Wasn't our rider, he was a guest

He was a guest one year but did ride for us in 2004 when he just about held the team up.Anyway that is over the timescale as I thought about him

I know he rode for us at one point, but not this last decade... I did like Jason Lyons very much that year when he guested all them times

That is what I have said anyway it is not within the last 10 years

As Andrew has pointed out, you cheated by using Travis McGowan's converted figure of 11.72 when his actual 2010 average was 9.09. With this adjustment, Glasgow's total drops to 64.60, which is still 0.24 below Sheffield's team total. It never pays to cheat.

So Sheffield is still in the lead

I guessing that you did your homework & knew that Sheffield would not be beaten, that is why you started this thread.

Well done :rolleyes:

No, the only homework I did was working out the Sheffield team average. I would be quite pleasantly surprised if Sheffield's total were to remain unbeaten. I half expected that Glasgow and Kings Lynn would better us, but Glasgow has fallen short by a fraction and we've yet to hear from Kings Lynn.

You have to love speedway for the competitions that the sport and its fans come up with that are only fair to half the teams taking part. And then we get the nose thumbing from a fan of a team that was in the 2nd tier for all 10 years but that's now gone top tier.

Of the 12 teams in the league, only 7 have been 2nd tier (whatever the league is called) for all 10 years. How many years worth of riders have Eastbourne got to choose from in order to compete fairly with a team that can pick the best rider over 10 years?

Mind you, nice to see something unfair to Poole Pirates innit? :-)

That's why I have picked riders from Rye House 2009-2016, Lakeside 2018 and Edinburgh 2017 & 2019 to give myself a fair chance!

Probably because King's Lynn's last 2nd tier year was 2010? :blink:

Okay, I know I intended this competition for second-tier teams but I'd be quite happy for first tier teams to engage with this bit of fun provided they use first-tier averages.

Meanwhile, Kent fans can put the kettle on and make everyone else a cup of tea.

…. and I don't even mind fans of NL teams having a go if they fancy it.

Meanwhile, Sheffield still remain favourites to be crowned "Team of the Decade," unless someone steps up to beat the Tigers' total (and only Glasgow have come close so far).
