Midland Red Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Should be one rider from each team. Can’t get this 2nd and 3rd can be winners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t get this 2nd and 3rd can be winners You could, but that would always benefit teams like us who have far and away the best rider in the league. At least by packing in second and third it’s more a team effort to get the points. That was a cracking superheat that created the drama that it was brought in for. I accept it’s going to always split opinion and I respect others opinion’s who don’t like it. But personally I hope it’s here to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralMelchett Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 16 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: Totally disagree. The “superheat” at Foxhall earlier in the season generated the best atmosphere I’ve experienced for many many years and is my lasting memory of this entire season. Random people were high fiving complete strangers. You didn’t get that kind of emotion when securing a draw do you? Plenty have liked your post so maybe I’m in the minority but there’s a lot of traditionalists out there that just don’t like change. Agree it was the best atmosphere I can remember at Foxhall in a long time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been strong at top and tail, but inconsistent in the middle. But currently I agree with you, Rowe and an unfit/struggling Starke isn’t going to cut it in the play offs against Belle Vue especially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starke is usually a trump card at reserve and normally scores very well there. He’s carrying a shoulder injury and is clearly struggling. Hume is a massive miss also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bulls*it statement that it makes it interesting for tv viewers is absolute crap. Majority of people watching are speedway fans not some average Joe channel hopping and all of sudden that into it they don’t wanna see a drawn meeting. It’s so unnecessary and actually embarrassing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Enjoyed that. Some good racing and ding dong scoring. Not a fan of the Superheat personally but it was a decent race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the main body he’s often found wanting, but at reserve he often piles in the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Good effort from Summers there by the way. Paid 7 after failing to score in his first ride was good going in the main body of the team. Vital contribution. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be draws. If a meeting is called off after heat 10 and scores are level, meeting is declared a draw with 1 point each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 The first 7 heats were curb crawling follow the leader stuff. Improved a little after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
