Think we need to use this as an excuse for a rebuild tbh, don't know who we can bring in though but that would decide who's dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep the others as I think they will improve over the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on averages as assume will be converted prem averages and not their 2023 champ versions would come in on. Would they be available even with Poland? I think we have a gap in fixtures if ever was a chance this would be it I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a gap in fixtures if ever was a chance this would be it I'd say Wanted Rowe at the start of the season so I wouldn't be too unhappy though would he be on a ~5.80 average which he would have been on if he started the season (i think) or a 6.45 converted average. Might be too big and poland could get in the way. U21 in a few weeks maybe someone there could be signed if they have a good showing (and arent unattached)? Might also wait for June averages to get that extra 0.5 limit? We're in a bit of an awkward spot for changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody Scott would prob be the best of 2 pointers if took a chance on one to have a stronger 1-5. 14 day extension of facility takes us to towards end of month so yeah might persevere until then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see he’s on a 4.00 average in the Prem. Don’t know what the current conversion is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It no longer sits on top of the h frame at the top of the forks. it has to face downwards. How the hell did we get to May, at least 2 wrong results, one at Sheffield and one at Glasgow, and not know they are fitted wrong. There is even a pouch behind the fork covers, which is further forward than the h frame, but the memo does not say you cannot use the pouch. With the knowledge of the inconsistent fitting and the resulting false readings , surely the video evidence which is absolute, should be used and the results amended of the two matches affected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 As frustrating as it was to have the wrong result, amending results later is a can of worms best avoided. If you think speedway looks amateur now, introduce that and it'll be an order of magnitude worse. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to make sure the new top 5 rider will score lots more than Starke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB723 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Do you take the gamble and try and persuade a new rider from the continent over, hoping they would out perform their assessed average? Or even see if Marcin can commit for the full season. There must be at least one good rider over there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is lots of very good riders over there, problem is the SCB have made it virtually impossible to bring any over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you class the drone footage from Ashfield as absolute then I wish I had your xray vision, it certainly shows how close all 3 behind Worrall were going over the line but it in no way is it ‘absolute’ in showing who got it either way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they change the rule because of the tarasenko situation that new poles are on a 7 or something? But we could sign a dane who hasn't ridden here but has in the extraliga on a 5 still. Can't remember exact wording of it but how was explained to me was Marcin who ride 3rd division last season would be a 7 but mads Hansen would be a 5. Sure some of the rulebook experts know the exact change but essentially meant that particular route would be closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
