But riders who stay around six to seven points all season, and then towards the end drop back to nearer six, usually get a team place the year after because promoters think 'there is improvement in that average'.. They also get plenty of guest bookings throughout the season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Heat 15 now on you tube under Swindon speedway. Make sure you get the correct heat 15 as the one from the first meeting is on there too. Swindon v Wolves Heat 15 8th August 2019 should allow you to find it.

Official green sheet averages are rolling averages so include meetings from 2018 too that’s why Batchelor not at number 1 currently. In 2019 league meetings before last night Doyle 8.32, Batchelor 8.68. The point is people have been comparing him to Adams, Briggs, Crump etc, those riders regularly had 10 point averages in lot tougher leagues. Doyle is an 8 this year in a poor quality league. How to reply to this....i’ll Start with this, Doyle has done what a number 1 should have iMO, he’s won us points/meetings when needed. I’m not saying he’s anywhere near the riders mentioned in your post. Batch is scoring well & that because Doyle has taken the pressure away from him (again what a true number 1 does). Batch rides at 5 & partners the best rider in the league in a couple of races. Averages are deceiving so I think you need to look at the bigger picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Sorry to bring this meeting up again but I meant to comment on this at the time. After watching a couple of heats from the back straight I made my way back to my mates round by the start for heat 15 .Walking around the first bends I noticed people leaving. Obviously to get off the car park. Why would you do that tho? Last heat decider which is usually the best race. Very odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Were they actually leaving or just getting near to the exit ready to run for it as soon as heat 15 finished? I know people do that at Leicester, also Coventry in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 No ,they were actually leaving and cars driving off the car park. It took us about 10 minutes to get off the car park. I can understand some making a run for it but to miss a last heat decider seems bonkers to me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inevitability of it probably hit home. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
