I was led to believe that unattached riders still got an average after 4 matches. Didnt know if tonight was his 4th or after Kent tomorrow?

I have been told it but dont know if its still active? The only benefit i can see is that it would prevent an unattached rider who is much better than his 3.00 grading taking multiple guest bookings a season, setting a high price and scoring big every meeting at reserve. Obviously not a common tactic but entirely possible and could see results dictated by whoever gets the joker guest in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it happened (was it Dan Gilkes?) and so some promoter demanded the rule change. Not sure if it is still there though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is still there though. Could have been Gilkes. I remember Spooner spent a year free and easy with no threat of being saddled with an average. Could easily happen with an up and coming rider. Especially if they get dialled in at a few tracks. I know its limited to twice per track as a guest but that could drive the higher bidder element further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Any rider gets an average after 4 meetings regardless of been unattached a guest named in a squad or number 8. We have looked into this intensely as our pilot has just turned 15. Potentially could do 4 meetings at number 8 and have one ride in each meeting. If he won the each heat would be saddled with a 12 point average 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he won the each heat would be saddled with a 12 point average To be fair if Luke won each ride he would be getting more than one race a night (but i know what you mean) . I guess Jody Scott is going into a 1-7 very soon otherwise he is getting a 6+ average pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he won the each heat would be saddled with a 12 point average I take it that when he doesn't get a ride (like v Berwick) as a number 8 then it doesn't count as a meeting?

Sings4Speedway Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Jody Scott re-declared into the Chargers side on a 3.00 which becomes 6.11 on 17/7......that is a brilliant bit of team building and makes them the strongest looking team in the league in my view.

I’m glad for him as otherwise he’d have been straddled with an average nobody would want him on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Nathan Stoneman seems to have suffered a broken shoulder blade riding for Berwick, best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, put in sterling effort all season for both Oxford teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerfulPierre Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Planning on coming down from Leicester for tomoorows play off between the Chargers and the Cubs but don't want to book on line if it's not entirely necessary. Does anyone know if we can just turn up and pay at the gate? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren’t any turnstiles just people scanning your tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will be close to a sell out crowd given the attendance figures at previous NDL meetings & if the worst case happens I'm sure you can book on your phone whilst at the stadium.
