Kenneth will be riding in Denmark Beat me to it! ^^^

No Rebels fans interested in starting a thread? This will be a massacre I'm afraid, can see the Rebels hitting more than 60 easily. Would love to be wrong, but I won't be! Dan Greenwood and Matt Williamson at reserve. Our season starts tomorrow with a stronger looking line up

I think there's a chance Nicki will be replaced if he's out for much longer and once Matty's average has dropped, Kenneth won't be at reserve for long

We will see now he has a real average, I think he'll end up around 6.5. Well done to Kyle on becoming number 1, thoroughly deserved on this years form, I'm glad to be proved wrong

I'll ask again, who would you put in?

If you read what I said earlier in this thread I've already stated that I think Hansen and Barrett are taking the pee. I do however still think Hansen would be value on a lower average and an entertainer at home, I'd have him in my team

Who would you bring in? Personally I think Kenneth would be good value on a 5 and a bit average, he's very good at Derwent Park and he gets the crowd involved more than any of the others

I can see Rusty and Ashley in for Matty and Nicki as soon as Kenneth's average drops

I think Hansen is good on a 5 and a bit average, one of the others will drop out for Rusty to come back which isn't far off apparently then see if another change can be worked in with what's left over. Would have had more points to play with if Kyle and Ricky's averages hadn't gone up so much

I think the team changes will come when Kenneth gets his proper average (1 more home meeting???). I do think him and Nicki have taken the pee here though. They just didn't fancy coming over for a tough meeting where they wouldn't score many (if any). Well done to Rene for caring enough to make the effort! Good luck to Kyle tonight as well, he is flying at the moment so would expect him to qualify. He will be wearing the number 1 for us by the end of the month

Exactly, it's not worth the paper it's written on, the Polish side will abuse it when it suits them and threaten Kenneth with a big fine, at the end of the day the rider will ride for whoever he wants, I think the UK comes pretty low on his list of priorities. Embarrassing result today through no fault of anyone but the rules, should have done what Poole did and called it off due to a weakened side so their would be no entertainment

Have to say young Nathan showed real guts and determination to earn his points last night. In his earlier races he was getting caught by Lykke coming round the outside on 3&4 but he learned, went higher and held him off, good for him. Hope Kyle isn't out for too long, I don't think anyone was going to beat him last night, he looked great, much better from Kenneth too, disappointing that they both miss today, will be an uphill task to progress

That's certainly one take on things GM I would look at things a different way - we've won all our home meetings so far and won two away. We've won a close fought challenge and brought silverware back. We've lost away from home against probably the 3 best sides in the league which there is no shame in. We've had to make 5 changes to the line up from the team that was originally being put together. I don't think things are as bad as you're painting them. Yes the reserves need to be stronger, Nicki can do it but his confidence is down following the falls he's taken, I agree it's maybe to soon for Nathan in this league but he has the talent. I think when Kenneth gets his true average and Ricky goes to number 1 we will hopefully see an opportunity to strengthen at reserve. Let's see what tonight brings

Wouldn't mind seeing Foggy going round Derwent Park!

Matty will be making his debut in this meeting

Was going to come over for this but after seeing that we are putting out effectively a 3 man team I'm not going to bother. Kenneth missing again and 2 reserves with zero confidence and R/R means that when we may have been in with a shout of an away win, we are now looking at a straightforward home win. Hope I'm wrong but can't see it.

I would imagine that Wethers has been granted 'leave to remain' as his family is here, like Rusty has. Though I maybe totally wrong

What changes would you fellas make? There aren't many riders out there are there? It's all well and good saying get rid of Hansen, Bach, Barrett and Greaves but who do you bring in? I agree changes should be made if the right rider becomes available Sadly all the changes in the lead up to the season left us weaker than we would have been, Lambert and Campton would have been a very good reserve pair compared to most PL sides but that's the way it goes

Slightly off topic here but Worky's situation with Campton confuses me still. He had a valid visa up until the end of 2015 by which point he would have to have a 7 point average to have it renewed which he may or may not have achieved. So my question is with a valid visa why was he not allowed in? If every club had to reapply for its sponsor licence then every rider would have to reapply for their visa as their current ones would be invalid I feel sorry for Proctor but as others have said someone should have been aware of the upcoming problem of his visa expiry and his rolling average

Kyle is riding for his club tonight too

Comets by 16 I think. Hope Ashley does well and gets a good reception

Fishing is too easy these days I do agree the League Cup should be done and dusted asap and I'm fully aware that no one team could reschedule all other teams Just me having my fun, you Monarchs just jump too fast...

Can't understand why Workington would agree to this being switched around if Edinburgh were missing Masters and Wolbert, would have been an almost certain victory, if Edinburgh come at full strength that may not be the case as our neighbours from the north were oh so quick to point out last time. Who's in charge of the fixtures again............................

I'm sure it says we are racing Edinburgh on both our website and the BSPA site. If the powers that be are moving things around then fair enough, I just cannot see how double header at this point of the season would be worthwhile

Are you sure? We are racing against Edinburgh that night, can't see a double header happening this early in the season
