More details in the International section of this forum. But what is ‘seemed to do well’ ? It is his home track and used to thump the oppo there. So he is either not fully fit or no longer the rider he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is either not fully fit or no longer the rider he was I'd say 10 points and finishing in the top 5 in that meeting is fit enough to score points at PL level. He's not been the rider he was for a number of seasons now but could still do a job in the PL. Not a top man but on a par with the majority of PL heat leaders I'd expect. Point is he can throw his leg over a bike and score points in what appears to have been a decent standard field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so, but with speedway on another track the cards would be shuffled differently. This was the track he knows best I always remember when he was a rising star that he used to be great at Fjelsted and very average elsewhere. Is he returning to those days again Edited April 17, 2022 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 On 4/17/2022 at 8:43 AM, Arch Stanton said: Not sure there’s many (if any) reliable heatleaders around. Belle Vue have struggled all winter to find one. This is where this new rule of not being able to make changes until 25% of league fixtures have been completed doesn’t work. If Lynn can only find a 5 pointer, are they supposed to struggle for a quarter of the season before they can make more changes? If PK doesn’t come, then Lynn might need to make a couple of changes to remain competitive. But if the best to replace Iversen turns out to be signing a 5 pointer, how would dropping another (5.5-6.5) rider make them competitive, you've pointed out there's only 5 pointers to replace them?

Arch Stanton Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 The “5 pointer” was hypothetical and a loose example. I think you know what I was getting at. The basic point remains, they should be allowed to make more than one change if they can’t find an adequate replacement, and they feel a couple of changes would get the overall team strength closer to the strength they originally declared. I accept it’s more tricky for Lynn than others because of the way they’ve built their side with a strong reserve already at the bottom end of the team.

Heathcote Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Just a heads up to any Panthers fan making arrangements to visit Sheffield on the 5th May by swapping work shifts planning lifts etc. Now the league one play off dates have been announced, if Sheff We’d finish 6th in league one they would be at home on the 5th May which would undoubtedly lead to the postponement of the Panthers fixture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Dan Gilkes in good form in the championship. Must be worth a call up soon with Palin struggling and running R/R for MPT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Gilkes looks more suited to the size of tracks at Ipswich or Wolverhampton there 2 tracks that Palin doesn't seem comfortable on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Palin struggling again tonight. Dan Gilkes on fire again. The club has to be ruthless and give Dan Gilkes a start over Jordan Palin vs. Belle Vue. EDIT Dan's just had a bad crash in Heat 14 so he won't be fit enough to take Palin's place.

The top prizes get played out on several smaller circuits too so riders do need to be more than one dimensional.. I would suggest that when you are into your third year of regular racing, those who move on to "the top level" tend to be third HL level in the 2nd Div and holding down a 2nd string spot in the 1st.. With the next three years moving them up to top two in their Div 1 team and a No1 in Div 2... Not many do like Doyle and spend several years "very average" then suddenly become genuinely "World Class".. Riders like Brennan are definitely on that gradual glide path that so many who reach the very top seem to have taken.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Palin rides Belle vue very well 8 and 5 and 3 bonus points on his last 2 visits worry's me a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasser90 Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Well…… that was pathetic ! Yea we had a fair few mechanical issues but we were no where near off the gate. Basso said he tried a new engine today and it was the slowest thing he’s ever ridden. He’s been flying so far so why decide to change the engine ?! I know it’s only the first meeting of the league campaign but I can’t help but feel we might be in trouble. The boys haven’t been looking great in the championship either, palin looks a shadow of the rider he was last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
