Could the same not be said for Rye at Monmore ?  

Of course it could. Rye House at Wolves should one of our toughest tests particularly with so many track specialists i.e. Harris, Nicholls and Robson.  At a pre-season talk-in for 2017 CVS was asked why he hadn't signed either of Harris or Nicholls. He didn't reply specifically but did say that he still had his two favourite guests available to him. In 2017, the scores at Monmore were 55-37 and 50-41 but of course Wolves had a good team, that barring injuries, I feel would have won the double.This year it appears that Harris  and Nicholls have not started well in their first two away matches and are out of form. It remains to be seen whether they will come back into form or are on a steady decline. There's no doubting that they have contributed much to British speedway

I do wish Rye House would turn the PA system down in the main stand. It is painful and spoils the evening as I always get a headache. It is the only stadium I have ever had a problem with!

Earplugs needed perhaps.    Or muffs.

Have you thought about pruning your profile ?   Its a full life history and takes up half a page every time you post.  :D

Best reserves, or just one reserve who can mop up, will win a team the league.    It needs changing.

Absolutely SPOT ON buddy. Been like that for a few seasons now. You add up and compare the combined scores of numbers 6 and 7 for each team in 8/10 meetings and that will be the difference between the two sides. Unless someone is injured then the max number of rides a reserve should be allowed during a meeting should be 5 instead of 7.

Looking at the Rye House team tonight, Wolves should have won that. 

Think most were thinking the same when Poole went to Belle Vue who were terribly weakened. 

But still, we got a point. So they all count come September.

5 rides would seem about right.     I don't agree that a reserve who is riding poorly can only have 3 rides.    He is part of the team and should take his 4 rides.

Dear me.. this forum does talk some nonsense at times.

Why is it nonsense ?     

It's how you build your side.

Some prefer to be top heavy with weaker reserves, others go more balanced ensuring always a strong reserve. It's not a recent thing, it's been that way for decades.

It creates opportunity for astute management (which there is hardly opportunity for anymore) yet some want to sterilise the tactical options yet further.

Jakobsen had seven rides tonight purely because of RR.

I overlooked the RR tonight so get your point about Jabobsen's 7 rides tonight.     But I still think both reserves should take 4 rides each and not 5/3.      I also think when a rider goes through the tapes a reserve should not be allowed to take his place.   Go off 15 metres instead.
