thebaron Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Anyone else brassed off with another blank week at the EWR ?. All that fantastic racing v Edinburgh two weeks back. Somehow all the excitment and enthusiasm that generated is in danger of being lost. Your almost starting again v Somerset a week on Sunday. Any news on if we have a replacement for Alex ?

IronScorpion Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 outsider, I totally agree but this is the problem when pairs, 4's & world team cup are arranged within a 4 week period(big outlay for some people) plus a spare date in case of rain-offs. Rob's problem in trying to get a replacement is slightly hindered by us racing on a Sunday. Whether there is a rider, that is in a squad & not riding regularly in the other European Leagues, that is prepared to ride PL, I would have thought Rob would have found one. Also, there is the rule that any EL rider having an average over 6 at any time, cannot ride PL. Whether Morris can ride on his old PL average, I don't know. There is, also, the problem of the amount of double uppers/downers a team can have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Iron; time was when the old Div2/New National League would carry on through "international schedules" throughout the summer, but now there is a lot of cross over between the leagues due to the scarcity of riders. Then if you throw in domestic shared events; its easy to close your local speedway for month in June-July. But no good for continuity and keeping the punters engaged.
