Would Josh Auty or  Claus Vissing be a better bet to Wells,Berge,Kurtz.At Swindon if we put young Rowe in i would be happy to be against the calibre of Berge , Wells, Kurtz. Todd i have seen guest a few times at Prem level and no way he is good anough.

So are you saying that Rowe would / will average more than Kurtz? Not sure I agree with that.

Vissing was last year at Swindon he scored vital points at the tail end of the season.If the track is back to its Owlerton best Auty can battle around there and lets be honest Wells, Berge, Kurtz none of them are world beaters.

So Todd it is. I do hope he ends up our number 7 as he should do the business for us there around Owlerton. He's probably been saddled with an average just above what I'd expect of him in this league, but with Todd you've got a rider who can really pull it out of the bag at home and beat riders you wouldn't expect him to.

No i am not but that level of rider Anders could pick up a few points against them here and there.

 

I don’t know why you keep banging on about Anders Rowe riding in the PL, other than the fact that Rosco has dug himself a hole with the Swindon tail.

Anders is not eligible due to not having achieved the converted 3 point average and he’s not ready.

Are you certain that the rule has not been changed? also it would be a learning curve for him for the future.Dug himself a hole? Rosco!!!! total nonsense   the four   named so far  i am chuffed with and if the lower end riders are a problem we can address that if needed.By the way still waiting for your 1/7??? seeing you know better/NOT  than Alun/Lee.

Was 7.30, going back to 7.45 would be better as the dogs don't finish until after 6.

I'm pretty sure that. at the last STAARS meeting Damien Bates said that the start time would be 7:30.

We don’t know the ruling on that for next season.

They have dropped the 1 over 8 rule already so nothing is definite yet.

All are better around Sheffield than Auty and Vissing though and next to no difference away

You are joking Auty at his best could pick those lot off no problem Berge is basically a gater away awful.Wells now is a slow rider especially on the fast tracks on the technical tracks he can still hold his own.Vissing at Swindon showed after an awful start really got dialled in at home and was improving week on week averaging over four.

Todd's been fantastic at home wherever he has ridden at Championship level (Newport, Plymouth, Somerset & Sheffield)

When he first came over and entered Newport's team - i never would have thought he'd have gone on to ride the OTA and Owlerton anywhere near as well - as he rode Newport & Plymouth. I think he's shown a lot of application and determination to do that & certain other tracks (Peterborough) springs to mind - where he's been fantastic in the last few seasons. Lack of racing and predominantly riding at number 2 for most of his career in 2nd division hasn't helped.

As everyone knows he's likely to struggle away, simply because that is what his weakness has always been since riding over here and for that reason probably not going to achieve his converted average.  

But at home, i think he is certainly capable of beating a number of riders on his home track in the Premiership.

I think it's great that (whatever the reasons behind it) Simon has decided to have a bit of continuity & that Sheffield have given him a chance at this level.
