It was last year that it was said that they wanted a bigger gulf in standard between the Prem & Champ.

An arguement is that riders race 4 times over 14 heats which is 42 points & that is NEVER going to happen.

They have ruined the sport in the last 10 years trying to protect the Premiership.IMO.Self interest and Tv money is all that matter too them.

Sam has to show that he wants it bit like Luke Harrison, Vinnie Foord, Sam Hagon, Ben Trigger to name 4. He has had one of the best tracks in British Speedway to race on these last two years and I'll leave it up to you to tell me if you think he has shown any improvement. We all wanted him to do well.

i know what you are saying .  .  still , it cold be worse . we may have claus back next year . will look forward to that one meeting where he scores a max  . against us   !

 I can confirm that was said but with his average increasing significantly and a potential lowering of team averages it is yet to be confirmed he can be fitted in

I said at the start of the season this situation would happen, there have should have been some kind of average retention policy brought in for retaining the new batch of 2.00 riders.

It would only apply to new 2.00 riders retained at the same club for the following season. A 15% cut would reward clubs for developing said rider and reward the rider with another team spot for making progess in the sport, not penalising for doing well!

Luke's 4.43 would become 3.77, which can become alot more inviting for team building purposes.

Whether things like this are even discussed are another matter.
