  1. And there was me thinking that GRW123 chose that username because that was as far as they could count..... 😛 Point 2 is flawed - all things being equal the 14.28 wont automatically be lost. Infact the standard drop will be about half that. PS In the exam 'pi$$ing contest' I also got O Level maths at 15 and A at Level 17. To fill the six months after the O Level I took an O Level Statistics and got grade A in the following June. 👅👅
  2. I dont think you have grasped the impact of the multiplier. It was to equalise the comparative figures from each league. Therefore it doesnt matter whether a teams 7 are all former EL all former PL or any mix inbetween. It has also been shown on various threads by those with extensive statistical nouse that barring a minimal number of anomilies (eg Klindt) it was a very good fit for actual performances.
  3. unfortunately doesnt mean a guarantee it will turn out that way. Bound to be more twists and turns in the sorry saga before the conclusion either way. But at least there does appear to still be some hope
  4. Bruv has been with Danny today and as it stands right now he is still signed to the Bees and isnt looking or able to sign elsewhere as the official line is still that Coventry will run.
  5. too right - an icy pole doesnt half chafe the thighs 😲
  6. Im not mixed up at all. In 'old money' a 9 point 2nd tier rider would convert to 6.43 but this year have to use the 9. So even a team with 7 old 2nd tier riders adding up to 50 is really still 36 'in old money'
  7. 50 was not too high. With the weighting it was really about 36 'in old money' so actually very low. When the new averages come into force all 2016 meetings drop out of the calculation. 42 points is then the crude average for each side for a 45-45 draw (it will be skewed by some riders having 5 rides and others 3 but lets not complicate it too much!) So in reality a drop from 50 to 42 and removing the 1.4 weighting is actually a rise in limit albeit just from a statistical mirage!
  8. talking from personal experience there are you j? 😢
  9. Be careful if out driving today - conditions are terrible. Ive just come off the road and hit a Panthers fan.... ...went through two fields and across a golf course but I got him in the end. 😆😈
  10. think of the foreplay though with all the 'gardening at the gate' before tge 'race' starts 😲
  11. pretty ruddy special..... Say it in a Rik from The Young Ones voice... 😂😆 or it could just be a Polish manufacturing company
  12. have to agree with you - after all we have altered the track just for Mr Masters.... he is bound to love it and score a max 😛
  13. i have since checked the BSPA listing.His final average listing for 2015 was 6.72. Yeah Id let you have him on 3.3..... 😂😂
  14. havent even heard of that case! Quite ridiculous and it seems from subsequent replies that it was rightly shelved. The Coventry stadium is very different. A genuine local amenity with strong long term heritage and one that at least deserves consideration for funding. Ultimately the local 'powers that be' would have to decide if it is deserving enough for some discretional funding but either way it would not impact those other services.
  15. isnt the schools and health care arguement a bit if a red herring? Budgets for these are separate and ringfenced - any funds for a sporting stadium would have no impact on those areas.
  16. Would love to se Scot back as a Witch. Think the only way to have included him wouldve been to move up. Im glad overall a move up wasnt made despite the prospect of closer rivals if we did.
  17. equally there will be speedway fans that dont have kids/elderly in care/drive a car - why should they pay for schools/homes/roads. Council spending is much more complex than 'do i get out what i put in' particularly when it comes to sport, heritage or culture.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzpKmdVuiDQ This one for example
  19. 5 youtube has a few heats from a number of the state meetings.Search WA SA QLD solos....
  20. a toss up as to which will be more depressing.... 😩
  21. and the world will be able to suffer them too by tuning into BBC1 next Tuesday for the FA Cup reply against Lincoln. ⚽😪
  22. nearly had me fooled j - was close to taking the bait hook line and sinker. Just one oart tripped you up - you took it too far claiming Campton would get above 5 😜 stadium upgrade during the winter - revolving door installed on the changing rooms.... 😆😛
