kelvinht Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 A change over date is simple but unfair. One team could strengthen after only 2 or 3 matches, others after 4 or 5. That would benefit the team that had ridden fewer matches as their stronger revised lineup can be used in more matches. 4 and 4 works, but maybe should apply to the team as whole, so if rider has missed a match or two they would still get a revised average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the usual situation. Surely the quicker you move away from these figures be the better. This 4 + 4 scenario would be ok if all the teams rode the same number of fixtures, but that is not the case. By persueing this idea of unfairness, we are creating more unfairness in the long run as some teams will be transferred before others. The season has started and the clock is ticking, the sooner this switchover happened the better so the league can generate a new set of realistic and fair figures. If we wait till all teams and riders have completed it could be end of June...... Another season wasted...,,... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnboy Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 What average would Bridger come in on after the first set of averages think it must be low as he has had a bad start . He is good mate with Rosey too, now he has dropped team revolution and got decent bikes I'm sure he could do a good job 👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Not my cup of tea - Lewis Bridger - stick with Holder stands more chance of being successful ( average wise by the end of the season ) or is it suggested that both could be fitted in somehow?

Haza Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 To replace Josh Bailey mate don't know if it would fit just a point I'd like to make can a new no7 be any rider as along as the rider fits under the points limit or does the no 7 have to be a NL rider ? as I was told that the no7 has to be from the NL - can someone confirm this one way or the other please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Rose and Lambert that covers that criteria. It's only the Championship that has to have an NL No7. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Does any Lynn fan know why Rose is in Torun with Holder and Kurtz Bro's. Kurtz bro's were there for Aus vs Poland Holder there for Torun, but why Rose just wondering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 So, is there going to be any rider changes for the V Leicester match? No comment or preview on the website - yet. Does that mean something interesting is "on the way" or just that no one can be bothered to put up the teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Meanwhile with the lack of information "casual" fans will have made other plans It does make me wonder how we all coped 20-30 years ago.I know you are going to say you have to move with the times.But years ago i would just turn up to see a meeting relying on the odd bit in the Lynn news and advertiser.Is that paper still going by the way. We must have had casual fans years ago too who didn't have information to go on.Most casual fans will go as and when it pleases them anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Meanwhile with the lack of information "casual" fans will have made other plansOr they may have checked the fixture list on the official website to see if a meeting is on? Or the BSPA website, looked in a 2017 prog, asked their Stars fan neighbour if there's a mtg, asked on facebook/twitter .... loads of ways to get the info you want 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 My neighbours don't know what speedway is. I don't do Facebook or Twitter . I don't buy a newspaper anymore. I rely on info on the Stars website. The club seem slow again this season updating there website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you can defend this lack lustred approach to advertising is beyond me . This is nothing more than incompetence, at the highest level, and you are looking to defend them.. If the club cant be bothered to provide the information on a forth coming meeting, then why should the fans bother to go.... At a time when the social media is there for all to use it has never been easier to promote a meeting... All that's needed is 5mins in front of a computer . Probably this goes someway at to explain why the attendances are always dropping.... Years ago we always had updates of future meetings in the local rag, with interviews and photos too. No wonder the sport is just about dead .... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
