mdmc82 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) We now have Coventry & Swindon completed. Rye House to be completed tomorrow and Wolves & Poole half way there.

A ORLOV Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 You are right there are quite a few riders who rode EL this year that will not get a place in the Premier League in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Jan Graversen has signed for a Premiership team according to Facebook, wonder where he is headed and on what average? 'Soon to be be revealed' apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Soon to be be revealed' apparently. Crackers. And yet some fans want new foreign riders on a 7 average when we have the likes of Jan (no disrespect) turning up as a filler year after year!

beckettlion Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Jan Graversen has signed for a Premiership team according to Facebook, wonder where he is headed and on what average? 'Soon to be be revealed' apparently. Would be very surprised if any other Premiership team than Leicester were to take a punt on Jan. He was Mr Leicester Lions speedway until we stepped up to the elite league, still very popular amongst fans. Also, imagine he might not cost the earth (although thats just a prediction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Crackers. And yet some fans want new foreign riders on a 7 average when we have the likes of Jan (no disrespect) turning up as a filler year after year! Jan Graversen coming back year after year on a 4.XX average is exactly why foreign riders shouldn't be allowed to drop below 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Jan Graversen coming back year after year on a 4.XX average is exactly why foreign riders shouldn't be allowed to drop below 7. OK, I can see how that could help the 36 Brits (& another 10 new two pointers) with sub-7 averages, provided we also have a minimum 2 Brits rule. The team-building limit would have to be about 50. A straight 7 minimum for all foreigners, both existing & new, might though be unfair on the new ones, because teams would generally select the existing ones who habitually achieve a 6 to 7 average - the likes of Klindt, Busk-Jacobsen, Porsing, Lasse Bjerre - rather than take a chance on new untried ones.

Joe Beevers Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Interesting list. I am focused however more on the British riders getting rides however as it would be disappointing if they didn't. So we have: Craig Cook - Surely Belle Vue if they ride Lewis Bridger- No links. CL only perhaps Steve Worrall - Possibly Belle Vue Richie Worrall - Can the Aces fit him in? Ben Barker - Probably CL only. Josh Auty - Maybe Leicester again or CL? Paul Starke - Probably Somerset? Kyle Newman - Poole Charles Wright - Signed CL but PL unknown Every other Brit below this list, I would like to think will fit into the Championship and will be suprised if they are not.

Big Al Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Jan Graversen coming back year after year on a 4.XX average is exactly why foreign riders shouldn't be allowed to drop below 7. In defense of Jan Graversen from what I've heard I think he's been domiciled in the UK for quite some time, has an English partner/fiancee, and has a job as an HGV mechanic. Not every riders going to make it to the GPs or to heat leader for that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 There will be quite a few riders unable to find a team place in the Premiership and unless they switch to 2016 Elite averages they won't find a place at all as riders that have signed will see their inflated averages drop which will be hard to fit In those with inflated averages should injuries force changes.

uk_martin Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'd be inclined to put the names of Swindon and Coventry riders in italics or in another colour. With their stadiums in doubt being "signed" may just be illusionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Reading Swindon still have a track and stadium they can use while they wait tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a question about that on another thread but didn't get a clear answer to that effect. Just hope that the builders don't get their instructions in a twist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
