H20 48 Posted November 14, 2018 I just don't get where dropping the team average reduces costs. All it does is change the rider m market, the riders know clubs are after them due to their average and they simply ask for more money as they know they are wanted. Imagine being in Kyle's position a two point rider that just about every club will try and sign virtually name his price. All it does is weaken teams on track so we will not be seeing the likes of Cooke Wells etc in that league which is a shame. If Workington run I personally don't care what the team is as long as we have a team. Fixtures or lack of are a worry for regular speedway but for us that's better than nothing. Just hard to promote. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magnus 80 Posted November 14, 2018 Well I believe. 38 point team average quite low but how about:- 1. Proctor - 6.96 2. Campton - 6.32 3. Klindt - 6.94 4. Jensen 6.59 5. Aarnio 6.83 6. J Thomas 2.30 7. Bickley 2.00 Total Team average = 37.94 (I think ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
