Robbobee Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Latest Green Sheet Averages have as published on the British Speedway Web Site have Coventry Bees as the lowest overall score 32.67 and Poole Pirates as second lowest 32.70 - the team leading the Elite League followed by the team currently second in the League !! I know the reasons why ( ie: Kings deleted results for Brummies last year and Gomolski's farcical previous average applies etc ) however that can't be the way to go can it????

Steve0 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 And Edward Kennett putting nearly 2 points on his average - despite poor away performances - just shows he was on the wrong average for team building - which we all knew! And nearly 2 points off Holder's average too giving a team total of 32.7 - should be enough to accommodate Darcy to replace North or Magic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two minute warning Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Looking at how Hans Andersens average has gone down, it will make it harder for us to find a guest away from home when he is missing even though he has been in great form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nearly 2 points off Holder's average too giving a team total of 32.7 - should be enough to accommodate Darcy to replace North or Magic. Darcy not back til end of June. Gomolski will be averaging more than 4 by then reducing the extra points available, and 1.3 is not enough to fit ward in anyway. Only way ward will come in as a straight swap is if magic gets his average up to 8.7. Maybe that ward/pawlicki or similar for magic/north may work.

foreverblue Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 If Holder continues in his current for he will be well below 7 points when the next averages come out and we will be able to get Darcy back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to be a re-declaration surely, Wards average is higher than any other rider in the Poole line-up & you can only replace a rider with the same or lower average if just a rider swap.

Isn't the actual reason that both Poole and Coventry have strong reserve who's point obviously count towards winning a meeting, but not towards averages? Would have to be a re-declaration surely, Wards average is higher than any other rider in the Poole line-up & you can only replace a rider with the same or lower average if just a rider swap. Not if a team's total points is below 34. Poole effectively have 0.84 in the bank, plus the average of the rider they wish to replace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lino wolf Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 If Holder continues in his current for he will be well below 7 points when the next averages come out and we will be able to get Darcy back. Surely by the time ward is introduced back gomolski will have a hugely increased average ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Just goes to show how important the reserves are & I just hope they show improvement & the clubs show the loyalty to them when they go into the main body of the team. There should be an average that if they attain it then they can't be a reserve from the season after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 To be fair it shows that Coventry and Poole have been clever picking their sides. I actually think both sides have the strongest top 5 too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the reserve rule is 2 years max anyway so these guys have to cut it or be thrown on the EL scrap heap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I believe the reserve rule is 2 years max anyway so these guys have to cut it or be thrown on the EL scrap heap. I dont think thats ever been said. They'll stick with it as long as it suits the promoters. If 20 foreign riders all agreed to ride for £5 a point next season the EL promoters would drop the draft ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Gomolski's average wont be that high.Surely it will go up by a point and a half? Which would likely offset any decrease in holder/north. Which won't give enough spare points to get in ward for magic without other change/s.
