New Year Classic - Newport

Why only 12 names instead of 16? What a poor format.

There's always the bar at the top of the main stand!!

 

Yes indeed there is !! If my memory is good enough the stadium was packed last time

Najjer has a good point tbh, if you are going to organise a meeting like this, with a pretty strong field, why not go for a traditional 16 rider line-up, 12 rider individuals mean some riders meet twice in the heats and are a lot more predictable. Will still hope to get to this one, however would make more of an effort for a full 16 rider meeting.

You've gotta look at the bigger picture ... With fewer heats we'll be out in the cold for less time

Wouldn't be a Newport thread without a whinge from Najjer!

You know something`s right if Nagger`s having a whinge

Wonder if his acne has cleared up?

I just dont understand why newcomers get given a go in these meetings (Tarp and Westlund).

 

Neither have much pedigree and wont attract any travelling support. Even second strings from British Clubs would bring more fans in.

 

Looks a poor line up and I won't be wasting money watching that.

 

I remember Westlund riding in the 2009 welsh open and was nowhere near as good as Jonas Andersson, who posted a sub 3.5 PL average.

 

Poor show.

Becasue there are only twelve riders in it. It would be silly to name an extra four riders that aren't going to ride.

I take it that your not a fan of Team Viking then?

More than likely, unless I really am stuck for something to do that day.

That's a good arguement, well thought out. There's 12 riders, because there is. Thanks for that.

The NYC has been a twelve rider competition more often than not.
