The meeting won’t affect the average now. I’m guessing Tungate has now buggered off back to Poland and seeing as there’s little riding on the meeting, Ipswich have requested and been granted permission to reinstate Riss. 

I'd rather have Erik anyway ..... not that I'm a Witches fan lol

And does he have to be,, so he can be used next season? 

Think the restriction on reintroduction is more to do with dropped riders than injured ones

Plus at the end of the day they make it up to suit and just the use the "best interests" clause as a catch all should it be needed

If the Witches want Riss in 2023 he will be there regardless of how any regulation is currently written

Who actually cares anyway as the season is done with. Will they rerun the final if Ipswich win at Sheffield ? No!!!

so can someone actually explain what the point of the changes are unless Ipswich plan to get hammered at Sheffield( if it takes place) to lower the averages

even I , who loves speedway is pretty fed up with how the season has all ended

The rather ironic thing is if Ipswich win at Sheffield then we finish top of the league so would then have faced wolves in the semi final. 

I would say it would then have been an Ipswich v Belle Vue grand final with Belle Vue still coming out as champions.

Maybe Tungate could come back in as an injury replacement for Danny King who is nursing at least one broken finger on his clutch hand and let Danny concentrate on winning more trophies with Poole?:t:

There might only be one league match to ride & the pairs however having Riss back is massive.

I think everyone is in agreement that the side needs to be built around Doyle & Riss next term

And Danyon

Using Doyle means we really do need source the best bargain averaged riders.  Not sure if any top riders will be racing here,, but if they do,, he will take a hit on his average to.

I'm chuffed to see Danny winning things - even if it is with Poole!

A great human being as well as a whole hearted racer

I remember having a chat with a young Danny King after the disappointment of the Play off run off defeat at Wolves(2004 or 5), poor lad was gutted. I told him to get his head up he'd been brilliant at reserve for the Witches that night and was destined to have a great career! Sometimes sport just doesn't go your way no matter how much you try or want it - just like life!

I hope he remembers that night and conversation when he looks back - he has had a good career!!

That's what Ipwsich thought they had done this year with Batchelor, Riss & Heeps, however be finishing well below the points limit they lost any advantage of signing riders on "false" averages

ok so if Doyle 10.32  it could leave 31.68 for 6 other riders an average of 5.28 per rider

1. Doyle 10.32
2. Batchelor 5.57
3. Riss 6.00
4. Cook 
5. King 6.57 *
6. Barker 4.42 *
7. Hume 4.09 *

* Brit reduction

The Witches will need to unearth a rider or two from abroad or maybe take Cook from Poole and lose King to allow for a big hitter

1. Doyle 10.32
2. Batchelor 5.57
3. Riss 6.00
4. Barker 4.42
5. Klindt/Lambert ;)
6. Cook 4.00
7. Hume 4.09

Think Ipswich need to take at least one if not TWO risks somewhere

King and Ben Cook make a decent racing pair - as evidenced every Poole meeting!!
