E I Addio 15,849 Posted May 14, 2016 While a bit of a farce I am finding the team changes and racing orders slightly fascinating, it is producing some pretty interesting meetings. What's interesting about it ? Apart from the fact that it reduces the league to a lottery rather than a serious competition, I can't see how a class act like Freddie Lindgren , for example, enhances a meeting by going off as a second string. There might be some sort of academic fascination to it but for the life of me I don't see how it's going to increase the numbers through the turnstiles, which is really what needs to happen. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islander15 1,065 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Whilst Newman is injured and in a heat leader position on a 7.24 average, can Poole have a guest up to his average or does it have to be another EDR? Edited May 15, 2016 by Islander15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Post ... I am in total agreement with you . Is it any wonder no credible businessmen from outside Speedway like Mr Hearn as suggested by many , on many occasions, would be willing to come in & overhaul our sport which on the whole left alone without the yearly ridiculous tinkering is actually brilliant to watch !!

heathen chemistry 660 Posted May 15, 2016 yes the averages are an absolute calamity , whats going to happen next season if ellis,klindt,newman,auty,worrall,kurtz,and all the other riders that swap 1-5 to reserve, end the season with ridiculously high averages? and are teams going to time it so that a 1-5 is at reserve for the play-offs giving them an advantage? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over the course of a season it should even itself out, but you'll still end up with some riders with a 7-point average having ridden as a heatleader all year and some with a 7-point average having ridden as a reserve/secondstring.

Skidder1 7,654 Posted May 15, 2016 Whilst Newman is injured and in a heat leader position on a 7.24 average, can Poole have a guest up to his average or does it have to be another EDR?

Crazy robin 2,966 Posted May 15, 2016 So after 7 seasons since his Elite League debut Kyle Newman is finally going to be in top 5. About time & hope it works out for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
