Yes I’ll open it now.

Whilst I totally understand where you’re coming from, different people use different social media platforms. So clubs need to use them all to make the biggest influence.

Are they? There’s not been a single tweet about this meeting and actually, not a single tweet by Buxton at all since early February.

Yes they must’ve taken Mulford’s British reduction off and then doubled it. But I don’t remember that happening previously.

Meadows has a bit of an awkward average. But at least he’s starting the season at reserve and Leicester are patient with riders, so he’ll get the time to practice and then hopefully improve.

Mulford averaged 4.37 for Redcar. So doubled equates to 8.74 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone else crunched the numbers? How is this team under the limit?

Simpson is an anomaly really on an extremely high average. Mainly due to him riding such few NL meetings, before not riding again last season. But fair play to KL for giving Simpson a team place. He’s clearly the type of rider the NL is designed for, but he must’ve been worried at that average.

Tbf the team needed a big hitter or two to come in just to be competitive against the rest of the league’s heat leaders.

3 very strong heat leaders and it’ll be interesting to see how Sadler gets on.

Yep they’ve made a mess of it! And previously the British reduction wasn’t taken off before doubling. But now probably depends if that club needs an extra 0.20 or not 😂

Absolutely correct. The points limit is set far too high this season.

Mulford has missed a season so it should be his converted Championship average at 8.74. After 2 seasons in the Premiership, should the NL really be the place that Mulford has to fall back into?
