stevebrum Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Rules applied to suit it seems. Why have riders like Richard Hall been refused to ride in NL when a much better rider like Hurry is?? Couldn't care less who signed him, just seems the rules are yet again open to manipulation. When will the governing body ever learn?? #disbelief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterPlinge Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Rules applied to suit it seems. Why have riders like Richard Hall been refused to ride in NL when a much better rider like Hurry is?? Richard Hall wasn't refused, he was just told he had to come in on a realistic average which didn't fit to replace the missing injured rider. Why Hurry is allowed in on an unrealistic average (and for team strengthening purposes, not replacing an injured rider) is anyone's guess. #Bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Good Luck to Paul i for one am glad to have him in the league he will help the young riders no end . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM09 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think the league benefits from riders like Paul Hurry, it gives the league a more competitive look and he will give then younger riders in the team e.g Hunter and Bowell very valuable knowledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) At least you all now know why Lakeside performed so badly at Belle Vue and why Ben Morley just rode round looking disinterested. He had a target score he had to get be Edited May 23, 2017 by mark007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Good Luck to Paul i for one am glad to have him in the league he will help the young riders no end . I have no issue with that. I do have an issue with averages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 In light of the higher averages imposed on Hall and Cook, in Cooks case after he had be in the named side for some time. I can only assume Pauls average will be increased from what ever figure he is on atm. And if it's not I don't think it will just be 1 or 2 clubs complaining it ll be the whole lot. No problem with Paul riding, it will be great for the youngsters. And I look forward to seeing him again. But he has to come in on a realistic average which must be close to the full max 12.00 Did I read his last average was 3.61??? or similar in the elite. So by current rules his average should be something like 3.61 x 1.4 Then double that. Which would be at least 10 pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Does not bother me at all. Average to high or not..Let him ride on the average stated & lets see if he can keep it up or if the pace will be to much for the old fella (Looking forward to being at stoke on Saturday).

gazzac Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) I may have missed it somewhere if his actual average is out there, but if my maths are correct the most he will be is 7.5. This can't be right with a rider of his stature, have always been a fan of his so not knocking him, but it does smack of the type of thing Matt Ford would engineer for Poole in the premiership, not really wanted in the nl. Could get my head around it if he was replacing Morley or Zack with a similar assessed average, but David Mason!

Speedway28 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 The issue of him replacing Mason isn't really a problem when you consider their ages. However, why he wants to come back after the serious injuries he has sustained previously is incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Let's see how Paul performs when riding on a regular basis, on some tracks that are not familiar to him. If he finishes the season on a 10 point average, then lakeside have pulled a smart one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 So, does anyone actually know what average he's coming in on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Ofcourse it matters they've simply signed a rider on a fake average thus not being within the points limit and breaking the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM09 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 LAKESIDE HAMMERS PRESS RELEASE http://www.lakesidehammers.co/hammers-in-a-hurry/ I think everybody already knows, judging by the discussion that is already happening... Ofcourse it matters they've simply signed a rider on a fake average thus not being within the points limit and breaking the rules It will be interesting to see what his average actually is when the new averages for Lakeside are posted on the BSPA.

Sings4Speedway Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Averages aside i just hope Paul Hurry's body holds up to taking on speedway again. Theres no doubting his class but had been told previously the bone in his arm is in a bad way and that even his return to grasstrack was misguided. Fingers crossed for one last safe hurrah but i do fear for his safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Based on the latest green sheets, David's average will be 7.48 or less unless more than one change is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
