, we had Lewis but chose to change our race night and therefore had to let him go so its tough luck if we now end up with a poor number six. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough on that point,but apparently he was told we maybe riding Thursdays before he signed for Ipswich(unsure).But had Kerr been riding for Lynn then it would have been unfair on Lakeside to lose out because Blackbird decided to quit. At the end of the day their should be 8 1st picks and at present their are only 7 regardless of what night any club ride on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Why was the race night changed, i thought it was to accomodate a top rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Why was the race night changed, i thought it was to accomodate a top rider. I think the official line was to move towards same day racing.

If that was the case then maybe they should have included another rider into the first picks from the off.Why an earth did the picks go ahead with a rider who wasn't riding included in it,they must have known it would cause problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Blackbird had retired before the end of last season. He told Lakeside not to include him but they announced him anyway. How would Poole have been able to get Ellis as their second pick if there wasn't 8 Tier 1 riders in front of him?. Therefore Blackbird had to be included in the top eight. The fact he had retired was irrelevant ..... Come on' keep up please......... you ought to know the rules by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 what I hear we WONT have a poor no6 . If King's Lynn are allowed to use Ben Barker at no.6 instead of a draft rider it will be a farce. The other promoters need to stand firm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluTiger Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 If King's Lynn are allowed to use Ben Barker at no.6 instead of a draft rider it will be a farce. The other promoters need to stand firm. Barker has ridden in the WTC, its inconceivable that he could become a draft rider. So, it will probably happen... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Kings Lynn have a win at all costs mentality like Poole, unfortunately for them, they very rarely win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
