(Clearly its usually mostly positive). Each live episode features a guest - often a rider, but has also had Middlo, Karlito(DJ), Scotty Mitchell, and SCB referee Christina Turnbull to name a few - all of whom are asked questions from the fans in the chat room. All episodes are available to view on You-Tube or to listen to as a podcast on all platforms. The lads intend to continue through the winter to maintain the speedway fix. Give it a try.......

Noelinho Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I'd love to see how Santa Claus does when he's not trying to artificially lower his average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he wouldn't say that because Poole would be guilty of illegal approach and it wouldn't reflect well on him either. He was more than happy to guest for Plymouth 3 weeks into the season at scunthorpe so obviously had no reservations about being paid then. Deary me,whatever he says obviously won’t be good enough for you.End off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I do think it is an error to reduce Team Averages considering the Championship has lost 2 Teams from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I saw no rhyme nor reason for the rolling average to be reduced to ten meetings, which allowed imbalances galore. It should be at least twenty matches, or even more. I'd also like to see the original match scoring, where the home team got a bonus point if they won by more than six, reinstated. Giving an extra point to the visitors only isn't a fair shake of the dice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with this, as you are giving home teams a point for doing something they really should be doing anyway (winning by +6). Three points for a home win should be suffice. With the away team getting a Bonus Point for a loss of -6 or less, two points for an away draw and four points for an away win (of any amount).fice, with points for the away team "getting close" (a losing bonus point for example if you lose by less than six) and 2 points for an away draw and four points for a +6 away win.

Bagpuss Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 But I think I agree with crescent girl, other than the four point result (away win by 7 or more) which is exceptional, all the other scenarios involve three points being won or shared....in effect an away loss by six or less meant pinching a match point off the home team and provided more last heat deciders. As an aside I'd get rid of tacticals for the home team, if you are that far behind on your own circuit then hard luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing away with it could leave to average manipulation as away sides lower their averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Bring back the 2 legged bonus point. Kept meaningless meetings interesting and even if team getting soundly beaten has something to race for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they did do that fan vote on it and think it was about 70% for it, so be interesting to see if they implement it or not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
