If Jenkins is no longer eligible to be a rising star, then he'd be due a 25% reduction and signs on a 3.16 average. That would mean a change to the RS eligibility, but I haven't seen anything announced about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I've not seen much of his races so cant comment on the number of falls he's had, but looking simply at the stats. Hume went from 4.09 to 3.87, but as he was stepping out of the RS position, that seems a decent season to me. Then look at the Prem aves of Rowe (3.76), Dan T (3.70), Gilkes (3.67) & Bailey (3.57). Now Hume has a lower Champ average than all these riders, so to have a higher (non-RS) ave than all these "rising stars" seems quite an achievement to me? He also has a lower Champ average than the top "rising stars" Jenkins (4.21), Kemp (4.04) & Flint (4.00) but is not far below them in the Prem. Think (some) people have been too harsh on him imo Lovely lad, 100% commitment every race. Feel like at 26 Danyon has reached his level tho, which is a good middle order rider in the second tier and reserve in prem so for me the likes of Jenkins, flint etc would be more favourable moving forward given they’ve seemed to reached a similar levels/surpassed Danyon slightly when several years younger and more scope to continue progressing next year to even higher standard. This year if Erik had been fully back to his best and Danyon hadn’t fallen off twice in the home leg of the final in scoring positions we’d have been champions - Ellis should be a big upgrade on the Erik we saw this year and Jenkins a rider with more potential upside to grow to higher level than Danyon through the season so we’ve significantly improved our weakest two team spots in a team that came within a whisker of winning the lot this year! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferne Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 12 hours ago, Hooky said: Who cares bout cup when you can win the league lol bottle jobs I would prefer to say Sheffield won the league rather than Ipswich bottled it as that implies the only way Sheffield could win was if Ipswich capitulated which in fairness they did but Sheffield still needed to ride well to overhaul that deficit, not sure Sheffield deserve to be known as champions of the league just purely because Ipswich Witches "botled it". On another note the teams so far announced look decent to me and looking forward to what should be a competitive season lets hope injuries are kept to a minimum and we see some cracking racing.

TTT Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Why do KL get a bye in the KO Cup for being sh1te whilst the Champions have to enter the competition at the Quarter-Final stage. Should be the other way round. Edited December 1, 2023 by TTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Not sure on the reasoning TTT, dunno if clubs were told they had a bye or whether they wanted fewer meetings and requested it, but personally I’d rather have the extra meeting to go and watch. Not enough meetings as it is for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenkins himself has said he's only the second rider to move out the Rising Star pool, so he must be getting the 25% discount, which means he starts at 6.

2ndbend Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Who would have thought that with our top 2 averages we would end up 1 point under the limit. Should we have gone for another 8 point big hitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall a saving of £39 if you attend all 13 fixtures, or 20 quid a meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Not as big as the savings I've made over the last few years,,, but hey it's still a saving for the people that will attend all meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Oh no,,, always praised ipswich for free kids under 16,,,but now only free under 6.,,,can they really be desperate for that extra 100 quid or so a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 100% wrong move to charge Kids, especially if its just to gain £1 a head BSPL should have made it mandatory that all clubs done kids 16 and Under FREE for the good of the sport 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
