spin king junior 394 Posted November 3, 2016 Hume on a 3 mate, any rider that didn't achieve a 3 aka Josh Bailey 2.05 comes in on that but nothing under 2, all new NL still come in on a 3 Surely that can't be right? It'd be strange to introduce a rule that'd benefit so few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89buttons 766 Posted November 3, 2016 lets get the team building guessing going then!! Agree king and hume need to be signed as soon as possible, would definitely consider mountain as well if both are on 2 starting average? I'm unsure who is and isn't eligible! leaves more to play with for main team. king 9.57 sarjeant 5.80 covatti 7.49 Schlein 7.17 hume 2.00 mountain 2.00 t. kurtz 5.76 palovaara 5.80 rose 5.86 jake allen 5.96 manzares 5.43 a few potential options for last rider with 5.97 left, jake allen perhaps the stand out will somerset take him into top league on that average? alternatively king 9.57 porsing 6.58 busk jacobsen 6.98 covatti 7.49 hume 2.00 mountain 2.00 leaves 5.38 potentials keeps 5.07 wilson dean 5.02 mellgren 5.33 jacobs 5.36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,737 Posted November 3, 2016 They are on a 3 if they are coming in to the league from NL without an average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TB1 130 Posted November 3, 2016 Seems a reasonable agm to me in terms of structure. At least we get more meetings and the two leagues are closer together. Did I miss the bit about doubling up, is it still allowed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted November 3, 2016 They are on a 3 if they are coming in to the league from NL without an average.that is a glaring error if it is actually the case.Any rider that hasnt achieved a 3 should now be a 2 regardless of whether they have had a go or not. It cant be right for a brand new rider to be a 3 and the likes of Zach W and Ellis Perks to be 2. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted November 3, 2016 welcome to the weird and wonderful rules of speedway..... A bit like riders not coming in under a 5.00 this year but Holub did for Scunthorpe..... anyone see a connetion? that is a glaring error if it is actually the case.Any rider that hasnt achieved a 3 should now be a 2 regardless of whether they have had a go or not.It cant be right for a brand new rider to be a 3 and the likes of Zach W and Ellis Perks to be 2. but would mean Hume a 2? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted November 3, 2016 but would mean Hume a 2?doesnt seem that way.No average so a 3. Although it could be argued he was in PL 1-7 and didnt achieve a 3 (not enough meetings but not achieved) so should be a 2. Mountain, Coles and the like a 3 though.

89buttons 766 Posted November 3, 2016 Needs clarifying, my interpretation is that they're trying to get more young brits from the NL the opportunity of a team place in PL by lowering the average they'd come in on thus being more appealing to promotions, makes no sense whatsoever that the likes of Hume, mountain etc. Would have to come in on a 3 when some riders who maintained higher averages in NL last year can drop down as low as 2 having ridden in the PL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted November 3, 2016 There is an official sgb tweet stating newcomers will still be a 3 and only those who have ridden in the 2nd tier previously and not achieved a 3 can come in on less (min 2) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spanner47 336 Posted November 4, 2016 Last season CL did a good job making sure we had Danny for all meetings, dont think he'll be able to do the same next season. Far to many fixtures in Div 1 to avoid clashes, hopefully he'll just make sure he's available for all home meetings and just get the right guest for away meetings when the need arises. For ease of posting shall we just call the divisions 1 and 2? I suppose they aren't dancing in the streets of Hoddesden, WHY?? do they get renamed? Why House sounds ok.
