Oxford vs King’s Lynn - Thurs April 25th
arnieg replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well I can tell you that according to the KL website and facebook it's 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Perhaps there is some uncertainty over NKI and Basso? -
Kings Lynn vs Sheffield - Monday 22nd April
arnieg replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Jeez how pathetic. I can well recall standing in Sheffield car park on 18 August 2022 at 7.30pm on race night in blazing sunshine (shorts weather) with no rain having fallen in the past two days but no speedway because the match had been called off on Tuesday because apparently Sheffield couldn't get the track ready. I have little time for Chapman but it irks me that a promoti9n that is equally guilty is whinging like a 12 year old. -
Oxford vs King’s Lynn - Thurs April 25th

It is an actual average based on actual points scored in real matches calculated according to the regulations. Yes sometimes the rules produce anomalies but if you want to iron them out you will often end up creating new ones, and inevitably make the rules more complicated. -
Belle Vue v Ipswich 22nd April

You can't. Rob P will confirm my interpretation. -
Belle Vue v Ipswich 22nd April
arnieg replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The two situations were different. No facility at Ipswich means a 75% guest (as Ipswich has tonight), but No facility on Sunday in the NDL meant a 3.00 unattached rider (Spooner not having ridden this season for the Chargers) -
Belle Vue v Ipswich 22nd April
arnieg replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Both were treated the same. They were both allowed a 75% no facility guest Just Oxford couldn't find one. -
Belle Vue v Ipswich 22nd April

As yet no offence has been committed. I assume that once the meeting is finished and the ACU referee submits his report the SCB will put out a statement saying they are investigating, and another one about the outcome. There seems an awful lot of sound and fury over very little at the moment. Doyle missed his plane. He will plead his case emphasising the mitigating circumstances and the SCB will adjudicate. Until then there's not much to be said. At least (unlike Oxford) the Witches have been able to find a 75% guest - ironically from Oxford! -
European U 23 team Championships qualifying round Pardubice Saturday 20th April

Already silver medalist in Czech senior Championship and he is younger than Ashton Boughen (by 9 days) -

Workington v Redcar 20/04/24 3pm BSN

Grachan is correct. You can have a converted average, and if the conversion rules contain no cap (as was the case in this example) then ... yes you can have an average over 12 - silly though it may seem. -
Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions
arnieg replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Also history. the previous scheme (Fast track circa 2014) drew a lot of flack from all the teams that didn't have Lewis Blackbird at reserve all year. http://www.gbspeedway.com/2014/teamstats.php?mc1=x&mc2=ta&mc3=av&mc4=Eastbourne Eagles&team=Eastbourne Eagles&league=A&comp=CMA&avtype=av -
Ipswich vs Oxford 18th April

But being a great rider does not make a great team manager either. -
Ipswich vs Oxford 18th April
arnieg replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Exactly. If you follow this line if thought to it's logical conclusion why not dispense with all that messy racing and random variations and just add up the two teams GSAs and award the match to the team with the highest combined average. [Think of the savings: No stadium to rent, staff to employ, machinery to purchase, riders to pay] -

arnieg replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Strawman argument. Harris's GSA is under 7 so no one should regularly expect him to score double figures. He's outscored his average in 4 out of 5 matches so far this season and that's an admirable record, not a reason to laugh at him. -
Interesting aside: how do you feel about Tony Clarke? His crimes were against speedway, yet he was back in the Wolverhampton team within days of his release.
