Bash Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 6.71/0.6 = 11.18 If this is correct! Will have points to play with after he gets new average but will there be enough matches left,too much of a risk IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIAMONDS Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 When Lambert gets a proper average would we be able to swap him for Schramm and still get the 3.00 now  Then the team would look like  1. Danny King 2. Robert Lambert 3. Stuart Robson 4. Lewis Kerr 5. Ludvig Lindgren 6. Lewis Rose 7. 3.00  All I can say is that is one of the strongest teams I have seen.

TheScotsman Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Err but if Lambert gets a proper average the PL conversion would be about a 9. Â You want to swap Schramm for a 9 pointer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Err but if Lambert gets a proper average the PL conversion would be about a 9. Â You want to swap Schramm for a 9 pointer?? I'd swap Schramm for a toaster and a cutlery set 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 surely a figure that he would outscore wouldnt be reasonable. A figure he woukd match would be reasonable!! Â All irrelevant anyway as he wont be able to double up whatever his average if the regs are applied. only two double-uperers,,, end ov !!! unless,,, Kings Lynn drop one of them,,, mmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC71 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 As bigcatdiary has already pointed out the reason he wasn't allowed to double up is in rule 17.4.1. No Elite League Club can have more than 2 doubling up riders, and as Kerr, and Rose are already doubling up, that rules any other Kings Lynn riders from doing so. (although there is also the issue regarding the assessed average.) As Danny King pointed out in his interview in this weeks Speedway Star, his average was low enough to double up, but he was unable to as Ben Barker, and Edward Kennett were using up Birmingham's quota. (Until Kennett was replaced) So if that is true, how did Belle Vue start the season with Cook, Worrall and Reade all in their side and all doubling-up with Edinburgh, Ipswich and Plymouth respectively? Â Or does this rule only count for top 5 EL riders and not the fast-track reserves? In which case King's Lynn & Newcastle are not breaking any rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo133 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) great move by the management shame the bspa stopped lambert signing, i would have posibly swapped rosen for lindgren as rosen has potential , and ludo wont improve further imo Edited May 9, 2014 by pablo133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJC71 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) thats not true... Fast track riders don't count towards doubling up quota Thought so and I can't believe such experienced promotions would miss such an obvious rule. This must be down to a technicality on assessed averages. Edited May 9, 2014 by NJC71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I thought that R Lambert bypassed riding in both the PL or NL because he thought that he was good enough to go straight into the EL without needing the experience from either of the lower leagues. Has he changed his mind? It seems that he's changed his mind about riding for GB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 He really doesn't get the principal of how it work When he gets a proper EL average it will be a 3.00 probably. Â 3.00 converted to a PL average is about 5.00. (correct me if I'm wrong with all of this) Â What I'm saying is if we could swap Schramm on 4.00 for Lambert on a 5.00 it'd be a bargain.

ruffdiamond Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 so really,,, as R Lambert would be a new PL rider, his criteria should allow him to come in on a 3 pt ave ??? he has'nt actually got an EL ave, (yet),,, so why can't he be signed before he has ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His average will be over 5 which when converted will rule him out although there appears to be some rule whereby he can't double down regardless because he doesn't have a true PL average or something like that. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
