I guess adding his meetings from the last 2 seasons together to get a rolling average would be to hard for them to work out !!!! Officially, Lambert has ridden only one league match - others are as a guest, and/or in play-offs, which don't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same reason that KOC-Up matches aren't included, i.e. because that would create an imbalance in the number of meetings per team. It doesn't quite work out like that, simply because of injuries, line-up changes, etc., but that's the principle behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it matters though, surely the idea of an average is to have an average score for that rider, as long as it's for the same standard of meeting I cannot fathom why cup or play-off meetings are excluded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he has ridden for them so far, Lawson could make four or five good starts at Foxhall and score really well. Weather report: a shower passed across Kesgrave at about 15:50 (over by 16:00) and could hear thunder to the north (maybe a couple of miles or so, e.g. heading Woodbridge-ish). The belt of storms stretching NE to SW as they move across the country might hit Foxhall around 18:00 or 19:00 - if they haven't petered-out.

Lambo has ridden 2 home and 4 away meetings for Lynn. In those 6 he has averaged 9.60... I think he needed 3 home and 3 away to get a new average though. 2023 Rider Statistics – British Speedway Official Website Edited October 2, 2023 by Bald Bloke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't quite work out like that, simply because of injuries, line-up changes, etc., but that's the principle behind it. It made sense in the past not to include KOC matches, but not now. Prem clubs race 24 meetings, but the rolling aves only count the last 20, so that creates an imbalance where some riders will be dropping 4 tough matches, others could be dropping 4 easy matches. In the Champ clubs only raced 16 league matches, so their rolling aves will include 4 (minimum) league matches from 2022. Is it really better to count the last 4 league matches from last season than counting the BSN series / KOC matches instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is riding well recently so that is good for Sheffield although I dont see him scoring as well as Harris might have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
