I didn't say it was a definite. Looks like they have set the precedent with Clegg however. But then this is the BSPA so it can be any average. 

Not confirmed anywhere. But shouldn't be.

Disagree - Worrall should be 6.55

Its Clegg that shouldnt be 2

Sadly I can't go to the fans forum Thursday night. As there is plenty of people on here moaning about this years team, I wonder will anyone dare to tell Buster that the team is rubbish?

So the problem of "My way or the highway" is still there, or perceived to be. A fan's forum should be a sharing of views and the offering of feedback. It may not be a rubbish team but any fans going should feel free to comment on it's strengths or weaknesses. Is Brundle going to make a difference in the promotional team or will the "rod of iron" method continue?

Is that really important to you ??     It appears you have difficulty in separating  opinions to  actually moaning.       On another thread of this forum where posters are  making predictions  the majority are saying Lynn are weak.. , but don't let that worry you.      My philosophy has always been, speak as you find, and if that offends you,  that's unfortunate..,         But I don't hunt in packs.......

Monday 18 June, home fixture v Rye House. The same evening as England play a World Cup football match! How did Buster stand for that?!

Believe it or not there are a lot of people not interested in football and a lot of football fans are only interested in their own club and not the international teams.

Not totally a good thing that it clashes with an England footy match, loads of people watch England even if they aren't football fans particularly just like they go to Cardiff when they aren't really speedway fans haha

Exactly, Mr Trees. The point is that all England World Cup fixtures have a detrimental effect on attendances at all kinds of other events. Most sports promoters would try to avoid clashing with one, if at all possible.

Clegg only did 4 matches, Ritchie did 7. If one is fair then both are. Can't see a logical  reason for one and not the other. 

There is no logic. Richie was told 6.55 when we pointed out their mistake. The fact it’s not been made public baffles me along with all the other discrepancies this close season, the worst I can remember. 

Their mistake has probably cost Richie a top league team place. 

The sport is utterly bent with little sign of change.

TBH I didn't think the governing body could muck up the averages any worse than the multiplyer farce of last year. However it seems they really can. Assessed and reassessed averages for some and not others with no real logic to the decisions is making it shape up to be the most corrupt season in a long time.

We should be doing everything we can to endure British riders have the team spots they need. Making an average stick after a handful of meetings is plain ridiculous. 

And if they are helping one (Clegg) to a nice low average after meetings you can count on 1 hand and penalising another using the logic is plain bonkers. I see no reason why they can't both be using their start of 2017 averages as neither did enough meetings to qualify for a new 2018 top flight average. 

It seems the required amount of meetings to qualify can change rider on rider.  Corrupt to the core.

Silly me thought Speedway was a summer sport. One fixture in June and three in July (two less than a week apart). 

Yep that's good planning on someone's part!

Also no home Easter weekend meeting that's fantastic planning but I guess the thinking there is all about stock cars

Surely you know the score by now.    One  meeting in June;   2 in July ; probably   6 in August  and remaining 10  the first week in Sept.  :t:

But weren't we told things were going to be done differently, to please the fans. Not seen many signs of it yet!
