Btw, is 10 years really ages? 

Depends how impatient you are I guess. I thought 9 years was ages when Poole went from 1994 to 2003 without winning the league but I was a teenager then! Also if you come close a few times it must feel longer, or like you've missed your chance?

In speedway terms in particular championship I don't consider it ages tbh. We've come close a few times as you say but every year under facenna ownership made the play offs. Never guaranteed but always know they'll be trying hard again the next year. 

We had nearly twenty years since the legendary 93/94 double double side and before that we had we'd won the inside of a donut!!

I did know about Glasgow's last being about 10 years ago, but didn't know anything previous to that. So compared to 20 years waiting definitely not as long. But as my original post was very tongue in cheek I had to make out 10 years was long for it to work! ;) Nothing personal meant at BV or Glasgow as I like them as clubs.:t:

As above, Danyon Hume is 4.88 with a 2.5% reduction.

That's an unofficial average until the BSPL publish the averages!

I don't see how that can be accurate with only 3 further qualifying KO Cup scores after the 23rd September cut-off for October averages (BSPL Issue 23)? Play-off scores don't count towards the CMA unless thats changed.

Of course if 4,88 is the true average that bodes well for Danyon staying at Poole.

Talk me through that? Most teams built to a 42 point limit for 2020. There were minimal changes when RS scheme was introduced. We're building to 42 points again for 2022. Nope I'm definitely not following you there

Because in 2020 teams were built to a figure below the 45.5 points needed to win a meeting.

And yet teams still won meetings!

As has been explained hundreds of times before 42 is the par score. A team has 30 rides in a meeting but its green sheet is worked out over 28 rides (7 riders @ 4 rides each).
