Brown envelope this week as stated by a poster above.

Max Perry's average is not too high it is just that Leicester went with a squad of 7 riders with averages to their liking & could not fit him in. In my opinion, J Thompson should not be there.

WHAT!!!!!!!! Riding with Harris in 3 races & against oppositions 3 heat leaders.

Riders with 3+ years experience of NDL 100% CMA Riders with 2 years experience of NDL 90% CMA Riders with 1 years experience of NDL 80% CMA

I was led to believe that the rolling averages in 2023 were being increased from 10 league meetings(from 2022) to 20 for '23. this was to include the 10 meeting CMA from '22 plus any in 2023. This could be 15 meetings or the maximum of 20. Elsewhere, if a rider has not got a recognized CMA then meetings taken in to account are from '21, '22 & '23 only. Older averages than 2020 are used for team building until 3H3A in Prem or 8 Lge meetings in Champ have been raced.

A British rider gets a 2.5% discount off his Final Average for the following seasons New Declarations NOT A British rider's average is 97.5% of his Final Average the following season.

Riders that are only 0.7 & 0.4 behind your heat leaders. One raced on a very small track trying to get accustomed to with a poor performing team decimated by injuries with the use of many guests(partners) & another who had a very bad ankle injury.

I think our 3 heat leaders are capable of scoring 8-10 points per meeting whether it be from 4, 5 or even 6 rides. Our engine room, 2nd strings, are stronger than most others & our reserves will hold their own in a weaker(38 point limit) starting point. It will be about who gains the most momentum to get their team to a 41/42 point average in the BSN Series(NOT CMA average but points scored in 2024).

Yes.

Has it changed again? Only a few years back it changed Prem to 3H 3A & Champ to 8 league meetings(any combination) Sorry, noticed asset rather than average but think asset is any 12 meetings.

We have S Lambert as our 4th highest rider & on this last years form, is on par or better than some named above.

With the fixtures being out today, it seems that we have gone down a similar route to this last year which seemed to suit us. Almost every month, on Friday's, we have 2 at home, 1 away & 1 spare "fill in" day. They was some teams that didn't seem to arrange their own fixtures regularly, maybe due to having a junior team, but hope for their own fans sake that it is better prepared for 2024.

????????? Is Cook, Sedgmen, Pickering, Howarth, MPT, Riss, Batch, Etheridge, J Wright, Thomson, Castagna, Vissing, Clegg, Rowe, Mountain, Kennedy are just a few named from this year. A few more Aussies, Europeans not just from the main countries but France, Czech.

A bit of a hill to get over. A few riders rode on Fridays this last year then riding for Polish clubs. I think the practice is more important this next year.

I would think so.

This story has just popped up on msn(new or old news?) https://www.business-live.co.uk/commercial-property/major-regeneration-plans-old-birmingham-28298333

According to lewy, a few pages back, who is "in the know" says he is definitely elsewhere.

Welcome back Jake & definitely a team man often sitting behind his team mate, whether at no4 or no5. He got caught out a few times on last laps but it was still nice to see him help a team mate across the line. I read a bit about set up issues not just for us but also his team in the Premiership. it seems strange when reading of riders at all levels chasing set ups over a full meetings, noting the changes down & reason why & if it works. D Howe, like S Stead does at Sheffield, could help out enormously. Even GP riders change bikes in a meeting & there is a thread on why Zmarzlik gets it right at the end of meetings.

Not until 2018 when they tried to pull a fast one & ride some on Friday's Oops! I'll get me coat.

Still 3 1/2 to 4 months to go yet. Don't worry, be happy. ........ do d d do di do, do di do.

Rumoured to be Glasgow bound after a few years at Poole when he lives less than 30 miles away!

Are you sure you were talking to the right person?

Not got my Speedway Star yet but checked on the Scorpions website. no more "red herring" likes from philwhitewasmad on other threads.

Yes.
