I assume you are saying that unless the so called social media are used to their utmost, then the sport will not survive. I cannot possibly agree with that sentiment. What actually MATTERS is the level of entertainment supplied THAT is what brings people through the turnstiles...and that information gets the best possible use when it is spread by actual word of mouth, verbally one person to another. I do not think any new person has ever attended because of something read on social media. Almost everyone I know, and certainly myself ( in 1946) first came to Speedway because a friend recommended it. That situation has never changed over the years.

As a 21-year-old we consume sport through social media. For example, the NBA has grown so much because you can see highlights on all social media. If you want to grow the sport you need a new generation of fans and social media is a great way of doing that. Social media might get them through the gate for one meeting and then who knows what could happen. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was told for not riding champ last year. His average was therefore increased to 8. Which I don’t really understand because it doesn’t fit 1.6. But that’s what he was told.

I doubt that very much as he was given a 3.5 assessed average in the NL last season. Having read the press release now, you are right, apologies. Seems crazy to have a higher assessed average then last year when now riding at a higher level. Edited November 30, 2019 by teaboy279 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said because he didn’t sign for a club and then was in prem they are putting him up to 8. I don’t think he really understands it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnTwo 317 Posted December 1, 2019 It’ll be the same as Adam Ellis was signing for brum. Last gsa x 1.5 as they say that’s an up to date average. (5.47x1.5 8.20) hes a good rider but I don’t think he’s an 8 pointer maybe a 6.5/7 but 8.2 is a lot of points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeilWatson 1,988 Posted December 1, 2019 There seems to be a good deal of confusion in this post..... Last year (2018 season) the conversion factor was 1.5 This year (2019 season) the conversion factor was also 1.5 Next season (2020) the conversion factor will be 1.6 Art 16.2.5 of the Speedway Regulations states: The most recently established MA will be used. If a rider has an established MA in both the Premiership and Championship Leagues, established in the same season, that leagues MA will apply to that league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
