This guy is a 60+ old man. He’s got strange behaviour for a mid sixties year old man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 With no Doyle we should really be taking advantage of this. Although we all know what play off Harris is like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he rode for us he was particularly poor. Didn’t get one of his brilliant rides all season. was never his fault though. Track or set ups He did have a disappointing season with us, but to be honest since then he’s been a thorn in our side and ridden Foxhall superbly! This season 12+2 dropping one point to Doyle from his completed rides, last season when he visited three times with Peterborough, he scored 11+1, 14+1 and 14+1 again. Pretty impressive!

I was there for 2 of those Peterborough meetings - one which included the super heat win - the other thing about Chris is he is always capable of pulling out a big score whereever he rides, his best days are yes behind him now but never discount his ability to score points and entertain! added to say which is probably why he gets so many guest bookings - that and an ave that fits!

And always equally as likely to score poorly, as he has for Peterborough in their last couple of matches. Let's hope it's the former.

mikebv Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) One rider did tell me a few years ago that guesting in a play off can be "very good" for the bank balance... With a decent "guarantee" but an "excellent" incentive for scoring "x" number of points... Dont know if that is still the case, but you would imagine teams would want to motivate their guest to the maximum...

Let's hope it's the former. Unfortunately he does have off nights and I have seen him many times have a breakdown in his first ride then win the rest of his rides but when he retires the sport will miss him a lot. He is the most entertaining rider we have, nobody likes to see him gate, a bit like nobody wanted to see Mark Loram gate which was rare but happened now and again.

SUPERACE Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 3 hours ago, foreverblue said: No I expect most fans dont even know who their number 8 is and very few teams turn up with a number 8 even if they are using r/r and now you can use irr . Hodder is only their for the experience , Lemon won't use him unless you have the unfortunate scenario of a injury to a reserve and if he didn't ride you would only have 3 riders. That's exactly why you should have a number 8, IRR no good if a reserve gets injured especially when also covering R/R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams having a "fixed price - this is what we pay" could mean a rider turning up to cover his costs rather than the benefit of the team.

TTT Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Get the hose pipe on the track now I say, The rain water can finish the job off later tonight. No logical reason to run the fixture when it only benefits the opposition. You wouldn't see Poole running a crucial fixture with a trophy up for grabs in the old Elite League days if they were missing a prime Darcy Ward or Chris Holder.

Hope so... 50/50 for me at the moment... 4hrs drive and will probably book a hotel rather than the four hours back in one day.... Decisions. Decisions....
