    Ipswich 2023

    Rew has steadily come on over the season. He’ll be in big demand should a guest be needed at reserve, due to his low average.
  2. That was a Belle Vue advert for Belle Vue style Speedway. Unique - unfortunately.
  3. Wow! What a night. I love this sport at the NSS. Great meeting to finish on, roll on next year.
  4. Rew will make a terrific guest at the beginning of next season on his low average.
  5. To be honest, I think that’s the feeling of most of the current fans that we have left now and the promoters also. The sport has less credibility than WWF or monster trucks and has become a bank holiday treat rather than a regularly attended event resulting in crowds no longer at a sustainable level. It’s a great shame for many clubs and fans, but it is what it is and it’s not going to change, I’ll continue to enjoy the racing at the National Speedway Stadium at whatever level it is, but I do feel for those who no longer have a team in this once great sport to follow.
  6. His previous MA was 7.61. That is now not applicable and he is using the 7.81 that the powers that be clearly state is an assessed average. He had an established average, he no longer does as he is operating under his 7.81 assessed average as given to him by the powers that be. No assessed rider has guested before and I’ve already provided details of when a rider was stopped from guesting “because of the assessed average”.
  7. In July 2015 Bradley Wilson Dean had an established NL match average but was given an assessed average for racing in the PL. He was blocked from guesting for Rye House as his assessed average took precedence over his established average. In September 2023 Robert Lambert had an established PL match average but was given an assessed average for racing in the PL. He was allowed to guest for Sheffield as his established average took precedence over his assessed average. http://www.ryehouse-speedway.com/news.php?extend.1046 http://www.speedwaygbarchive.co.uk/files/downloads/nl15_issue_9a.pdf
  8. For what it’s worth……. From 2023 rule book “010.2.1 A Premiership Assessed League rider will establish an MA after completing 3 home and 3 away qualifying fixtures”. If Robert was deemed to have and established average he would have had a new average calculated on a rolling basis. Due to him being assessed he had to wait for 3 home & 3 away. “010.2.3 AmendedMA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: - a) riders who have been absent from British Speedway racing for more than 3 seasons (The MA may be increased or decreased)” Robert’s average was reassessed from that declared last year. 7.61 up to 7.81. “012.4.2 Guest Rider (G) c) the guest must be in a current team declaration and have an established MA”. Robert doesn’t have an established MA as his 2022 figure has been reassessed and he has already been treated as an assessed rider with him having to wait for 3 home & 3 away to get an established average. 2023 Premiership League TEAM DECLARATIONS and GREEN SHEETS Issue 32 states that Robert’s previously established average is no longer applicable due to being older than the previous 2 seasons and it is therefore assessed and cannot change until he has completed 3 home & 3 away meetings.

    2023 Playoffs

    The rule first appeared in the 2020 rule book but of course that season didn’t go ahead. Excerpt from the 2022 rule book. 012.2 A Premiership Transfer Window opens after 25% of the League fixtures are complete and closes when 75% of League fixtures are complete. This permits changes to the team on 2 occasions, except for proven long term injury. Peterborough played by the rule prior to 25% citing proven long term injury. Belle Vue played by the rule after 75% citing proven long term injury. Sheffield used the rule making more than 3 changes citing proven long term injury.

    2023 Playoffs

    To be fair to Mark the article was published on Sunday but Hayley spoke to him the day before and before the GP where Jason was injured. It was also before Tobiasz was injured on Sunday. I also think he was referring to the fact it’s been five times out of the last six that we’ve been hit by play off injury woes.
  11. Yet not one fan either in the stadium or watching from home described their 8 point loss last time as amazing on this very forum. I few weren’t happy with Jason’s 5 whilst Aces fans were made up with Norick & Charles’ 16. Consistency of opinion is not this forums strong point.
  12. Sorry, I was using facts. I’ll remove it.

    Sheffield Tigers 2023

    The fallout from Tai’s ringer year has been catastrophic for our flagship event and the cobbled together teams put out. Architects of their own demise, very sad.
