What do Ipswich fans think of Newman this season? I guess I expected him to be a strong second string/ 3rd heat leader. A role he has pretty much met i'd say! Did Ipswich expect a bit more I wonder? Injuries make a difference?
What do Redcar fans think of Garrity this season? I know he's had injuries but i would've expected him to do better, with Barker on great form could've given Redcar a strong top 2!
I'm surprised Poole didn't give R Worrall an 8th match before bringing B Kurtz back in, after 7 matches he had a 6.27 ave but his Championship conversion would now be 7.32! Could've been a good pick for 2018 on a lower ave!
Making up the rules for 2018 what about 6 man teams, 40 points limit?
POOLE
1 Brady Kurtz 8.41
2 Richie Worrall 7.32
3 Chris Holder 7.16
4 Danny King 6.71
5 Jack Holder 5.69
6 Kacper Woryna 4.65
Total 39.94
Looking at a visit to Leicester on Sat 26th as part of the Cycle Speedway British Finals weekend. Looking on the website it says adult admissions are £17 plus a 50p online fee! Is it also £17 on the gate? If so why would anyone book online?
But surely the Promoters knew that was possible when they voted in the rules at the AGM! They've left no provisions for injury replacements after July, so means there will be more guests & r/r! If promoters couldn't forsee that happening, they have only themselves to blame!
I see Musielak has signed on his old EL ave of 4.53, i thought riders with old EL aves got new assesed averages if they didn't have a Premiership average, like what happened with Zengota & Kasprzak for example?
A Ellis would come into Div 2 on a 5.00 ave, would Sheffield prefer him to T Kurtz (5.00)?
J Graversen would come into Div 2 on a 4.13 ave, would Sheffield prefer him to R Branford (4.13)?
Z Wajtknecht would come into Div 2 on a 3.65 ave, another alternative to Branford?
The Championship is weaker than last years Premier League so it should have been easier for riders like JPB to step up! I think the NL getting weaker each year doesn't help youngsters improvement as it seems the step up to the Championship is larger each year! From the 42 ave that each team should in theory have, PL dropped to 40 & NL dropped to 39 so to step up a league next year will be more difficult right?
