Some measure of plastic rigidity or similar reading can surely be used to determine when a fence needs replacing rather than a blanket ten years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore by definition an insurance company lawyer would go no where near that. They just want a certified date to cover their backsides so if there's a failure it's not their fault.

I believe they are well over half way and they've been advised to apply to Plymouth Council for 'match funding'. If successful I wonder what they will do with any surplus?

Rather than needing over £30k, currently fund is short only £18.5k, but paused to allow switchover to a crowdfunding stream, which will allow the application for assistance.

All well and good but riders won't wait for Plymouth with the current uncertainty and then if we put out a substandard 1-7 the excuses will come. Hopefully the air fence can be secured quickly to allow us to start signing riders. Looking at averages assuming we are back at the tapes I'd hope we could get Thompson back, I think he'd be 5.92 after reduction. Could we tempt Dan back to Plymouth (7.55)...? I'd love to see Jason Edwards at Plymouth, with reduction I believe 6.28 would be a value average (dare say he's bound for elsewhere but would love to see it). I'd go nowhere near Barker on that average, he's never getting close to that next year. Tobias Thomsen was supposedly guaranteed a spot after his horrible injury, would he get a reduction at all for missing the season? If we've learnt anything from last season we need strength at reserve. Grmek back maybe? I think Klima could also improve but then there's the cost of airfares etc. Will be interesting to see where we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
