  1. For me, For No1. All the riders can take as many of his rides as the Manager wants. With every rider not allowed to take more than 7 in total. That would mean both HL's could (if the manager wanted), take all the missing riders rides and also do Ht 15.. For riders HL's 3 and 5. The other HL who is available takes two, (leaving him available for H15), and SS's/Reserves takes the other two depending on who the Manager chooses.. For missing SS's 2 and 4. The other SS takes three and one of the reserves takes one. (Or the manager may decide to give the reserves all the rides if they are performing well).. For 6. The SS above takes two and the seven takes two. (Most teams will swap SS and No6's through the season as they are pretty close average wise at most tracks, so no major advantage, and if there is, you most likely lose it with an RS at No7).. For 7 missing. The No6 takes two and a No8 takes two.. (Again, you may gain with the No6, but also lose out at No8).. Plenty of extra rides for the riders which is what so many want, (and is really it appears a purpose of UK Speedway), and a credible offering to the public.. But what if another rider got injured? Then some IRR would need adapting like now. Bottom line is 7 man teams could all get injured on the same night given the dangerous nature of what takes place so you cannot plan for every eventuality... At least every meeting would start with that teams contracted riders, not adhoc ringers..
  2. Just been on the website... Wow.. Never seen as much "Red" showing on the day of the match ever I would think.. Even AB has about 75% availability. Hopefully the South Stand is rammed as the parking there is full, and they get a good "walk up" crowd for the main stand... I know my business drops money nowadays on the week/weekend before pay day as people tighten their belts and tend to then "splash out a bit" when they get paid on the 1st.. Maybe Speedway one week out from pay day is something that will be sacrificed by a fair few?
  3. But a fit for purpose R/R facility.. Shouldnt have to potentially use both second strings to take a No1's ride..
  4. But looking at Dan's performances, Wroclaw will encourage him to keep getting (well) paid practice over here..
  5. Just launch another team within the location.. . If no Panthers exist then no 'x' mileage rule.. What about the Peterborough Pirates? We have two Tigers so why not have two Pirates? Or the Penguins? Pilchards? Pandas? Parrots? Pigs? Monkey Tennis..?
  6. Isnt it a stadium with over 20,000 seats? I would think at least 10,000 there... Which is probably double what all meetings added together in the UK top league will get this week...
  7. Go on Dan!!!! Meeting over and racing like this.... Brilliant.... Just Brilliant....
  8. Great to see three GB riders riding at such a high level and very comfortably to... When Woffy it could be argued is No3, that is a seriously high standard of rider this country has.. We just need at least one more...
  9. As it stands now... But, in a sport with such injury risk, and no ridiculous guest system, you never know what may happen.. Should be two great matches between those teams though...
  10. Heats 13, 14 and 15 in Poland are truly at another level.... Brilliant to watch...
  11. Shows the strength in depth of Wroclaw though doesnt it? Polish Speedway on a Sunday...
  12. Even more so when his best mate hit a fence in a similar position and ended up in a wheelchair.. Being block passed is one thing as you get ridden up the track being able to see the front wheel of the rider doing it.. Being speared is another..
  13. Good meeting... Fricke must pick his game up and quick.. 15 max for Kolodziej... Almost as fast as Bartek....!!
  14. Should be a straight red for Smektala... Holder very fortunate to not be very seriously hurt...
  15. Kolodziej again... From the back again... Great entertainment, and on a max..
  16. Good meeting this.. Grudziadz one of the more technical tracks and always offers up decent racing.. Surprising Nicki can handle it..
  17. 15 heat winners... Fourteen 3-3's... And a 4-2 in Ht 15....
