He was 3rd in the averages for Leicester, now being thrown in as a No1 his average is gonna take a dramatic hit, he's nowhere near that level anymore. He's getting chewed & spat out vs other heatleaders Peterborough have a run of home meeting which is a track I’m sure he prefers as a home circuit so lots of earning potential. Won’t be in the playoffs with Peterborough but can do the guest bookings instead. if his average drops that’s a advantage for next season. Good move I’d suggest 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a bad career move it would be if his average went down so he could take more guest bookings and be a more attractive proposition for teams to sign next year. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJC 251 Posted August 7, 2023 Is this the first time he's been bombed out mid season? I certainly can't remember it happening in the top league anyway. I know there were a few changes pre season around covid that saw him move teams but all before a wheel was turned. Finally a victim of the numbers game he plays so well each year to ensure maximum guest bookings and is about to kick off. That being said, he shouldn't be the one making way for the poor decision to sign Batch for Morris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's getting chewed & spat out vs other heatleaders The same as happens every year - Harris has a nack to keeping his average at a manageable level so he is able to guest for just about everybody and a good signing for next year too. His average taking a dramatic hit for the next couple of months is good for him in the long term Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope he goes on and does the businesses for Peterborough My mistake. Thought it was Chris Holder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s not the first victim of the numbers game and he won’t be the last. Little bit woe is me all this. He’s a very entertaining rider but the sport owes him (or any other rider) nothing. Yet most of them who ride here get two team spots and multiple guest bookings. Ill treated and placed in situations he hasn’t wanted to be in. Welcome to the world of being a British Speedway fan.
