RebelDan Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Harris 9.27 Nicholls 9.23 Masters 8.88 Lambert 8.76 Klindt 5.42 Clegg 4.04 Bewley 4 49.6 Best so far! Blimey is that all Harris converts to - pretty much the same average as Tungate and Josh G finished on at Somerset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I reckon a shrewd promotor in the 2nd league could easily put a good team together to challenge any of the teams in the first league or get very close Agreed. If a PL club can afford to get 2 or 3 of Schlein, Batch and Watt they have a top 3 that can challenge anything the EL can throw at it.

Hamish McRaker Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Agreed. If a PL club can afford to get 2 or 3 of Schlein, Batch and Watt they have a top 3 that can challenge anything the EL can throw at it. Is Mr Ford eyeing up possible Championship clubs to develop as Poole2, now that his wings seem to have been clipped a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt, Batch, Schlein, Holder, Branford, Bewley, 2 Pointer (Perks?) would come in under 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 1. Chris Harris 9.21 2. Rory Schlein 7.17 3. Dave Watt 7.56 4. Troy Batchelor 7.36 5. Kenneth Bjerre 8.22 6. Nikolai Klindt 5.42 7. Josh Bates 5.02 Throw in Adam Ellis if he ends up on his 4.67 average. This cost cutting exercise the BSPA continue to embark on is going to cost them a fortune as riders like Batchelor and Klindt on low averages, will be able to demand what they want!

Bees_Man Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Show it up how terribly weak the top league has become. I'm expecting the admission prices to be reduced by a pound or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not think you be in luck with that hope, but it may defer any increase in entry price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 There are going to be some ropey old (or young!) reserves about this year by the look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 As the topic is best teams you can build here goes. Woffinden 9.83 Lambert 8.76 Bjerre 8.22 Batchelor 7.36 Porsing 6.58 Klindt 5.42 Sissis/Williamson/Ayres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Shows how difficult it is going for all the teams & I hope admission prices get dropped as a result. Don't think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Amazing how the best teams seem to be full of mainly Foriegn riders? Aussies and Danes especially. With the new format, What's the benefit to our own lads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Being realistic... Because Woffinden, the GP divas and no Pole of a decent standard will be plying their trade in the 'Premiership'. Lindgren 10.09 Klindt 5.42 Lambert 8.3 Milik 7.94 Harris 9.27 Clegg 3.6 Huckenbeck 5.11 Remaining points limit 0.268 Klindt is on an insane PL average so no brainer. Harris & Lindgren are proven Elite League Performers at most tracks. Lets face it the Poles are gonna hate Rye House! Milik, Clegg & Lambert are the obvious improvers that win the league for the team. I went for Huckenbeck just because of his average as I was 0.08 out of fitting Josh Bates in. Assuming Milik is unavailable. Which seems likely. Lindgren 10.09 Bates 5.46 Lambert 8.3 Harris 9.27 Clegg 3.6 Klindt 5.42 Remaining points limit 7.858 Could I have Ļebedevs on an assessed average of 7.5, if not I'd take Ricky Wells.

mdmc82 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The problem now is going to be if more riders can double up, will there now be even more fixture clashes. Any idea if the 2 DU riders per team still applies and does it include reserves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The problem now is going to be if more riders can double up, will there now be even more fixture clashes. Any idea if the 2 DU riders per team still applies and does it include reserves? Who knows? Given that even Chris Harris was suggesting he'd like to double-up and he could potentially be a Premiership #1, there is a very real possibility that a full Premiership team could want to double-up. Of course, fixed race nights would help alleviate clashes, but this doesn't seem to have been discussed at the AGM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The BSPA said pre-AGM that fixed racenights had been considered but were just not practical for all existing and new clubs at the senior level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattK Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 With the extra PL meetings I can see d/u s being a big problem due to more clashes of meetings Mike Bowden says it will be max 2 per club. Doesn't say if this is Premiership or Championship club though. Either way, this will make team building very interesting, as most "loyal" riders are likely to want to ride in both leagues. I predict a LOT of foreigners in the Premiership this year making up the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRobin Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Am I missing something, I understood that all teams have to include a 3 point British rider but nobody seems to naming a side with a 3 pointer. Does 3point mean 3 max or can it include up to 3.99> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
