Is this genuinely seriously the plan? If so... Might as well have had it at Esbjerg... But if Sheffield pull out I suppose Buxton may take it on....

It’s the other end of the country. 40 Poole fans? 150 Leicester? 50 Glasgow? Surely would have been better to have a three leg final at the clubs that are in it. Don't Panic Don't Panic I'll be there Steve waving me Jolly Roger! I do agree with you though about having a 3 leg final. Why change the format for the Final? I'll never ever get me noddle around the inner thinking of the B.S!(PA) when deciding where & when things are held & I include the Championship Riders'Final in that especially now being on a Wednesday. No thought for the supporters at all on that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Poole will go without Ablitt which in theory makes them stronger with only the 2 Cook boys having no Sheffield track experience. Don't know which one it is but one of the Cooks is at Sheffield nearly every week Mechanicing for Jack Holder who I'm sure would pass plenty of knowledge on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it’s at a track that is in a different league. Pairs in the past have been at Glasgow, Workington, Somerset and now this year Oxford - 2nd tier division tracks. Could have had a 4TT final with best 2nd place team being the 4th qualifying team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is he doing better than Joe Thompson now? Leicester one not as clear. Us or Oxford should definitely be given a headstart of some kind as no Sheffield riders. Maybe Jack Holder could have a ride or something, just to make it fair I'd be inclined to drop Broc. But it'll be one of Broc or Connor.

Beirao Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Why? Right now Broc is in better form than Connor and Broc was a Sheffield rider before he joined Glasgow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerro Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 On current form its a no brainer to take Broc over Connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Broc for me Connor showing very little away from Glasgow he was like a petulant child at Berwick last night in the heat that ended in. 3-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagy1 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Broc has rode for Sheffield. It’s a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A season away from Glasgow would do Connor good IMO. Learning a new track and not having the luxury of being carried at times in a strong team could be the push he needs. I still think he needed NL racing somewhere this year despite the lack of meetings, being Belle Vue No8 has proven meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah blodorn and etheridge have missed meetings but used Z Cook instead. Defeats the purpose of the no.8 imo. Connor definitely needs more racing, anytime couple weeks off he's off the pace when start again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I'd suggest a "big" track such as Berwick or Sheffield or Peterborough or Manchester or maybe loan him to our friends at Poole.

Beirao Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Connor isn't going to see much action in August. Three meetings at home to Brum, away at Redcar and Plymouth and that's it. If Tigers are second then their play off semi is unlikely to be before mid September so it could be just three meetings in six weeks.
