Who would you find more experienced on a 3pt average? Or a very low 3 with a redecoration.

Maybe a controversial point but for that very reason I have believed for a long time that only ex riders should be in the referees box. Purely and simply as how can a lay person replicate a racing situation if they have not been in it.

Well I've been around the flat track scene in the UK for a fair few years and clearly still know sod all! Very impressive result by Ashton Boughen, I honestly didn't believe it was possible to get to that level so quickly coming from Speedway.

Maybe but Cairns and Rushen will do me.   

I'd look at moving Rushen to No7 & find a more experienced No6 if possible 🤷‍♂️

It wasn't the first time imo, I seen Mr Barker doing it in one of his earlier races. I thought the standard of refereeing was questionable today. The heat when Tate, Nicholls and Batchelor got to the first corner together Nicholls was in the middle and looked to be getting the elbows out, Tate went down just as they were turning the corner, the ref didn't put the red lights on.  Tom Spencer then went into the airfence on turn two the ref then put the lights on. He subsequently decreed an unsatisfactory start and excluded both riders. For me a fair decision would have been all 4 back . Tate went down purely as a result of first bend bunching so to exclude both riders I thought was definitely unfair on Tate.
