erimus11 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Any thoughts of travelling up for this fixture have been knocked in the head with the latest team news Both the Anderson brothers will not ride as their flight back from Denmark has been delayed, Bears can only use National league riders as replacements Also Busch is ill and won't ride , rider replacement will be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foamfence Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 So it's Newcastle select v Anyone who has a bike and can get there? I'm sure the huge and appreciative crowd will be treated to some close and meaningful battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJC71 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Was goning to turn up tonight but the Redcar team is a total turn off. 7v7 no guests or rider replacement is the exception nowadays. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Somebody really needs to sort out the Rules and Regulations of Speedway pretty damned quick. What an unprofessional and incompetent lot those who are responsible appear to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkendlass Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Didn't think I would ever say this, but it's a " no show" from the Bears, so it's a no show by me. Not wasting my petrol and entrance money, refreshments etc on such a farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an unprofessional and incompetent lot those who are responsible appear to be. Really? The rules are in place (for this type of situation), to try and stop riders missing meetings "willy nilly." Whilst I understand that this situation is probably totally genuine, Redcar could well be fined for fielding an understrength team, but, at the end of the day, it is likely Newcastle who will lose out financially, as fans could (as has already been mentioned by some on here) decide to stay away.

I was talking about the Averages. Very few, if any appear to understand, with any degree of accuracy, how they work. You only have to look at this Thread to see that. I assume they are part of the Rules and Regulations too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 redcar should be fined with the fine going to the diamonds as compensation for what will be a lower crowd whether redcar then fine andersens is upto them however this is meant to be a professional sport ...and its upto the riders to get themselves to the track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leander Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 15 minutes ago, NeilWatson said: Art 16.2 of the Speedway Regulations covers averages in detail. Yep. Clear as mud. 16.2.1 ESTABLISHED MA’s are calculated, for a specified number of applicable Meetings, taking account of the number of heats and points (excluding Bonus Points) that a rider has scored. The applicable Meetings are: SGB Premiership: League Meetings, excluding the Play-Offs SGB Championship: League Meetings, excluding the Play-Offs National Development League: League Meetings only. Riders appearing as a Guest or as a #8 are ignored (SGBP & SGBC Only) The BSPA are responsible for the calculation, production and circulation of Rider’s MA’s Why then are Championship Shield meetings included in the Greensheet Averages when 16.2.1 says League meetings., and makes no mention of the Shield or KOC (which aren't included). Plus they added the bit about rolling averages about six weeks into the season ! Just asking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 through injury and a retirement ………. not riders failing to make it ……… big difference and Newcastle's guests have strengthened the team away from home ……………………. so when a team with an average of 36.9 rolls into town with r/r and 2 nl riders ………. its hardly going to be entertaining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
