foamfence 2,917 Posted November 29, 2016 With Klindt now confirmed I think Poole are in a strong position. Matt also states that in May the team averages will revert to a 42, the first confirmation of that from anyone They certainly intend to re-adjust them then but when I read it the figure wasn't mentioned.

Daniel Smith 5,663 Posted November 29, 2016 They certainly intend to re-adjust them then but when I read it the figure wasn't mentioned. http://www.poolepirates.co/news/2016-11-29-triple-switch-for-nicolai.html " I've seen it written by promoters talking about riders being able to increase averages in 2017, but in fact I believe fewer than 5 riders will achieve this due to us starting on a 50 point average, but reverting to a 42 average in May. Of course by this time riders would have achieved truer reflection, and almost all riders will see a decrease. However in Nicolai's case, I feel he will break the trend and actually increase his starting average. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's to be 42 then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted November 29, 2016 looks a strong team on paper with brady and kyle to come even stronger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted November 29, 2016 So the idea for teams like Swindon is to get your changes in before May then. Isn't that when the first set of averages come in usually. Won't give a lot of time for changes to be made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyabb17 1,077 Posted November 29, 2016 Klindt struggled to achieve 5.4 in last years premier league. If he doesn't make the gate then that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted November 29, 2016 On the subject of people having double accounts just go and have a look at posts 722 and 724 on the Ipswich thread!! Our very own Starman has 2 accounts! Except this time he forgot to log out and change his name! Go have a look he has a pop at me and then replies to his own comment!!! Priceless. Now we have to work out which other poster he is. As for Klindt could be a good signing but his average is low for a reason, misses the gate and is awful. Can see him getting 2 in one meeting and 8 the next so inconsistent 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted November 29, 2016 So what will happen to the averages of riders who rode EL last year and didn't get a team this year? Eg if Holder doesn't get a side will he revert to his old average that will probably be lower than KK or Hans? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, 2016 riders not starting 2017 will just use existing real averages, there's no other option. I see a large number of team changes in May/June Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) So what will happen to the averages of riders who rode EL last year and didn't get a team this year? Eg if Holder doesn't get a side will he revert to his old average that will probably be lower than KK or Hans? They would come in on the inflated average listed on the BSPA site. That is now their average regardless of when they sign http://www.speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/2017_team_building_numerical.pdf Edited November 29, 2016 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted November 29, 2016 So what will happen to the averages of riders who rode EL last year and didn't get a team this year? Eg if Holder doesn't get a side will he revert to his old average that will probably be lower than KK or Hans? They have surely thought of that? To make things fair the riders missing out should keep their team building averages. Promoters will know before May whether they want to make a change.

poolebolton 464 Posted November 29, 2016 Well Kyle liked my post that said hope this means you are signing for Poole last night which means as we all know he will come in on 6.31 which will leave us with 8.03. Will it be Brady or will he be at Somerset. Not sure who we could sign. I think it will still be Brady because he put TBC as a pirate on Twitter as well which suggests he will ride for us.
