  1. Why isn't Adam Skornicki in as well seeing he is on a British licence too?
  2. A pass anywhere is a pass. Some are too pedantic to say it only counts on the outside. It doesn't.
  3. WHAT A DIFFERENCE 2 CHANGES MAKE!! Well that was all a little too easy. On paper had all the hallmarks of an absolute classic. Track was good again and grippy with some fast times early on although a wet and patchy part on the first bend caught a few out early on, particularly Rory who skated across it and couldn't turn. The racing was a mixed bunch with some thrilling battles coupled with strung out heats with the Rockets mostly outclassed. Were the Rockets a bit poor or the Wolves that much better? I'd go with the latter. All of the usual Monmore suspects had their moments but in truth got out ridden by a better Wolves team. Some of the close racing was top notch with heat 15 being a 4 way battle throughout whilst heat 13 was sublime mostly due to the outstanding skill of fast Freddie. Surprised the crowd wasn't bigger but the freezing Arctic wind and weather probably cost a few attendees. Hopefully the B fixture will be the classic it promises. In other news ....assuming the comments in tonight programme are referring to the Riss for Clegg change "The club are close to a further team switch, but things are not advanced enough for any announcement in that regard prior to the print deadline for this programme". Clegg was still listed in the Wolves team. The only confusion with that wasn't the 2 rider switch confirmed at the same time? So maybe another change ??? The changes are clear for anyone to see - Wolves are a force. WOLVES FREDDIE - pure class. An absolute pleasure watching a rider at the top of his game. His partnership with Howarth is a huge strength. His team riding second to none and even when behind a huge threat for victory. 5/5 KYLE - 3 excellent victories with Freddie including a bring the house down ride in heat 10. Heat 8 got out ridden by Robson. 3.5/5 RORY - an 8 point debut is more than satisfactory. Can ride Monmore well as proved tonight. 3.5/5 JACOB - not quite the usual home force and wimped out on a couple of occasions. 2.5/5 SAM - three classy wins including having to work for those 3's. Top scorer and well earned it. 4/5 MARK - I was hoping for more points than Clegg but couldn't have dreamed of such a battler. Beat Kennett (although I would have tonight) and then outfoxed Wells in the 14th. What a debut. 3.3/5 MOTM Nathan - more than did his job in heats 2 and 4, a good race win in the 2nd too. 2.5/5 RYE Kennett - pathetic just doesn't cut it. Never looked like scoring. Never thought I'd see a worse number one at Monmore than KK so step forward Ed. 0/5 Robbo - always a pleasure to watch Robbo at the Green. Besides heat 1 quality and 110% 4/5 Harris - looked painfully slow until his last 2 heats where he looked much quicker. 2/5 Wells - a game of 2 halves for Ricky. Superb in the first 2 even tho he got out battled by Masters and then largely disappeared despite being on the pace. 3/5 Nicholls - heat 4 apart Scott was mostly owned by wolves riders. 2.5/5 Clegg - nothing changes. Beat no one. 0.5/5 Perks - got owned by Greaves initially then had the flyer of all flyers in heat 8 but rode a great race to deny Howarth.2/5 Updates may be wrong as wrong colours given for Rye riders. Robson won heat 15 with Harris 3rd.
  4. It's got 'a cracker of a meeting' all over it. I'm finding it hard to call it but will however with 48-42.
  5. A well earned point in the end for Poole. Convincing win for the Rockets tho.
  6. It's like comparing Robert Lambert and Josh Bailey. Don't get the comparison personally. As for Max, i don't necessarily disagree with you.
  7. Hadn't noticed Max's score but that's good news for the lad.
  8. It doesn't take a genius to work out that the BSPA apply the rules as they see fit too! Of course you are correct, that's exactly what should be happening and I fully expect that to be the case.
  9. The key bit you underlined isn't in the rulebook so it's now down to common sense. Edinburgh SHOULD have priority but not according to the rules.
  10. Good to see Mark Riss top scoring with 12 points for Edinburgh tonight.
  11. Yet again the Lions proving themselves to be the dark horses I predicted. Well done to the Lions for a well earned point.
  12. Both teams fixtures are at present 'original fixtures'. then point 4 would become relevant. However as you indicate common sense has prevailed if the reply you received is adhered to.
  13. Even Middlo knows he should have been there. Which makes the facility they received a farce.
  14. What's exciting to one person may be different to another. Same as what one classes a definition of a good race, all this from someone who wasn't even there. I couldn't care less whose version you believe. You weren't there so your opinion isn't even relevant. Nothing else to add as far as I'm concerned.
  15. I'm surprised no top flight team came in for him this season.
  16. I'd be surprised he made it thru nursery.
  17. The usual abusive response. You are the one with multiple accounts as we all know drop the cog. In case you missed it I started the thread. nothing changes.
  18. Why feel the need to pick fault at those providing updates? Typical flange doing his best to put others down. You made a comments about the updates, I gave you some flavour as the person providing them. Very little to argue about. I find it quite tedious that some like to moan (so not just referring to you) about the lack of information on updates and give little respect to those that provide them. Just an observation that's all. Nothing more.
  19. Clearly they are. We are still waiting!!
  20. Great to see common sense over rides the rules. Just a shame that they don't include that in the rules, would make perfect sense, right?
  21. Try reading other updates when no information is given other than heat results. I was probably enjoying the meeting too much to post reams of information. Some should be grateful there are any at all. Like I say if you feel it's easy to document everything in an update feel free to have a go. Plenty of passing to make it a decent meeting.
  22. There aren't an abundance of suppliers no. We are currently waiting shale from the Leicester quarry as they have had huge problems with it being to wet to mix. Clearly it's taking time to get the shale in ridable state.
