Grachan 7,362 Posted July 29, 2017 28th has passed and no announcement of a replacement for Zach so either we're going with guests or Rosco will be backdating paperwork on Monday! Maybe because Zach is on 3.12, but next month will be on 3.49, so we can get a guest at a higher average than a signing? Dany Gappmaier is on 4.79 in Div 2. Does that make him eligible to guest?

Does that make him eligible to guest? No. 3.49 x 1.2 is 4.19 or 4.4 if an extra 5% is allowed for a (home?) guest. Jan Graverson is currently 4.13. So maybe a choice of him, Clegg, Perry, Ayres or Sarjeant match by match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe a choice of him, Clegg, Perry, Ayres or Sarjeant match by match? It is a pity that Ayres seems to be under performing this year as he would have been a good guest at Swindon.

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 30, 2017 Would've gone with Gravesen as he is the pick of the bunch but quess there would be fixture clashes so guests on a meeting by meeting basis seems the decision made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe a choice of him, Clegg, Perry, Ayres or Sarjeant match by match? If the rider replacing does not have an EL average, don't you divide the guest's average by 1.4?

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted July 30, 2017 If the rider replacing does not have an EL average, don't you divide the guest's average by 1.4?revised conversion this year is 1.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DunRobin 465 Posted July 30, 2017 revised conversion this year is 1.2 Is that division of the guest's average? If it is then Graversen fit's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted July 30, 2017 Is that division of the guest's average? If it is then Graversen fit's. Gravesen seems to fit but it was Gappmaier that the original query was about. For him its no against his 4.79 although his average in the 2nd tier is falling on each revision at the moment...

Zeistsport 1 Posted July 31, 2017 On holiday oop nawth at the moment and saw Graversen at Sheffield on Thurs and Berwick on Sat and he looked quite good on both occasions. Gappmaier however, was just abysmal. He failed to score at home, only got 3 rides and was in fact beaten by Graversen in his last outing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

65Sarge 148 Posted August 2, 2017 I hate to say this, but I fear the loss of Zach may be Swindon's downfall this year, need to find the right guests especially for the play offs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
