Redcar had a 14 point lead after 10 heats,fell apart in the last 5,losing 11-19, and Masters only finished third in heats 13/15.Going to make for an interesting second leg on Sunday,I don’t think 6 points is enough of a lead.
Great performance by the Bears,just got to wonder what might of happened if we had our original guest! Sure Morris would have done better than 3Points!! Ironically when we were at Glasgow in the league the same rider(Zischke)scored double figures against us guesting for Glasgow!!
As usual it’s difficult for the average fan to know the ‘rules,people often ask me because they know I’ve been going to speedway for over 50 years and most of the time my answer is,I haven’t got a clue!!Maybe someone could help me out with this question?I believe in the play-offs you can’t use a guest from the other semi finalists? Does that also apply for the BSN trophy and the KO Cup?I ask because of Redcar’s situation of qualifying for all 3 semifinals and needing to get guest’s for Erik Riss.
Great performance tonight,but the failure to make any team changes is going to cost the Bears, they are going to be in the mix for all the trophies, but trying to rely on getting decent quality guests or running with R/R is not going to work!!
Great result for the Bears tonight, well done everybody.Just shows the lottery of the guest system though,got lucky with the choice this time,but they surely can’t keep gambling like this?Bears in semi’s of the KO Cup,BSN trophy and probably the playoffs.It will be even harder to get good guests then with more restrictions.Just hope they haven’t left it to late to make a team change(or two!)
Now and again! I take it you didn’t get my attempt at irony???
Really crucial few days for Bears play-off aspirations,six points to defend tonight and then six points to make up on Friday.I think the bare minimum we need is at least the bonus which will give us 4 points over the two matches, don’t think Bears can allow Oxford to take all the points tonight if they want to keep their hopes alive.Who’s this Mulford guy?
Yes, that’s the reason Mulford is missing,but it’s not a teamGB event, and don’t see what relevance that meeting has with getting relevant guests for Mulford or Riss as most of the riders in it don’t even ride in this country.
Bit off topic,apologies,as the bears are going to need 2 guests again this Friday against Glasgow and only 3 teams to choose from, can we use Poole riders?I’m not sure how that 8 day rule thing works?Expecting some smart ar&e, sarcastic, reply as usual from 40-38!
