Just as well my gold membership doesn't rely on projections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were up and down more than a fiddler’s elbow last season. Can’t think of many meetings where they both clicked in the same match. Will Paco be back.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished on 43 points with any Brits still to get the 2.5% reduction. Sorry Poole did finish on just over 43 so it would indeed be just 3pts they have to shed.

szkocjasid Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I would have considered Max Clegg or Matthew Wethers for team spots if their averages hasn't suddenly gone up. Not sure why they really have to remove the Newcastle fixtures from the averages as all they are doing in making averages less realistic. In this case almost certainly putting two riders, who have been loyal to British speedway, out of a job! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same with Eastbourne averages too which in some cases left riders with a more favourable average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders on the up (like Brennan) got a lower average than his ability, which helped Glasgow build a stronger team, but didn't really help him find a club as he was always going to get a team. Kennett was left on a very unfavorable average & was lucky to get signed on an ave 1 point above his ability. Worked out for Plymouth when he got injured, otherwise they would only have got 7.5 averaged guests for the season! If they want to limit doubling up between the top 2 divisions, making it harder for Wethers & Clegg (who were not likely to get a Prem spot) to get a Champ team, wont help that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Really strange feeling hoping cookie gets back to what he was 2/3 seasons ago even if it is with the enemy. Seems to be the most hated rider in the country and in all honesty don't know why. Even when was with Edinburgh before you applauded him cause he was a bloody good rider who was a pleasure to watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great lad and a Monarchs legend…..he bleeds blue. Will never forget his leadership during our purple patch and back to back league titles. My personal favourite was the last heat wonder in the 4s at Redcar, balls of steel ride round the boards for a max and to bring home the bling. The heat 15 masterclass with Sam against Somerset is a close second. He was more than a big hitter during that spell, more a sledgehammer, and a certainty in heat 15 if you needed it. He will be welcomed back at Armadale if that’s what he chooses…..just remember the passport to get through at Harthill. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
