But I see your point, does make more sense Artem is wasted in ht8, but now with Anders could pick up a 4-2...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree a little, Anders would cost more than Edwards. Replacement was needed for Jakobsen & on current form (as strange as it sounds) Lambert could be better. This team has improved imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a chance to do this after the covid season but no carried on with the same old - so it might brings things to a head and force some peoples hand You would think that this would be the "natural" thing to do... However... History does suggest that "another way" will be found... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wolverhampton don't come to tapes I can see Van Straaten moving Redcar up. A Premiership & Championship with 7 teams each highly likely.

Seven clubs is probably the number that means the TV money is worth having to support the cost of running in Div 1.. Teams with crowds of 600 or so need to be NDL unless the many Div 1 HL's stop doubling down.. Maybe "Championship Lite/NDL Plus" is the call for Div 2?

To be fair to him , as he does get some stick. He is having a great season, and has averaged 7.43 this season in the Champ, above the likes of TJ, MPT, Schlein, Morris, and the Worralls. Hopefully he will match Freds 4.89 for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 simon lambert is a much improved rider this past year or so. better than rowe who will likely disappoint IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first full season for KL was 2008. Rowe was 6 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it boils down to how ambitious those promotions are, the desire of them and their patrons to see GP standard riders and how good their sponsors are.

SuperStarsFan91 Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Going back to the Edwards thing, I do think it shouldn't be the rising stars' responsibility to get the team the win, but when your rising star is scoring 1 or 0 and other rising stars are scoring 4 or 5 some meetings then you're on the back foot from the start! I like Jason and it is a shame, but it was the correct choice 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think the main issue with Jason is that even after two half seasons he just didn't look comfortable on the Buster clay. Same with Jakobsen. Both really should have kicked on this year but didn't. Lambert and Rowe will be fine in that regard, whether they can score the points required to win home matches remains to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory says Rowe did well in the ‘test’ match at Lynn against Denmark. Jason also needs to be harder in first bend. However, convinced his time will come.

Glasgow would have the biggest question mark. Redcar used to ride on Thursdays so shouldn't be a problem. When Oxford wanted to do Prem straight away, I think Thurs was their option.
