Arrrggghhhhh! Really really hope it isn't as feared.

[BluPanther]

Sorry - been having some dizzy spells for the past couple of weeks so not wanted to risk driving. Just the aftermath of a virus I think.

 

Got a load of caramel wafers in the cupboard too!

That will be the Irn Bru

[TheScotsman]

You're right.

 

Not enough Bru!!

There are many many nice genuine panthers fans, but he gives you all and your club a bad name.

None of the Peterborough fans react to him, just do what we do and ignore him/her

Are they really a panther's fan?

Really hope Danyon has broken anything.... but if he has what average will the bspa allocate him 2 or 4.57 ?

I would expect 2 - dont think the reg to award an new ave without 4h 4a has EVER been invoked even though it has been in place for a few years.

 

Gotta be a good case for at least 4 given that even 5 lasts on that 4th home meeting would see him at 4.

 

To be honest though I not that bothered so long as Danyon is OK.

This has just appeared on the Witches Facebook page

 

Danyon has suffered extensive arm injuries after a crash at the British U21 final this evening. We will have more details​ in the morning.

What about k/o cup matches don't they count or is it just league matches only for calculation of averages. Which ever it is on either average he will be hard to replace as there's not a lot out there of the right quality to choose from , but good luck to the lad and I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

only league matches although ironically the 4th league match was due against Berwick who we rode in the cup as well.

 

Dont like the sound of it when the update uses the word 'exstensive' arm injuries. 😩

[2ndbend]

Totally agree that Danyon's health comes first. Was just trying to find out what worst case scenario would be? Doesn't the rules say on 1st may bspa would decide rider averages for team building if 4h and 4a had not been completed by a rider. Or did I dream that!

MC can award a new average to rider who has not completed 4h 4a by May1st if the team us redeclaring.

The thing is they never have before in all the years the reg has been in place.

Unfortunately it seems you are correct http://www.ipswichwitches.co/story/hume-suffers-broken-arm

 

Poor lad get well soon. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Hume was the most important member of the side. We went big with the top 5 and using two 2 pointers but Hume in particular would have made that work as he was a steal on a 2 point average.

 

I genuinely can't see another 2 pointer out there so now the team in charge need a rethink IMO. We now have two riders to replace and the best bet now for me is go with a lower averaged rider than Nico in the 1-5 and somehow find a capable reserve on the points left?

 

Not going to be easy. Incredible that we never once got to see our original declared 1-7 take to the track which IMO had every chance in lifting silverware.

 

No luck whatsoever this year.

 

Edit: Ah I see you edited your post from last night Jason but you were spot on with the extend of the lads injuries.

 

Get well soon to both lads involved in last nights crash and of course Nico.

[Panthers89]

King 9.57

Heeps 5.07

Vissing 6.89

Newman 6.31

Schlein 7.17

Mountain 2.00

Wajknecht 2.63

 

Really hard replacing Covatti and Hume, almost impossible to get anywhere near what the pair would score.

 

Vissing isn't brilliant, but as a third heat leader, wouldn't be bad! Zac is probably the best rider around not in the championship at the moment.

[Baldyman]

Vissing and barge pole are the words that spring to mind.

[KN1]

Just to say absolutely gutted for Danyon last night. Myself and kyle have been impressed totally by the lad and was telling poole fans about him pre meeting, Kyle has been saying it's the best team spirit he's known, another cruel blow. All the best Danyon.
