Elrc Coventry

I was pretty much spot on almost although didn't expect Iversen to ride.

 

The funny thing is I don't think some of those riders actually qualified for the Premier League Riders Championship because there averages were too low.

 

What does that say about British Speedway?

To be fair, some of these are only in as the riders above them in the averages pulled out.

Newman is the lowest rider in Poole's averages but 5 before him must have pulled out or didn't want to ride.

 

Wolves and King's Lynn are the only teams to have their 2 highest average riders.

 

It's still a competitive line up though.

[Bagpuss 10,784]

Christ, that must be the poorest ELRC line up ever, and that's without the inevitable withdrawals.

May aswell call it the PLRC with a few elite league guests and £20 quid??? No thanks, rather go to the dogs as planned and lose money there.

10 of the 16 riders don't ride in the PL. The line up is much better than the PLRC

[WembleyLion 413]

Eight PL riders at the moment - will the number increase by Saturday?

[Panthers89 1,922]

Nick Morris (Swindon) - premier league standard

Chris Harris (Coventry)

Niels-Kristian Iversen (King's Lynn)

Chris Holder (Poole)

Scott Nicholls (Belle Vue)

Kyle Newman (Poole) - premier league

Craig Cook (Belle Vue) - premier league

Sam Masters (Wolverhampton) - premier league

Danny King (Coventry) - premier league

Kim Nilsson (Lakeside)

Patrick Hougaard (Leicester) - could ride in premier league

Edward Kennett (Lakeside) - premier league

Rohan Tungate (Swindon) - premier league

Robert Lambert (King's Lynn) - premier league

Freddie Lindgren (Wolverhampton)

Paul Starke (Leicester) - premier league

 

So as I said PLRC with a few elite league riders. I doubt very much the 6 elite league riders will make it to Saturday.

Very poor line up for a ELRC, before he pulls out can`t we just give the title to NKI and be done with it, then at least Kennett and Lambert will be able to turn out for their respective PL clubs in a KOC Semi Final meeting, which I would argue is a bit more significant than this meeting.

Going on past experience most will pull out but the public will not be aware of whom until they arrive at the Stadium .

On past experience the Lynn reps have done great at the ELRC lately

As we all know pretty much all the BPL number ones are heat leaders in the BEL, these two positions mean they are very good riders. Not sure about Tungate but he has certainly proved a match winner in the EL this season ....

I think you're being a bit unfair as there are some riders in your list that you can't really class as Premier League when they actually ride in the Elite League too ~ like Danny King, Craig Cook, Kyle Newman, Sam Masters, Rohan Tungate, Robert Lambert etc., but I get your point about how many top riders are missing from the line up. Be interesting to see if Chris Holder turns up or gets a sudden bout of 24 hour flu.

[Joe Beevers 207]

Mind you, we are all complaining about the line up yet it's still far stronger than the British Final.

 

Again what does that say for British speedway.

 

Got to fancy Holder, Iversen and Lindgren here with Harris or even King as a spoiler.

 

Anyone else would be a suprise tbh.

Poole are good for British Speedway we're told. As they send their number 7 to represent them in the ELRC

You going?

they are also sending their No1. Andersen would have ridden if fit. At least Newman will have a right go in every race and is good to watch.

I will be gobsmacked if Holder rides.
