Crazy robin Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Not a fan of Grondal & if Swindon can get Wilson-Dean to reserve & replace him we might not finish bottom after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef robin Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) 2 home meetings in 4 days, now only 2 for the remainder of April and May! With 5 away meetings coming up those Robins aint gonna be able to get off the bottom! Would like to see one big league of 18 and more regular racing. With the 2 big crowds so far against Belle Vue and Poole, need to keep the casual fan interested. One Thursday meeting in five not enough. Although they have lost about a third of their fan base since the Leigh Adams days and with the new stadium farce and ever-weakening line-ups the three meetings this year has seen decent attendances. Need some good weather this summer to keep them coming. If all clubs promoted as well as the Isle of Wight there would be more fans attending.

Do we still need to have 3 home meetings before the new averages come into effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 4 Home & 4 Away. Which is not till after May 29th against Somerset at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Which is not till after May 29th against Somerset at home. Which makes you wonder why this fixture list was agreed then. With Jason and Adam on falsely high averages we should have at least allowed ourselves a proper team average before going for long breaks in fixtures. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, should have got the necessary meetings in asap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've not looked at anybody else but Aces don't get their 4 home and away until 24th May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Assuming no rain offs and I haven't made a mistake. Somerset 8th May Wolves 20th May BelleVue 24th may Rye House 24th may Kings Lynn 24th may Leicester 29th may Swindon 29th may Poole 7th June. Also some riders won't have ridden in all the meetings.

poole keith Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 looking at anzums list it must favour poole because by the date we have completed 4 home matches 6 away matches will be raced with klindt at reserve,clever fixture planning or what??

That is unless the BSPA come up with a sensible calculation to convert last years EL averages to the post 4 home and away Premiership averages. Who thinks they will. 😂 Edited April 17, 2017 by Aces51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders can't possibly come in on their averages from last season. Can they??? Unsurprisingly, the regulations are unclear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Zagar is suddenly able to come in given the Polish ruling it still isn't possible is it? If Zagar was to come in it would have to be on his 1.4 conversion surely, otherwise it makes no sense signing any top league only rider at the start of the season.

Of course it would be ridiculous if the 1.4 or more realistically 1.25 or thereabouts calculation didn't apply once we have new premiership averages but we are talking about the BSPA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) If the new team building average is anywhere close to 42 points (ie. 84% of the original 50 points) then it makes every sense to have 'new' riders available on their previous actual averages or a new BSPA-assessed average if they have not ridden UK for 2 years!!

No ti doesn't. If it's 42 it makes sense for it to be 120-125% of their previous EL average, rather than 140% like at the start of the year.

Using tgat logic you could redeclare with a side that would have come to 58.8 at the start of the season ie 8 points over the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
