It has been proposed before, by myself and others, that the riders in Heat 15 would not be eligible for a Super Heat. That would negate a 2 x Big Guns team's advantage.

I think it's just a payday for most of the riders, sadly

To an extent, they never have.       Did Johnnie Hoskins' teams win all the time?   Not at all, but they always pulled in big crowds, intent on enjoying the whole entertainment package. Where speedway has gone awry is preventing clubs from putting on extra fun'n'games (partly to do with H&S) -- and riders unwilling to participate in them

Maybe the FA could adopt it? Add a bit of spice to the coin toss for ends 😀

First and last visit to Perry Barr last night! As a Somerset and now a Plymouth fan I saw my best meeting of the season so far at the Coliseum on Saturday and possibly the worst one last night! Gate and go by Sheffield for easy easy win but Birmingham just couldn't make a start. Track was awful, was stood between start gate and first bend in front of the grandstand and it was like Motocross bumping into bend one. Quite amazed only Jeppesen fell! I can imagine the Barker nomination in heat 15 was that he was up for it when others weren't. You always get max effort from Ben but it certainly wasn't a surface that he thrives on! My son said when are they using a tac sub but in honesty it wouldn't have made any difference. Probably the easiest max Jack has ever scored and probably same goes for Leon too. Picko was good value as always and managed one of the only passes of the night around the outside. Finally the guy on the centre green, how quicky did he want to announce the riders on parade and why bother talking over the final lap of a race????  

yes he was gifted a point when Jeppesen fell in his first ride where he moved at the start then missed it (and had a warning from the ref after the heat) but after that he was in the mix every race. Another couple of meetings and he is going to make a lot of doubter's eat there words.
