would be a popular choice Has he started to folliw the club or Chris Louis on Twitter? Thats often a good indicater. ☺

thought I saw last year that Wells had too. Must have misunderstood his comments about passing the test....

wouldve been easier in Norfolk - less houses needing be visited to achieve the total.

and there was me thinking the first part of the counting challenge would test you jenga let alone the second 😛😆👍

I would be surprised too. Which Scunny rider you thinking of? Cant think of one that wouldve increased from the original assessed to be a similar case.

thats the Monarchs default position so I bow yo your superior knowledge/experience of such matters. 😜

well the Witches need a decent 2 pointer. He may just enjoy it enough on Thursday that he wants to stay.

dont both Wells and Davey have British citizenships? 😉

From a selfish team perspective it would make the idea of getting him the revised average from his 7 meetings desirable (currently 4.57) if we have to redeclare. Particularly as he has had the 4 away and is averaging over 7 at home it is hardly over egging the figure. Looking at it from his point of view especially if it turns out he misses the season that would mean him being a less attractive prospect than his current 2. A classic problem for many 2nd season British youngsters. (First on my team sheet even on that higher figure btw)

Surely if Holder rides enough to get a revised average you keep him. He can only get better. He becomes a rider than could add 2-3 points to his average. Then use the spare points to upgrade from Bailey who is very unlikely to up his average at all let alone 2-3 points. May seem harsh but thats the way to win.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. No doubt Adam regrets trying those now. I will be the first to admit I have zero mechanical knowledge (I leave that to bruv) It never ceases to amaze me the frustrations that can be caused by what seems to be the simplest of problems so to have a completely new design playing up must be a nightmare.

Must admit I would be a bit concerned if it is Skornicki going on his start to this year. However just how much was down to equipment and how much was down to him is hard to judge from outside. No doubting his quality previously but is that still in him?

on a 2..

well Thursday is James Shanes.

yes that would be the case - he has earned it.

with Chris joining Foz on Radio Suffolk at 5.50 tonight to announce there will be an announcement tomorrow 😆😆

your changes were before May 1st so regs dont allow for awarding new average to all at that time. SR1705 also in effect now meaning 40 in place all season at Championship level rather than revised 42 that appeared in original regs. From now )May 1st) new should apply to all upon redeclaration.

totally agree - the aim should be for the averages to be as accurate a reflection of the true team strength as us possible. A mix of old and new would not do that. I think that ANY team that redeclares after May 1st should have ALL the riders awarded new figures in line with meetings/rides to date.

I think thats only for the start of the season. Will establish new Prem and Champ averges separately once the 4h 4a reached.

suggestions elsewhere have been that as the Witches moaned when it was wet and deep for the Cup match that Havelock tried to recreate the conditions and got it spectacularly wrong!! 😆

thanks SCB - for the life of me I couldnt think of any specific incident. The fact there has been such precedent only backs up my point.

Youre right I dont think this reg has been invoked before but this season is a bit different. ALL riders will receive a new average from just their 2017 meetings. Had full rolling averages been in place there wouldve been a genuine average to use. Also should be taken into account that he missed the meeting in circumstances where no facility was available and not due to injury or for a meting considered acceptable within the regs. Berwick should not benefit to the tune of 2 points when redeclaring as a result of this scenario IMO.

perhaps 'brakes' have been your problem 😜☺

Every other promoter in the league should object if this is attempted.Like for like or Gappmaier to be on his 6 acheived IMO.

Gappmaier should get the average if you dont make like for like switch. The points limit is a farce if not.
