Sure that happened the other year when the Monarchs brought Hook and Fredriksen back for a second season both were on a 4.00 having failed to achieve that the year before but the Monarchs were blocked from having Lasse start the season at reserve as he had had the higher average of the two (3.5 to 2.7 or something like that) the season before despite them starting the next season on the same average and there being nothing in the rule book to state this had to be the case. 

Plymouth enquired but because he rides in Poland on Sundays the logistics didn’t work out for Plymouths Saturday race night 

Don't think that has been the criteria for some time. If memory correct, Sheffield staged a testimonial for Shane Parker, who only rode one season for Sheffield.

I thought Lewy said the 1-7 was announced to all fans at their gathering last Friday!!?

I thought when riders are tied it's decided for the clubs and the greensheet says what position they are in, maybe their foreign averages would decide it?

Think it's a lot easier to travel from London to Edinburgh than Plymouth. He could easily fly up. It's a long drive to Plymouth
