If I  ever start singing sweet caroline, I hope they take me away in Ambulance.

And it was a drawn heat anyway . If they have to persist with this ridiculous extra heat at least they should keep going until they have a heat advantage. Can't understand why the thought of a drawn meeting is such an horrific outcome.   

Yeah Belle Vue have passed the transfer cut-off date now. They were never gonna find a better RS than Mulford, but I did wonder how long they would give Zischke? On one hand I admire them for giving him time & not dropping him, but on the other hand think "you dropped Mountain last year, when he didn't do any worse" Mark Lemon favouring Aussies maybe? Although if you go by Champ from Zischke had improved for Workington, but not happening for Belle Vue (so far).

Loved the passion and excitement in Tatums voice....also thought Nicholls interview with Doyle right at the end was first class, only possible where riders are interviewed by riders or ex riders. One disappointment was when Thompson won heat six beating Kurtz from behind, no pit interview with him yet an interview with someone else, think it was Cook.

That happened from 94-96, when they went from the one big league back to 2 divisions, they dropped back to 15 heat matches.

I don't see the need for a superheat. If it's a draw, it's a draw. Not convinced you should have one for the bonus point either as that typically favours the home team. What I would do is make matches 16 heats and have 2 nominated heats, where you have to use 4 different riders. Would benefit teams who aren't quite so top heavy and give us all an extra heat. Would need some thought as to which team names riders first and 7 ride max for a rider, not include heat 15/16
