pugwash Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 The bspa have cocked the rules up again and now that it seems that some of the FTR riders are better than the riders in the positions 1 - 5, in some cases both FTR riders for a club, so it will not be long before riders who started in the top 5 will be a reserve. It looks like D Watt for Poole will soon be a reserve, followed by Chris Holder if he carries on scoring like he is at the moment. More importantly the weather for tonight looks good with a bit of rain due about 3pm, COYR. Holder has one bad meeting and suddenly he is going to be reserve! Apart from the fact that both reserves cannot be in the 1-5, (see post #34 above), I wouldn't mind a spell with Chris at reserve - if only for all the upset it would cause all other clubs' fans!! ;-) In Poole's case it is still likely to be Brady that drops to reserve, as Davey's rolling average will keep him higher initially I think when Poole complete their 2nd away meeting at Brandon next Friday 22nd, which will come into effect 7 days later.. PS. I've emailed the BSPA again this morning for clarification on the EDR rules. Leicester 28 Swindon Poole 62 Another thread hijacked by Poole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Tonight will be a test of Norrie Allan's managerial skills. I think that you can put Jason down for a 15 point maximum. All that Norrie has got to do then is to make sure that Lions get a 3-3 in all Jason's heats (easier said than done!) and then knock up some heat advantages in the remaining 10 races. Can the Lions stop Swindon's other six riders from getting more that 31 points between them? If they all ride to the averages that they have got for Elite League meetings at Leicester they could just about do it. However if the Lions pull up their socks ride to their potential they could just about scrape a win. Norrie will have to be quick on his feet to make sure that Lions make the most of their reserves and have some tactical riding in those heats where they ought to get a heat advantage i.e. 2, 4, 5 7, 8, 9 12 & 14.

Mad Matt Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I reckon Rosco will have his boys fired up and i can see them winning 48-42. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an attitude to have! Jeez, light hearted posts are usually accompanied by an emoticon - as this one was with a 'wink'!!!! Thanks for only quoting part of the post. I guess it suits your PL 'I used to be a speedway presenter so everything I say must be right' attitude. I'll try to find a suitable emoticon for 'winker'!!

A ORLOV Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Holder has one bad meeting and suddenly he is going to be reserve! I stated if he carries on like he did the other day, I did wonder if the hook would catch any. Info for any Swindon fans who are not able to go tonight, The Railway in Newport St is likely to be showing the meeting as they can show multiple sports and no doubt a few will want to see 20 blokes kicking a ball about.

Hackett Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 If I can find a bookie taking bets on speedway - Swindon to win - Doyle to score double figures and Auty and Starke at reserve to outscore Robins reserves.

Mr Bump Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 A not so whopping as it used to be 302 metres. Lost a surprising 15 metres due to alterations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
