Speedwaycrazy 71 Posted November 29, 2017 I can't help thinking there is no difference in standard between the two divisions! Nick Morris at No1 for Swindon...and No1 for Lakeside...and the comparisons go on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted November 29, 2017 Reserves are the main difference, It's closer than it's ever been but there is still a fairly significant gap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenR195 113 Posted November 29, 2017 I can't help thinking there is no difference in standard between the two divisions! Nick Morris at No1 for Swindon...and No1 for Lakeside...and the comparisons go on! Lawson was number 1 at Glasgow and Swindon last year,Cook was number 1 at Workington and was .03 to being number 1 at Belle Vue so its nothing new, the weird one for me is chris Harris, was number 1 at rye house in top league but couldnt keep the number 1 spot for Peterborough and lost it to Jack Holder who had a lower average than him in the top league, as said above though differences in the leagues are the reserves, there are 6/7 pointers in the championship that are reserves in the top league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenR195 113 Posted November 29, 2017 Lawson rarely rode at number 1 for Glasgow and rode for Somerset, not Swindon - finishing 3rd in their averages.Yeah I meant Somerset, and he was still a number 1 during the season which is my point but yeah Josh Grajczonek another rider number 1 at both teams aswell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted November 29, 2017 Generally a difference of about 10 points, like Sheffield v Leicester, but with careful selection you could put together a team that would be closer, starting with Nick Morris at number 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DunRobin 465 Posted November 29, 2017 The promotion play off last season seems to suggest otherwise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted November 29, 2017 Difficult to judge with Sheffield missing their top two and Bates carrying an injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted November 30, 2017 I can't help thinking there is no difference in standard between the two divisions! Nick Morris at No1 for Swindon...and No1 for Lakeside...and the comparisons go on! There is very little difference between the standards of the PL and the CH - expect for a very few individual riders. But it's just an "entertainment" - a series of one off events and not a professional sport, so it hardly matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
