Dekker 239 Posted November 18, 2012 seems a lot of common sense this time, which is unusual, no silly comps and a donation to the aussie scholarship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillipsr 2,057 Posted November 18, 2012 Personally would prefer Bridger over Allen but both genuine number ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted November 19, 2012 I don't think Bridger likes the Rye track too much and as an Eastbourne rider why would he double up with a saturday track?... Personally wouldn't want him in the team. Kennett would be my choice, Olly Allen would also do a very good job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ash 22 Posted November 19, 2012 Is Nick Morris really the out and out number 1 that's going to score double points at every track home and away as described by Len in the Mercury? Arguably he's also the spectacular rider that Len isn't looking for. Oliver Allen however does fit that description, and if Twitter hints are anything to go by I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the team nor would I be disappointed with his inclusion! He dominated the Premier League a few years back with King's Lynn and I'd say his only downfall is the amount of injuries he seems to pick up. Oliver Allen, Anders Mellgren, Tyson Nelson, Jason Bunyan, Jason Garrity, Simon Lambert and Kasper Lykke? Certainly has the potential to do well IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The more I think about it, I don't think you will be far off with the above team. Gives Len a bit of wriggle room with SL in the team to replace with Luke if he is not doing so well, later in the season. If Ollie can stay fit then he can certainly match most of the other number 1's in the PL and as Ash say's he meets the criteria set out in Lens description recently. Taken from BSPA site, Len stated. "Both John Sampford and myself ignored actual points averages and have put together the seven riders best able to bring potential success for the club" In other words, Lisa or Hazel nicked the calculator and we couldn't do the addings up between us, so we chose a team that is about 10 points under the max allowed Edited November 19, 2012 by bolly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
