Roger Jacobs 554 Posted November 2, 2022 From Mildenhall Speedway "We head towards Friday evenings NDL Play Off Final with a very patched up side. With Ryan, James, Sam, Jack and Alex all missing we now add Josh who is having a pre op this week (we send Josh our very best wishes) and young Luke Harrison who is away. Under current rules we will line up as follows: 1. Jason Edwards 2. RR 3. Unattached 3 pointer 4. Unattached 3 pointer 5. Guest 6. Unattached 3 pointer 7. Luke Muff 8. Unattached 3 pointer We are working hard to find a guest from the clubs available to us and will inform you of the team once we sort it." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really feel for Mildenhall and the public over the ridiculous situation they've been put in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laker & Fellows take 3 rides together so will be scrapping over a point, Woolley & Boughen take 2 rides together. At least sticking Wooley at 3 and Laker at 5 would have spread the points chances a bit and reduce it from being an embarrassment to a shambles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berwick and Oxford had to run r/r for the rider second in their averages also. If your team is built the wrong way (good top 2 or 3) then this seriously weakens you (ok if you have strength in depth team). Won't bother with the stream.

As the NDL rules force the use of RR and multiple 3 point riders in circumstances such as this there can't be a minimum team points total. The six riders programmed have a combined average of 30.62, which I expect exceeds the seven-man total of the infamous S****horpe team of a few years ago. I'm surprised to see Boughen in the line-up as this meeting will give him an MA I believe. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s not much hope for the sport if it continues in this manner.Fag packet stuff and rules that change every season( in some cases weekly). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
