Islander15 1,065 Posted August 10, 2017 Where are Andrews & Walker? That's a massive miss for the Devils as their points at the SBA are irreplaceable on those averages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iand 133 Posted August 10, 2017 Andrews has a funeral to attend. Walker European Grass Track commitment,no facility allowed. Brum must now be firm favourites for an away win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesM09 31 Posted August 10, 2017 Benji Compton and Henry Atkins can take an RR each so its not a complete disaster for the Devils Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianbuck 928 Posted August 10, 2017 As both teams are using rider-replacement for riders on a fairly similar average, why could they not agree to each promote a second-halfer rather than submit supporters to the inevitable delays which occur when rider-replacement is used by both sides? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted August 10, 2017 Benji Compton and Henry Atkins can take an RR each so its not a complete disaster for the Devils It means 7 rides for Bowen though when he could've taken 3 and Walker 5. It puts a lot of pressure on the top 4 against a team with a decent top 3! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Match already called off, on Devils forum. Perhaps we can make it on a day Mason is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummiestormer 172 Posted August 12, 2017 I actually travelled down for the last call off...the track was like a paddy field with constant light rain...yet Mr Rogers was insistent when we got there the meet could of gone ahead after the rain had stopped which it had done by then......so it beggars the question why so early to call off this time......a weakened side maybe.....oh well self preservation i suppose! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rain from 7pm in Plymouth so no question that the correct decision was made. Would have missed my 2nd match of the season but had to go to Falmouth Regatta instead. Evenings Fireworks were cancelled at Falmouth due to the rain as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
