Buxton V Kings Lynn 14/8/13

Oops sorry - changed now

 

It's nothing to worry about. I have made many similar mistakes over the years it's what they used to call "the error of the fat finger" - hitting the wrong keyboard and not noticing it. I've done it many times over the years.

I hope you have a good and enjoyable match today. At least it's unlikely to rain according to the weather foecasts.

I make Buxton's averages:

Wright 11.81

Atkin 7.75 (unchanged)

McKinna 6.54

Williamson 3.81

Carr 3.61 (unchanged)

Blacklock 3.51 (unchanged)

Woolley 3.00

 

I have to ask, but why is this allowed as LEGAL?

 

Average-wise the team fits but it would be good to know where Worrall & Kerr were, if we assume Lambert was in Germany.

Kerr is reserve for Newcastle at the Fours today.

 

Looking at the updates from Leicester last night it seems like Worrall (guesting for Edberg) had a couple of falls so could have picked up a knock.

Well, it gave Max a run out for Dudley and gave the KL ultimate RINGER a day off in Germany to play with being an U16 International with a very false NL average. Pity that the ringer will be used when it suites KL as opposed to today! No bad feelings as it fits KL's Play Off/KO Cup options!

Dreadful spectacle and utter waste of money, not to mention best part of an 8-hour round trip. Nobody's fault I guess, with King's Lynn being so understrength, although team manager Malcolm Vasey did his best to keep us in touch with his choices for TR rides. Couldn't make out the PA system at all on the 3rd/4th bend, because when the announcer spoke it was quite audible......when he could get it to work, but when the centre-green presenter spoke, he couldn't be heard at all, even when they bothered to turn the music off. I should imagine it must be a real struggle for the management at the moment in trying to get things like this put right, as they are trying desperately hard to raise the funds for an air fence, and that can't be easy on their crowd levels, as I've never seen them so low. I wish them luck though, and will say that this is the first time in all the years they've been running, that I've not enjoyed my visit.

I think Lynn use Robert Lambert when it suits Robert Lambert rather than when it suits Lynn. And why should he not ride in Germany at weekends? Far better for his development than NL.

It really is a farce when clubs, especially at this level, can put out a team with 3 guests plus R/R.

No wonder we are dis-illusioned with the sport!

Glad we had another commitment which prevented us from travelling a 280mile round trip which would have been a waste of time and money.

I think to be fair to the KL management, they didn't have much choice. Steve Worrall must have been an overnight decision post his crash at Leicester. Lewis Kerr would have been a late callup to the 4's after Christian Henry's crash at Leicester and Robert Lambert would have been a known absentee when he 'signed' for KL. Not sure about Lewis Rose though. A bit disappointing for the Lynn supporters after such good home performances but it looks like they fought well to get the score they did.

'17.5 NL Established MA’s is issued when a Rider completes 4 NL Meetings (irrespective of whether home or away) to be effective 7 days after the last qualifying Meeting.'

 

Shane Hazelden's effective average is 4.42, as per the BSPA greensheets, after he completed 4 meetings, similarly Rose has a new average. Though after KL's 5th league meeting (vs Mildenhall) all of Mallett, Kerr and Waldron rode their 4th meeting and should have new averages of 7.05, 6.94 and 3.20. Waldron is the interesting one though because the Mildenhall meeting was on July 3rd and yesterday's meeting was more than 7 days after this date so his 3.20 should have become effective, putting him at reserve and not Hazelden! I can't believe no-one has realised this so if I'm wrong please correct me but I can't see my error...

 

Edit: And while I'm on the subject of averages, Aaron Baseby should have a new average of 4.23, having completed his 4th meeting.

Islander its something to do with Waldron having and assesed average at the start of the season and I think there is a different rule that says assed riders new average comes into force 7 days after the 23rd of that month or something along those lines. to many rules is all i can say
