His average was current. Like saying Morris is being dropped at Swindon and we bring him in. Then you quote his average from the end of last season! Well the BSPA f#*ked on their website again.They most definitely put 7.26 on their website when he first signed which has duly disappeared in the last month or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do i , really impressed with him both home and away, ok Leicester are not the best team but the way he rode at their track especially in the second meeting was impressive.

Hmmmm .... think you’ll find Poole were supporting every other club until they signed their latest round of ringers!

Haha, we have no ringers just 7 good riders performing as a team with great team spirit and the manager isn't moaning about his riders under performing. We have made only two unforced changes.

ouch Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 It would have been 7.26 if he had signed at the start of the year for a PL club. He signed part way through the season so he then used his converted CL average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed part way through the season so he then used his converted CL average. But there are so many discrepancies on averages.You have Toft and Nielsen sign part way through the season but come in on their previous Premier averages.Although they hadn't gained a new average in the Champioship when they signed in the PL,so this could be used as an excuse.But then you have NBJ who too hadn't gained a new average in the Championship when signed for Rye yet they don't give him his old PL average instead they convert his CL average. The wonderful world of BSPA averages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yes, it’s been particularly poor this year. I’ve emailed them about averages but had no response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Turns out the Lynn game plan worked perfectly for this meeting. Didn’t bother putting the effort in on the motocross track as we knew we were always going to finish above Poole. Led them into a false sense of security and then smashed them last night. It’s clear Lynn were never trying for this one, we never wanted to win it. Edited August 30, 2018 by therefused 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but taking last night as the 'return' fixture that would give Poole the edge on aggregate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starboy118 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I still have a big grin on my face after last night's meeting. Poole had their arses whopped. King's Lynn dished out one hell of a beating. (Amazing what you can do with a bit of copying and pasting!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise Poole handed out a much bigger arse whopping to Kings Lynn and could have had 65 but for a fall and ef. We would still have won on aggregate.

We would still have won on aggregate. Agree Steve but at the moment you just don't know which Poole team will turn up. Cannot remember so much inconsistency in so many top class riders incl Jakobsen. My take on it is that with last night not being important they are keeping their GSA's low with a view to next season being at Poole. Def the case with Kurtz/Wory/Jak. I think if they keep their current GSA's (as per Poole website rider stats after last night) they will be good for 2019 plus gives Matt plenty of upside in team building. Maybe also with one or even both Holders back ?? Strength in depth and not one anywhere near 8 points GSA. Could also be important if there are changes planned for the League structure and if they are going to implement say a rule to incorporate at least 1 if not 2 UK N/L youngsters per team. After Jon Cook leaked a comment about the BSPA's exciting plans for 2019. We shall see. The point being that Matt Ford probably already knows what moves are being discussed in respect of 2019 already and may be planning accordingly.

The really sensible ones know it is sometimes foolish to rely on what appears to be the plan in August being the one agreed in November, like FNR Monday and Thursday and only one over 8. They have plans B,C etc in the hope that they will cover the last minute fag packet proposals that are put forward and agreed.

Throwing in the odd duff meeting doesn't really alter averages all that much when on the rolling scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
