  1. surely a figure that he would outscore wouldnt be reasonable. A figure he woukd match would be reasonable!! All irrelevant anyway as he wont be able to double up whatever his average if the regs are applied.
  2. It has also been the case that assessed riders cant double up. When Ward first went PL the Witches announced they wanted him to double but it was blocked for that reason. Also wouldnt Lambert be assessed at 7 rather than 3 anyway according to the regs as he is currently riding in a professional league. Edit - Adam Ellis was also earmarked at Lakeside mid season last year but was blocked as no established average from previous year. On that basis Lambert wont be able to d/u even once he has a true average whatever it is.
  3. Good luck to Danny - top bloke and great to watch. Hopefully the more regular racing will give him that edge and confidence he needs to kick on and continue the form of this week (except against the Witches!)
  4. Don't think that combination would fit. Must total about 15 which must be too much?? Lewis Rose goes to about 4.25 soon so will only be 2!!
  5. This could certainly start a bit of a merry go round of moves. There are plenty of riders under pressure at a number of clubs and this could open up some options.
  6. Probably -just wild guesses on my part. Bridger and Smart!!!
  7. Presumably to get in a really high averaged it will need to be a double change. King/Nicholls/Schlein/Korneilisen/Mikkelsen/Harris?????
  8. Trying to be positive - the draw is a better result than we got in last years league fixture against the Diamonds.
  9. Would it really surprise anyone to see the situation arise that Roynon rides for Plymouth whilst Sheffield ate still granted permission to use r/r for him.?
  10. but as it mostly upset Edinburgh some will like the Panthers more! wink
  11. clench your fists, hold you arms out in front, twist your wrists back and forth,run around blowing raspberries and dream. It will be just like the real thing!!
  12. The 'blue groove' on Good Friday appeared at about heat 4 and there was very little outside it worth trying to use. On Monday it didnt appear til about heat 12 and there was a definate outside option used to good effect on a number of occaisions. That was the difference IMO. I think Mondays track prep was as good as is possible given the conditions.
  13. One that both sides will feel they shouldve won. Track held up pretty well and there was genuine racing/passing. For an afternoon meeting it was decent and certainly tension filled. Quite how Rohan was disqualified from the original attempt of Heat 15 I dont know. When the red lights came on he was closest of all 4 to the tapes and ready to go! If the 2 minutes was up as he was still coasting round after his initial problems then why didnt the light and klaxon cone on? Best wishes to Schrammy and Ton Perry. I think you missed a smiley off this Beerhut. It should replace the question mark. Im sure no one will be more gutted than Richie.
  14. Even hotter than Good Friday. Just done the track walk. Seems lots of material on it and well watered. Bob still working hard. Fingers crossed.
  15. sounds like a metaphor for team changes! No garden centre trip neede for the Witches despite recent issues IMO.
  16. you make it sound all jetset - admit it you were bumming around with a rucksack and a sleeping bag werent you!! wink
  17. Berwick havent been penalised by the decision to allow Sheffield a facilty. Denied the chance to take advantage of a weakened side maybe but I would say that is different to being penalised. Every side should expect to take on full strength opposition.
  18. Or they could be thinking its the best time against a team that could be low on confidence and knowing that they capitulated in their last day meeting. The meeting therefore may be won or lost in the heads of the teams as much as any other factor IMO. For the Witches I think this has dual importance. The result is important to steady the ship so to speak. Another defeat could see a downward spiral set in. The spectacle is also important in respect of crowd levels for the rest of the season. As with any Bank Holiday meeting it attracts those 'part timers' and families that also may attend during the high summer and school holiday weeks. Another blue groove borefest like Good Friday will significantly reduce how many return. I think it will be close but its time to be positive - Witches by 4.
