Jesus buddy how long you been doing this? its a guesstimate "gis a break FFS" am just playing the game... If he is doing the UK this year then great I would (me personally) I would like to see him at Newcastle, hes exciting; entertaining and expressed a liking for the track; but as I am not part of the promotion its not my gift to give!!! if he doesn't as the Star article suggested then stick one of them daft names in "its a puppet" like is it not? know what a mean!!! so Pavlic; Ravelic; Ronny Abravamowvic; Puselic; Popadopalic; Tomas Sucmedic (think he once rode for Redcar) or Victor Palovarra or Joel Andersen as they are also available... or anyone else for that matter. "ITS A PUPPET" Anyone really (if we run... Ahem) but he is at this moment in time still available and not as far as I am aware signed up by anyone else in the Championship... So has he decided... Who knows... well you and the SS apparently but if he does change his mind can we have him please? Regards THJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He rode in the GP Qualifier up at Glasgow (riding Ludvig Lindgren's bikes) and scored 6points. Pavlic rode for Swindon in 2008, so I would assume he'd come in on a converted average - he finished after 8 meetings with an EL average of 8.32, so would be over 13. 20 hours ago, TotallyHonestJohn said: Pavlic had five home and three away meetings (or vice versa) when it was strict 4 home 4 away to obtain an average so he was on a 4 which should convert to 6.4.... But his 8.32 average does look quite impressive... Just sayin like... Regards THJ Come on Steve your research skills are letting you down Jurica Pavlic started on a 4.00 and ended up with a 5.11 average for Swindon at the end of the 2009 season so if that were converted now it would be 8.18 at today's exchange rate so not as daft as some have made out... The only snag would be if he goes to Poland this season and ends up racing on a Sunday as that would flat rule him out; I am sure one of the Polish League/Teams experts on here could advise accordingly...

Well, when the BSPA did try to do that with graphics and transponders on the bikes., One of the requirements was for the white helmet cover to change to green so the punters, particularly the Far East and others at home, could use their TV remote control to carry out their bets watching live graphics constructed from signals from the transponders. The income was forecast to be huge, but unfortunately the graphics were the stumbling block and it didn't happen. Just demonstrates that things like that were well thought out, and plans like the green helmet were put in place ready for it's possible introduction. Had it been successful it would have dwarfed the income from the TV rights. But all fans remember is the joke about green helmet covers.
