moomin man 76 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 After the false start of the previous 'Crawley Heathens' thread, I thought it better to start a new threat, to allow Heathens fans and others to discuss the forthcoming season. Amongst the apparent issues to consider are race night and how many available dates might be available at 'Monmore Wood,' the potential points limit for team building (I personally can't see it being lower than 40) and potential team lineups if clubs will be working to a 40 points limit.

MattJ81 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Rumour was that last season would be Max's last in the NL, although I guess that depends on how things go for him with team places in leagues higher up. Would certainly be a massive space to fill, but at least with us starting team building a little earlier this year we can get cracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Max says in the Speedway Star he'd consider NL next year. With the current rules preventing Ash from DU then there's a bit of a gap at number 1. Williamson back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chessell - 8.57 Rutherford - 4.06 Perry - 8.12 Bowtell/Dwyer - 4.21/4.15 Ayres - 8.56 Basford - 3.15 Atkins - 3.00 Total 39.67/39.61 Edited November 14, 2016 by Sings4Kings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, riders with bigger improvements in them required at second string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Dwyer was hitting over 5 for large parts of the past season & i think Bowtell will prosper at another track. Atkins is one of the top youngsters who seems to be a little under the radar at present. There will be teams with much longer tails than that one.

I certainly wouldn't disagree about your thoughts regarding Atkins, but I'm not sure how much further improvement the likes of Dwyer, Bowtell and Basford have in them, as they have ridden at National League level for some time in obtaining the averages they have.

moomin man 76 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 We tried that this year,didn't work. My point exactly - three strong heat leaders and a long tail didn't work this season. If there's a 40 point limit, the team cannot afford to have more than two strong heat leaders. The notional third heat leader plus second strings and reserves need to have plenty of improvement in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Are we running at all? Not a lot of noise coming from the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
