Ostergard or Starke would be stronger than Brennan and Hume for Shanes... May be they're not available....who knows. Poole will walk it !

Brennan is better than Auty, but wont add any weight and young Joe is a weak replacement for Shanes. Poole 54 B'ham 36

He might get bombed out on this occasion...but it would make sense to have him. it might even draw a couple of neutrals in?

Hume may be for Shanes then ?

King will fly around PB tomorrow have ne fear about that. Lawson and Worrall will be unbeatable if they make the gate. You're looking at least 35 points from these three alone, if not more.

Not sure what the average allowance for Auty is, but Ryan Douglas would be a great choice.

Any advances on who we'll be having as a guest?

Well done Newcastle!

The second strings/reserves will be won by bham, but we won't be able to compete with Pooles top 3....so I'm going for a Poole win 49-41

Not for me...seeing the best possible riders is more value for money imo.

It definitely made a difference... Morris is nowhere near Bombers standard at PB. However, on the flip side, Kyle Howarth is streets ahead of Auty....so I think it evened itself.

Yes in theory your right, but we all know that certain riders ride certain tracks better than the rider they're replacing.

What about, you can only take 1 guest booking per week and you can't guest for the same team, or at the same track more than once a month ?

What about, a guest rider cannot be replaced once declared, just because a better rider becomes available ???

And despite the best efforts of Shanes, it was legendary British duo Scott Nicholls and Chris Harris, who was a late guest for Oxford with initial booking Nick Morris stuck on the motorway at 5pm, who sealed victory for the Cheetahs Stuck on the motorway my ar#se ! So where did Bomber travel from when he got the call at 5pm ? LOL

Time to look at Vissing's contribution.....he's not cutting it for me.

Weird that one....he did Heat 15 '2 weeks' ago v Scunthorpe ? Perhaps he didn't have the bottle last night.....when it mattered ? or he had a mechanical issue ? 2 sides an all that !

Is it time we brought a female in to the commentary team ? Natalie Quirk was really good at her job when covering the presentation.....

You always know when the Club are in the wrong? Brian Buck doesn't make a post trying to defend them! That's not meant to be disrespectful to BB in anyway....everyone knows that his posts are in the main fair/accurate. I have the upmost respect for BB....I reckon he'd do a great job as Team Manager! Rogers out/Buck in !!

Absolutely! I don't agree with what they've done and I'll never know who orchestrated the whole event about deceiving us etc...(I reckon I have a good idea though...) I would like to see a new team manger, one with some integrity and credibility....but I do need to control my passion at times

I remember watching that meeting on TV....he looked good too....fearless, if I remember correctly. There was a rut on 3/4 bend and it caught him out ? (I could be wrong-as usual)

Time for me to take a bashing from other 'posters' !? I don't mind eating humble pie and I'm used to over-reacting and getting slated for it (if you hadn't already noticed...) I wanted to make a post y'day about the 'ELLIS' saga, but sub-conciously didnt because I knew it would be slated/judged based on us winning at Oxford? So, losing last night helps me in a way.... "I was wrong to react the way I did about the club deceiving the fans by not being honest with Ellis signing" I apologize if I offended anyone. The only people/fans it affects financially, are the ones that bought a season ticket based on his signing (and I'm not one of them...) So, I have/had no right to get so uptight and react the way I did. Yes, I'm disappointed and annoyed, but that's my problem and at least I have a choice of how I deal with it....(wrong at first, but better 24 hours later...as always).

I accept your opinion...but, for me, Shanes is stronger than Pearson atm, so why wouldn't you put Shanes in ? Anyway, the fact that Pearson came last, proves my point. I read a comment from Hobbit yesterday commending Rogers for leaving Pearson in in Heat 14 at Oxford (Pearson came second...) ? Rogers just got lucky....it wasn't tactical to leave him in? Rogers just doesn't have a scooby do when it comes to tactics!

Just about to say that too!? Rogers is a clown!

Another management error... why oh why didn't Shanes replace Pearson in Heat 12?
