Hurry was scoring less than 3 points a match & r/r less than 4 points a match, so Batchelor doesn't need to score 12 points a match to strengthen Kent! If he gets an 8.00 ave Kent will be stronger! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seeing your view of it and I now feel entirely different. Surely the Kings MUST be stronger ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 The proof of the pudding will be on tuesday night,,We beat Eastbourne recently with a good guest Kyle Howarth,,,so we should beat them again if Batchelor is the rider we hope he is ?

If there were riders on 8 + 5 averages available, it'd be a bad move to sign an 11.1 rider who won't hit that figure! But there wasn't many options out there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 6 are so far clear any lack of matches raced will not change the top 6, maybe make a difference to the top 2! The biggest issue will probably be so many matches being raced after the cut off date for the play-offs, or even after the play-offs themselves, which could be hard to convince fans to turn up to watch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't understand the whole 5% for guests (I still don't if I'm honest) and then I showed him the table and it blew his mind! If someone who has a knowledge of the sport cannot understand it how on earth are we supposed to attract new fans?

If Eastbourne get themselves sorted, they could easily catch Scunthorpe imo, win their 3 home meetings in hand, and a win and a point away from home in their 3 away meetings and they’re back with them, I know it’s not as simple as that, same with Birmingham, but less likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
