89buttons Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 No spot for Connor Mountain? Think theres more improvement and confidence in Hume and Jenkins, however Connor has shown steady progress in the second half of the season, lots of potential, if hes not in the witches frame would fancy him for Peterborough, hes looked good around there as a visiting rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Connors away average was higher than his Foxhall figure. A home track where he feels more comfortable like Boro or Sheff could boost his confidence and help him kick on. Another Id be happy to have in our 1-7 but like Nathan probably better combinations without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Tbh I'd be happy with Mountain and one of JPB or Bacon at reserve and have a stronger top end. We all know who three of our team will be Ostergaard, Lambert and Starke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 As much as I think Connor has been brilliant after a early season wobble I do feel he won't be back next season , a shame really but it's all a numbers game . Hume and Jenkins do offer alot more potential IMO with Kemp waiting in the wings for the following season .I think Kemp could very well be better than Jenkins in the long run but how many times do young starlets appear only to not fulfil their potential. Think Connor would do a good job at the showground MASSIF recommendation for the Panthers if they could get him there . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm a little disappointed that they set the points limit so high, was hoping for 38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm a little disappointed that they set the points limit so high, was hoping for 38 In some ways I'm glad its high as that should mean stronger teams. It's probably been set so high so clubs can have 5/6 riders doubling up, this will save on costs as riders will ride for less if they're contracted to a 1st division club as well as a 2nd division club. Looking at the proposed strength of our team, surely our top five would be wanted in the 1st division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Very little difference these days between the two divisions. A top flight team would still beat a second tier team of course before anyone pipes up with that, but the difference is marginal compared to years gone by. My preference has always been a return to the top flight since the day we dropped down, but these days Im not so sure. You could argue that the Championship is currently a more attractive League with more variety and numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 This is the issue you might avoid clashes with fixed race nights but if as you say 5 riders ride in the top league as well it's more likely they will get injured or suffer issues riding for another team also Bspa AGM was a waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) It wasn't a waste of time.....a couple of em topped up their tans nicely..and the pinacolado where on buy one get one free Edited November 21, 2017 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm happy with the tac sub rule change however I fear even more double uppers and possibly guests. These two issues should have been tackled or at least a plan put in place to scrap both of these over the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 There may well be more double up riders..but it shouldn't affect clubs any longer..Unless you are a Thursday club and use a swindon rider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Scott Danny Nico Cam Kyle Danyon Jenkins 42.31 I think You get that team might aswell give you the trophy thats a hell of a line up 🍾🍾 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 That lineup would mean Kyle at no.2 which is a strong rider in that position, also likely to be with nicholls most of the season whos a better team rider than Danny, whereas riding at 5 Dannys primary focus is beating opposite number and hoping reserve beats reserve rather than team riding a no.2 home. Should mean more 5-1s from 1-2 and still plenty of 4-2 from 5-7, cam and nico powerful 3-4 pairing, if cam maintains this seasons level and increases his away consistency could easily put another point on! Both danyon and Jordan would make a mockery of their starting averages, much like this year only thing holding it back would be injuries!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Okay okay okay...did anyone not watch nicholls in every heat one at foxhall??? He will not be number one all season..he can't gate for 💩..and because of that Danny would be back to number 1 pretty soon. I'm not saying that's a bad thing...but as witnessed with our own eyes he won't find it as easy as some of you think he might. Having said all that..I do believe that team would challenge for honours if kept injury free. Any injury to one of the reserves would be very hard to cover whilst averaging 2 .

CookieIpswich Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Not sure if this fits but Schlein Newman Covatti Heeps King Hume Jenkins Tho it's really harsh on Nathan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
