  1. Right could somebody please explain why they think there are enough riders when most teams are using double ups rr or guest please don't use the racing same night argument as we know race night can't always change due to teams racing in rented accommodation
  2. Agree RR is part of the sport but it's not a good side to it surely something has to be done to reduce it not a great believer in it. Reduced team numbers altered format has to be a start let's face we all believe the sport needs change so why not be radical. For me I would like 6 man teams non of your changes because the reserve is going well and somebody else isn't so he has 7 rides. Track reserves for an injured rider only thing I would say if a heat leader gets injured in his first heat two of his rides taken by othe heat leaders one by reserve and one by the track reserve.
  3. Like the British bit but surely with the amount of doubling up and guests and rr there's a shortage even before Injuries take hold
  4. Just been browsing a few topics on 2016 teams and everybody seems to be picking 7 man teams. Surely with the constant lack of riders and use of the dreaded guest and Mr R/R is it a good time to go to six man teams which gives everyone 5 rides during a meeting and increases rider availability . Or are we going to plump for more of the same
  5. Heartbroken at that result however got to say what a good meeting it was with some tremendous racing
  6. It was something like that I would suggest getting someone to ride who was always going to be there in one capacity or another is a good business decision
  7. Can't disagree there but come on if this was something out of the ordinary I could see the point in moaning about it but let's face it this is custom and practice so no need to keep havin a hissy fit
  8. Shrimmy I was thinking the same the kid goes on and on can't he just watch and enjoy the speedway for what it is without the politics. Bet he chucks his pencil case around after Plymouth get a nice little away win when an out of sorts average lowering team full of guests get beat at home. Can't beat a good conspiracy theory
  9. Yep we have can't disagree but the way this is all playing out its like a huge slice of creamy karma coming along just at the right time
  10. Got to say was quite a enjoyable meeting and think the meeting changed on the race were Matt Williamson got his point what we expected to be a last place didn't and from then on it swung in our favour. Must say tho how Andreas didn't get exclude in that heat when he spun right round on turn one and was facing the wrong way when collected by another rider amazes me think that ref needs glasses or I need a gallon of what he was was drinking
  11. Scunny seem well balanced as a team at the moment the addition of Leigh and Alex and Theo riding well gives us the edge in the meeting
  12. Can't disagree screm but if the mc are happy with it what is the endless debate about it opinions don't count if you ain't making the decision unfortunately
