Shale Searcher Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Ok fellow methanol fans, how and when will this happen? At the moment there's a group of reserves that are good enough to hold down elite league second string births....... When can this actually happen and what will the procedure be to leave the scheme? For example, if say Dakota North got injured and was going to be out long term or rest of season, what would happen if Swindon wanted to replace him with say Jason Garrity or Lewis Kerr or even promote Steve Worrall? The names/clubs are just for examples sake.... Edited July 3, 2014 by Shale Searcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads who have done it this season have done not a lot really in terms of the points they get from reserve. The interesting thing is what happens next season as the likes of Blackbird, Newman, Garrity, Kerr & Worrall will just clean up even more than this season.

G the Bee Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I don't think it's a real problem. The fast track system was never going to turn every rider in it into one who is capable of making an impact in the EL. In the same vein, some riders were going to thrive and others were going to take a little time to get going. Next season, a batch of riders such as Garrity, Blackbird, Worrall, Newman, Blackbird and Kerr should be moved out of the fast-track system. They would be given the option of moving up into the 1-5 of the team they have represented this season. If they stay with the team they have represented this season, then they will be given an attractive average based on their FTD average (say between 3.5 and 4 points depending on the rider) and a pay guarantee. In order to stop the richer clubs snapping up the best newly promoted FTD riders on low averages, there needs to be an average conversion which is not so generous should a rider decide to move clubs (perhaps based on a conversion of their PL average or a less generous conversion of their FTD average from this season). Then the fast-track draft system would continue again, as it did this year, with new riders coming in to replace the XX amount of riders who have been removed from the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just let any FTR move into the 1-5 on a 3 point average. It's no different to riders moving from EL to PL. Some intensive towards sticking with the FTRs then. But if you drop them at any point in the season, you can only replace with with a 3 pointer - or you'll have them move into the 1-5, average 5 or 6 and drop them for a real 5-6 point rider.

john birch Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 The top fast track riders like Blackbird, Kerr and several others should move up into the top five to be augmented by Auty, Birks, Roynon etc. That's a possible proposal anyway.

waiheke1 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Or they stay in the fast track system snd you also bring in the others u mention, so the standard of reserves get stronger not weaker. And have a cut off of 3 seasons or turning 21/3, whichever comes later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
