[Hunty 189]

Cardiff wildcard now reverted back to highest placed rider in the British Final apart from the GP boys.

Wow, who came up with that idea!

Not surprising now that BSI have got Woffy and Bomber in by right - what else are they going to do? Offer it to the best performing EL Brit reserve during March/April/May???

Chris Harris.......

 

He's in the GP?

irony.

Seems the right time to bring it back now as Chris Harris has been sorted.This particular carrot brought something extra to the British final and should never have been taken away at the whim of BSI.

What odds they change it again in 2015.

He doesnt need the pick! Seriously though im not fussed either way how they decide the wildcard, they would get my support whoever it was.

Oh good, simple really..

I think the press release got chopped off. The last bit presumably said.

 

"This is a one-off change for 2014 only. In 2015 the wild card will one again be given to Chris Harris selected by BSI"

irony.

 

It's a real whoosh for me if it was irony.

 

Maybe they've done it for Scott Nicholls

why not add an automatic world cup pick as well.........

Whilst we all know that who ever is the best on the night will get a wild card for Cardiff (excluding Tai Bomber) do we not now think the British Championship should change format a bit.

What ever ! it seems a norm, that Wolves gets the meeting some may say good n

but there are riders that just dont get along at Wolverhampton so is it fair that it is a one night wonder.

Why not do as the Aussies do it, over one week and have three meetings for the final.

Monday Wolves,Wednesday Kings Lynn, Friday or Saturday Coventry,all good Stadiums with a capacity for spectators and all based on a points system and winner takes all.

This way we are covered for weather (Rain offs), Riders get a chance to bounce back after a bad evening some where and or 1 engine failure. The fans get a chance to see more racing with a meaning.

Outcome a more Representable Championship, and yes the winner also gets a Team GB call up.

 

A good common sence idea but will BSPA agree.

That'll give Rory Schlein a better chance of winning it!!!

Would like to see a change to a few meetings if they can find the time, also this would enable them to have to meetings spread around the country which would probably get more fans attending.
