Honey Monster Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Are the rising star reserve protected from go king into the main body of the team? Just thinking at this rate, Leon Flint will be No1 for Berwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five of the team have increased their averages and two riders have dropped almost seven points between them. So what should "the special one" do next.... Tonight will be a crucial match for some of the Lions riders, It’s time to show what they can do otherwise the Special one will need to be having a delicate discussion with the Bates family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizHeathen Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 To come close to honours this year there needs to be two changes based on current form. That should enable another big hitter to come in. A very strong top 4 plus the improving twins and one other...but who...and how.. Would Adam Ellis and Connor Bailey fit for Proctor and Bates?...purely hyperthetical of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "killer" is though, if they have to be replaced with a guest, they can only be replaced by another Rising Star on or below their starting *number, is how I believe it works.

Or RR, which would be the likely replacement in the majority of cases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, indeed, but I did say IF they have to be replaced by a guest. Perhaps I should have said "If they are replaced by a guest", but R/R remains an option. God knows how that would work, if they remain on their *number from the start of the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see any circumstance where using a facility under Reg 12.4 would mean an RS rider in the 1-5 would have to be replaced by a guest.

IainB Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I see Damien Bates on the website complaining about ticket sales for tonight and worried for Saturday. I can't comment on the cubs as I have zero interest in them but I thought the crowd was quite healthy last Saturday and that was a dead rubber that had zero promotion on the website. If it's on I'll be there on Saturday night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Lion Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I am sorry but with today’s result Ty Proctor & Josh Bates simply have to go now. I know Josh didn’t ride this weekend but his performances & injury's alone are enough for me. Don’t get me started on Ty Proctor last time i checked you turned the throttle back & the bike left . He rolls the throttle off & turns the bike right almost like he doesn’t want to race. Can anyone who was there tell me if he was the same at Newcastle today ? No more excuse or compassion can be given . We all know the only reason they are still in a job is because of their connection to our club owners. The next 7 days will be key to what the ambitions of the club are . Strengthen up & we have a fighting chance of the play offs leave the team as it is & we can kiss goodbye to any chance of silverware.

I wasn’t at Newcastle myself but from reports of people who were Ty Proctor looked uninterested in racing and even when he got in front soon found himself at the back by going too wide and shutting off too early. To make changes even with the Bates family blessing is difficult due to Dan Thompson and both Douglas and & Morris improving their average. So to make one change there is not the riders out there that would make that big difference. The other option is to make two changes and bring in another heat leader and then sign a 2-3point rider but then more pressure on Dan Thompson who would be at 2 or 4 although he seemed to handle the pressure well this weekend. This option may have progress if the right rider becomes available but is complicated with the restrictions on admission to pay for these changes. I agree in principle that the season is fast pushing ahead and if Leicester want to push for play offs need to get wins on the road as well as assuring home wins and not allowing visitors to gain any points on their visits to Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 The worst part of Ty’s performance today apart from turning right instead of left was pulling onto the centre green under power after a couple of laps when last only for Clegg to have a problem and have to push his bike round for half a lap. If he had carried on he would have a got a point and so would we. Just totally unprofessional and did not appear to go down well in the pits either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
