Dandelion Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 If that's the case then I think it would mean that the suspension would happen if he committed another offence in the 24 months, when that 24 months is up then he has a clean slate Ahhhh, thanks for clearing that up, I don't really understand how the justice system works He'll be a free man to go as crazy as he wants to next year then don't worry ill make a point of cming to see you in march as long as you can drag yourself of George mr hanger on and by the way it was mrs English that told us that they were signing ricky wells so she must of lost her marbles Looking forward to it already. I'll be at the the Practice and Press and Practice and you can see me at the back gate between 5pm & 6pm all season. Now now, is this really worth it? Mrs English lost her marbles many years ago, you went by something she said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 He/she probably won't say I thin a limit of 42.5 and a rule saying at least 3/4 British riders, one being a 2.00 er would have been best, jsut imo, it would allow big names like Lambert, Cook and Nicholls maybe to bring in larger crowds but still having that new, young and British feel in each of the teams I would personally have prefered Mountain over Coles, but Coles is who we've got and Coles is who I'll support Mountain and Coles would have been ideal The only 2.00 rider still available that would have been better than Danny would be Tom Stokes and Oliver Greenwood on 2.12 if he is still riding? Edit: Sorry Greenwood wouldn't fit, I thought we were 0.19 under the limit, maybe the other Greenwood then? Been there and found not good enough. I wouldn't have welcomed either Greenwood, far better go for a newer emerging rider like Coles, Hume. Mountain, JPB, Shanes, etc. Just hope Connor has inherited his Dad's and Granddad's will to win on the track. Even riding for Exeter, Michael was one of the few riders who would get good scores everywhere, showing he wasn't a one track pony like many Exeter former riders. He always gave his all and it was a pleasure to watch his gutsy style, even though i think he never used to wash his Kevlars. They were always scruffy. Hope his Dad is in his corner all the time to pass on his enthusiasm. If i remember correct SCB's favourite riders used to be Frank Smart AND Michael Coles.

mac101 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Most of The new reserves in every team will struggle apart from a few this year with a good few tracks having a bit of grip/dirt on them as in the NL all the tracks are very slick and with Danny having already got a years experience pretty sure he will score more well this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brough Diamond Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Quite happy with the team. As always you need your riders to up their average in order to win the title and the vast majority of the lads should be able to do that - even Ludde as the 'old hand'. Whilst the team is without doubt weaker than how we finished remember that previousy reserves started on a minimum of 3.00 and if both Danny and Connor were placed on these figures we would be almost on 42 - so we aren't that far off - we just used all the points at the top end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Wasn't thinking instead of Connor..... I was aware of that, more answering your comment in the third sentence. Like you, I will support Connor all the way, and hope Danny picks up the challenge to be top reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrP Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 George mentioned that 40 points was only used for team building. Does that mean that when the first set of greensheets come out most teams will be able to strengthen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that when the first set of greensheets come out most teams will be able to strengthen? I think when the first sheets are available the averages will have to be regulated to 42 points, because the meeting will produce 90 points, the same way as the 50 points figure used for the new Premiership. They could go to 42.5 or anything higher, but that would mean the leagues would need more riders to get to that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 What would happen, if say Jason Doyle got injured in his first match on his 13+ ave, missed the first averages and came back late in the season, after things were regulated ???,,, worms,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leander Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Quite happy with the team. Didn't expect Robert back, so thats a big plus.Our reserves should be okay as there aren't many good reserves named by anyone so far apart from, possibly, Workington with Matt Williamson. Glasow reckon to have Tom Perry at reserve but for that to happen they will need a very weak 4 and 5. (above 3.76 and less than 5) to fit. As long as we avoid injuries to Ash or Lewis as R/R could come back to bite us with having to use the reserves to cover. (Unless the rules have changed). Kings Lynn switching back to wednesdays means no Home clashes for Robert. I understand Ludvig is only riding in Sweden's top division now (Tuesdays) so is available for Thursday matches. That just leaves Steve (IF he goes back to Belle Vue and IF they still stick to Fridays). Just need better fixture planning. For example visit Edinburgh on a friday when Belle Vue aren't riding. ( I doubt they'll be racing every Friday on a GP weekend). Also we've lost two Friday tracks anyway (Somerset and Plymouth). Plus we are now the senior Sunday track. Is Coles an asset of anybody, or does he become one of ours after 4 home and 4 away, or whatever it is now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
