DAVEK 66 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Leigh's average for the season unfortunately tells the story. And certainly a no-no on the Hall front from me Edited October 7, 2014 by DAVEK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Friddy75 31 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Lanham, not in a million years, you must have a short memory if you've forgotten how poor he was all the way through the season. So who would you suggest as a strong reserve to partner Bates? Edited October 7, 2014 by Friddy75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted October 7, 2014 On that average certainly would not rule out Big Leigh for next season, but for me it would have to;be at reserve. A run at reserve could just be what the doctor ordered for Big Leigh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorkshiretyke 59 Posted October 8, 2014 Think the following team would be great to watch and hard to beat at home. If it fits... Stead Compton Wolbert / Bellego Poole Proctor Roynon / Covatti Bates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king 1,923 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Not even considered Adam Roynon, but looking at his finishing average he is a steal. Not sure how he would feel about coming back after been dropped this season, but for me if we can get him at reserve he would fly. Team for me Stead Birks Wolbert Poole Proctor Roynon Bates Comes in at 42.46. Edited October 8, 2014 by spin king 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted October 8, 2014 Latest Green Sheet averages from 01/10/2014. S.Stead 9.96 T.Poole 6.05 A.Compton 5.59 B.Wilson 5.03 L.Lanham 4.96 N.Covatti 4.21 J.Bates 3.53 T.Proctor 6.27 Can see Nico being popular for 2015 line-ups, as long as he stops using Alfie Flowers engines in the UK. Not even considered Adam Roynon, but looking at his finishing average he is a steal. Not sure how he would feel about coming back after been dropped this season, but for me if we can get him at reserve he would fly. Team for me Stead Birks Wolbert Poole Proctor Roynon Bates Comes in at 42.46. Got to be Bellego, surely ? That performance the other week for Berwick was amazing and the most impressive I have seen from an away rider all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king 1,923 Posted October 8, 2014 Got to be Bellego, surely ? That performance the other week for Berwick was amazing and the most impressive I have seen from an away rider all season. Exciting and flamboyant to watch. Thanks but no thanks. Has an away average last season of 5.44 without bonus points. Take put his two Sheffield performances it then drops to 4.70. What can't speak can't lie. He is a Richard Hall with an exotic surname. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take put his two Sheffield performances it then drops to 4.70. What can't speak can't lie. He is a Richard Hall with an exotic surname. According to the Scunny website, Ash Birks away average is 5.18 including bonus points. I think Sheffield need to build a side next season that makes winning at home a priority. He wasn't just exciting to watch that night (and, to be fair it was only one night) he was simply brilliant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandits4eva 1,002 Posted October 9, 2014 Both meetings this season at Sheffield he was superb, its those other performance at other away tracks that puts me off. His meetings at the smaller tracks will have had a big effect on his average. .. Edinburgh, Newcastle, Rye House... like most of our team, he was better off not turning up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted October 9, 2014 His meetings at the smaller tracks will have had a big effect on his average. .. Edinburgh, Newcastle, Rye House... like most of our team, he was better off not turning up Add Plymouth and Ipswich to the list as well. To be fair David Bellego has a wicked riding style which suits the Sheffield track, reminds me so much of Richard Hall who equally is exciting and enjoyable around Sheffield. But like Richard there is question marks when he goes to the smaller tracks. Halifax is correct when he says that the main aim for Sheffield to get back to Fortress Owlerton and win home meetings, but I think there are other riders out there who maybe ride Sheffield well but offer more when we go on our travels.
