Never thought Craig Cook would be better at Poole than Basso, but that is the world we live in now. Must be the surname! That wasn't the question Lisa, you stated that Scunthorpe didn't struggle at Poole, 49-41 with Duggy getting 18. You had Sedgemen guesting at 5 and scoring 7. Did Poole maybe not pass on "the little special start trick up your sleeves" that good old Richie mentioned on BSN on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zach Cooks, 4.6 was a colossal joke, his playoff and cup average was over 7, last year's averages were based on 10 meetings, this year is 20 so it's harder to adjust.

The one Glasgow were at? Hence the post on a Glasgow thread. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although it helps to suppress the average of the rider getting the bonus points (which will definitely help him), it doesn’t materially change the points average for the team… unless they want to let the lead rider go. Logically every rider should try to finish behind a guest when getting a 5-1 or 3-3, lowers their average, but doesn't affect the guest Edited July 7, 2023 by szkocjasid 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The funny thing is I'm sure our season tickets and theirs are similarly priced and we've got more passes in one meeting than they have all season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
