PotteringAround Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Either Danno Verge or Henry Atkins would be a good option, depending on which one is the Eastbourne third heat-leader and which one is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 So what has his average been recorded to from 6.52? And how is he eligible for an average reduction when he’s not been out injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Not the team we was expecting but its a team to support nevertheless, this season coming is just about getting laps in and giving us fans a chance to see rider race, at least we got that. They done the best they can in a not ideal situation, delaying the entry to the NDL and other reasons they were left to pick up the pieces FLINT - Berwick born and bread so was bound to go there BICKLEY - couldn't chance the colts not riding so had to go elsewhere FREEMAN - without Newcastle having an NDL team i'm sure he would have been in the team BAILEY - would have been in but not come over SMITH - was set to ride but had to do what's best and sign for Glasgow, to many fixture clashes PALIN - Cant ride NDL due to the rule of not being allowed to do all 3 leagues that's a big chunk of the team we still get to see riders develop (Mcgurks, JPB, Woodhull) and Coles so well done Adrian and Mark for 1, Continuing in the NDL 2, Managing to get 7 riders Kudos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 What would JPB's reduction be? As the Colts are currently 0.64 over the limit, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not been absent for three years and not been absent due to injury. Compton on the other hand would be eligible for reassessment, having not ridden since 2017.

TheWatcher Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Each rider's current average should be beside his name on the declared team line-ups in each league on the British Speedway Official Website. How difficult would that be to do? Or is it a big secret? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So his average must be reassessed to under 6.10? 1. Jack Parkinson Blackburn 8.44 2. Paul Bowen 3.36 3. Benji Compton (6.10 Left) 4. Ben Woodhull 3.67 5. Connor Coles 7.43 6. Harry McGurk 3.00 7. Sam McGurk 3.00 Wonder who the captain may be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridger 6.59 and Knight 8.83 last rode in 2017 as an example seem to be on same in respective Leagues for 2021. JPB and Compton both rode in 2017 ending 8.66 and 6.52 respectively, but can't fit under 35 on those averages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I am sure whatever the averages end up being it will be definitely "in the interests of British Speedway".... There's nothing to see here, move along now, have you no homes to go to please? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
