semion 2,192 Posted September 13, 2019 Orlav. In hindsight you may well be right. However we have deal in what did happen not what maybe should have happened. Bookies don’t let you bet on a horse after the race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As should any foreigner wanting to ride over here. If they are good enough to ride in another country the minimum should never be less than 4. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Just been looking at some stats. The Stars need some changes next season if they want to do better. They finished just under Swindon, but finished 6th in the league. Official team GSA's to date Swindon 45.26 Lynn 45.16 Ippo 42.82 Poole 42.65 Wolves 41.66 BV 41.33 Peterborough 39.45 We need a big re shuffle next season. The only team not to win on the road this season, I think ? These are this seasons riders away averages ( just this season, not GSA's, rolling aves and not for team building). But it will confirm we can't have as many home "track specialists" next season. This season our finishing 1-7 of Lambo, Cookie, Erik, TJ. MPT ,Lewis and Nik's combined away averages add up to just 33.76. Edited September 24, 2019 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted September 25, 2019 Unlike so many I here, I don't put riders CMA as the be all of team building. Yes, I appreciate its the mechanics used for team equality, but application , attitude and passion have a far greater importance to the value of riders impact for the team. Your averages above illustrate precisely that , although we finished way down the league , our riders CMA is second only to Swindon. Its obvious, for whatever reason, we don't perform as a successful team. Changes need to be made.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its obvious, for whatever reason, we don't perform as a successful team. Changes need to be made.. As I see it the reason is simple, our riders haven't been good enough away from the AFA. While it's great to have "Application, attitude and passion", does it have "far greater importance to the value of a riders impact for the team"? It will only get you so far imho. You could put a Championship side into the Prem, and they won't win anything with all the application, attitude and passion in the world.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair I think their is good argument for a minimum of 5 to be applied for all new foreign riders. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
