No announcement officially yet from Scunthorpe but nice that someone in the know(Dave) has let the cat out of the bag. cheers. Max Clegg sore the bulk of his points at Newcastle last year & struggled away. http://www.gbspeedway.com/2022/riderperf.php?mc1=x&mc2=r&mc3=av&mc4=x&rider=Max Similar in 2021 http://www.gbspeedway.com/2021/riderperf.php?mc1=x&mc2=r&mc3=av&mc4=x&rider=Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, I think the decision was made on or before Tuesday. It is why the Brits need a bigger reduction in team building. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'd imagine had to redeclare Monday or Tuesday. Particularly young Brits, need better incentives to sign them and keep them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Scunny are dropping an Aussie & a Brit for 2 Brits, so in this instance giving a bigger reduction (which I'm all for) probably wouldn't have helped. Making a foreigners lowest ave 4.5 or 5.00 rather than the current 4.00 could help the Brits too? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe have a minimum number of British riders per team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Premiership should not use it but use a minimum average system of PL 4, converted CL 6. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Premiership should not use it but use a minimum average system of PL 4, converted CL 6. I really like the RS system in the Premiership, as long as teams picked the best options out there, all the rising stars would have been at least 4/5 Champ riders (except Flint) and the sort you want to race in the Prem at reserve. Because Belle Vue & Ipswich have chosen to pick weaker riders, some may feel that it's too big a jump for the rising stars? I would have preferred them to keep the RS system for the Champ too though.
