Let's just see how many riders are doubling up in both leagues before we get into anymore Premiership / Championship, better / worse discussions. Having witnessed first hand over the last 15 years my clubs involvement in all 3 leagues, and the televised Premiership meetings last year, I can honestly say the best racing has been in the Championship where the riders seem to be more evenly balanced in terms of average assessments. I think it was something like 55% of Premiership riders last year also had a place in the Championship. Having said that, I may be tempted to pop along to to the Abbey when Sheffield visit. Yes, a 4 hour round trip to see the one rider who put's bums on seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my points was that I can’t see many Swindon supporters being interested and time will tell if my opinion is correct or not. BTW Swindon were in the second tier for several years after being relegated not so long ago - and I enjoyed the racing in that league. So I am not sitting in any ivory tower with tinted glasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 On 11/28/2019 at 9:33 PM, DC2 said: All three of these appear to be PL 4 pointers: Wells 7.05 CL, Jordan Stewart 5.74 CL, Jonas Jeppesen has never achieved an average. You may take the view that the bottom two are young improvers that will be more successful than Lampart in making their mark in the 1 to 5, but I think Wells is the better bet. Having said that, I’d be happy if we got either of the youngsters as an asset. Really hope it works out for Anders so with Adam surely the 6th rider then the last rider is the one we all want to know. No mention of the average Anders will have.

Exactly and with averages and team building rules the whole crux of the sport these matters should be open transparent and known to all from day 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
