Daniel Smith Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 If the goalposts have been moved, it's a clear effort to shaft the Panthers as some promoters will detest and be jealous that they've been able to put together such a strong side.

Arch Stanton Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 2 hours ago, dontforgetthefueltapsbruv said: Could this be to do with the reductions for British riders Speedway Star today quotes that Ipswich have 13.48 points available for the final 2 signings For this to be correct it would mean King and Lawson DO NOT get the reduction So either the Speedway Star is wrong or the goalposts have moved which impacts some completed teams....... Again a lack of transparency leaves fans in the dark I’d say if it’s wrong it’s more than likely CL has got it wrong rather than the Star? There were plenty of quotes from Chris in that article today so I’d assume someone from the Star has been speaking to Chris about the latest at Ipswich. Could be wrong maybe the Star done their own sums who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair, many others have as well! They make their own rules so bloody complicated that even those heavily involved don’t always understand them Edited January 17, 2019 by Arch Stanton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Harris rode in it before King. Cook started at same time as Lawson in 08..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluTiger Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 8 hours ago, Skidder1 said: Maybe the BSPA averages have already had the 2.5% reduction applied - where appropriate?! They don't. Charles Wright has a final figure on the bspa website of 5.27 which is his average before the reduction... 'That means he comes into the Panthers’ line-up on a bargain 5.14 average (discounted from 5.27) – and promoter Ged Rathbone feels that gives real power to the side at second-string'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask it in a different way as I usually know you then you might get a result. Then again, best just let it run its course Neil usually comes on pretty quick when on safe ground but he might have said all that he needed to say and there is nothing to see here which is fair enough. Time will tell whether there is a fire under the smoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
