Racing elsewhere so far has been poor this season. The problem is how to fill up the relatively empty spaces on the terraces, wherever the match is broadcast from. You do what they done at Murreyfield for some football matches,produce and hang huge banners which photos of spectators making it look like a crowd 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted June 25, 2018 We used the No.8 in the last home match at King's Lynn and while it was a good experience for him he was hopelessly outclassed, but in the event of a fall or an engine failure, he was a backstop. The No.8's I remembered from long ago were likely to be ready to step up into a team place and be at least on the pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't see as it make's the tiniest bit of difference to any new viewer of the sport. Could just stick a junior in each to trail round nearly half a lap behind. Never ever understand the argument against RR. Guests, I can see. RR, nope. It's riders from your own team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 1,497 Posted June 25, 2018 James Sarjeant There must be an alternative for Leicester. Two bikes don't work and lets his team down badly. Will he go through the tapes on his 3rd ride ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk127 1,359 Posted June 25, 2018 This really is a poor public display and when you listen to the line up,with guests etc. This is one reason why supporters are drifting away. The sport is a joke. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

40-38 308 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Surely Sarjeant has to go now and how the hell did Masters get away with that? It was blatant! Edited June 25, 2018 by 40-38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
