Col Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I am guessing that Brits that have only spent the last few season riding in the Elite League will now want to double-up in the Championship to supplement their income. Any takes for Nicholls, Harris, Bridger & Ellis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any takes for Nicholls, Harris, Bridger & Ellis? Love Bomber at the Showground. Ellis average is too high for the Championship, Scotty maybe at Ippo, Bridger NO....

scoobydoo Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ellis this season in the NL, Harris in the GPs yet its Ellis average to high for the new championship crazy world of speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ellis average isn't too high. why do people keep saying it is? Ellis on a 7.8 or howarth on a 7.1 or r worrall on an 8.3. I know who I would take. Bomber is clearly one of the best value riders, that's because his El average is artificially low due to the heat format. if I was putting together a chsmpionship side, he'd be behind only lambert as my choice of number one.

Panthers89 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 9.21 isn't to high for Bomber, easily maintain that if not up it by a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Would add that nicholls also looks good value. Not sure that bridge is though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 It's funny all these Brits wanting to DU when all the tracks are now up north. Be interesting to see Bridger trekking to Redcar or somewhere for a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Heard rumours during the playoffs that Chris Harris was bound for Sheffield next year (from more than one source) but completely disregarded them. Good rider but wouldn't really want him at Sheffield, especially after the way the track has been prepared for the last two years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 It's funny all these Brits wanting to DU when all the tracks are now up north.

foamfence Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 It's funny all these Brits wanting to DU when all the tracks are now up north. Be interesting to see Bridger trekking to Redcar or somewhere for a team. They once offered him a place but couldn't agree on travel allowance. And....? Doesn't ride ekstraliga which I believe is the only league affected by the restrictions but I guess three leagues may be enough, otherwise too many fixture clashes, Just thought it might make things a bit busy for him ....Apparently not though as Scunthorpe claim he asked about a place there.

HenryW Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ellis average isn't too high. why do people keep saying it is? Ellis on a 7.8 or howarth on a 7.1 or r worrall on an 8.3. I know who I would take. Yeah, I'm kinda confused by this as well. I think a lot of people are assuming that his average came from reserve in the EL but he actually mainly raced 2nd string, even had a spell at heat leader if I'm remembering right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Harris would make a cracking championship #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 something like 2 meetings at hl, 15 as a second string and 10 as reserve. But in terms of his average (20 meetings) it was 2 as heat leader, 3 in reserve, 15 as second string. Only failed to get a (paid) win in 5 of them 20 meetings, nor bad going at all! Actually looking at his scores, as long as you don't have to ride against BV too often he's a great signing. He had 4 poor meetings vs BV!
