Najjer Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 This is not a pop at the new promotion because it looked a decent team on paper before the season started. No it didn't - it looked as bad on paper as what it's turned out to be on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 It was a risky team that sacked a risky rider for a crap rider. Turns out he's been even crapper than even some of us who thought he (Proctor) would be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 so do sjeffield have more clout than newcastle when it comes to dealing with the bspa, or have i missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Proctor is having a nightmare time in the PL. Robert Lambert was going to sign for Newcastle but the BSPA turned permission down so maybe if Sheffield come in with an offer then young Robert might be tempted. Whatever the reasons that stopped Lambert from signing for Newcastle are still there surely, if they weren't I`m sure Newcastle would have him in their 1-7 as quick as you could say management committee.

Fromafar Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The BSPA rejected the Diamonds initial 1-7 that included Robert Lambert. Surely the only reason why the BSPA rejected the 1-7 was because Robert's average didn't fit?I thought he was rejected because a rider with an assessed average could not double up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The BSPA rejected the Diamonds initial 1-7 that included Robert Lambert. Surely the only reason why the BSPA rejected the 1-7 was because Robert's average didn't fit? Nope because he is an assessed rider in the EL he can't double down until he get a proper average in the EL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Nope because he is an assessed rider in the EL he can't double down until he get a proper average in the EL. According to the BSPA site Lamberts average is now 5-79, so you`d think he can double up with a PL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 According to the BSPA site Lamberts average is now 5-79, so you`d think he can double up with a PL team. If it's allowed that average converts to 9.26 I think. That's a big risk for a premier league to take at this stage of his career as he would be straight in at No 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The rule actually states that the rider must have an established CMA from the previous season so even now that Lambert has an average he still cant double up this year. It may be a silly rule but it there and cant be changed mid season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 According the 2014 Green sheet averages on Sheffield website, the current team total is 38.45, giving us approximately 4 points to make up. If Sheffield make a good change, and the under performing riders start to pull their weight, could be awesome team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Implied in local paper two changes to be made when new averages come out (which should be soon). Should ensure best efforts in the Peterborough match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur cross Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Surely not even the fresh averages for July are going to get Ty Proctor off his 9.22 calculated average from the Elite League because he's only ridden 2 Sheffield home meetings (instead of the required 4 for a PL-only average) before Monday's cut-off date (the 23rd of the previous month) for those July averages to be calculated and published. The Scunthorpe (May 15th) and Glasgow League meetings are the only Owlerton average-counters that he's ridden in because he was busy with Wolves for the Scunthorpe (June 12th) League meeting. Last Thursday was the 2nd leg of the League Cup semi-final against Edinburgh and only the group meetings of that competition are average-counters (on the basis they're the only meetings in that competition that every team's going to have) so Proctor didn't tick off his 3rd home meeting there ! What's more, he still won't tick off number-3 this Thursday in the much-delayed KO-Cup tie with Berwick as none of that competition's meetings are average-counters either ! So, by my reckoning, even if the weather behaves itself, his PL-only average won't emerge until after he's ridden at home to both Rye House (July 3rd) and Newcastle (July 17th) as there's no home meeting on July 10th. Newcastle are in a similar situation with a lack of away meetings meaning Danny King's 11+ PL-average converted from an EL-figure also can't become a PL-only average until mid-July even though he joined them in the same week Proctor eventually joined Sheffield ... in fact, Proctor and King could well both finally pick up their PL-only averages as soon as they've finished racing against each other in that July 17th encounter.

Andrew Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Ty did one home and two away Pl meetings for Plymouth last saeaon that will make up his four home and four away rolling average after Rye next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
