I just feel for the young lads at reserve in some of these teams,  young Palin is struggling and you ask yourself what is this doing to him long term and as a product for the fans is it working?  They have 3 rides and you can’t tell me it’s good for them scoring little to no points and confidence being destroyed. Peterborough had a 5 man team and like you say even in that you are carrying a rider a meeting in the top 5. 

I remember the talk during the pandemic from one of the promoters that six man teams were one plan being considered.. 

Maybe the FS scheme was a compromise to this.?

Basically six man teams and a "junior"...

Thus. It would keep the septet team structure, make it look as if we are using the 'Polish model' (to a fashion), and therefore have a development plan, and I would imagine be a 'bit cheaper' than the usual 2nd tier second string riding at No7..

And who knows, some may benefit from it..

Tom Brennan certainly appears to be able to hold his own against more experienced opponents..

Most though certainly dont add much to the entertainment factor, but hardly their fault..

The scheme works in Poland, I know some of their youngsters are light years ahead of ours at 16 but they get thrown in the deep end in their top league and while its sink or swim u til they are 21 those who do swim end up being very good. Last night may have dented Pailin's confidence a bit but he will probably score reasonably well against Lynn on Thursday and then get a hatful for Scunny next time out so he'll be fine. We have a good crop of young uns but they need to be tested and pushed.

The likes of Andersen should not be allowed to ride at No 7 allowing him to ride in the protected heat 8.He should be at No6.It should be the the young star at 7 for all teams.

Having heat 8 protected is pointless, unless your weakest reserve is at number 7! For example within the rules heat 8 could've consisted of Rory Schlein & Ryan Douglas vs Hans Andersen & Bjarne Pedersen / Chris Harris / Scott Nicholls! Does that heat need protecting?
