Ben91 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Morley's probably the best guest we could have got. He knows the track and has a point to prove after being left out this year. The promotion should really be trying to buy Branford's contract from Redcar, good guests will be hard to find for Rob, particularly away from home.

iand Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 As we have Ben Morley as guest as Rob Branford is riding for Sheffield on Saturday anyone know if that means we will also need a guest for him in the return leg at Swindon and also for Ellis Perks as Sheffield and Redcar are both racing at home on 13th April? The Rye House website says that Rye are allowing Rob to ride for Sheffield on Saturday, which to me indicates that Rye do have 1st call on him. No idea regarding Ellis.

No idea regarding Ellis.It says "agreed, not "allowed" on the website. RR for Ellis means they are much stronger, with Morris, BWD, Bellego and the reserves allowed to take his rides. Puts Swindon as favourites to go through in my opinion, even if we had Branford. I wouldn't be surprised if Swindon sneak a win tomorrow.

SCB Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) How on earth did Ellis get saddled with a 7 point average? Because of his near 6 point average, which he achieved in an EL 1-5 last season. It's comparable to the Worrall brothers and Garrity tbf. He should be capable of 7ish as a second string in the Premiership. Edited April 7, 2017 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get anywhere close to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 He won't get anywhere close to that Why? He got nearly 6 riding all last season as a second string. So why is 7 in a weaker league so hard to imagine? Steve Worall is managing it. Charles Wright managed 9 at Lynn this week, as did Rose. Plus Starke got 7. He's at leats as good as that lot.

Steve Worrall is miles ahead of the rest from what I saw last night & his regular scores in both divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Steve Worrall is miles ahead of the rest from what I saw last night & his regular scores in both divisions. Yet Worrall average 6.22 last season and Ellis averaged 6.05 so there not a lot between them. For comparison Garrity got 6, Kurtz 6.15, Howarth 5.43 (with more meetings in res), Sedgmen 5.33 and Auty 5.16. So Ellis' 7.64 is about right when you consider that Worrall is 8.47, Garrity is 8.8, Kurtz is 7.6, Howarth is 7.18, Sedgmen is 7.6 (and doing ok from two away meetings) and Auty is 7.1 What sort of average do people think Ellis should have been given and why? Worrall has just started this season in brilliant form, which is brilliant. Edited April 7, 2017 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrall has just started this season in brilliant form, which is brilliant. Worrall for me is a step ahead last night his brilliant ht1 win over Doyle was awesome and as someone else said he is good in both leagues.

SteveLyric2 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Ellis' average makes him a heat leader for Swindon. Averages were supposed to be levelled towards last season's Premier league averages, but Ellis didn't ride PL last year so should have been looked at differently' Anyway he'll be stuck with that high average whilst he's out injured.

hammer1969 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Rye website saying Rob Branford is now riding for us against Swindon tonight and I'm happy with that but am wondering can anyone explain who actually had priority, Rye or Sheffield?

startline sid Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Rye website saying Rob Branford is now riding for us against Swindon tonight and I'm happy with that but am wondering can anyone explain who actually had priority, Rye or Sheffield? not sure of the answer to that BUT am very glad Rob is now riding as there is no way would I have willingly swopped Rob for Ben (no offence to anyone but Ben has not even ridden a competitive meeting this season) especially as Swindon now look a much stronger team using r/r Also hope Rob is available to us on Thurs at Swindon instead of riding for Sheffield Edited April 8, 2017 by startline sid 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Rye website saying Rob Branford is now riding for us against Swindon tonight and I'm happy with that but am wondering can anyone explain who actually had priority, Rye or Sheffield? This is the ruling taken from the 2017 regs,: 16.1 Fixtures shall take priority as follows: FIM SGP, SWC, SGP Qualifying Meetings, FIM U21 World Speedway Championship Meetings, FIM Europe U21 Championship, British Championships (Senior, Junior), BSPA Shared and Fee Events, Official Competitions: 1. SGB Premiership; 2. SGB Championship; 3. National Development League. NB. Non-Official Competitions have no priority over any of the above. A Rider must be released to take part in a higher priority Meeting, unless he is “Doubling Up”, in which case the priority for a clash of Official Meetings is as follows: - 1) The Original Fixture if there is a clash with a re-arranged Fixture 2)1st priority to the owner of the rider 3) 2nd priority to the previous season club 4) 3rd priority to the league in which the owner club is a member. This would imply that Rye House have priority as 1) and 2) don't apply in this instance. Edited April 8, 2017 by tocha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
