tocha Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) I don't believe this team will be anywhere as poor as some have made it out to be. The retained riders from the 2012 season did not compete as a unit prior to the home match against Edinburgh. Beforehand, riders were missing through injury or not signed by then. Therefore, you need to see how they and the team performed from that match and beyond. There were six fixtures in all, three at home and three away. These resulted in maximum points achieved at home and three away, a draw at Sheffield, and a one point loss at Ipswich. RR was used for the injured Luke Bowen then a selection of guests #1 who scored no more than I would expect of Olly Allen. Then I worked out the averages for this period:- Jason Bunyan 7.45 Anders Mellgren 6.79 Jason Garrity 6.13 Simon Lambert 6.00 Kasper Lykke 5.08 If you add Nelson's average of 5.33 brought forward from 2011 and Olly's 9.62 for 2013 then, potentially, the starting line-up equates to 46.40. All theoretical but you never know. Edited December 17, 2012 by tocha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossMan Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I don’t get Speedway Star during the winter but I’ve been told in this weeks letter section a few people have disagreed with some stuff Len was saying – anyone know any more as my source is now away until the New Year – thanks. I would also like to wish everyone on this forum a very Merry Christmas a very prosperous New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) I don’t get Speedway Star during the winter but I’ve been told in this weeks letter section a few people have disagreed with some stuff Len was saying Not surprised. Silver's article in the Mercury slagging off some of his own supporters had several errors. I stop short of saying lies, because I'm giving the old boy the benefit of the doubt due to his advancing years. You'd have thought that a promoter would be trying his hardest to attract new and lapsed supporters to Hoddesdon instead of alienating the hardcore fans that remain.

Shadders Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Ricky Kling signs for Plymouth. I had a hunch we'd sign him on that handy average. Either he didn't fancy us, he was asking for too much, or Silver reckons Simon Lambert is the better option Edited December 23, 2012 by Shadders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he didn't fancy us, he was asking for too much, or Silver reckons Simon Lambert is the better option Ah, but you're forgetting that one vital away match (sheffield) where he'll score between 8 and 10 points and that will justify the faith shown in him......nevermind the string of zeros every other match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr averaged over 9 points during the last handful of league meetings and looked a real star in the making. Unfortunately the 1986 season saw him average around half that Edited December 24, 2012 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's a cut off date for his arrival in the UK, so we don't have to go through that whole charade in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wonder if they use the tag system in Oz. He did a good job hiding that shiner behind those massive shades at the 2011 press and practice. He will find a tag a little more difficult to conceal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
