crescent girl Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Mind you, this move brings Plymouth right in line with the best teams in the league. Who knows that they might spring a surprise in these last away matches? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home win to Newcastle was nailed on whatever the team. yet this decision is going to cost (assuming Lawson is on £1.5k a meeting) around about £6k more than having Edwards for these meetings yet will put very little in terms of numbers on the gate for a single home match? After Eastbourne this seems poor financial management which is ironic given the main team sponsor! Maybe this is linked to next year being that the novelty of Crump will have warn off and Pederson retiring? You're right you are confused and making rash assumptions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothers Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Both Bowtell and .Edwards were listed as rising stars in the original list issued by the Men in Black but Edwards now has a 2 point average according to the last gsa's. I applaud Plymouth's astute use of the averages. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doners123 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Credit where credit is due Plymouth and Mark in particular have proved everyone wrong this year. They joined in late, set up the team so that they could get decent crowds in all season and cemented the club for next year. people gave them no hope and they go into the last 3/4 meetings with a slim chance to get there. Bringing in Lawson gives that slim chance a bit stronger and may also look towards next season with possibly signing Lawson next season. I believe this team would have happened earlier but crumps injury didn’t allow it. it would have been a lot earlier this change happened and Plymouth would have been even stronger all season. there’s a chance they get in to the play offs and if they do they could win it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalDon45 Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Superb lineup. I’m sure for some it could be seen as an audition for 22. Stunning way to end the home season and further wet the appetite for next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) So can I assume a 12 rider individual & this will be the riding order?

Also suprised to see Kyle Newman at reserve Edited September 6, 2021 by Technik add on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your saying Newman would be there anyway. I know he is without a team at present but I didn't understand why he would travel to Plymouth just to be a reserve when I think he is possibly better than half of those nominated. I think I would have put Henry Atkins at reserve. I know his father is the meeting sponsor but the lad has not raced this year since the injury. He may have had a session around the circuit or after a meeting but theres a big difference between practice & racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing him back on a bike as much as I am any of the big names, regardless of how rusty he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike0310 Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Kyle newman is the reserve so I’d imagine it’s him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 It appears Richard Lawson has a broken collerbone. Such a shame for the end of his season, nice bloke & always 100% 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
