Islander15 1,061 Posted July 22, 2018 R/R means 2 rides for the reserves, and one for Walker & Flint. So 5 points at best! Greenwood can score at least 6 points surely, he’s done much better than that in the past too even if he tailed off last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruckerroo 790 Posted July 23, 2018 it shows the leagues down to the bare bones when a rider who had completely gone at the game is replacing one of the better riders in the division 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GiveusaB Posted July 23, 2018 A couple of seasons ago Dan was a very promising rider averaging around 9 points in the NL, I think he had a nasty shoulder injury and that knocked his confidence and set him back? We all know that speedway is a confidence sport, so we'll just have to wait and see how Dan handles that part of his make-up? He has a lot ability, or did have..... I think the B'ham fans are happy if Dan can be a good 2nd string as we have 3 decent heat leaders already? We have to be practical ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(from a financial point of view?) I think the cost of running a speedway team is probably just hitting our new owners, as we have had 5/6 away meetings on the bounce, where riders have to be paid without any 'home' meeting income? Just a thought? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read somewhere that it has to be equal or lower than his season's starting average? Which is 7. something? not sure how true that is though ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can sign a rider up to the average of the rider you replace unless your combined average is below the points limit which obviously doesn't apply to Brum.
