ecksact Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Heat 7 from Sunday's EWR action feast, a total humdinger and probably the best non-passing race you will ever see! https://youtu.be/i9LaXp4q44w Cracking stuff! Thanks so much for posting. Fisher's move between the Scorpion's pair in the first two bends was sublime, as was the team riding afterwards, but what an effort by all 4 riders, and if it had ended 5-1 the other way no-one could have complained! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Firstly as I had previously mentioned, Glasgow only rode 2 Challenge Matches throughout October 2009, so how could they have had "an awful October" ? On the BSPA Website - under the heading - 2009 Premier League Greensheet Averages, Mitchell Davey is listed as 3.77. What you are referring to is called - 2009 Premier League Team Declarations. As the BSPA has differentiated between the two categories, when referring to Greensheet Averages for 2009, is it not logical to refer to the one named 2009 Premier League Greensheet Averages? Cyclone, Oh dear, I didn't think this needed explaining twice, but here goes: 18.10 e) refers to an average never going above 4.00. So the Team Declaration is very relevant, because it shows Davey on 4.23 during the year. Yes, his final figure slipped to 3.77 in his final 2009 Green Sheet average, but the key thing was that his GSA was 4.23 earlier in the season. He did have a GSA more than 4.00 during the season. Understand now? Heat 7 from Sunday's EWR action feast, a total humdinger and probably the best non-passing race you will ever see! https://youtu.be/i9LaXp4q44w Superb stuff, although for me the race of the season is still Heat 15 against Glasgow, with Ryan going from 4th to 2nd to 4th to 3rd (I think!!)

lucifer sam Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Doubt it was better than this That's another cracker. There was also Josh's Heat 11 against Ipswich a couple of weeks ago at the EWR, when he passed both Witches on the final lap.

King Jamie Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Did that average include bonus points which now they don't count now??🤔 averages included bonus points up to and including the end of the 2005 season. at that point, they were then 'netted off' and the new figures produced (without bonus pts) for the start of the 2006 campaign. PS Mr cyclone - the difference between the team declarations and the green sheets were to do with team changes. the October 2009 lists show Edinburgh as being the same as the end of year green sheets due to us signing Kalle Katajisto (replacing Byron Bekker) at such a late stage that both he (and, obviously, the team) didn't ride in any meetings which were included in those numbers (remember Cup finals, play-offs, etc. are excluded). similarly, at the point when Glasgow last re-declared that season, Mitchell Davey had a 4.23 average. this may have been in July, August, whenever. and, by the end of the year, he was down to 3.77, as per his green sheet. I have no idea as to whether the 'never having achieved an actual PL MA of 4.00 or above' is defined by end of season averages or simply at any point during any season. "never" to me means "never ever" but this is the BSPA we're talking about! I suspect there'll be a coin toss to decide upon this one. my money's on heads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I have found a 2009 programme against Glasgow dated August 21st. Mitchell Davey had an average, then, of 3.92. he scored 11 + 1 from 7 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof that Mitchell Davey's Green sheet average was definitely greater than 4.00 for a good chunk of the 2009 season (on top of the fact that he started 2008 on an assessed 5.00 figure!!!).

brylcream boy Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 How can something so simple as 4 blokes racing over 4 laps be so confusing. I hope Scunny have the appeal upheld as I support them, but reading the previous posts, I don't how it will end up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Doubt it was better than this Ashworth last to first. Remember it well. If memory serves me correctly, there were a few Sheffield fans jeering when he gated last..... Take it from me, there were about 8 races as good as that on Sunday - it really was just brilliant.

speed ace Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 How can something so simple as 4 blokes racing over 4 laps be so confusing. I hope Scunny have the appeal upheld as I support them, but reading the previous posts, I don't how it will end up. Hope they have to rerun the meeting with the inclusion of Bewley if the appeal is upheld much better to decide the winner on track rather than in an office. Seems to me a bit strange so many posters implying Davey was too good a guest, when the normal opinion is he's not good enough to compete at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Ashworth last to first. Remember it well. If memory serves me correctly, there were a few Sheffield fans jeering when he gated last..... Take it from me, there were about 8 races as good as that on Sunday - it really was just brilliant. There will be more races with superb passing but anybody will be hard pressed to find a better example of team riding. #MonTheFish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaron Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Heat 7 from Sunday's EWR action feast, a total humdinger and probably the best non-passing race you will ever see! https://youtu.be/i9LaXp4q44w Two days on and reflecting on Sundays brilliant racing and every bit as good as I thought it was !. Infact it's better than I thought. You will never see a non passing race as good as that one, Even if you turned up at a track every night at a speedway for the next 100 years.! All four riders were almost in unison going round and it was blanket stuff all the way. Look beyond the final result 44-45 (subject to stewards enquiry-Mitch Davey?). There were no losers at Scunny on Sunday only winners if you were there. Scunthorpe Speedway the track that just KEEPS ON GIVING ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
