No reason why Berwick shouldn't redeclare their lineup, provided it is within the league rules. Don't get the "best interest of the sport" being let's ignore the rules we have in place to favour any specified team

It not being changed it is being used to calculate the whole team, and my understanding of the rule is to stop teams (and I don't mean Berwick in this instance) having a rider miss a meeting so his average doesn't go up, when others come down and then make changes. It just so happens it applies to Berwick and as previous posts states, it allows an anomaly for Berwick to build to nearer 42. It all comes back to restarting the rolling averages and having new "real" ones after 4H 4A

That is why there is little publicity about lineups any chance of a close meeting gone!

Riss - yes BWD - yes Williamson - No the Gapp man - jury is out Nielsen - yes

Don't know why should be different, but you have to go with official issued average which is 7.26

Could fit Ayres in if we redeclared and dropped Busch - for example Garcia & Ayres would fit, Busch and ayres wouldn't I think the key is how realistic is a Busch return at some point this season, if it is doubtful them we really need to change now - especially as Garcia's 28 day spell ends next week. As with everyone I've been very impressed with everything the new promotion have done so far, but next week or so is probably their biggest test so far in how the club goes forward!

Q1. How many meetings will ellis perks ride for Buxton this season ? Zero Q2. Who will finish bottom of the NL ? Buxton Q3. Who will finish top (not win the play off ) ? Belle Vue Q4. who will end the season topping the Nl averages ? Steve Boxall Q5. Which current nl rider will end the season with the highest championship average ? Ellis Perks Q Q6. Which west midlands (birmingham,cradley) rider finishes the season with the highest average? Parkinson-Blackburn

If worrall gates bears won't catch him, if he doesn't gate he won't catch bears - unfortunately he often gates!

That is what your promotion will be saying at the end of the season!

I would expect a Worrall to be included,although with the current level of decision making going on at Berwick it may just be Berge brought back!!

Getting back to original thought maybe it should be R for raced/ridden Have to say I'm more interested in the numbers than the letters and I think it will be a while before Berwick do start to reduce there minus figure!

And based on that average he wouldn't be a reserve and so ineligible for the debate!

This is exactly why rule is in place about MC giving a new assessed average for any riders not having completed required matches when whole team is redeclared. Virtually guaranteed he will be put on higher average!

Agreed, most knew Perks should have it, but if you were new to speedway, garrity was the more spectacular rider, and therefore arguably more entertaining. Perks was just ultra efficient and unexpected

Ironic that the picture on BSPA website actually shows JBA in action in heat 7!

If referee's official scorecard says Perks, it was Perks! Doesn't matter if everyone else states that is not the case!

Not tonight !

Of course the up side is that once his average goes up (and it will probably be a substantial rise) you can then get a much better guest when he is doubling up!

So the track wasn't "doctored" in any way to favour home team , as there was no need to due to Panthers not being good enough to warrant such measures. That has to be the comment of the season so far!

Really!

Who voted for Scunthorpe

OK - pick any Ippo rider who is in the team on Thursday you like and I'll bet Garcia doesn't outscore them on the night, in fact you can name two Ippo riders If he puts in a performance like Holder on Monday then Ipswich are in for a hell of a thrashing

Don't get too worried, Panthers was a cup match so they didn't get any points! This 28 day period is the ideal time to race against Bears as effectively we have been a 6 man team, unless Garcia shows vast improvement he will extend his finishing last sequence at MPA beyond the current 10 races with ease! If Bears/Panthers had been at full strength for the whole tie Bears would have progressed to the next round, Having said that I also think Ippo are considerably weaker with Newman out, but at least in Sarjeant you have a possibility of some points return! Could be close, hoping for a good Bears win, but may be down to Hume & Mountain!

Unfortunately I see the changes since first leg favour Panthers big time and that will be the difference tonight, Bears will sneak meeting 47-43, with Lunna key difference!

You don't have to wait for the diamonds to come calling: pop down anytime!!
