SCB Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Bomber at one been there done that doesn't work I would rather have Larsen at one its OK Scb rabbiting on about averages but they don't win meetings Horton don't mess about let's go out with a bang not a puff of smokeAverages do win meetings. What an odd thing to dispute. I'd agree with you on Bomber though, not the man you want a number 1 IMO.

Crazy robin Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Yep, it is ridiculous!! But not ridiculous having Kyle Newman on it as they averages roughly the same in the Premier League last season & Ben has had injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) And there's the folly of a 40.5 limit. That team is a point below it but has 4 heat leaders! So how the hell are teams going to build up to the limit?! Because the likes of Barker and Worrall are 5 point men. You can't magic up some 8 point men to replace them, they don't exist which is why Swindon signed a 6.5 rider to replace their top of the averages and Coventry has to go with guests to replace an 8.5 gap. Lindback and Pawlicki are not coming back. Pedersen has retired from GB speedway and Mikkelson is a 5 point rider, as is Mads. Lindback has stated he is looking at the EL in 2016 - depending on whether he gets a GP place?! KK has made it plain he wants EL racing again. Bjarne Pedersen was certainly talking about a 2016 return when chatting to him at Darcy Ward's Benefit meeting. Similarly Shamek wasn't ruling it out either!! Whoever clubs tried to sign or had to sign in 2015 is irrelevant as far as team building for 2016 is concerned.

I'm happy to trust you on them riders then and lets hope it's true and they can be convinced. As they're going to be needed. They need to get some pretty solid indications from the riders they'll ride over here before agreeing the points limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREDON Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 As it might well be Coventrys last season, will riders want to commit bearing in mind they may be out of a job at the 2016 season end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 As it might well be Coventrys last season, will riders want to commit bearing in mind they may be out of a job at the 2016 season end? What difference does that make, all riders are effectively unemployed come the end of the season anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathen chemistry Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 No you need Hans as a true number one! hans might be going back to the future but his point scoring wont be..... he certainly didnt ride like a number 1 last season , a rider on the biggest wage in the team seeing his average drop 2 points ....... his bikes were slow , his reactions seemed slow, when he did get in front he had to try and block to win ...... he just didnt seem interested at times 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Oh no, he would have upped his average if he stayed at Coventry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I agree, it goes against the principle of the FTR system completely. Barker, along with some others rumoured to be included in this system, shouldn't be. [/iquote] Including Lewis Bridger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Davey Watt is a good committed rider who is loyal to the EL, think he would make a great third heat leader in any team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 The ceiling for fast track riders seems to be creeping up - give it a couple of more years and Scott Nicholls will be eligible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonHWeiner Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I thought the fast track was for up and coming riders. Barker and Bridger have been around for ever caught in a sort of twilight zone between PL and EL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Tbh it really should be 3 Brits, one having to be under 21 (or maybe u,23) Pl should need to be 3 or 4 Brits, one under 21 and one under 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Depends what you want the draft rule too achieve. If you want the good ones too improve more then it needs to be more competitive, I wouldn't mind Barker, Worrall and Bridger being in it too help achieve that. Get them involved in it and now that they can get promoted to the top 5 it makes the league much more competitive and stronger at the same time If you want it just to give youngsters rides then fair enough but dont moan if they are outclassed Edited October 28, 2015 by woz01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Is Bridger making yet another come back. Nowhere near Coventry I hope?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
