InTheDeepStuff Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Wonder if this will be anything near the Northampton 1-7 for the coming season: 1 Jaimon Lidsey 7.87 2 Rohan Tungate 5.89 3 Nicolai Klindt 6.46 4 Charles Wright 6.11 5 Niels Iversen 6.71 6 Kye Thomson 3.95 7 Luke Harrison RS Using the last updated 2025 averages including any reductions I think that the team total is 36.99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Given the importance of this new venture, they are going to need a big star to front the team. Got to be Tai surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only need six riders as they could run R/R for the entire season and win the league. I wouldn’t bet against that with the current mickey mouse way of doing things. Why can’t we get back to the halcyon days of the 70’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or get Eddie Kennett in for opening night then go with your plan match 2 to season end or Niki Pederson for another one of those awesome first corners. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle77 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) 2 hours ago, Teromaafan said: Didn't White City do just that in the mid 70's? Yep... 1977... What a season... I went to every home match and quite a few away... But we did have Gordon Kennett riding to a 10 point average... And the likes of Marek Cieslak, Kai Niemi, Steve Weatherley and Trevor Geer all maintaining a 6 or 7 point average... So a really solid team backed up by riders like Mike Sampson and Paul Gachet more than holding their own at no.7... Try putting a team like that together now...!!! Good luck...
