Grand Central Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) If he got £200k as 20% of the deal, then what the beggary did they do with £800k ?!?!?!?! Split it between them. Spent it on riders. Just about survived. In a league that was effectively bankrupt without that cash. What the hell do you think?

Shadders Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I like the new rule that only one tactical ride can be used, but It bothers me that a team can go from 10 points down to within 3 in the space of one race. I'd like to see the minimum points behind before a double points ride can be used to be 12 Edited November 19, 2014 by Shads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Can see where your coming from Shads but with big points gaps between teams this is open to manipulation by both teams ie leading team been 10 points up already and instead of riding for a 4-2 they give a 2-4 to the losing just to keep them at arms length thus stopping them using a TR I suppose the opposite effect applies when a team is already 10 points down. Don't always agree with the old 6 point rule but the team leading had to keep riding for the points and the losing were always within a chance of closing the gap soon rather than later. Can't see why if they want to keep the TR then why not both the losing teams riders and instead of double points for one rider then give a bonus point to both losing teams riders if they beat the opposing teams riders in a Tactical Heat. Anyone dropping points to stop a TR is a moron. A TR is 3 extra points. Dropping a point means you drop a point and the opposition gain a points thus a 2 point difference. Just go out and win, it's not worth messing about for he sake of a single point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Barrycuda,,,Riders get payed for points scored are you seriously saying they are going to chuck money away ? Few riders even know what the score is during a meeting, they are to busy consentrating on their own performance..

SteveLyric2 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 So the Speedy Star seems to confirm the maximum 2 x 7 pointers per EL team?! I just do not understand the logic of that - as well as not understanding why it wasn't made clear in the AGM statement!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not understand the logic of that - as well as not understanding why it wasn't made clear in the AGM statement!! Perhaps cos there were 14 top 5 riders that finished on 7+ averages last year, so 2 per team spreads them out equallyish? Two don't seem to be coming back either so that makes 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 They always seem to miss something out of their AGM statement. Yep and hears another one Workington have announced the signing of Hansen tonight on a PL GSA of 7.70 It appears the EL to PL conversion rate is now 0.40, strange I didn't see that on the AGM statement.

Grand Central Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Just shows what a waste of time it's all been then. No investment, just throwing good money after bad to keep a potentially great product on the edge of extinction. On the edge extinction, maybe. That is your view. But NOT actually extinct. Which could be seen as money well spent. In my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 5.50 x 1.40= 7.70. Not Difficult. the calculation is easy but only if you know the numbers to use.The new conversion rate only surfaced with the announcement of the signing of Hansen. I suppose it was a toss up as to what subject got the last sentence space. 1) The pivotal to team building revised conversion rate 2)The yellow black helmet cover return No brainer really isnt it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
