With 3 meetings to run in July it would be silly to use R/R. It does nobody any favours. It prolongs the meeting when allowing a rider extra time between races, it puts extra pressure on riders doing extra rides, if another rider in the team has a fall , then the team are up the creek without a paddle. At a time when the sport needs every help it can get, what you don't want is fans waiting around doing the extended breaks and the same riders in many races. R/R is a major put-off. I'm sure it wouldn't be a permanent thing but you're right, R/R is undesirable for several reasons. Ostergaard and Garrity have been mentioned and I think I'd take either of those.

semion 2,192 Posted July 13, 2018 Nothing wrong with R/R. Didn’t White City win the League back in the day whilst running R/R all season. Can’t remember the missing riders name but I seem to recall he didn’t make one appearance for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted July 13, 2018 With three home fixtures coming up within a week at the AFA, is there any discount scheme planned to entice supporters to all three? Or are we supposed to have saved up the money while there were no fixtures arranged? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TooMuchGrip 7 Posted July 13, 2018 Will Huckenbeck or Porsing be in the Stars management's thought's as a replacement for Lewi Kerr? Must be a good chance of one of those returning for another spell I would think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
