  1. As much stick as Cam got for his early form (and yes I agree he didn't quite look on it) at the time of his injury he was only 2 race points short of matching his average Post injury he was for a spell quite frankly dire. I think he probably shouldn't have been riding in truth. More recently though he has shown some signs of better form Wouldn't be shocked at all to see him back
  2. Indeed but scoring well in the play offs will be win win for him. He will increase his income , he will not increase his average and it will encourage potential employers he is worth offering a place next year.....
  3. Let's hope there are far greater changes required and we see a complete revamp of the league structure and not just tinkering If there are still only 6 teams and more of the same as this season then it will be a disaster and a continued decline to the end for the sport
  4. Already in the play offs and Batch taking his chance to lower his average in the meetings that count towards it. Come the playoffs where the scores don't count I think you will see a different outcome..... Ben Cook can't replace Neilsen - Stefan is a 3 point rider and Cook would be 4. I know yoy struggle with these concepts but I don't think even Sheffield could get away with that one
  5. Perhaps it could signal the start of a more formal breakaway from the establishment
  6. How? The deadline was the 28th. Any changes would have to be part of the declared side for Thursday If they are not declared for this week then they can't be at all this season (unless of course the regulations are simply ignored - again)
  7. I think the issue would be yet another separate subscription of a new platform.....
  8. There are tens of thousands that plan in advance with speedway - its just they are the ones that now plan not to go again......
  9. Indeed and in this case 1 rule covering 2 leagues that had differing criteria in team composition!!
  10. Just officially sign a 3 or 4* option ...... I would suggest Josh Bates and then just use any guest you want
  11. I think given the fact that Boro were the only team to go with a 1* RS there should be an in the best interests of speedway ruling allowing them up to an additional point to replace Ully
  12. I think it's common knowledge that I am not a big Cook fan to the extent that his signing was part of the reason I haven't attended the last few meetings However on a human level I hope he finds the help he needs to feel good in himself and live a happy and fulfilling life
  13. Don't Eurosport have form for editing out the races and leaving in all the guff!!
  14. Perhaps it is access to the showground to make the necessary set up that is the problem It's well known the issues Boro have with availability and restrictions of use Just speculating in the absence of any other explanation......
  15. Congratulations Adam - really great to see him progress year on year. Plenty more to come too I hope
  16. To be fair they are not used to having too many Brits to follow for some time
  17. Only about 30 miles in it between the distance from Poole and Glasgow/Edinburgh
  18. Perhaps the sport could adopt Bullseye rules - if you dont think its worth giving it go then the next team down gets a chance.....
  19. Given that any integrity in team building has long since passed why make potential play off qualifiers suffer from unfortunate injuries and also diminish the spectacle of what should be the season highlight My proposal would be that once the regular fixtures are complete that the riders of the 2 teams missing out are available to join the play off teams No guests and no r/r required or even allowed then in the play offs I wouldn't even limit the changes to injury replacements which could mean the very best 7 man teams on current form being in place Hopefully this would mean 6 hotly contested, and as close to top quality matches as possible given the resources, in the play offs and give the sport the best chance of ending on a high and with some positivity about the product It would also offer some small pinch of integrity being regained with no rider representing more than 1 team in the play offs
