King still rode in most Heats 13 and 15. I might take look at other riders ... be interesting to see how much difference there is in their own averages, in comparison to King. At a guess, P'boro, despite being champs will have very strange figures - not sure how many times one of their reserves appeared in Heat 15! EDIT: Just had a look - I'm not sure that P'boro used a reserve in Heat 15 at home - the team management was shrewd enough to utilise the in-form reserve in the heats, where they were most likely to have an impact, e.g. 8, 12 & 14. Haven't looked at away matches yet. Edited January 10, 2022 by Roger Jacobs Updated info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true that just seeing what an unlimited budget team could look like, the witches side I think will be top 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't looked at away matches yet. Bjarne Pedersen was used in heat 15 of the Grand Final at Peterborough for sentiment reasons only , Hans Andersen & Ulrich Ostergaard had one heat 15 outing each whilst at reserve in the league matches i believe , none away as far as i can see as you say Rob Lyon used the reserves away to great effect before ht15 came around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 .I tell ya what,,, with Belle Vue struggling to find decent riders and most of the other teams known,,, we suddenly don't look so bad, even under the limit as we are. Only Sheffield look stronger to me,,, but even they have up and down riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted January 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) https://ipswichwitches.co/tru-mix-to-sponsor-ipswich-in-2022/ Guy Nicholls continuing to pump his money in. Interesting interview, even though I don’t agree with him on parts of it. “I think it is our turn to win something. Dare I say it, but it is important to me personally as I’ve been going for years but as a business we don’t come second, we dominate every market we are in”. Ouch. Well building a team a couple of points below the available limit certainly isn’t going to help your chances Edited January 19, 2022 by Arch Stanton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has certainly assisted the Tigers in achieving their part with his backing enabling the building of the pre season favourites 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many variables, e.g. availability, desire to ride in GB, and, of course, budget. Edited January 19, 2022 by Roger Jacobs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 This Ipswich 1 to 7 doesn't look to bad now that the majority of the rest of the teams have been confirmed. That coupled with this is clearly a team that both wanted to be here & is also a team the manager wanted to work with is massive in terms of motivation. The jury is out but I suspect just like 2019 we'll surprise a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunthorpe is the same length as Foxhall, with similar bend widths, so again the banking must help - the extra width on the straights is possibly a factor in enabling different lines into and off the bends? I've asked the SCB if they can publish this info for all of the tracks. Edited February 3, 2022 by Roger Jacobs Typo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle - arguably the leagues top rider King - ended last season as No1 and now No2 Batchelor and Riss both started last seasons as No1 Heeps now 5th - last season heat leader Starke and Rowe both in top 5 at times last season 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
