Don't think where he lives has any bearing on where he goes,after all riders come from everywhere. I spoke to Picko's mechanic last night, and he said that Josh is riding in Poland this weekend, he said if it goes ok he'll be back. I took it as at Lynn, but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope so. I'd be surprised if MPT will be riding on Monday. RR should cover, if it comes to it, with everyone able to take one of his rides.

Lots of 'traditionalist" not huge fans of the superheat yet when Ipswich won against peterborough last season it got a massive roar and everyone seemed right up for it.

A dramatic race which ended with the home fans going wild. On another social channel, someone said you would have thought we had just won the league. Tradition is important but so is innovation. Promoters have got it right with super heat. There was real tension as race evolved and everyone was talking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a great idea, which shows innovation and fan focused improvements to the sport, every meeting going forward has to have a winner which brings huge excitement.. Unless of course, you lose it.. Then it is a contrived crap idea and they haven't a clue on how to run things. What is bloody wrong with a draw anyway?.. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or in an hypothetical scenario A v B - A fixture meeting is drawn so a super heat, Team A win B v A - B fixture meeting is drawn so a super heat, Team A Win But they are tied for the aggregate bonus....so is there Super heat also?? Which say Team B win? So Team A wins both matches but loses the aggregate bonus point Brilliant innovation???? Or diabolical situation....although cant complain at 33 heats for the price of 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 The simple answer is that if the 2 sides draw the 2nd match and they are tied on aggregrate, the super heat decides both the match and the aggregate point. But to pick up on what others are saying. You do know that super heat is an abbreviation? It's full name is the superfluous heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the other side of Norfolk is a different story If you get stuck behind a Fowler & Welch monster, that only seems to do 25MPH from Sleaford to Newark, you can be looking at 3-hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction from the crowd was as if we had won the league as someone put it.It reminded me of the crowd many years ago when more went.Even I give a big old cheer,something I haven't done for a while,only a jeer towards a ref decision or something is what I am more use too. I'm not a fan of a superheat,last night excepted.Again if it works for you it's the best thing since sliced bread,if it doesn’t then you will be so anti. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 That could save Buster some money. Just have 7 riders, change their race jackets. When KL raced P'boro they could just book guests and use R/R to make up a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
