Skidder1 7,637 Posted August 5, 2018 New averages for September will be calculated and published after 23rd August as usual. Its only team changes that can't happen after August 12/15th - unless there is a season-ending injury when the BSPA MC will make a decision based on what is best for British Speedway.

A reverse of last season when we had the measure of Poole. Will be lucky to get 60 points over 2 legs even if we do get in the play offs which I doubt.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Looking forward to our visit on the 27th. Swindon come to us on the 22nd and have got lucky as we are missing Klindt and Jakobsen. Gives them a good chance. Edited August 5, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted August 6, 2018 So another team make a positive change to help them reach the play offs & Rosco sits on his hands with 1 point from 9 away meetings & a tough run in home & away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WE would have to make two changes to improve the reserve birth - with 6 meeting's left who's out there for those two changes? No-one, that's the problem. You have to build to 42.5 unless it's injury or like for like I believe (no doubt I'll be correct if my understanding of the rules is incorrect). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct.....some just like to continue harping on about needing a change without offering up any potential solutions....certainly none I have seen that would be of any benefit.

Riss wont score as much as the other Dane but against our reserves away Woryna on his own will be enough. But of course we will get the against all odds victory report from Shov at the end of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was supposed to be no riders last season as well but look what difference Tobias made. If it means having to make 2 changes to get a better reserve in then that should be looked at. Only Adam & Troy should have no worries about getting replaced as they’ve more than done their jobs. Nick, David & to a lesser degree Tobias have been inconsistent all season & couldn’t argue if they were let go with Jack. Better to try to change than accept what’s happened in the last 9 away meetings. Only an opinion just like the rest of you but come on there is some good points made.
