The scenario some time this year…….. Fan chatting to a mate who has no idea about speedway. Mate: So you lost last night then. Fan: Yeah 50-49. Mate: Bad result then. Fan: Ish. Mate: What do you mean ish. Fan: Well we only dropped 26 points out of our available 75. Mate: Right. (pause) the other team must have dropped more, ‘cause they won! Fan: No they dropped 34 out of 84. Mate: Why did they have the opportunity to score 84 when you could only score 75. Fan: Well, we were too good. Mate: But you lost! Fan: Yeah. Mate: Couldn’t you have ridden better? Fan: Well, it would actually have helped our cause is we had ridden worst. Mate: What! Fan: Yeah, us being good gave them the opportunity to score more points. Mate: Right? (pause) So percentage wise you dropped less points than them and lost, but if you had ridden worst it would have helped you win. Fan: Yeah. (pause) Fancy coming next week? Mate: No...... No thanks.
