Weren't they promoted this year for winning "the league"?

Rider of the year: James Sarjent, for single handedly doubling the length of time it takes to run a meeting, what great value for money Most impressive team: Poole for managing to cheat their way to a title yet again Team rider of the season: Chris Holder One to watch: Matt Fraud Bulldog award (Best British rider): Rory Schlein Meeting of the season: Eastbourne vs Mildenhall 26/10/18 Surprise of the season: That the sport managed to survive it Underperformers (Team): BSPA Unluckiest rider: James Sargent, the refs keep picking on him Newcomer of the season: Martin Vaculik

Gemini, I'd like to nominate myself for the Victor Meldrew award... Vote for me!

Gemini, looks like your wish has been granted... Vote for me!

Riders used in 2018 Belle Vue 11 King's Lynn 11 Leicester 15 Poole 13 Somerset 10 Swindon 8 Wolves 8 Only 2 teams in single figures... I'd say that was most

Was that pre DU though?

Don't forget Cov

Most of the club's rip their teams up during the year! Look at Poole and Leicester, the worst offenders, tbf Swindon did pretty well this year

As clubs are generally forced to break up a title winning squad that's certainly no reward for winning the title! And what is a wood spiral?

Oh, please reply THJ... He's not given you much to go on though

Just goes to show how toothless (spineless) the SCB is

It can still be done... Look at how many riders Swindon used this season and they finished mid table

Or a Craven Shield or something?

I think it certainly makes him a better sportsman... Which is what we're discussing here, to suggest that Holder is not as good after Wards injury just to me suggests that Tai is better at what he does than Holder is and don't forget he had to deal with the death of his father

... And loads of time to promote the league's biggest 2 meetings of the year!

How about alternating it each year... 1 year it's winners of the play offs that are champions the next year it's the winners of the league and have no play offs. I'm not even sure myself if I'm serious with this one

That bar is not very high

And to suggest that Holder is better than Woffinden but no longer in his way because of Wards terrible injury is ridiculous. Woffinden was also no doubt effected, as were many others, but had the mental strength to carry on and manage his mind in pursuit of his goals, unlike Holder, whether Wards injury effected him that much is obviously just an opinion. This in my mind just makes Woffy better than Holder, as the record books will testify

I think there's a ridiculously simple solution to that though

I don't know why they get so precious about 31st of October now then?

I agree there should be a cut off but end of August is far too soon

There's always an excuse... Forget it then, I ain't going to the cricket!

Better get ready for @PboroPanthers meeting away to Lakeside tonighthttps://t.co/xtu5M3n6wf

Yes they did... Never saw Tom Cruise at Monmore Green though

That's right... I always get mixed up between that and Dianetics... Which I think Rob Pfetzing was involved with
