The priority rule was adjusted slightly last year so that if a rider was an asset of a PL team the PL gets priority and vice versa. The rider didnt need to be riding for the team he was an asset of.

no he doesnt. He has had more than 1 season out of the PL and so would have to use the EL converted average. Which is too high......

I seem to have missed something.... Why is there one less LCup group meeting? Have the groups changed?

you know that puppet your mum bought you?I think it may have got more kicks in on you than the other way round........

i must say though that i dont really blame the clubs.If they offered say a 20% discount yes they may sell a few hundred rather than a few dozen but none would be to new fans and the club would just be out of pocket.

Speedway season tickets are not for those looking to save money. Generally they are more of a 'charity donation' of upfront payment. A free programme offer doesnt appeal to those of us that dont buy them either!

Re the clues always being a misdirection surely at some point one has to be true even if only to keep people guessing in the future. If not everyone just ignores it as BS.....

I think the 4 meeting adjustment is only in the EL in order to deal with the draft riders now getting official averages. I think the PL is still 4 home 4 away.

they will count and he should get his nice new lower average at about the end of the league cup group matches.Just in time for the 'real' PL campaign.......

Could Scunny be improved by adding some more CAMBer to the track??

all averaging around 7? wink

I think thats a tidy side and should be very competitive. Its a shames that Rose didnt still fit (i have long been an advocate of Brit only reserves) I hope he gets a place elsewhere. If Brit riders like Rose Ash Branford etc dont get places then the new No7 rule has failed IMO. Sarjeant is a good signing - certainly further improvement in him.

shame the season doesnt start til March then!

Due to Swindon choosing Stefan Nielsen in the EL draft the Witches have it seems had to change the plan to use Lewis Rose. Castagna in for us so we can now fit in Sarjeant.

that will be Edinburgh in 2016! wink

I would never say that JL is anything other than straight as a die. My point was that a press release wasnt going to say anything other than the 'party line' I also agree that the critisism of Phil was harsh. Whether you agreed with his decisions or not at least he was prepared to make them and stand by them which is what you want from a manager.

well perhaps the team announced tomorrow will cheer you up!

Politicians and press releases - i promise to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth! lol

Looking forward is certainly best. Im sure we will see a wide variety of opinion as to how good the side is - as Baldyman says!

youve previously mentioned that its not always a simple as it appears with decisions in the heat of a meeting... the situation you outline may well be just one of those times.....

first average in 2013 so discount in 14,15 and 16....

a bit harsh HKP Ritchie made mistakes last year but as with most situations it wasnt all one way. Easy to forget the previous years and his contribution as captain.

4.04 i think - certainly not much different to that.

2 things that could change that 1 - brit reduction 2 - change in number of meetings used in calculation of rolling averages from the year he achieved 4.67. Is the reduction applied now or at first recalculation?

i think he is good friends with Cam but Cam not likely to be at Ipswich....
