geoff100 Posted yesterday at 10:00 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:00 AM 1 hour ago, Mr Blobby said: No he didn’t ride cause he believes it should be over a few rounds like most national championships instead of a one off on a track he knows he’s not going to win on. Very similar reasons as to why Ritchie Worrall never bothered a few years back. A bit like use my ball or i am not playing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest Lawson is at the journeyman stage of his decent enough career .. better to see a young gun in my opinion Most Heatleaders in the Championship are at the journeyman stage of their career these days.It is a National Championship though.

He does have a point 90% of the field are turning up to belle vue knowing they aren’t going to win. Say you spread it out over 3/4 rounds gives a much higher percentage of the field a chance of being crownd British champion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone can be British champion get off your backside and ride Do you think in recent years people expected King or Schlein or Ellis or Wright to win it but they did Lawson rides and you never know on one night what might happen Have it over 4 rounds the chance of a shock goes Edited yesterday at 10:20 AM by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A multi round championship would interest me, but would enough people ( and riders) support it to make it viable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASpeedwayfan Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago I do agree that a multi round would increase the chance of a surprise and deserved winner, could have 3 rounds spread out across the UK, Poole/ Oxford one round, Glasgow for a round and then the Finale at Manchester. Lambert if he’s riding might win or it’ll be Bewley, unless Brennan can provide a shock? Realistically they are fighting for 3rd spot as that’ll be who gets to be the wildcard to the GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago So Poole's asset Base isn't worth anything now,maybe they will develop more home grown talent rather than invest in Aussies, swedes and Danes. Big loss of revenue for Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest Lawson is at the journeyman stage of his decent enough career .. better to see a young gun in my opinion Think that's a bit harsh, sure quite a number of championship teams would like that journeyman as their No1, and as a second heat leader in the Premiership?
