Nicolai Klindt is (bizarrely) a 6.61 rider in the Premiership and a 6.94 rider in the Championship (maybe more motivated when riding for Poole?) - surely they would take the highest, i.e. convert the Premiership average to get fair (and more realistic) figure for the 2019 Championship (9.91)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dan bewley has a higher ave in the Premiership than he has in the Championship !! I’m not sure how they’ll do it, what ever way it will be good for some and not for others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last a discussion as to how the conversion from BPL to BCL might apply. Twice I have asked this question but to no avail. I hope they use factual 2018s BPL averages otherwise it defeats the object of their proposed intentions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it be great if the powers that be did actually use facts from one season to the next to create some resemblance of continuity. However it seems they prefer to fiddle with things thereby ensuring confusion reigns supreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very popular with the fans when he rode for us. Other names I would consider are Ricky Wells - I understand he is based around Doncaster so a weekly trip to Leicester might be preferable to Edinburgh. Nick Morris and Rory Schlein could be looking for championship clubs seeing as Lakeside/Rye House don't seem to be running and Ipswich have moved up. I would imagine Connor Mountain will be in one of the reserve spots and I think we would then need a 'big hitter' in the other reserve position. About 11.25. Still keen?

Lenny Lion Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I fully support the drop down to Championship. I for one really struggled to make Monday’s . I found myself attending more Coventry meetings then Lions. I am going for a team of : 1. Richie Worrall (8.00) 2. James Sarjeant (4.16) 3. Nikolaj B Jakobsen (6.58) 4. Josh Bates (6.54) 5. Nikolai Klindt (6.94) 6. Connor Mountain (3.57) 7. Jordan Jenkins (2.00) Total 37.79 Worrall - Highly impressive in British semi @ Leicester & always seems to like riding at BP Sarjeant- Did a solid enough job in 2018 before getting the chop, a club asset & on a cheap average. B Jakobsen- Sensational in 2018 when guesting for Leicester & already a fans favourite also could it be a indication that he will now live & work along aside David Howe who is based in Leicester ? Bates- Made it clear his intentions that he wants to be with Leicester in 2019 when he would surely have known they planned to drop down. Klindt- Former Lions captain & fans favourite, On a steal of an average , he made it clear he wanted to join Leicester instead of Poole in 2018 & also fairly local track for him. Mountain- Watching him for Coventry at BP his improvement was massive & by the end of the season he was scoring well in the Premiership for Leicester, also a recently signed club asset makes him a certainty for 2019. Jenkins- Someone who impressed me during 2018 when he rode for Mildenhall & also guesting at BP during Coventry meetings. Someone i expect to double down to NL again but deserves his chance in the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit wary about which average is used for Klindt (see previous) - has this burning issue been decided yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he isn’t doing Championship in 2019 then i would take Proctor 6.96 or Barker 7.05 again effective averages 1/10/18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Lion Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I think its going to be Sarjeant & Mountain. Both club assets & both on the right sort of average for the lower end of the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupidstunt Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Ricky Wells could be at Number 1 he did finish off there last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I think the averages applied will be recent to the league they have ridden in. If a rider has ridden in both leagues & signs for a Championship club then that average will apply.(same as 2018) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
