  1. Fricke was in a struggling team and likely had to take more heat 15's than Doyle (same team as Sayfutdinov, Kolodziej & Piotr Pawlicki).
  2. Impossible to say until Ace's are complete, but I can't see them being a strong as Sheffield regardless. I like the look of Ipswich. Not sure on Kings Lynn, depends what Kildemand is like. Wolves & Peterborough are underwhelming, but hoping a year at Monmore does Kemp some good. Fricke to top the Premiership averages.
  3. Why the objection to Sedgeman, he was decent at PB in Glasgow's win last year .. better than Wells 5.5 seems reasonable.
  4. Hadn't realised that. 20.51 left if the pinned team building thread is to be believed, 7.66 (Ellis) & 5.55 (Sedgeman) would leave 7.3
  5. I don't want any..... Rider X isn't doing Championship... blah, blah. And I can't be a***d to get spreadsheet out (Monday I would) If the Brummies signed two of Ellis/Ostergaard/Sedgeman what would remain for final rider?
  6. FFS. Stay on topic I'll die at my desk!
  7. darts is a dreadful spectator sport unless you're comatose. Average pint consumption per attendee at a Darts event was around 16.
  8. Sadly that goes for an awful lot of modern day riders!
  9. Really? Holder is pretty one dimensional. Fricke has qualified for GP's, won GP's, Holder hasn't.
  10. So... sign a Pole who would miss every meeting at Redcar, Glasgow, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Berwick, Leicester & Scunthorpe?
  11. No point in signing Poles who have a Polish league spot Almost all Championship fixtures are Fri, Sat, Sun the same days as the Polish league.
  12. Don't see any weakness for Sheffield. Holder will be as good as any #1 except Fricke, possibly Doyle. Musielak, topped the averages in the Polish 2nd tier in 2021 and knows British tracks plus Cooke, Howarth & Ellis. Frankly they don't need the reserves to score a single point. But Mountain & Neilsen will anyway.
  13. Sheffield have compiled a great septet. They will take some stopping. But you never know what will happen. If all things are equal, only Ipswich can upset Sheffield currently.
  14. Because they have Fricke, who is currently better than Bewley?
  15. Well, I definitely won't be attending if Brummies are only tracking 4 riders in a league where the other teams have 7! Seems strangely quiet for too long.
  16. Lasse is still riding? Kenneth, along with Broc Nicol. It's not Woffinden & Jakobsen, but probably the best available. Bjerre maybe a few years beyond his peak but will be a solid heat leader on a track he knows. It's getting to the now or never stage for Nicol's European career, which he must realise. Had enough time to become accustomed & more opportunities than the average Brit his age is ever afforded.
  17. There are almost no "small tracks" now Kirky Lame, Arlington & Purfleet are gone. Some riders couldn't be bothered to try to learn how to ride them then..... Why would they now? Give me a EoESg or NSS over Monmore, as a spectacle, but racing at "small tracks" is more interesting to watch than a follow the leader fest at a big (Swindon) or slick medium (Poole/Brandon) track. Big.Track.Common
  18. Things that fester too long in the same place go stale. That had happened with the Worrall's at Belle Vue. If he'd have returned, Cooke would have filled that 7-8 rider gap nicely.
  19. Most of the riders listed are past their peak, but teams need experience. The exception is Jensen but I have no idea what he has done in the last few years. He isn't in Ekstraliga which is the only foreign league I watch & keep an eye on regularly.
  20. If BV can get NKi & Jakobsen I'd go with that, seems unlikely though. NKi & Nicol doesn't fit, Zagar & Nicol does. I think. NKi has had a few injuries & has suffered but is still a good racer & quick around NSS.
  21. Yep Finished above Doyle in GP series last year, Fricke is young enough to continue to improve, Doyle on downward spiral. Fricke was best Aussie in SoN, Doyle was poor.
