  1. Newcastle Redcar Berwick Plymouth Scunthorpe Workington Somerset what do all these teams have in common? Fans on each of those teams threads have wanted Richie Worrall included in their team. I wonder why? Enough said.
  2. British summer time or GMT - just so I have the right conversion rate for my watch. wink
  3. I reckon no Rohan means Morten in along with RitchieH instead of my Blackbird pick and another 5 pointer instead of the 3 pointer!
  4. Yeah I had factored in reduction for the less experienced Brits which I assume continues.
  5. I gonna have one last go before (hopefully!) we hear the final news. King Tungate Blackbird Manzares Heeps Ellis Greenwood
  6. which just goes to show how much of a knife edge many clubs are on. The fighting fund is 1 meeting short. If you divide it through the season it would be about 30 on the attendence each week which seems like nothing but could be the difference between running or not.
  7. he doesnt qualify for the draft system though does he! wink
  8. perhaps he has heard Morten has signed for Sheffield!
  9. Cant see Cam being anywhere other than back at Foxhall so cross that name off the list.
  10. but that would indicate that even if the £40k fans target was reached they would pull out if no main sponsor was found. That isnt how it was set out in the appeal.Fingers crossed there is a happy ending.
  11. Anyone got news as to whether Arthur Sissis has been practising / ridden in any meetings?
  12. Looked very ropey at Foxhall but I think they were his first laps on a speedway bike for years. Not sure how his other practice went. Must be some meetings in Oz soon. If he is seriously giving it a go would have thought he was taking every possible opportunity. No news on the international section????
  13. There has to be at least one more new face for the numbers to fit.
  14. to an extent the actual conversion rate is almost irrelevant to the debate. It is the fact that it was not communicated that is the issue. Can you imagine that when football changed the offside rule if the first the fans knew about it was when the flag didnt do up in a game.
  15. thats why I put Steves name in speech marks.It wasnt meant that Adam could put 4.5 on his average in a literal sense more he could make that significant breakthrough to the next level. Cant argue with the over riding / falling needing to be eradicated but thats what learning is about.
  16. thats not what I said. Josh G and Rohan are simply a good comparison as they have very similar PL averages in 2014 and had similar 2013 averages in the EL. They are therefore an excellent example to guage the conversion rate. Under the new regs they would have very similar PL averages but Rohan would be a point and a half lower in the EL.
  17. but using the logic for the change downwards it should be applied both ways. If it is so much easier to score points in the second string position in the EL . By the new rules for example Josh G is too good to drop down if he didnt already d/u at about 6.5 His PL average 8.11. So if Rohan Tungate wants to move up - PL average 8.36 very similar to JG. In the 'old world' he did d/u in the same team as JG with a sinikar average. Had the new conversion rate been applied both ways his ne EL average would be about 6. Leaving the upward rate as was he would be about 5.
  18. So the rate change is only one way which would be better news for any PL riders looking to go Elite for the first time. So at least Poole get Brady Kurtz at a point lower than it would've been with a complete change!
  19. he could be 2015s 'Steve Worrall'I hope he is and preferably as a Witch but even if he ends up elsewhere I hope so too. British speedway needs a few more like him.
  20. arguably the best 3 pointer that was available. If the full 1-7 turns out as expected then it will likely start as one of the favourites but still a couple of ifs and maybes that could upset the applecart.
  21. the calculation is easy but only if you know the numbers to use.The new conversion rate only surfaced with the announcement of the signing of Hansen. I suppose it was a toss up as to what subject got the last sentence space. 1) The pivotal to team building revised conversion rate 2)The yellow black helmet cover return No brainer really isnt it!
