That’s irrelevant and entirely a result of team selections through the season. All teams started out with a limit of 38 and after the first matches the combined average was a bit lower than 42 (due to some races finishing with two riders). Subjective team changes were then made during the season due to loss of form and injuries, generally with lower averaged replacements coming in, so the combined average went another bit lower than 42. And so we ended up with 41.3. That will happen practically every season but it doesn’t change the facts that 42 is the objective limit and an above figure can bring in more higher averaged riders (from the PL or abroad) and a below figure can move higher averaged riders around, exclude some of them and reduce costs. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want your speedway to continue at your local track, year on year, set the limit lower, keep the promotion's losses down and let the sport be there for you and your friends. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when you are arguing with an idiot I suppose posting an idiotic response is the go to reaction to try and put over your cause or case however misguided it may be; especially for the good folk on here who may not be fully aware of the truth... Some may even believe you but two wrongs don't make a right... Don't' rise to the bait as all he is doing is "choking the chicken" at the though he is "boiling your pish"... On a genuine point with regard to your last question; the way things collapsed at the start of the season I don't think anyone got anything back (or look likely to if I am totally honest) although there was a promise from the promotion that once the financial mess was sorted there would be a concerted effort to get the fans sorted out too... again all I would say on that is don't hold your breath...

jenga 2,998 Posted November 1, 2019 i myself personally dont mind the promotion keeping any funds they may or may not owe me . i am just glad the we @ workington seen a season never to forget . Laura deserves all the help she can get to help her overcome this situation . some folk are craving for any funds owing . maybe in time they will be refunded . but i fail to see what this has got to do with any OTHER TEAMS fans . . maybe when the boot is on the other foot they will reflect just how awful they have acted on here ...

Pot , Kettle and black spring to mind. Wasn't that long ago 90% of Workington fans regularly put the boot into a championship club on here and occasionally still do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
