BluPanther Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I would imagine your new signing will be doubling up probably already riding el imo Could only be Fricke, Porsing, Bech or Thorsell if that's the case, and that's if they fit average wise..

Lukas Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I can wait but I'd have rather have signed 2 6 point riders than have another crap reserve..hope its not Grondal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Well sod me!! I asked ages ago if this meeting would go ahead because 'Just Dogs Live' was on that weekend and was told yes it would so we decided to kill two birds with one stone and go to both on the Sunday rather than making 2 trips to Peterborough. Bah!! Our fixture list has been our fixture aspirations for years. Due to the joys of Sunday speedway you now get the full Peterborough speedway experience. Allegedly the landlords will not let us have the date which they must have previously offered in full knowledge of the dog event? Rumour is that the Panthers mascot is in the doggy high jump competition to confirm that nobody jumps higher at the EoES than we do. The club have confirmed that a signing is imminent and hope to announce within 24 hours Have they? There's jack on the website. Lukas, feel that it would be wrong to say who it is, perhaps should have said nothing. True. Edited June 29, 2015 by Crump99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Over on the Poole thread Dakota North is getting some criticism from his own fans could he be the one would his average go from his PL days or the hear and now average from the EL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes July 12th was one of the dates the Panthers were given and the landlords must have known 'Just Dogs Live' was on the same date as long as I have, which is almost 12 months. Can't see what the problem is with a 5pm start time for the speedway as I should think the dog show would be over by then and I can't remember them using any area near the track before anyway.

jenga Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) he will get swallowed up by the pl guys. as we all know, the pl is stronger than the lite league. cats just got weaker. Kenneth Hanson came into the pl on a converted el average of 7.70 and found it a bit tougher than he thought. now averaging around 5.00. still when tortoise shell gets his proper average, maybe 4.50. Peterborough can get rid of the B.S.A. boy and replace him with a.n. other. by that time the league will be lost.

northyorksbear Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Jacob Thorssell is Peterborough's new signing. I didn't see that one coming If this is true, then it appears rules have been ignored again When looking to convert an EL riders average to PL rules state 18.6.4 If a Rider has only an EL Established MA from the previous season, which must not exceed 6.00, then a conversion is necessary; the EL MA is multiplied by 1.4. Thorsell's end of season average was 6.25 - which by my reading of this rule means he is ineligible to double down, regardless of his current average, which has now dropped below 6.

Baldyman Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 But he does have an average for this season and it's under six. That's rule says only if an average from last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rule is written terribly. As it suggests that riders don't drop down on their current EL average converted but there start of the season (or end of last season) average.

TheScotsman Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm a bit underwhelmed too. But there was hardly any choice out there. So we'll see how it works out. I wish him well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupidstunt Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 You would have thought the Peterborough Promotion would know that he can't double down as his starting average was 6.25 in the EL . Is this a rookie mistake or is it the fact that he is a Wolves Rider and the vice chairman owns Wolves makes you wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
