According to the Eastbourne website the Wolves team for the match at Eastbourne will included R/R for Tai and Stuart Robson as replacement for Ty.
Seems a very strange choice - I would have thought we would have better having a guest for Tai - either PK or Davey Watt if available - and R/R for Ty.
With a guest for Tai we could have been looking at a victory.
As it is I can't see anything other than a big win for The Eagles.
Very disappointing.

Problem is that on the same night is the Best Pairs where many top riders are riding. Davey Watt looks set to partner Chris Holder for Australis (possibly with Darcy Ward as reserve) , while Iversen may be replacing Nicki Pedersen.
Scott Nicholls got a broken bone in his foot while riding in Poland but Kasprzak seems to be on form at the moment and did well at Arlington recently and has since scored 20 at Lakeside and nearly won the Cardiff GP.
With riders catching up in Sweden this week and Poland on Sunday, guests will be hard to pick from. ..... Would Lewis Bridger be allowed to guest for Ty ? (average fits)
Cameron Woodward is in a Longtrack event so r/r for him, but he is 2nd in their averages !

Although Robson is an honest rider and will try his best for us it seems strange to me that we have not used Cook for Ty, in fact until Ty is fit I would block book Cook whenever he is available.

The international calendar keeps growing....time for either a true Super League per Poland or Sweden or a Super Premier League without the GP stars and those not committed 100%. The time has come....and TNT, any mention of your old plan and you will be fined 100 quid towards Mr 8's beer fund.

Super League in England !!
More chance of Hynek Stichauer gaining a place in next years Grand Prix Series.
Britain in the top flight will NOT go one night a week and therefore will never attract the big names like Gollob, Hampel, Hancock, Jonsson, Lindback, Sayfutdinov, Laguta, MJJ etc etc
So Wolves have the two riders who are in form this year missing through injury.
An away trip to a team that always does well at home and replaces an out of touch ageing Aussie with a former heat leader who is a track specialist ..... at reserve.
This could be embarrasing with Freddie getting half the teams total.

Robson score for Coventry at Eastbourne 0000 not looking good for us.

So it's a 420 mile round trip, circa £60 in fuel for what is now a meaningless 'B' fixture. Both teams (sic) using R/R with a probable return to the "60-30" scoreline of recent years. Thank goodness there is Harvey's Ale nearby and "Cheesy Chips" at the stadium. How ironic the Wolves Official Site can only let us know about Greg Hancock appearing at the 'Green in September. Still Greg who had his 'half a year' contract at Reading a few years ago was in at the start of the GP riders deciding to 'stuff' Britain and the Elite League! So he might as well appears at the end of the Elite League.

Totally agree we are like lambs to the slaughter but lets hope we do score some reasonable points especially Ludvig and Jacob.

Well we've had the lame excuses rolled out by the promotion for the cheap option line up they've put in place.
PK would have been an obvious choice and I can't see him riding in any of the meetings mentioned on the official site, which seems to confirm that they weren't really bothered about this meeting.

I'm sure the one consolation is that we will have a large turn out of Wolves fans as I'm sure the numerous fans who were at Coventry a couple of weeks ago in the good times won't desert the team during the struggles.

There is a piece in the local Plymouth paper tonight stating they don't expect Ty Proctor back until 'mid June.' Nothing more precise.

Would have thought Eddie Kennett guesting for Tai would have been a better option than Robbo at #2 and only r/r rides going to Robbo, Ludvig and Jacob.
Ludvig guesting for Coventry tonight.
KENNETT a no go ...... ??

Kennett is riding in the Grand Prix qualifier but wouldn't have been available anyway as he would have been riding for Berwick

Well I didn't expect anything from that meeting and it would have been interesting if Shields and Woffinden were riding as Lewis Bridger scored 15 that Shields wouldn't have got and Tai is better than 7 points.
