he doesnt have an EL average.Draft riders not awarded averages hence the EL using PL conversion this year.

I dont disagree that we have struggled in those afternoon meetings when the sun shines but to rule out those two meetings would mean foregoing about a quarter of the whole seasons income.You have mentioned the thinning crowds on the terraces so can we afford to give up meetings that attract 3x the normal turnout?

about half a point over the limit I think....

could end up with 2 Richies then.....

Too many heatkeaders??? Although as we dont know the list and gow it will be adminstered perhaps not... Hypothetical - say Hans is listed at 24 on the list. Buzz not on original list. Buzz in and rated as heat leader. Does Hans stay a heat leader or drop off he list?? You can of course switch the names for other team scenarios eg King at Cov perhaps

Each club chooses how it wants to announce the team - some 1 by 1 week by week and others all in one go. Chris has been clear he wanted to name all 7 together when finalised.

had to check I was on the right thread - for a second thought Id clicked on Leicester by mistake! wink

NO! I dont see how anyone could read that as the situation -Unless you are trying to push a negative personal agenda......

ah well - just an off the cuff guess... Edberg instead??

surely if any draft rider is 'sacked' they would have to be replaced by another draft rider and not a foreigner.....

or a change of PL team as opposed to clarification of fixture clashes.....The potential of a clash every Thursday was never gonna work!

i didnt say it was vindictive , just not necessary.I echo the good luck message to Stefan.

Aspegren and Barrett....

I didnt agree with Beerhut naming Phil and have posted that more than once.

Brit reduction was/is for the 3 seasons after first stepping up from NL set at 2.5%.

of course it wasnt official or it wouldve been a formal announcement.I didnt agree with Beerhut naming Phil and told him so but posting what he was told (not directly from Phil and you know that without asking twice) was exactly what the forum thrives on. The BSPA/club website is the place to look at if you only want official news.

even if it does end up different that doesnt mean the 1-7 was misheard and doesnt mean it wasnt the intended/expected 1-7.It just means it wasnt signed and hence wasnt formally announced. Which is exactly what we did already know...

Edinburgh?? lol Just realised one glaring ommission from my other post - Adam Ellis.

Ash 4.53 Rose 3.84 Stefan was 4.74. If both Kerr and Rose get reduction then I think we would have 4.95. If they dont then tge leaked 7 didnt fit anyway! Not a lot of choice in the just under 5 range. Berge Aspergren Wright Wilson Stickhauer the other Nielsen Graversen Bowen Lunna - a few of these retired/not available anyway. After that you drop a point to Branford Barrett Edberg Sissis Castagna Hawkins Konopka My twitter mole did see Ritchie tweet last week - new job #backithegame....... if we sign Simon we may as well rebrand as Ipswich Diamonds!!

I would imagine that Ashley in place of Stefan seems the straightforward change . I havent worked out what it would leave us with assuming the other 6 remain correct so not able to assess different options.

Or maybe thats why Chris had been saying not all riders had actually been signed even though the team was effectively complete and explains why there could be no official announcenent .....

i suppose as Norfolk has barely moved into the 21st century we cant expect you to be up to date with last weeks news ! wink

not a very exclusive club according to some!

publically Chris Louis has only announced that 5 have been signed (no names) so anything is still possible.

unless the rule has been removed he should.The leaked Witches side I think needs it to still be applied in order to fit..... Top signing - worth the gamble despite the supposed commitment issues and the alledged price tag IMO
