SCB Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Does anyone know for certain what averages Wright and Nielsen are coming in on? I'm sure if you tweets the BSPA and ask they'll tell you. With Buster Chapmans transparency and honesty policy now surely in full swing.

stevebrum Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm sure Matt Ford was quoted as saying Buzz will be a heatleader. Buzz has to be a heat leader. His is the highest of the averages of the Poole riders signed so far - Buzz 6.48; Hans 6.45; Brady 5.24. He has already been declared by MF on the BSPA website as a heat leader as Lisa stated. Any other news item is clearly false. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other news item is clearly false. He should be a heat leader but so should Hans which is more the point. If both of them are not then it is a joke.

Absolutely agree. If hans isn't a heat leader then neither is Lindgren, Bjerre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Does anyone know for certain what averages Wright and Nielsen are coming in on? 4.13 & 3.00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRobin Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 4.13 & 3. Some people are saving that both reserves will be based on their PL average, which means that many of the 2nd reserves would be below 3. However previously the EL set a minimum of 3 as an assessed average. Has it been confirmed what the riders new averages will be as there's nothing on the BSPA site?

Grachan Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 The BSPA site has them all at 3.00! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRobin Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 The BSPA site has them all at 3.00!That's last season's averages, prior to the rule change & nobody can seem to confirm whether both rider's averages will be based on an assessed PL average. When the details of the AGM were released, this is what it said in the statement released by the Robins. "Plans have already been announced for a 40.5 points limit to cover seven riders, with Fast Track reserve riders to be given averages converted from their Premier League figures for the first time".

They will be converted from PL averages but will not fall below the minimum of a 3.00 average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 With Richard Lawson joining Ben Barker & Aaron at Glasgow meaning no room for Nick Morris so will he join another Premier League team or do just the Elite & Poland in 2016.

Crashby1950 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi, I'm new to this site but have been a speedway fan for longer than I care to remember,I'm an exiled Swindon fan and you can probably guess from my user name I am/was a Martin Ashby fan. I have been trying for a while to join the site but for some unknown reason I had a problem getting registered but tonight it worked. I look forward to joining in with the board, but I can see that the problems of the SCB haven't changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Why's that? Have they upped the price due to moving to a new stadium? Have they offered first glimpse to season ticket holders? Have they included seating within the season ticket....as there are meant to be seats at this new stadium? NO...it is a season ticket for 2016 entitling entry to league meetings which is what is being offered. Swindon Speedway: 2016 season tickets on sale, By Admin Nov 18, 2015, 10:42 Email this article Printer friendly page Swindon have unveiled their season ticket details ahead of the 2016 season. "The Robins are gearing up for an exciting year as they move to their new state-of-the-art stadium – and fans can now ensure they will be part of it." Well that's what it says, buy a season ticket and be part of a new season in a new stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid, the rules have not been published yet. What we have at the moment is the SCB announcement summarising what was agreed. That summary has still to be distilled into specific rules which will be included in the rule book when it is released. The problem is that most people seem to have not bothered to read the SCB announcement and the comment on the Swindon website is at odds with what the SCB announcement says, hence people are getting confused and moaning about it when it's there own fault for not reading the SCB announcement.

charlie17 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 The post about season tickets in the new stadium is absolute madness...I spoke only last night to a source very close to the development ( who will remain anonymous for obvious reasons). As has been stated before they have outline planning permission but not full permission. In his words Stadia Uk "holding things up" at the minute. Sorry to be on a downer, I love my speedway, but"rose coloured spectacles" need to be removed quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually EIA that's not entirely correct. All we've had is an announcement after the first part of the AGM. We've had nothing else official after the 'cooling off' period and the AGM Part 2 - except for the confirmation of MC positions!! Other opinions have been taken from a variety of individual club statements - some of which appear contradictory - which would presuppose that some clubs have a different understanding of the proposed rules than others! I believe that what is or has been finally agreed by the BSPA is then submitted to the SCB for their approval and announcement, which usually comes around the end of November, no matter when the AGM is held.

I believe that what is or has been finally agreed by the BSPA is then submitted to the SCB for their approval and announcement, which usually comes around the end of November, no matter when the AGM is held. The SCB announcement itself is somewhat contradictory if you compare the opening part with the summary of what was agreed, but taking the the summary of what was agreed it appears they are talking about a tier 1 riders only having averages.For the moment I am presuming they know what they agreed but apart from what is coming out from certain clubs, notably Swindon (Rosco in speaking goobledegook shock! ) some posters are either putting there own spin on it or basing their comments on what they have heard rather than what was said. In answer to side point though it doesn't appear there is any conspiratorial secrecy just the usual time it takes to get the rules published. Should the rules be there in black/white set in stone that everybody know year to year maybe with a bit of tinkering here and there.The season ended in October everything should of been done and dusted by now things put into place for the 2016 season. No other branch of motor cycle sport appears to have published its regulations for 2016 and as far as I know the ACU Handbook for 2016 is not out yet, so it's hardly dilatory . The other thing is that we don't know yet what if any changes have to be made to comply with FIM regulations for example to technical standards to bikes, silencers and tracks, which has to be incorporated in the 2016 Speedwáy Regs. It's all very well for you to get on your high horse Sid but I don't think this sort of delay as it stands so far is unusual for any branch of motor sport, although I would agre that if the regs don't come out until February as I think was the case last season or the season before is pretty poor.
