SCB Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 The issue is NOT the high scoring foreign reserve if he is the teams 6th or 7th best rider. The issue is the race format has given Paul Starke and inflated average. If Paul had genuinely out performed Klindt to get into the position then fine. High scoring riders in reserve will ALWAYS happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullmax Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Klindt as a rider I cannot stand hit and miss even at PL level,he can be awful to be fair good on his day similar to a Finn Jensen for me. Nothing wrong with Finn Jensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Well it sounds like those who actually went along got a great speedway match to watch, KL getting a point with Lambert beating Hougaard on the run in to the line. I do think every now and then, we all need to stop worrying about rules regulations conspiracies etc etc and just enjoy watching the bloody sport 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 As we walked back to the car park after heat 15 this evening we we followed by Mr & Mrs Hemsley making their way towards the bar. Heads turned when we heard Mrs H shouting quite loudly into her phone demanding that whoever was at the other end was to tell all the home riders and the team manager to meet in the bar after they were showered and changed. They were to be told that none of them could leave the stadium, even to depart for the airport, until they had finished the meeting. That seemed to be confirmation of who wears the trousers! Whilst the resulting was a little disappointing, I cannot recall seeing a home meeting with more passing than tonight. Whilst we all know we have a weak team, it would seem unfair to lay into anyone except Ulamek, as the others could not be accused of lacking in effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathen chemistry Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 How can the reserves averages (inflated because of riding against fellow reserves) be taken seriously when team building? pooles reserves will be on a 8/9 average add that to the total team average and they'll be way way over 50.. stupid rule.. but the question is which promoter or promoters drafted in this rule, id love to find out.....bet he wont own up to it...

mrcts Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Yes, weather okay so far. Cloudy but the sun keeps making an occasional appearance. There may be the chance of a shower but nothing to cause any problems with the track. I'm going to this one to see whippy so I suppose I'd better be a neutral fan tonight. One bit of advice ~ it's going to be really cold this evening so wrap up warm! I'll be wearing about 5 layers as it worked at Coventry last night. Did you go tonight? I thought it was a great meeting with plenty of passing......what was your take of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Quite possibly the best ever EL meeting at Beaumont Park I have seen. Pity we just couldn't hold on but a quality nights entertainment none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that conversation too, Mrs H. was certainly not a happy bunny, I wouldn't like to be the riders boots , she was on the warpath. But it was an excellent meeting with plenty of passing, it's a pity that wasn't the televised match instead of the Swindon meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Did you go tonight? I thought it was a great meeting with plenty of passing......what was your take of it? Yes, I was there and thought it was so good that I'm now hooked. Whether it was the alterations to bend 3/4 or because of two evenly matched teams I don't know but it really was a great match and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity we just couldn't hold on but a quality nights entertainment none the less. That's maybe what you get when you get two evenly balanced sides.Shame the people in control couldn't make every team in the league as equally balanced as one another then you may see more people going again. There was plenty of good races,but for me being a Lynn fan race of the night was Lambert in heat 15.Sluggish out of the gate but eventually caught and passed Wozniak entering turn 3 lap 2 or 3 and then on the outside turn 4 lap 4 managed to find the drive to pip Hougaard on the line to give Lynn the 5-1 they needed for a draw. We need more evenly balanced sides in the league and then you get meetings like this. Thought the track could have done with a sprinkle of water though,absolutely covered in dust from ht1 onwards.May have been worried about the weather but to be honest it didn't look like it was threatening to much rain.

Rain was forecast to appear around 8pm/8.30pm, when it did arrive, just as the MDL fixture was completed, it fell as soft hail, which I had predicted... Not cold enough for sleet/snow, but cold enough for the lesser spotted Soft Hail!! Other than missing out on a win, I thought that was a very entertaining speedway match, 2 evenly matched teams, and riders that were prepared to try the new lines around 3 and 4, which produced some great overtakes, and probably quite a few pairs of soiled pants!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
