  1. One thing that confuses me, so Rob Lyon wanted to use Harrison in heat 15 for his 3rd ride, so why not just use him in heat 13 instead? It would be against the same 2 Ipswich riders? Why would using Harrison in 15 be any more beneficial than in 13? Either way allows Klindt in 12 & 14! Even if the argument was to not take a ride away from Lawson in heat 13, you could just give him heat 15 instead.
  2. Berwick could make the play-offs if they strengthen up. Don't know who's available, but I don't think either of the riders you've mentioned would make the difference they need!
  3. Are there really enough tracks in Britain to turn anyone down?
  4. Great performance by Lynn. Couple more performances like that on the league & play-off fight would've been on.
  5. While everyone is entitled to an opinion, that may be the most rediculous thing I've ever read on the forum!
  6. I thought it was a well known rule, riders needing to take 3 rides in the first 14 heats (unless injured) how would the ref (& team manager) not know that rule by heart?
  7. Should McDiarmid have gotten more rides? Scored better than Palovaara & Killeen!
  8. If that was true why would Doyle & Sayfutdinov routinely miss out on heat 15 (unless the match depends on it)? Unless scoring more points earns them more than a guarantee, would it not make sense to give them more rides?
  9. Totally agree, Plymouth team looks far stronger both in the heat leader position & at reserve.
  10. I would have thought the opposite. Poole needing thier top riders to carry the scoring? Scunthorpe riding at home being the one match where you'd expect very little from away reserves?
  11. Good idea. Kurtz vs Bewley at both tracks would be awesome!
  12. The problem is, if someone commenting on the meeting says "this proves Foord is better than Starke" people are going to want to give an opinion in this, which naturally involves who Poole started the season with. If someone replied to a message on this thread on the Poole thread, people wouldn't understand the reply. I agree with what you are saying in principle, but meeting threads can expand into other subjects without that being planned.
  13. Great guess. Hopefully Gladiator Phil will send an apology for his responses!
  14. The only team I could see him strengthening would be Berwick in place of Wood?
  15. If that was the case. I'd presume they preferred Starke & Foord was never in their plans? Can't see them planning to build a team over 1.5 below the limit by putting Foord in the top 5. Can't imagine they'd sign anyone other than a temp 2.00 number 7 if they were saving a spot for Cairns?
  16. Makes a big difference to the Plymouth team. A second big hitter, which they've been missing, plus a strong reserve, which they've not had since Fredriksen moved into the top 5. Bowtell should score well. Not sure they'll be able to make a play-off push, but much better chance of avoiding the wooden spoon now. Big weekend coming up with a couple of "winnable" away matches. Two wins then all of a sudden they're chasing a top 4 spot. Can they do it?
  17. Even if Nicholls did miss some Saturdays (Plymouth don't race every Saturday & there isn't a GP every Saturday either) a 75% guest & Butcher would still be an improvement on a 4.00 guest & Cluff imo. But apparently he's not got GP commitments anyway.
  18. I believe it is subject to management committee approval? Doesn't matter now with the (very good) Nicholls signing.
  19. Poole were almost a point below the limit. Using Foord would still have left them well I feel the limit. It was a straight choice Starke or Foord.
  20. Foord had a higher average than Starke at the start of the season, wouldn't have given the team any points spare to strengthen elsewhere.
  21. I see Belle Vue, Sheffield & Leicester, all are still to race at Birmingham & Oxford. T Good chance of two extra away wins, maybe Ipswich aren't as guaranteed to finish top as I thought they were? Realistically I can only see Sheffield finishing above Ipswich. But still think Witches are favourites to finish top.
  22. Why are people suddenly declaring Ipswich won't win the league, every team can have an off night. Besides a 2 point away defeat is league winning form, Ipswich are bound to win by 4+ against anyone at home. *baring injuries
