wjm 261 Posted August 26, 2010 So that makes him one of the worst riders to win the pairs too? William James mcdonald Been a few decent riders to win the pairs over the years , Ashworth is decent but when it comes to the P.L.R.C it is an insult he has ever won it , look at the winners over the years and Ashworth isn't in there class. Has he ever had a season when he has averaged over 9 for a year ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,656 Posted August 26, 2010 seconded. it's a shared event which needs a big crowd to generate revenue for ALL the clubs.who's gonna bring in more people - ashworth or lemon (for example) ? Agree with that. So that means Lemon all day long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWS 3 Posted August 26, 2010 I'd let Kim Nilsson go in after his performance at Sheffield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,921 Posted August 26, 2010 I'd let Kim Nilsson go in after his performance at Sheffield Won't matter as it will not be 2nd highest average heatleader from the another club my guess is that the line up will be something like this. Berwick; Rymel Birmingham; Lyons Edinburgh; Ryan Fisher Glasgow; Joe Screen Kings Lynn; Tomas Topinka Newcastle; Kenni Larsen Newport; Leigh Lanham Redcar; Gary Havelock Rye House; Linus Sundstrom Scunthorpe; David Howe Sheffield; Josh Auty or Ricky Ashworth Somerset; Cory Gathercole Stoke; Taylor Poole Workington; Craig Cook And the other two places will be Mark Lemon Travis McGowan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king junior 394 Posted August 26, 2010 Personally i would prefer to see Ashworth in the PLRC, obviously as a Sheffield fan for me the more Sheffield riders the better. But we have to pick the riders fairly, that being the top 16 riders possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bri1966 201 Posted August 26, 2010 It would only back up the opinion that he is one of the worst riders to win the P.L.R.C , IMO. That honour goes to Ian Barney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlasgowBoy2 0 Posted August 26, 2010 Im sure the MC will come up with a rule that wont allow Joe Screen to race in it, something like you need to have raced 20 matches for your club Lets face it they did for the pairs and the fours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,074 Posted August 26, 2010 Im sure the MC will come up with a rule that wont allow Joe Screen to race in it, something like you need to have raced 20 matches for your club Lets face it they did for the pairs and the fours Well we're always wanting them to be consistant so ...........................

skittle_face 3 Posted August 26, 2010 Lemon = zzzz , better with a rider who will race and entertain people. Just as a reminder to yourself and any others who feel Ashworth add's more to the meeting then Lemon I refer you to the following from Sheffield v Newcastle Premier League match 8/7/10 at Owlerton : Ricky Ashworth - 2, X, 3, 0 = 5 Mark Lemon - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 = 15 MAXIMUM Anyone who was there that evening will tell you that Lemon definitly didnt = zzzz that night. However will Lemon still be ahead of Rene Bach in the Newcastle averages come 1st September greensheets ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are going to have Wild Card places as such , why not make some thing interesting about it. Let fans vote for it , pick between a few riders and have an on line vote , or let fans pick the most entertaining rider across the season or the most entertaining rider from the other Super 7 events.

Pinny 2,536 Posted August 26, 2010 It should be the top rider from each club followed by the two highest second averaged riders, rightly so. Although to be honest, I think to make this meeting more of a specticle, they could have the top two riders from each club and figure out a format for a 28 rider line up (gotta be one?). Regarding Ashworth, he shouldnt be included in this years event unless he qualifys but the slagging off of him aint fair. He won the meeting on the day fair and square, thats all that matters.

Bandits4eva 998 Posted August 26, 2010 This was quite entertaining wjm, surprised you didn't remember it...there again, it wasn't Paul Clews 2008 PLRC heat 16 Don't think wjm was at that meeting actually darling.. Adrian can be gate and go but when he needs to be, as seen in the clip supplied by my lovely other half, he can be a hard t**t I fully expect the same again this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
