4thbender Posted November 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I think the two Jacks would be on 3 as they haven't ridden in the former PL while Nathan Greaves (for example) has and failed to reach 3.00 (current green sheet 2.32) so I assume that what these lines the statement refers to.. "The only difference in team building rules between the leagues is that Championship clubs must include a British youngster with a three-point average. And in a bid to help young riders get team spots, any rider who hasn’t achieved a three-point average will come in on a minimum of 2." As ever Its not entirely clear. And I see we've "drawn" Edinburgh again! And we haven't got the PLRC (or its new equivalent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPHEN 333 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 What's Kyle's new average now then, over 10, if so he's the new No 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott0311 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 What's Kyle's new average now then, over 10, if so he's the new No 1. He has a PL average so this will be used in both leagues (if he doubles up again). The conversion only comes in for those who rode EL only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIS002 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 What's Kyle's new average now then, over 10, if so he's the new No 1. He doesn't have a new average as he's got an exsisting premier league average from this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 And we haven't got the PLRC (or its new equivalent) Yeah Glasgow, be giving that one a miss I think. Why not give it to Scunny - deemed the fairest track in the league and more importantly a lot more central. Thought it might have been one of Robs priorities to get that sorted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshiretyke Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Don't want bates back he was so inconsistent this year and rode better for Coventry than us Whether we want him back or not; with his family connections he won't be going anywhere.. I do think he could and should at least up his average to 6.5+ next year. Saying that I thought that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 It seems that next year we'll be riding in a smaller league (the Championship) consisting of Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ipswich, Newcastle, Peterborough, Redcar, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, and possibly Workington. We'll be racing on a 2 x home and 2 x away basis, with automatic promotion for the champions to the higher league (Premiership). Rye House and Somerset have opted for the Premiership in 2017. Crucially, we'll only have 40 points to play with in building a team. there's no automatic promotion... winners of championship playoffs vs bottom of premiership, if championship team win they swap places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 there's no automatic promotion... winners of championship playoffs vs bottom of premiership, if championship team win they swap places hasnt that been done before and failed ? a new brush sweeps clean as long as they change the person on the handle . good to see the bspa are no longer trying to call a poor product elite, so now they are going to ruin the premier name as well !

Scott0311 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Smith and JPB will start at 2 next season, fact! Fact?? From the SGB Twitter Q&A this afternoon - User Actions Following SpeedwayGB@SpeedwayGB SpeedwayGB Retweeted Jez Lynch No it would be 3 - only those riders who have ridden in the league and failed to achieve a 3 - ie Josh Bailey will be 2.05 approx we think! SpeedwayGB added, @speedwayGB so a young NL rider like JPB or Jack Smith would come into #SGBChampionship on 2 point average if team spot available?

Steve55 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Swap Greaves for Bailey, & you have a good team there Spin King. Swap Greaves full stop! Sheffield should have ditched him June/July, it was quite obvious by then that he wasn't good enough for the Premier league! Can't persist with him next year surely.

Steve55 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Smith and JPB will start at 2 next season, fact! Having read the release from the promotors meeting and the two lines that refer to this are to my mind rather vague and open to interpretation, stating 'Championship clubs must include include a young Brit with a 3-point average. In a bid to help young riders get a team spot any rider who hasn't achieved a 3-point average will come in on a minimum of 2'. For a start it doesn't say what league they've had to achieve that 3-point average in. The only league mentioned is the Championship, which actually doesn't exist yet (only in name) so no one has ridden in it! British youngster - will there actually be an age limit put on this? (The British 'youngster' rule in the Elite league was a bit of a farce was it not.) So to put it into context does it mean the riders who come in on a 3-point average will have achieved that in the existing Premier league or National league? Or is it that if they have not yet ridden in the existing Premier league they come in on a minimum 2-point average? Think the BSPA have to make a more detailed press release for the purposes of clarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
