Marksman Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago 1 hour ago, SteelShoe said: Would appear that there is no requirement for a 2pt reserve for 2025. Always need at least 1 good resrve and preferably 2 . I've always thought a top 1 and 5 coupled with 1 strong reserve are pre-requisites to being very competetive. Yeah there hasn't been such a rule that a team requires a 2pt reserve, just last season it worked out that alot of them moved into the Championship. Plymouth for example started with 2 reserves above a 3pt average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Etheridge will do just fine at Northside next season, like others have said he's a 5pt average at worst. Riding at No.2 or No.4 he'll be a good asset to the team particularly at home. He found it tough riding in the heatleader posistion last season espcially when Berwick were decimated with the injuries they had. Fraser Bowes to be announced tomorrow 😎 Edited 3 hours ago by Marksman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see him putting over a point on home average and also increasing his away average following confidence building home meetings. Very shrewd signing IMO. gonede a bit stale at Berwick. New start proper race track might be the thing needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I noticed the Workington post announced the signing of Etheridge as having a "false average" I'd disagree with that, he has that average for a reason. But he certainly has the potential to improve that figure, even if it's only by a little, still a good signing, as I expect the improvement to come elsewhere in the team Zischke/ Vuolas / Foord.

It's the art of Persuasive Speech, 'Bargain average' is the most overused saying in Speedway at this time of year. Subconsciously done to seed the thought of optimism in minds of supporters.

Fraser Bowes to be announced tomorrow 😎 Bowes is an unknown quantity for myself personally but it is never easy coming into the British League. Looks like we are putting a lot of faith in Tate and Antti kicking on a bit next season 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
