On 9/28/2026 at 9:52 AM, Bitza said: The problem with Poole's 3/4 partnership is that Kerr always wants to lead and scoot off intó the distance, leaving Rushen to fend for himself. Whereas both Lawson & Cooke are happy to ride shotgun. Having won all 8 bonus points and being over 200 +points (for & against)Poole are clearly favourites. A steady away performance is required, and avoiding the Plymouth scenario. For me it was Edinburgh and Glasgow who have out performed expectations. I was expecting Berwick/Plymouth/Redcar/Scunthorpe to be in the mix. I would plan my team differently in cup / play-off ties as there ate no tactical. Just in case matches don't go the full 15 heats, could leave yourself weaker in heats 13/14? For example 1. Cook 2. Cairns 3. Lawson 4. Rushen 5. Kerr 6. Newman 7. Lightcap If it's called off after 12 heats, at least Lawson has had 4 rides, if its called off after 13, it's the weakest (statistically) top 5 rider missing his last ride. For Scunthorpe, providing they can head to the second leg with a lead, I'd have a weaker number 5 & "sacrifice" heat 13 for points elsewhere. As a neutral I'd like Scunthorpe to win, but can't see it happening. Edited September 30 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said to me he had a few offers for next season already when you were down here for u.19s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if he wants the challenge of learning one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't count no, play offs, KO Cup and BSN semis/finals are excluded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitza Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 (edited) I just read something on Facebook where the Eddie Wright track was described as small and fast, is this accurate? I assume when they say fast it's not just because the laps are so short? Is it as small as the Collosium Plymouth?
