It's already been on that Hull won the league won the league without an out and out number one but with a solid team,  i think the following season they had no stadium.  Some teams now have effectively two number ones though, it's gonna be interesting, roll on March.

Whilst we appear to have a solid looking team I can see what you mean about us possibly struggling in heats 13 and 15 against some of the teams who will have one, two even three big hitters in their line up. It should however provide some close meetings and hopefully some great entertainment at DP this year.

A solid 1-7 v top heavy, who wins?

Roll on March.

Interesting riding order - I’m not a worky fan so haven’t seen them all around your track but looking at the lineup not at all how I’d put them together!

I’d go with proctor at 5 think he’d win more races than klindt there - some good no.5’s in the league that know beating klindt at the tapes is likely all they need to do proctor a bit more of a racer and also a decent starter!

therefore I’d put klindt+rasser at 3/4 so you’ve got the Danes together and a gater + a racer in the engine room, putting Bewley at 2 which would also mean in campton increases he’s can slide straight into no.2!! 

If Rene can get back to how he was a few years back when he and kenni Larsen tore the league apart at Newcastle then could be dark horses! I see improvement in rasser bewley and bickley - but if he can’t I don’t see improvement in klindt or much in proctor so could leave you short in hts 13/15 - all that said and entertaining looking side and great to see young brits in local teams

LOL . what makes you think that is Workingtons riding order ? only 1,6 and 7 are correct .

 

klink could be @ 2 or  even reserve @ one time !

the person who put this on the team 2018 line up,s is not the person who will be deciding the line up .

He did have one very good meeting yes...not don't anything of note since.  Most riders have had at least one good meeting at foxhall...even klindt did about 10 years ago

looks like you got it wrong about the rider that couldnt comit due to work comitments then as its now turned out to be rene bach

as others said at the time it was never said the rider was in last years team just a previous rider

most new ty was probably back and matt had said himself workington had never been intouch

 

I got nothing wrong, that came from Laura's write up in the Star about  struggling with plans as a rider had Work commitments

Looks a team of second strings... whos winning races?? Think Bewley will end up as number 1 by the end of the year 

Come back in October and then make judgement:rolleyes:, until then you haven't a bloody clue how any of the riders are going to do , all if's and but's as with any team. take for example Glasgow have put out very strong teams over last seasons and won a KOC title , that's it ...its not what's on paper that counts

no it didnt

you were the one along with another poster that said it was a member of last years team that couldnt return

it said in the paper the rider we wanted cant comit due to work restrictions and it would be a returning rider

never said returning from last year

which others pointed out it never said member of last years team

but i forgot you are never wrong are you

there was people who new rene had been in touch with a few clubs
