Sheffield to Lynn on a good day is two hours, cant see it ever taking four. Obviously the other side of Norfolk is a different story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think where he lives has any bearing on where he goes,after all riders come from everywhere. I spoke to Picko's mechanic last night, and he said that Josh is riding in Poland this weekend, he said if it goes ok he'll be back. I took it as at Lynn, but who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets hope so. I'd be surprised if MPT will be riding on Monday. RR should cover, if it comes to it, with everyone able to take one of his rides.

Lots of 'traditionalist" not huge fans of the superheat yet when Ipswich won against peterborough last season it got a massive roar and everyone seemed right up for it.

A dramatic race which ended with the home fans going wild. On another social channel, someone said you would have thought we had just won the league. Tradition is important but so is innovation. Promoters have got it right with super heat. There was real tension as race evolved and everyone was talking about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is a great idea, which shows innovation and fan focused improvements to the sport, every meeting going forward has to have a winner which brings huge excitement.. Unless of course, you lose it.. Then it is a contrived crap idea and they haven't a clue on how to run things. What is bloody wrong with a draw anyway?.. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or in an hypothetical scenario A v B - A fixture meeting is drawn so a super heat, Team A win B v A - B fixture meeting is drawn so a super heat, Team A Win But they are tied for the aggregate bonus....so is there Super heat also?? Which say Team B win? So Team A wins both matches but loses the aggregate bonus point Brilliant innovation????
