  1. Yes it is. His average is 4.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 To have an average rounded to, but not equal to, 4.00 he would have to have at least 800 rides, that works out at least 40 per match
  2. So what has Phil Morris done wrong or failed to do?
  3. But if the BSPL propaganda is to be believed we already have that in Phil Morris.
  4. I'm well aware of the initial announcement, but I've seen little evidence of that happening in practice.
  5. Is he? I've seen no evidence he is responsible for anything other than the smooth running of TV meetings. I would assume application of rules surrounding facilities remains within Neil Vatcher's purview. I ask, because seriously, I have no idea what Phil's job description is.
  6. Or perhaps Lisa-colette is just selectively quoting a few unrepresentative opinions. Every team has fans that make absurd comments. Personally as an Oxford fan I still think that Poole have the best constructed team in the league and once Steve Worrall finds his Wolves form for the Pirates they will be near unbeatable. Last time I saw Poole before Wednesday they were winning at highly fancied Redcar - hardly the mark of a slump.
  7. 6.81 v 2.84 that's a huge variance http://www.gbspeedway.com/2023/riderperf.php?mc1=x&mc2=ta&mc3=pf&mc4=Oxford Cheetahs&rider=Cameron Heeps&league=B&sort=date&comp=All&club=Oxford Cheetahs
  8. Although that hides a significant uptick in his home form and an alarmIng drop in his away form.
  9. Firstly the CMA is 4 as the point of the calculation is to normalise for the number of rides taken, and secondly if you are going to suggest I am mathematically challenged you really should be aware that I have a degree in Maths.
  10. Not necessarily, it depends which heats you take those rides in.
  11. You appear to be suggesting giving your weaker reserve three rides and your strongest reserve five - not sure about that as strategy. I agree there are circumstances where encouraging a rider to break the tapes could be helpful in lowering averages. I guess you'd like the system the Poles used to use where they simply ignored the reserve race in calculating averages.
  12. And some simply realised that there was more to life than speedway [Ian Dury helpfully provided a list of popular alternatives]
  13. And yet they ran twice a week (Tuesday and Wednesday) a couple of times last year and there is nothing to preclude moving their race night to Thursdays.
  14. Great final race and a truly dominant performance from Cierniak. A good night's speedway that seemed unlikely after the near two hour delay.
  15. Heeps is an odd one, he's up slightly but that hides a massive 2 point improvement at home and a 1 1/2 point drop away. Still a match winner at Berwick though in heats 7 & 8.
  16. Not sure who you mean, but I'd guess someone like Ben Trigger (who won a meeting in Belgium last season), or Sam Hagon (who I saw in the Golden Ribbon at Pardubice last year). And I'd reiterate that they almost certainly benefitted from their experiences. What would improve matters would be a Championship set up that made it easier for the likes of Trigger and Hagon to step up from the NDL.
  17. All tournaments are invented. Riding abroad broadens a rider's experience and is generally beneficial.
  18. In number yes, but the intrepid visitors fro Plymouth a few weeks ago were making more noise than your lot were for most of the evening. But hey it's just one match and over the course of the season I'd still put my money on Poole to take the title. Three away wins in a fortnight, top of the league, victory over fiercest rivals - these are pretty much regular events for you guys at Poole but for Oxford's fans who didn't see a wheel turned in 15 long years it is a joyful thing of unimaginable proportion. Sometimes it isn't about you.
  19. Not a chance, it'll either be food poisoning or kidnapped by aliens.
  20. Although in a rematch Oxford would be at full strength (only 4 out of r/r last night)
