Regards Bridger ? thats not a bad shout ? albeit I thought I read he didnt want a Championship club and was content to ease his way back at Kings Lynn ?. That said with Stars Thurs and Scorps Friday is it too much out of his way to do 4 more rides at Scunny the next night ? Certainly the more rides the better for his comeback. Ok he wont be like for like for Jake but we'd get one of British Speedways once highly rated prospects on around a 6pt average who has the ability to be a top rider in this league ? Might add some further interest to the season watching him make a comeback. ? He would make us that bit stronger on paper its a fact. Auty; Pijper, Tommy, Aarnio Bridger Palin & Lambo.

proud panther Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Put BWD in as your final rider, & it doesn't look a bad team, especially at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly would ; I have no idea what average BWD would come in on. But there must be some reduction due to his not riding here since 2018 ? He has gone well at Scunny and would strengthen that line up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just had a scan through the archives & BWD has a Championship average from 2018 BUT rode in the Premiership in 2019 so that will be his most recent average to be used, which was 5.47. This, converted by 1.5 for Championship racing gives 8.21. we only have 7.73 in total to play with. With him being a New Zealander, I am not sure if he is entitled to a reduction even though he rode in the NDL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petecc Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 BWD Was British when he wanted to ride in the NL. I'm sure he could be again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what qualifies a rider for a reduction, he was injured last year because he pulled out before Covid kicked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
