 worrall's average is 5.22 how can THJ average be below that?

 

THJ average from last time he was here was 4.64. He isn’t as good as you think then.

do you think fake low averages dont exist , and every riders average is a true reflection? ...how many matches was that 4.64 based on ... imo a rider of his calibre should be around 6.5/7 in our league

He has never achieved that level in the uk whatever you think he should have done, 4.64 is his official rolling average .

Not worthy an apology bit like when someone orders online and puts their delivery post code in wrong lol 

Lol I was being sarcastic, apologies if that didn’t come across

I see drew kemp has been dropped by Sheffield.  Wouldn’t he be a better bet at reserve than sarjeant

[Baldyman]

Has Drew had a poor season for Sheffield? I thought he was scoring well early on,,, or was that the problem, scored loads at reserve then moved into team and found it tough. We have a familiar story. 

 

Hope it doesnt do Drew any harm.

Should? He has never achieved that over here. Some we know are on fake averages. 5 is about what you can expect from him. He has been in downfall for years.

His 2019 GSA is 3.95 so he's not been ripping it up. 

It looks as though his form has tailed off at no 2 .  He would at least be in the points at home for Ipswich I would expect.  Maybe it’s an option we will weigh up if sarjeant flunks

So the Ipswich team has been agreed by the BSPA. And it's on the offical figures. 

Niels 7.38

Chris 6.83

Richard 6.75

Danny 6.42

Cam 6.26

Jake 5.80

James 3.00

Total 43.13

Thought the team had to be under 42.50?   

Edit.... bspa can't add up. As those 7 riders aves don't equal 43.13. Wonder how many more mistakes are made but not realised.  I've been blocked by BSPA for asking

Sssssshhh

For a sport that is reliant on averages... says it all about the 'sport' when the governing body can't even add up 7 figures correctly

Speedway has many many nerds that enjoy nothing better than getting hot and excited over stats and figures, the bspa should give the job to one or a few of these. 

I'm sure they could do a far better job.

What’s the 1st of September got to do with it? We’ve  re-declared  now not from Sunday onwards.

Has James Sarjeant ever achieved a 3 point PL average?

He couldn’t get an average when he did well as a “fast track reserve” and I can’t see that he ever achieved a 3 point average after; he’s always been allocated the 3 point minimum.

Decimal places on an abacus are much more complicated. Even worse with a handful of pebbles.

[Baldyman]

So fellow fans, would you like to stay put in this league, or move back down?  With only 6 different teams visiting it has been a bit of the same.   

[Siggytastic]

First half of the season was great. Fresh teams, fresh faces smoothly run meetings with no/few falls and an early finish with closer racing plus of course a team that was riding above itself. But now I am unsure which league will be the better but you would assume there will be radical changes to the structure (as every year )

For me I’d want to 100% stay in the top league. The standard of racing far better and the gulf in class between the top of teams and reserves makes for much better entertainment and close racing imo in premiership than championship.

Foxhall is a tricky track with the grip and how tight you turn - not conducive to 2.00 national league wobblers imo, whereas is the likes of say a James sarjeant pops out a heat leader could conceivably race closely and team ride with him at this level with his skill set.

id like to see a few more riders back next season, if for example Niels and or maybe zagar could be tempted, Chris holder has expressed a desire to ride here again next season that should make for a more even spread of top boys for everyone.

we should have the whole winter for team building rather than be on the back foot making a late decision to change leagues so hopefully be able to grab some better top end firepower!

would like to see Heeps, Allen and KP back from this years team. Niels would be fantastic too and then see, Poole and Swindon aren’t going to be able to keep all of their top end strength especially if holder senior is on the way back to Poole so should be a bit of a move around the league and riders available.

all if buts and maybes I know but regardless I enjoy watching better riders personally. I also think we have to include drew kemp at 7 next season which will allow for more points at the top of building

What about more teams?  Could do with a few more, but don't see where they would come form, and can't see panthers staying up, I think Buster has already reported big loses.
