Matt S average is 2.361 in Poland which translates to 9.44. Woryna who rode Extraliga was 1.973 which translates to 7.89. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which just goes to show the nonsense of allowing some riders to keep outdated averages and others lumbered with an average that can't get them a team place in the UK. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing I find nuts is that Buster sent Matt S on Loan knowing his average. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's madness. Our new guy Kasper Andersen is on a 5! I need to find out the answer to this one ..... it's just so wrong!

I need to find out the answer to this one ..... it's just so wrong! I imagine there was some deal with loans around NKI and Matt S! Even as a Poole fan it’s a bit of a joke.

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted February 5, 2018 Swindon gained from a 6 rider team to eventual winners due to Tobi not getting a new average like everyone else did at the start of the season & him doing even better than all fans thought by making a mockery of that decision. If Poole don’t win the league with this team then the promoter & team manager should hang their heads in shame & resign. Even Ronnie Russell & Jim Lynch would stroll the league with the Poole line up. My money will be on Leicester as the difference of Vaculik on a 8 not his original 9 allowed them to bring Hans in which is a great move. No value in betting on Poole.

Yes the promotors are weak & deserve all the stick & money worries they have letting it happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When our friends from Poland sees what averages they are on here , it must show them, when it come to running a competitive Speedway League, we haven't got a clue... And people wonder why the fans don't come anymore.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,778 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) I assumed Kasper's average was a misprint but apparently not. Doesn't make an awful lot of difference as I think the other six riders would have been signed regardless but it would be interesting to know why he is a five and not four. Perhaps he has achieved more in Europe than I had assumed. Edited February 6, 2018 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i yhink there is very littke between the other 5. KL have a top two as good as any, and arguably the strongest reserves. The only area they are lacking is 3rd HL, but Jorgensen could do ok, and arguably if your top two and reserves do the job you csn ger awsy with being weak in this area. Although i think swinfon will finish 4th, i do think KL are more likely to scrspe into the play offs than finish bottom, wheras many seem to hsve them lined up as wooden spooners. I tend to agree, I think KL are being under rated. Lambert & NKI are a match for anyone, and the others all have potential to up their averages. 1. Poole 2. Belle Vue 3. Swindon 4. Leicester 5. Kings Lynn 6. Somerset 7. Wolverhampton 8. Rye House Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
