Wolverhampton V Poole. Ela 2/5/16


Recommended Posts

So if tomorrow's meeting is postponed, I assume it will be an NL guest as I thought you couldn't have a facility for a rider unless he has already ridden for you.

Matt will just postpone Wednesday meeting - like he did a couple of years ago when something similar happened!

No reason why tomorrow wont go ahead. The rain is clearing in the early afternoon to leave a dry evening.

Nice natural watering.

Lokking forward to this. Should be a belter.

Every reason given the vile forecast and the promoters need to call off in a heartbeat.

I just hope the weather isn't as bad as predicted.

I think that is the 'old' rule...

 

The 'new' rule states....

 

Well, to be honest I haven't a clue as it will only get written sometime between now and Wednesday evening, depending on whether the meeting tonight goes ahead or not....

 

All done 'in the interest of Speedway' obviously!

An extra ride for Holder but not Ellis!!

Are we sure about that?

Rider one above in the averages (Kyle) and the reserves (also Kyle).

Have the powers that be considered this scenario?

Kyle 7.24

Holder 7.13

 

No they didn't consider it, but the issue has been tested (Swindon v Belle Vue - where Max Fricke didn't get a rider replacement ride, as the rider above Ritchie Worrall was deemed to be reserve Steve Worrall)

Ah yes. I'd used Chris' old average. :oops:

I knew really. Just testing. :D

Well if today doesn't go ahead for any reason, as some have suggested, then Poole will not get a facility for Bjarne on Wednesday - as he won't have ridden yet!!

 

If it does go ahead then on Wednesday, Bjarne's (6.55) r/r rides can be taken by Chris Holder (7.17); Buzz (6.48) and Kurtz (5.24) x2. (Ellis 8.00; Andersen 7.33 and Newman 7.24 - if fit - would not be eligible for r/r rides). That's based on today's averages not sure if they change again for Wednesday after tonight's scores?!

 

 

NB. Newman admitted to hospital again so will miss tonight - replaced by Kerr (presumably from the updated EDR list not yet available to the fans?!)

Kerr is higher up in the draft than Newman according to the latest greensheet available.

The 'latest' list on the BSPA website is only up to 31.03.16. So the latest list in reality - which has been circulated to all clubs - is just not in the public domain yet! It is a BH for goodness sake!!

 

In any case Newman's EDR average must put him higher in the list than Kerr - or any other EDR for that matter!!

 

With other meetings on today Kerr must be the best option

The BSPA have complicated the rules so much that there will be an explanation somewhere that will, be used as rules are so vague they can adapt an answer to suit.

In real terms Kerr isn't as good as Newman in the EL but at least it's a suitable guest option.

Correct - although you might add that Newman (or his replacement) could still take a reserve ride to replace Bjarne.

Kyle most certainly is going through it at the moment best wishes to him on a speedy recovery and hope they sort out what the issue is quickly


I don't get why you are so upset by it?

I just said it was quite funny!! Hows that upset? Dont worry im not balling my eyes out about Davey just pointing out it's a bit ironic , Poole could had 'rested' him and done a Dakota and sent him golfing but they didnt and replaced him with someone who already has a fixture clash

A very tough and exciting encounter. I shall be there weather permitting. Forecast is for rain in tnhe morning to leave a dry afternoon and evening. This will proabably change.

With Kurtz and Buckowski likely to struggle here, and it far from being Holders favourite track, I am looking to a score of 48-42 Or close to it.

Thoughts?

Buzckowski has if memory serves me right had a good score at Monmore Green in the past and most Polish riders have adapted to the track in the past.

As a reserve Newman (or replacement) can take any ride they wish to put them in.

 

 

 

Ellis will struggle as a heat leader but no doubt Kurtz will have one of those rides but having Pedersen and Buzckowski as second strings makes them stronger in that department so swings and roundabouts really.

 

Masters and Thorssell are very strong second strings especially at home so the middle order battles will be important.

 

If Bech can get amongst the points and Freddie and Kylmakorpi carry on with their good form it should swing it towards them but it's going to be a tough meeting. 47_43

 

 

Hoping to make it over for this one so hope the rain keeps away.
