Dandelion 775 Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) if it is thats a steal.. It surely can't be right, I'm just looking to be corrected Was it too long ago to use Boxhall's last average in the NL? Just purely on location they could go with: 1 Steve Boxall 10.30 2 Richard Andrews 4.36 3 Lee Smart 5.71 4 Mattie Bates 4.82 5 James Shanes 8.53 6 Tyler Govier 3.31 7 Henry Atkins 3.00 Or even nick phillips instead of Henry Where's this dude got 10.30 from? I noticed at the beginning of 2016, they seemed to just double Luke Bowen's average, is this right? In that case it would be 10.30, not so attractive now... And that's where the other person got the figure from, it makes sense now Edited November 22, 2016 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted November 22, 2016 I "think" its PL average x 2. Although there is some rule about not being able to sign for a National & Championship team at the start of the season if the Championship average is over 4 i believe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although there is some rule about not being able to sign for a National & Championship team at the start of the season if the Championship average is over 4 i believe? Oh I see, but will the likes of Ashley Morris, Max Clegg and Adam Ellis still be allowed to ride if they already have a NL average? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Oh I see, but will the likes of Ashley Morris, Max Clegg and Adam Ellis still be allowed to ride if they already have a NL average?They can't ride NL if they start the season with a Championship place. S4K is right, the conversion is PLx2 but you use whichever is higher of that figure or the latest NL figure, and I can't remember Boxall's without checking.

SCB 0 Posted November 22, 2016 What is the conversion rate for PL to NL? If it's PL average * 1.4 my calculation has Steve Boxall at 7.21, but that surely can't be right If Richard Hall had a NL average from 2005 or whatever it was then Boxall has one form a couple of years ago at Kent. Must be about 10.5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Main Man 222 Posted November 22, 2016 If Richard Hall had a NL average from 2005 or whatever it was then Boxall has one form a couple of years ago at Kent. Must be about 10.5? 9.56 for Kent 2013 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trophykid 32 Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Did crowds increase when they went PL?That's hard to estimate. The first PL fixture in 2011 against Sheffield had to have been Plymouth's record attendance (in my opinion). Attendances were maybe slightly higher initially. Mike Bowden wanted to take Plymouth back down to NL in the autumn of 2012 maybe because crowds weren't big enough even then? What's certain in my mind was how crowds had dropped off over 2015/16, though there was a spike during the play off run.

*JJ 511 Posted November 24, 2016 Birmingham's crowds certainly increased when they went into the NL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
