Too many details leaves a lack of wiggle room later in the season when someone wants to pull a fast one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems yes as written in bspa statement, no doubt the managers know the detailed wording, if they have made it up yet.

woodenspoon Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I agree with your statements A Orlov, but please do not mention anything to do with a certain Southern club on this thread as we all know what happens, the thread will be taken over by their posters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 So can we sign 7 British riders who all rode in NL, meaning we will have a team 17.5% higher than the 42 50.  That's the way to go surely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly worth the trouble, you're better off signing riders likely to increase their average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 1. M.Fricke 8.12 2. N.B.Jakobsen 4.39 3. C.Cook 7.45 4. D.Bewley 7.05 5. M.Zagar 8.00 6. J.Etheridge 4.15 7. N.Greaves 3.17 Ave: 42.33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 If you ignore Woffinden & riders aged over 35 (surely not NL recently), I'm not sure a team of 7 Brits who completed the 2018 season regardless of points limit would win the league. Lambert would have to do wonders in heats 13 & 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth Berge wasn't all that great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Doing some team managers work today in work. This is what I would like to see and probably a real possibility. Will give us strength at reserve for sure Fricke 8.12 Cook 7.44 Bewley 7.09 Worrall 6.00 Garrity 4.87 Allen 4.59 Lidsey 4 =42.11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 They won away at Somerset and Swindon when it really mattered and got into the play offs. It could have been a completely different story if Bewley and Cook had not been injured but that's speedway. I would certainly keep Fricke, Cook and Bewley. Garrity is too inconsistent and too injury prone and would presumably come in on his PL average of 5.71, less 2.5%, if it applies to all who have ridden in the NL. Worrall is on a very attractive average if he can fully recover over the winter and return on the form he was in at the beginning of last season. We need stronger reserves and Allen would certainly fit the bill as would Lidsey, who did well in Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
