We ain't going to win anything with the weakest reserves in the league. An before people shoot me down.....we ain't national league now, we are championship level, its an entertainment product that people are paying good money for, we should be provided with the best team possible.

scaramanga Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) We are getting entertainment I've never enjoyed it more too be honest Yes we are weak at reserve But the biggest noise is when celina comes close or does pass someone It's not all about winning If you had zmarzlik and Lindgren as a pairing in your team it wouldn't be that entertaining as you would just expect them to win every heat Edited May 17 by scaramanga 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Antti missing next Saturday so will have to find a guest (up to 6.49) as he's riding in the GP qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t entertain any of the Berwick riders. Probably chose from Pearson, Bailey, Edwards, Castagna & Lambert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right in what you say. The club must stay focused and strive to be ambitious. Such a great start to the season, and to win a trophy changes need to be made asap.carry one poor reserve like Poole did and won the league 2 years ago but to carry 2 it will be an impossible task. To make things worse if 1 of the top five get injured again points will be thrown away. Edited May 19 by rearingtogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wouldn't entertain Lambert either, would be terrible. Bailey, Edwards, Castagna or Mountain the best options from the list I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Antti not easy to replace, his scores at Northside excluding the Scunny meeting when he suffered concussion after a fall in his second ride have been 11,10, 6 and 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both reserves are improving week by week and are great to watch. Workington is my favourite team right now. Two ex Swindon riders, 3 exciting new foreigners, solid number one and a raw 100% tryer at no 7. This team needs sticking with. I've already got my credit card ready for the next time they are on the telly! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won everything in our last season at Derwent park. Other issues the reason for the closure which I won’t go into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a guest in who can score 6/7 it should be enough to beat Oxford but would maybe worry about the aggregate bonus point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
