The rules will be changed to suit, weeks after every other team is finalised Honestly that would not surprise me...

Even with a reduction his average would still be 8.00. I expect there will be a new 10% reduction rule added for New Zealander’s to encourage more of them to ride in Britain for this season to make him fit though, don’t panic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*JJ Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Depends on whether Godfrey or Mason offer him the most cash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan555 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Let’s all be honest Bradley Wilson Dean being on an 8 plus average is a tad unrealistic considering when he last rose in the championship he was around the 5 and half mark and wasn’t setting the world alight therefore fur us to have him as hardly that crazy.

Yeah you should be able to have him regardless of his average or the rules,I,m sure all the other promotions will be happy with that,not sure where not setting the world alight is in the rulebook it maybe under in the best interest of Speedway section but as a Plymouth supporter I don't think that applies to us we've never been party to those conditions.

Crump's 2019 Premiership average conveniently dropped from 8.21 to 8.00 so he could just enter the Championship on a 12.00 average. Is that not in the best interest of Speedway?

I think Godfrey is going to find a way to make Bradley Wilson Dean fit ( altering the rules ) if not think he will look abroad to be honest ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor wouldn't let anyone down and would be a good shout; but I think it will be a 4 or 5 point rider either a new Scandinavian or an Aussie; either one already here or an immanent arrival and I also agree where you state "we could be well under the limit" as that will be a given Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebaron Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 5 minutes ago, Spiderman1 said: hes not leaving australia for a very short season if nothing at all,nothing is in stone, and hes below them pair in ability Theres a bit more "commitment" on both sides if its either JMac or ZK. Both need to upsticks and come to the UK and they are here for the duration. Not saying that CM would not have the commitment but the club have more invested in an Aussie coming over than filling the slot with an available Brit ? With the latter knowing our form for "changing riders" I reckon CM would not get the time that JMac or ZK would. Harsh but true. That said we flew Jedd List half way round the world only to bin him after a couple of matches ! ?. This season being truncated as it is irrespective of how the Scorpions turn out I would like to see us stick with the plan if injuries allow. We arent going to have an out and out No1 and I think we can accept that and just make best of it come what may ?. Its more about just getting through and having regular racing on the card. Rather than getting too down if we get walloped here there and everywhere with this line up. I think the management are 100% behind the Rising Star programme and for us thats Jordan Palin who should be one of "the Stars" of that. It does add more expectation on his young shoulders but we are pinning are hopes on him being our "trump card" from the protected heats and scoring in the "open heats" then the absence of a No1 problem is maybe less of one ? There simply is not a rider out there that would get near to Jake Allens scoring ? Add in the uncertainty around travel and the virus into and out of Europe and it limits us further. It is what it is I'm afraid ? making us bottom two candidates as much as it pains me. All the Homes will be close run and all the Aways will be hidings !. Infact Id go as far as to say we will not pick up a single match point away from home this season looking at how the rest of the teams are set up. Clearly I hope Im wrong because 100% support the club but you cant go to places like Poole, Glasgow. Eastbourne, Edinburgh even Plymouth ! and face off against two No1s when you havent got and out and one No1 in your line up ? Harsh I know but thats the reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
