SCB 0 Posted August 9, 2014 He was scoring near that in the EL. Should be a top heat leader in PL. I guess technically 4.59 is "near" 6 in the scheme of things. But when you consider he'd average 4.00 just by beating the draft riders, 4.59 is nothing to get too excited about. It suggests thats he rarely beat the second strings in the oppositions teams and then riders are the heatleaders in the PL. So as pointed out, he'll do well to get 6. Lets not forget Proctor only got slightly more than 6 and he's been averaging slightly more in the EL - and that included a spell as a heatleader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,370 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Well I suppose we will just have to wait and see what happens won't we!Think he will prove a lot of doubters wrong ,one thing for sure he will entertain on what I have seen of him in action and that's what you pay to see.

Lets not forget Proctor only got slightly more than 6 and he's been averaging slightly more in the EL - and that included a spell as a heatleader. I think he's a good signing and will do better than that. That's partly based upon his excellent performance against Belle Vue in Birmingham's final match; there aren't many who pass Cook at Kirky Lane but he did it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northyorksbear 610 Posted August 12, 2014 Well Done to Sheffield on their offer to Birmingham Season Ticket holders, something some other tracks could look at doing to give a little encouragement to Brummies fans who have suffered an horrendous season. Full Marks to the promotion 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Duppcomic 100 Posted August 12, 2014 There's a couple of tracks doing this. Good call. As for Argentinian Champions and second placers, didn't Lee Complin and Kyle Legault compete in the Argentinian Championships too? I think they did quite well and finished first and second. Not sure which way round though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
