ruffdiamond Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Don't think Wethers gets a reduction, so it might be 40.99,,, which is pretty close Bjarne???,,, an 11+ ave. Looks off putting to most, but if the same rules as apply as they did last season, ie. Masters, Ellis. Would his average change after the first set of GSA's?,,, as long as he'd completed in any qualifying fixtures? If so it might be worth a serious look at.

arnieg Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 16.2.6 Any rider who has been or is eligible to compete in the NDL (and has not represented another FMN, other than the ACU) will receive a 2.5% reduction on their MA. Wethers rode in the NL (CL as it was then) for Armadale in 2003-4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had this debate before with some fans and, as well as you know, its sometimes difficult to get folk to understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Let’s hope it can be sorted and that the Diamonds run this year. Sport can’t afford to lose more tracks and any sport is better with local rivalries. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enotian Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Looks like Ricky Wells and Cameron Heeps won't be back to Edinburgh. Not out and out No.1 riders but if we go for strength in depth they could do a job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be a bad signing as he rides Brough really well although a bit of a gater. First and foremost we need to hope that we are still going as a speedway team. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew that's steep but might mean he's available, if fit, as I can't see anyone else taking that risk. Can't see him achieving 8.75 but if he returns to form (the first New Zealander to score a top division maximum since..... one Mark Thorpe) he could average over 7.00. Doesn't he have history with Rathbone?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
