Plymouth 2017 N/l?

[Dandelion]

 

if it is thats a steal..

It surely can't be right, I'm just looking to be corrected Was it too long ago to use Boxhall's last average in the NL?

Just purely on location they could go with:

 

1 Steve Boxall 10.30

2 Richard Andrews 4.36

3 Lee Smart 5.71

4 Mattie Bates 4.82

5 James Shanes 8.53

6 Tyler Govier 3.31

7 Henry Atkins 3.00

Or even nick phillips instead of Henry

Where's this dude got 10.30 from?

I noticed at the beginning of 2016, they seemed to just double Luke Bowen's average, is this right?

 

In that case it would be 10.30, not so attractive now... And that's where the other person got the figure from, it makes sense now

I "think" its PL average x 2. Although there is some rule about not being able to sign for a National & Championship team at the start of the season if the Championship average is over 4 i believe?

Oh I see, but will the likes of Ashley Morris, Max Clegg and Adam Ellis still be allowed to ride if they already have a NL average?

They can't ride NL if they start the season with a Championship place.

 

S4K is right, the conversion is PLx2 but you use whichever is higher of that figure or the latest NL figure, and I can't remember Boxall's without checking.

Good news finally made public.

 

Best of luck in 2017.

What is the conversion rate for PL to NL?

If it's PL average * 1.4 my calculation has Steve Boxall at 7.21, but that surely can't be right

If Richard Hall had a NL average from 2005 or whatever it was then Boxall has one form a couple of years ago at Kent. Must be about 10.5?

Great to see that Plymouth will continue, good luck next year. Hopefully those who have doubts about the drop into the NL give it a chance, I'm sure they'll be pleasantly surprised.

Did crowds increase when they went PL?

Did crowds increase when they went PL?

That's hard to estimate. The first PL fixture in 2011 against Sheffield had to have been Plymouth's record attendance (in my opinion). Attendances were maybe slightly higher initially. Mike Bowden wanted to take Plymouth back down to NL in the autumn of 2012 maybe because crowds weren't big enough even then? What's certain in my mind was how crowds had dropped off over 2015/16, though there was a spike during the play off run. Edited November 24, 2016 by burrito

Birmingham's crowds certainly increased when they went into the NL.

Its always easy to pull in a good crowd when your at the top of the league, have a bad run and see how many turn up.

Good point which is why its important to build a team based upon low/realistic crowds rather than over estimated crowd numbers.

What are the crowds like at tracks now? My mother who used to be mad about speedway but at 90 is no able to go anymore has photos of the old Sun street at Stoke with 20,000 plus there for a meeting. Good to see Plymouth still providing speedway for the public, long may it continue.

I think you can take a few noughts off that figure these days.

Stoke in perticular don't think I have seen more then 150 there in recent years. For a nt match maybe 2014 I reckon there were more riders and family from the 2 nl teams and 2 mdl teams then paying customers. If there was 50 I d be suprised and I know at least 14 kent fans who went.

There are tracks that run bangers as well as speedway, and places like Lynn Ipswich arlington Mildenhall and arena the car crowds are probably double the bikes. (Maybe less so in the last few years for the latter 2)
