Championship Teams Comparison Time
bigcatdiary replied to balderdash&piffle's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Much of what's best been said about Schlein was said about Kerr last year and he was quickly dropped by the witches, I think Covatti, Newman and Heeps have found their level, both the youngsters have age on their side and should improve whilst King is a class act at this level but unlikely to add much if anything at all. It's not a bad side but the real gamble is Schlein, if he comes good they could shine but if he doesn't the tail could wag a bit. -

Not at Workington though I suspect -
Assuming of course that the credible manager who is putting the team together attended the AGM or was told of the rule change by someone who did. Not all promoters attend the AGM because of a limit on attendance.
-
I am with SCB on this one, any riders coming into the UK should be assessed on a 7.00 whether they are a European, American or Australian.

The problem is total self interest, it needs someone independent with a good knowledge of the sport and its problems.

We live in hope shawn -
Interestingly enough I have had this discussion with our programme compilers several times and they insist sales are always a lot more when teams in riding order are not given out by club press releases, doesn't make any difference to me I have used an iPad programme for matches for a few years but my wife gets a programme by virtue of her season ticket. Our promotion gets nothing from the concessions as it's all organised by our Showground landlords, which is why beer, drinks and food are pricey.

Swindon not running Thursdays on GP weeks I have been told so shouldn't be much if a problem if the fixture compiler is on the ball. -
Personally I think he will do well to cover his 7.00 point starting average.

Who could argue with that, it certainly wouldn't do any harm to the British lads

To be fair I think it's more likely we will win at your track I rather think the management have given a lot of thought to the make up of this years team taking into account how previous teams have done from being solid or top heavy, the 2017 is clearly solid with a good reserve at all times coupled with the arrival of two Showground specialists, their cannot be many 2017 sides who can say with any optimism that all 7 can increase their starting averages. -
Crap PR and I bet the ST sales are going really well.

Their are not enough riders willing to ride in the UK for one league, plus it would shift the balance of power back to the riders which would ensure prices go up and clubs ending up like Belle Vue, Leicester and Plymouth amongst others. -

Sheffield have six doubling up it appears -
Certainly what I am hearing.

He was dreadful for Panthers this year
-
I can only agree, that's a terrible tail, Roynon as your number 4, I wouldn't have him at reserve.
-
I said last year Covatti would find it harder in the main body and so it proved Schlein is a big risk after his injuries and Heeps didn't exactly kick on at Rye did he. Its not looking to be a bad team but title contenders we will see, I just cannot see the big improvers apart from Hume.

Reading Vs Peterborough 2006 1st Leg Dvd

Has anyone tried Clean Cut Sports -
I think it's excellent value and have had it on subscription for donkeys years, quality read with some very good articles. Like others I would like to see the odd survey conducted as to problems with the sport and what supporters want.

Starke significantly upped his game in both leagues this year and is highly rated by many.
