Averages for both reserves please.

Looking at the computer pictures, what the hell is that box with Abbey Stadium on it? So a few windows up top to look out of? No terracing in the front? Useless! This is surely just some feeble knock up and no good for viewing whatsoever. Flat in front so three deep at best. Or is this the outside of the stadium and the ‘track’ is just the road to the stadium?

Yes.

Good read for the uneducated public. Need a strong vocal force to attend every open planning meeting to put pressure on rugby council. Brandon Estates can Eff off.

And would still do a very good job. In fact he would do better than some of the riders signed for clubs with higher averages. And still doing four leagues this coming season. Total professional rider and a nice guy too.

Like the use of John Cena clip for the announcement.

A few have been named already.

Heard nearly 7 times that figure.

Heard a rumour that BT upped their offer to a much more reasonable amount from the paltry 3,000 per live meeting initial offer. The agreed offer was of an amount so that clubs could offer a tenner entry and not lose money when the cameras are in town.

Hopefully p&P will be open for the public not just guests.

Stirring? Don’t be ridiculous. It was sensible advice.

Little bit of advice Starman. Don’t get into the usual heated debates with Gavan or anyone else. It will raise your blood pressure one way or another, even without you realising it, and at the moment that would not be good for you.

What is NKI’s average?

With so many teams riding there was bound to be conflict. R/r it is.

No different from Poole going to Wolves in the 2016 semi with an injury depleted team.

I am 100% confident both Poles will do their jobs and more. Woryna challenging for heat leader and Spanner dominant at reserve most of the time.

Poole lost because we lost Bjarne, who was an out and out number one, to a nasty injury around heat 7. Lynch failed to do his job of covering for Bjarne correctly, leaving us vunerable in heats 13 and 15.

Lynch guest managed for Poole at Coventry several years ago. Poole won the first leg by about 28 points. We lost the second leg under Lynch by 30. OK we lost our number one bjarne half way through the meeting with a broken wrist but Lynch did such a fantastic job Coventry got three 5-1’s in the last three heats to go through. Inept at team management.

All done and dusted just waiting for the moment. Roll on March and let’s kick some ass!

The rule has been dropped last week. Poles wanted Thursdays for playoff replays should there be rainoffs. It was agreed.

So when Mauger, Olsen, Rickardsson came to town your clubs attendances stayed the same?

The Poles have relaxed the rule

I think its a brilliant 1-7 given the points limit and restrictions. Should muller some teams and pick up wins on the road.

Sure at first there would be a disparity, the same as the football premiership. But bottom teams get their biggest attendances when the ManU’s, Chelseas and Arsenals come to town. They hope their team will do the unthinkable and turn over the bigger club and send them off with their tails between their legs. Teams would self govern by putting out a team they could afford. Promotions won’t make themselves bankrupt. They know what they can afford. It might work. It might not. No harm in trying.

Really makes me think a points limit is nonsense. Teams should build to whatever they wish, as long as they have three British riders in the team. Reserves must be British u21. Teams with 42.5 are still not equal so allow teams to build to whatever they wish.
