Ricky Wells - I think he could be a 9 point rider with Foxhall for a home track.

6.25 then I say. Weaker league now and he has developed further.

Hope Chris has got an unlimited calls package for his mobile then.

his shoukd go up then - the league has weakened and he has developed.

Of course back in the 50's there would have been 6 threads each with 20,000 posts a week eh Gustix!?

Will interesting to see if any rider chooses the SEC over the GP. If the money is so much better as some have hinted then its bound to tempt some.

So long as there is consistency and his situation meets the guidelines/rules then no worries.

It has been debated on another thread and the fact that he has ridden in the top Danish League already may have an impact on his starting average.

No offence but I hope they dont. In fact quite the opposite - the restrictions should remain as tight as possible. Also any non Brit joining the PL should not br able to drop below their initial assessed average. That way if they are good enough to add something to the league they will find a place and if not they wont block a space to give a young Brit a chance.

but there is a big difference between requesting confirmation and requesting reassessment.

but the inference is that Coventry have requested the reassessment - they wouldnt do that if they thought it would go up. Now if it had been stated that the reassessment was a standard requirement due to his abscence in line with the rules then fair enough but it wasnt. There has to be a constant - no 'requests' - its either a rule or it isnt is how it shpuld be.

can only work IMO when used to add more teams and not as a cost cutting tool. Should the EL only rise to 11 teams then 40/41 would be appropriate with 12 38/39. After the first season if there are no further additions it should return to 42+

Youve posted 5 months too early Gavan!

Whenever the set period would end I would be surprised if there wasnt a proviso for a change should there be a shift in team numbers.

Seems EL promoters dont want to learn. Coventry have announced the signings of Harris and Hansen and have already requested an average reassessment for Hansen!! If this is how its still going to be then we are best off out of it.

A wonderful service that is much appreciated. Many thanks to all involved.

is it me youre looking for? anyone know the next line?

subscribers?

I agree this thread is testing! wink!

This is the type of situation that gives me reservations about my Witches potentially moving back to the EL. Why would Hansen be reassessed? This type of attempted manipulation is exactly what many of the problems/arguments have arisen in recent years. If these games are still to be part of it then Id rather we stay put in the PL.

No surprise that the likes of Dudek are not interested in the UK then! Equally surprising that someone such as Cook (not critisizing him) cant get a place. You would think that he and others could 'undercut' and still make a decent living. Obviously the Polish tracks dont see the money possibly saved as a good enough reason to give then a go.

£900 a point!?! Is there really ANY rider on that sought of deal anyway that means a cap is needed?

they would be the bookies favourite to take the drop. would allow them to have more regular weekend racing and could cover the costs on their reported 700 crowds.the travel would hell though for any locals!

Apparently Mick Horton on a Coventry phone has intimated that there would be 11 teams in the Elite next year. Given that Leicester seemed nailed on to join either the Witches are staying put or an existing is dropping out.

Well done to Somerset - deserving 2013 champions.
