He has been in majority of H15s this season and SH. Either Rowe or Cook at 5 would be okay imo. Plus if it doesn't work, can always change it again.

That’s my opinion he’s not at the same level as Ben Cook,Tom Brennan, from last year and many more no5 riders,let’s see how he gets on as I think he will get found out in many ht13s home and away which is something I don’t see with Anders.

Matt Marson’s a young man who deserves more than being dumped after four meetings at the expense of someone who will be replaced in 48 days. Matt Marson is hardly a young man. His first UK season was 7 years ago and he’s sadly not progressed beyond NDL level. He’s scored 2 points from 12 races for Poole, both gifts when Barker fell at Plymouth and Kerr retired at Oxford. This gives him a home average of zero, away of 1.33. it was brave of him to accept the offer of a CL place, but it can’t do his confidence any good being so far off the pace. So maybe he’s relieved to be let go? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest the league isn’t at the standard of having riders of Ben Cook and Tom Brennan anymore, those 2 are above the championship hence why they have moved on, I would say Sam Masters is also above the championship but perhaps doesn’t want to ride too much abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCB Wildcat Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 44 minutes ago, Bluekevin said: Who cares about football The million or so people that attended football matches on the day of the Cardiff GP maybe? 🤔 I would suggest that there are a significant amount of fans that follow both their football and Speedway teams. Also Speedway fans who no longer have a track to attend, who usually went to Cardiff, but opted to watch their football team instead. Just looking at some of the user names on this forum, which is a small cross section of fans, shows a few with an affinity to a football team. Out of the small number of Speedway teams left, Manchester, Sheffield, Poole (Bournemouth) Leicester, Ipswich, Birmingham, Oxford & Plymouth had teams playing in the Premier league or EFL championship that day. Myself, along with 5 others who always went to Cardiff opted to go to Forest instead, to watch Bournemouth. Shovvy said on here, that he did too. I can't believe that out of that million that went to football that day, that we are the only ones that would have attended Cardiff if it was at it's traditional June/July (pre football season) date.
