g13webb 4,254 Posted November 18, 2015 King has to be a heat leader or it makes a mockery of having a heat leader list. Having a Heat leader list is a mockery. How can anyone name 24 riders as heatleaders before any one has been signed.? What happens when a rider, not on the list (foreign ex.) signs for a team. ? does that mean the list is altered ? What happens to someone on the list who cant get a place as a heat leader? ... Do we tell him to sod-off ? Why did we ditch the 7 point plan? I know the CMA are laughable but everyone knew the rules and Team Managers could work around them. This way, the heatleader list could change every day, and teams already on the boil could prove too have too many Heat leaders. The secrecy of the list highlights what is so desperately wrong with our sport. Making complicated secret rules, just shows contempt to those remaining fans there are left. . 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Game On 1,117 Posted November 18, 2015 Neil, is King on the heatleader list or will he be a second string? You won't get an answer on that one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Jones 2,127 Posted November 18, 2015 You won't get an answer on that one. I hope the goalposts are the type that are on wheels, because I bet they are being moved all over the place right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen chemistry 660 Posted November 18, 2015 theres very few riders in this league you can actually rely on for automatic points..kk without the gp, may just be the kick up the backside, its only one season since he was flying high the'kick up the backside' as you call it would of been last season when he reportedly lost his team place in his polish team , add to that his very bad points scored in the gp but both of these had no effect ....he was poor all season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However the promotions know the list so they at least we assume know what they are doing. But the secrecy of the list is baffling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen chemistry 660 Posted November 18, 2015 obvious clause from poole to the other promoters to keep it in house so us fans dont get the knowledge that poole decided the rules :icon_smile_clown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted November 18, 2015 A rider not mentioned by any EL teams fans as far as I can tell. Simon Stead? Not my idea of a great signing but there worse signings could be made too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted November 18, 2015 Coventry pick average riders every year and then wonder why they always get humped by Poole... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon 134 Posted November 18, 2015 I'd forgot on about Steady too. Assuming he is riding following a long lay off I'd have thought BV would have been his choice? Any ideas on his average? Surely not in the heat leader list lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
