Midland Red 2,383 Posted September 5, 2022 Should be one rider from each team. Can’t get this 2nd and 3rd can be winners 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t get this 2nd and 3rd can be winners You could, but that would always benefit teams like us who have far and away the best rider in the league. At least by packing in second and third it’s more a team effort to get the points. That was a cracking superheat that created the drama that it was brought in for. I accept it’s going to always split opinion and I respect others opinion’s who don’t like it. But personally I hope it’s here to stay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeneralMelchett 482 Posted September 5, 2022 16 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: Totally disagree. The “superheat” at Foxhall earlier in the season generated the best atmosphere I’ve experienced for many many years and is my lasting memory of this entire season. Random people were high fiving complete strangers. You didn’t get that kind of emotion when securing a draw do you? Plenty have liked your post so maybe I’m in the minority but there’s a lot of traditionalists out there that just don’t like change. Agree it was the best atmosphere I can remember at Foxhall in a long time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve been strong at top and tail, but inconsistent in the middle. But currently I agree with you, Rowe and an unfit/struggling Starke isn’t going to cut it in the play offs against Belle Vue especially. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starke is usually a trump card at reserve and normally scores very well there. He’s carrying a shoulder injury and is clearly struggling. Hume is a massive miss also. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This bulls*it statement that it makes it interesting for tv viewers is absolute crap. Majority of people watching are speedway fans not some average Joe channel hopping and all of sudden that into it they don’t wanna see a drawn meeting. It’s so unnecessary and actually embarrassing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,781 Posted September 5, 2022 Enjoyed that. Some good racing and ding dong scoring. Not a fan of the Superheat personally but it was a decent race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the main body he’s often found wanting, but at reserve he often piles in the points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
