Gazc Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 This is normally where someone will pipe up with the "He'll be on a bargain average next season" line usually.... Even on a 3 point average it would still be too high to be a bargain going by what i have seen so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 This is normally where someone will pipe up with the "He'll be on a bargain average next season" line usually.... Karol Zabik is available I believe for 2015, he's on a bargain average every season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAMYAMBANDIT Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) I believe for team building purposes the assessed average should be the lowest figure to be allowed. i.e. if a 7 assessed rider gets a 8.25 then team building is 8.25, if he drops from a 7 to a 5.45 then the team place ( riding number ) should be determined by the 5.45 but the team building figure will remain at 7. This will stop the 3, 4, 5, point no hoper foreigners in the premier league. I would rather take a chance on a no hoper Brit. I think we need affordable speedway. £10 entrance free for kids under 16 6 man teams genuine £45 a point for all riders - no exceptions. no add ons from promoters or club sponsors Any rider wants more - go Elite If no Elite - regionalise for 2 years - North and South. only season starting average can be used for guesting - not current one -this limits average manipualtion I would add:- Totaly re-vamped rule book, keeping the rules simple with no interpretation' Standardised engine (e.g GM), only tuned with standard parts from said company. Then the best rider wins, not the guy with the most money, should lead to closer more competetive racing, with less expense to the rider, helping to keep point money down for the clubs.

springdale Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Way too many poor foreigners clogging up team places. if you get rid of all the foreigners there won't be enough riders to go round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be asking riders to put their lives on the line for basically nothing every year unless they have major sponsorship behind them. I'm also for lower admission prices, but you have to remember most teams probably rent their tracks of the stadium owners, they wouldnt be able to stay afloat at £10 or is that just tough. And even with lower admission, it still won't bring crowds flocking back. Edited September 9, 2014 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Been a bit of a damp squib . Too weather affected leading to the present spate of double headers , too many foreign riders disappearing over to the continent at the weekend and missing their club's fixtures , and the doubling up/down thing has been a total shambles . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montie Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Not quite sure what any one can do about most things that we moan about really The weather..not alot anyone can do about that but I do feel meetings need to be given more of a chance to run Double uppers---not sure there is any option really as there just isn't enough quality riders about Crap over seas riders---- again who else can teams use..with points limit in place you will always get teams needing to use them and a certainly don't see any young Brits coming in to replace them that are good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
