As you can see,,, it's entertainment v winning. 

Heeps is one of the only riders that can sometimes make passes at Foxhall, but has he got another improvement in him? Not sure, sometimes I think yes, sometimes no.

He is worth another season at least. He does seem to have tailed off a bit as season progressed but entertainment is better for maybe getting crowds..?

It's not all about average improves no but it is about average decreases too

 

If witches had 3 x chris Harris' this season they would have suffered 

Harris is irrelevant. He’s been a massive disappointment entertainment wise. 
 

My point is about Heeps. I maybe repeating myself, but every time I’ve got off my backside at Foxhall this season to applaud, it’s been because of Cameron Heeps. 
 

I genuinely couldn’t care less if his average decreases slightly, he’s still make my team because I love watching him. 
 

I want the team to be successful too of course I do, so look for some improvers elsewhere. I don’t think Heeps is done improving yet either, there’s more to come from him IMO.

Even with heeps the entertainment are foxhall isn't great I would say the crowds will stay large or improve based on winning rather than on track entertainment. 

Heeps maybe worth the risk but I'd only take Allen 100% I'd let the rest go, let Danny ride Peterborough

Well take away Heeps and the entertainment would have been even less!

Hes a Foxhall specialist, knows how to race the track and provides entertainment. 

Sorry but I’d never understand anyone who attends the meetings not wanting him to return. 
 

Any side wanting to make the top 4 also need to make sure they lose very little if any, at home. That’s another reason to include him.

Adam Ellis is still improving, another I would consider. 

He wasn't too complimentary about the track when interviewed on Tuesday thou.

I agree. Only Allen and Heeps for me, King is past his best, but can't see Hawkins staying without his best mate.

Only Allen for me we need some fresh faces and some gaters mixed in with the racers. If Poole are dropping down Josh G should be one along with one of who Swindon release except Batchelor.

Totally agree people are obsessed with changing riders just for the sake of it also as a fan the entertainment factor has to come into it and Heeps does excite at Foxhall.Yes have some new faces but you have to keep some riders who the fans can relate to otherwise it is just changes galore every season.At Swindon we have some tough decisions to make but i would like to think we will keep at least four of the title winning side for the 2020 season.

Think witches would be daft if not looking at bringing back some riders fans can relate to

Covatti and Schlein must be on the radar

Allen must be first on the list

Nicholls as a potential reserve?

All riders fans can relate to then throw in a Cook and an upcoming no.7

 

Fans will soon "relate" to a winning side

I think Allen and Heeps have to be retained.

You will get the usual gobs on here talking about Cam away in the final but he is dynamite at home and thats all important.

I think King will be back but out of the 2 around similar average would rather have Lawson but rather neither.

Pretty obvious that neither Harris or Sarj will be back and unlikely that Niels will be either

1. ?

2. Nicholls 5.50

3. Heeps 6.37

4. Allen 5.56

5. Klindt 7.43

6. Covatti 5.27

7. ?

Leaves 12.37 for 2 riders
