Heathen1984 139 Posted January 25, 2017 Pretty certain you wont get Jacobs on that average, all the league would of been after if he was!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted January 25, 2017 Even if he averaged 3 at EL level last year, x that by 1.4 to get PL figure, then doubled for NL. His average would be just below 9 at best (although that would be a steal still) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 25, 2017 Think Jacobs would be 10.72? Either way far too high. With just over 11 points to play with and hints that Buxton will be without another true heatleader it points towards a 5 & 6 point rider and Shelby starting at reserve?

Clibb92 0 Posted January 26, 2017 Won't it be great when Kean Dicken beats Lee Dicken!😂 In my eyes Kean will be the one maybe "improving his average by 2 points" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathen1984 139 Posted January 27, 2017 Kean no way will improve is average 2 points!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfield aces 5 Posted January 27, 2017 The 39 points limit was voted in to make the NL more competitive and judging so far by the make up of most teams this will happen, I don't want to see any team under strength. and so to Buxton, who's likely to complete their seven? 11:29 for the remaining two riders seems good and assuming another 3 pointer is recruited leaves 8:29, but who? (Ellis Perks 8.25) who doesn't want to ride in all three leagues and Luke Chessell (8.:09) says he'll sit out 2017 and I assume most of the others that fit (Lee Payne 8:11), Jack Smith (6.:32) & (Rob Shuttleworth 6:60) will end up at Belle Vue. Is Mr Williamson likely to be challenged at NO.1 I think not. Sorry to be full of doom & gloom, let's hope a rabbit is pulled from the hat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,201 Posted February 1, 2017 Carl Basford younger brother of Ben signs on at number 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loyal hammer 5 Posted February 1, 2017 Good luck to the young lad. Who will be Buxtons final signing? 8.33 points left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted February 2, 2017 Good luck to the young lad. Who will be Buxtons final signing? 8.33 points left. Logic would say an 8 point average, but knowing Pipe probably a 3 point rider, the other Basford maybe? Ben Bastard What about Lee Payne? He seems to be a decent rider who's based towards the north of the country (Belle Vue, Stoke and Redcar being his past teams) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayne 312 Posted February 2, 2017 Logic would say an 8 point average, but knowing Pipe probably a 3 point rider, the other Basford maybe? Ben Bastard What about Lee Payne? He seems to be a decent rider who's based towards the north of the country (Belle Vue, Stoke and Redcar being his past teams) Unfortunately there are no available riders on or around the 8 point mark - feel free to correct me though. As for Lee Payne think you will see him back at Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He seems to be a decent rider who's based towards the north of the country (Belle Vue, Stoke and Redcar being his past teams) Hi Dandelion We have 8.29 to play with, but like Jayne says, there is just no riders available. I've spent many hours chatting to riders on Facebook, on the Phone and by going to see them in Person. There's no Heat Leaders and no 2nd Strings available. I've even tried riders who haven't raced for a few years! Unfortunately all we have left to choose from is 3.00 point or 3.00 + riders, which is not ideal when your needing to bring in a Heat Leader! Unless a rider becomes available, unexpectedly, then I'll have to try and make sure I get this other 3.00 pointer right. The Current plan is for me to attend Scunthorpe, Northside, Redcar and Peterborough regular, up until near the start of the season and speak to one or two people and look to see who's about and draw up a shortlist. Maybe I can unearth a newbie to the Sport? Over the coming weeks and liaising with Jayne, I'd like to draw up a short list of around 4 or 5 3.00 pointers and invite them along to Buxton's Press & Practice on Sunday 9th April to see how they can handle our track? We need these riders to see our track first before we do a deal with anyone. Last season we put in Ryan Burton, who had never seen the track before and he struggled so much with the track and we need to learn from that. This may be a bit 'Old School', but I believe this is the best way to go about this. Up to now, this is how the Buxton team will line up... 1 Matt Williamson 9.49 2 Lee Geary 3.00 or Shelby Rutherford 3 Tom Woolley 4.90 4 Shelby Rutherford 4.45 or AN OTHER 5 Lee Dicken 5.87 6 Lee Geary or AN OTHER (3.00) 7 Carl Basford 3.00 If a Heat Leader or a 2nd String suddenly becomes available, then Shelby will to at Number 2 and Lee Geary at 6.
