SCB Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 And given the rules this year, could maybe all end up at reserve during the next six months!!!!! Just looking at Pooles team and I wouldn't be shocked if by the end of the season (possibly even the end of May) they have all had a spell as heat leader!

krompa Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Why was Steve Worrall still at reserve? With higher average than Ritchie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Why was Steve Worrall still at reserve? With higher average than Ritchie? Because he's a draft rider. And draft rider stay in reserve until they have raced 2 home and 2 away meeting and get a new average. For BV this looks like it could be some time in August!

Crazy robin Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Doyle is a cut above as a rider right now but he's got a lot to learn about PR Why, what's he said now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Congratulations to Swindon on a deserved win. I predicted we would lose without Richie and Swindon having Grajczonek as a second string and Tungate at reserve. However, the deciding factor seemsto have been good night's for Sedgman and Morris and a poor night for Cook. Â I wonder if Rosco is still complaining about the number of races decided from the gate. It's all part and parcel of the sport. Edited April 21, 2016 by Aces51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milney Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Using the phrase "now maybe he'll shut his mouth" about his team manager is not a good idea I'd suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Superb win for Doyley's Rockin Red Roobins, was all over by heat 4. Onwards and upwards for Swindon. Bloody freezing cold wind at The Abbey, but it was worth it. BV surprisingly poor, wont be a match for Poole at this rate, Swindon were on fire tonight. Â GO ROBINS!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 So the Robins have finally come to the party! Or are Wolves just better than the Aces? Answers on a postcard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 His away average 8.5 currently and at least one of his rides needs to be taken by Joe. Tonight showed again why the new RR rule for missing 2nd strings doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikec Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Cookie didn't start last season too great for the Aces either, got better as the season went on & was flying by the season's end. Expect similar this season as finds rhythm & confidence. Lack of meetings not helping him. Â Matej Zagar nowhere near his best at the moment, anyone who watches the Polish meetings will have seen that. Expect him to be much sharper once the GP Series gets going. Â No excuses, congrats to the Robins on deserved win. As for the Aces we'll be fine - having our track up & running would definitely help though.

A ORLOV Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Good result for Roscos Roobins, both Justin and Nick upped their performances and Jason had a great night followed by Josh and Rohan. Charles was struggling but there was no shame in that since he was a reserve racing as a heat leader under this crazy system, he should have been allowed to ride as a second string. Â Some fans have written Swindon off and put them in the bottom half of the table, lets see what happens by the end of May. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Some fans have written Swindon off and put them in the bottom half of the table, lets see what happens by the end of May. Charles has gone from being totally shielded from heat leaders to facing them in every race, sometimes three of them at a time. Is he on proper pay rates now or still on the FTR pittance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Can't think that it would've ever happened before. Â Not sure, CR, if you meant just at Swindon, but going back to 1975, I would've thought that all seven of the Ipswich team who rode in their first (and most) fixtures that season rode at reserve for the Witches at some time during the previous six years: John Louis, Mike Lanham, Tony Davey, Mick Hines,Ted Howgego, Trevor Jones & Dave Gooderham and then also when Billy Sanders took his place in the line-up. (Probably in the previous season too with Olle Nygren in the team.) Different era, of course and might not be what you meant. Â As SCB said, your stat appealed to my inner geek too. Thanks.

There is no way Richie Worrall would have scored what they got from RR. The problem in the rules is in the FTR department! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
