maneacat Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 12 hours ago, SPEEDY69 said: Disagree, why do fans need to know the team so early? Surely if you are an attending fan you'll go along - as long as they have a team before their press/practice day? Maybe it’s a case of “once bitten twice shy” . We thought we had a Team when we rocked up for Press and Practice day last year and then look what happened. Can’t blame fans for worrying or being sceptical in the circumstances. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have numerous constraints to work with as you all know ...... dont every team have constraints though? Its february, theyre taking the piss now. Its obvious the team will be a complete shambles at this point, just announce it and get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 So how do you work out an average for Jason Crump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be his last one, so who knows. I think he would average 9.00 at the Showground once dialled in, and probably 7 away from home at this stage in his career ?. I would of thought 7.5 would be fair, maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last established MA is 11.07 from 2008/9 as far as I can see. Art 16.2.6 reads: AMENDED MA’s have been amended with the Approval of the BSPA GC or Directors for: a) Riders who have been absent from British Speedway racing for more than 3 seasons (NB. The MA may be increased or decreased). Edited February 7, 2020 by NeilWatson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure i remember in the 90s my team literally going down to press and practise day before they confirmed anything a few times. One year it was after.. I remember that, and was going to mention it. And then they won the league title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Crump should be no higher than a 5.00, even then will struggle for a 4.00 average imo 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren2 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Well somehow that 11.07 would need converting to 8.35, as that is what would be left if Tungate and Ostergaard sign (or another 4 point rider) 1. Crump 2. Anderson 5.79 3. MPT 6.30 4. Harris 6 5. Tungate 6.59 6. Wilson-Dean 5.47 7. Ostergaard/ 4 pointer OR sign a 3 pointer and Crump can be 9.35 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'd say 7 would be fair enough personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers99 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hes not ridden professionally for how many years now? He would struggle physically and his machinery aswell. Would be a gamble on a 5.00 average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAST GATER Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 He is no Greg Hancock in that his style of riding and temperament do not lend itself to riding at such an advanced age( in speedway terms) IMO Greg love or hate him is a one off and we will still have to wait and see if he can still cut it ! .Crumpy should stay retired and turn out for fun by all means but don't make ythe same mistake as his father did and comeback nowhere near the rider he was . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 i don't think that Crump will be back It would mean that he would have to up root his family or spend the next few months on his own here in Britain and I cant see him doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However think I have seen somewhere that he will be in England with his son for the the entire summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambpanther Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Id take crump even on a 8+ average. Mainly because im expecting last 3 to be Tungate, Summers, Ostergaard.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 It's worth reminding people that Phil Crump made a comeback at Swindon after three years out, and he was quite a bit younger than Jason is now. He turned out to be very much a shadow of his former self, averaging just over 4 points a meeting in today's money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
