If you only improve a little bit you can normally find yourself a team spot. Ive tried to explain this to so many people who are not involved and they just can't get their heads around it. As you say S4S he could end up being a victim of his own success. I just wonder how much average manipulation actually goes on in all leagues towards the end of seasons ? Josh is a prime example of why we should have graded riders not average based teams. Travesty when you put the hard yards in and get kicked in the balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 At reserve I would like to see George Rothery get a permanent spot at number 6 and the Millar brothers share the number 7 spot. Gives them both experience and a friendly rivalry between them, without putting a whole season's worth of pressure on them. Especially considering there will be A LOT of travelling to the likes of Kent, IOW and Plymouth... They can share them rides between them. In the main body I would like to see Leon Flint and Willie Lawson at 1 and 5. Would have been nice if Luke Ruddick and Connor Coles were involved too, but maybe staying at one track season's on end isn't their goal in speedway. Be interesting to see who the final 3 riders are, whether Ryan MacDonald might pop over the country from Glasgow? Look forward to seeing a good and competitive team from the Devils, good luck to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can cover all 6 away fixtures in two weekends away, tough on man and machines but also potentially saving a fortune on fuel Bill's, and probably get some travelling fans taking in a southern tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but NL this season is in the main below his level, He has had 2 seasons in NL and to improve he really needs to ride against opposition above his level. iMO.Rates of pay surely can’t make it viable.

Yes Jason Pipe has said the fixture should facilitate this. Like IOW on a Thurs & Plymouth on a Fri etc. Or Leicester on a Sat & Mildenhall on a Sun.

At Leon’s age, any track time is invaluable, and I’d say especially on a technical track like Armadale and whatever the opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutherford has been around a long time now and at best, is a poor reserve, no future in him whatsoever in my opinion. Wallinger is around 27, again in my opinion, not a one for the future. At Berwick we have Mason Watson, only been riding a year, ex Moto X and you can see the improvement almost weekly, The type of rider I’d like to see the promotion going with, After all it is the National DEVELOPMENT League 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
