Because the rule was badly written. Common sense would have said 7.5 for Championship but it didn’t. Next Season Poole could sign Zmarzlik and Dudek on 5 averages.

Yeh that would be nice,

Nasty crash there. Hope Pjiper is ok, as well as Heeps.

Boughen looks a very tidy rider. Got a good style. Beaten up in his first but looks a talent and one for the future.

“Yet to see this young lad ride but there’s been lots of trumpeting of his name. So I looked up his scoring and there’s nothing there to see. Seems many are getting carried away and for a young lad to have his own thread for scoring zero is ridiculous. Let him learn at his own pace and if he’s any good in a few seasons then that’s great. But at the moment he seems out of his depth in the Championship, never mind the PL.”

Guess you have changed your mind now then!

Sensing a Tigers win in the making. 

 

30-24 after Heat 9

 

Masters coming in as a TS for Heeps who is now out of the meeting.

Was just about to say something similar.Absolutely ridiculous sometimes is speedway and it's rules.You could have had Sayfutdinov and Laguta both on an 8pt average if they wanted in the Championship then.

Happy to be corrected. He has impressed me tonight.

Masters was brilliant in that one, his slingshot under Brennan on bend 4 was incredible.

 

32-28 after 10 heats

i presume this rule was in at the start of the season?

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

Good meeting this. Last heat was excellent. 

[Panthers99 434]

That 5.00 average wasn't bad there.....

Entertaining stuff this

And that shows why Glasgow are clear favourites for the title. Tarasenko playing with Masters before waiving at him as he blasts through. World class v Aussie journeyman who is top Championship averages.

Unfortunately signings like this make a mockery of the whole league, like Lambert coming in last year for BV for the PL playoffs. Not Glasgows fault, just exploiting the crap rulebook.

Is that the crap rulebook that Matt has many a time used to his advantage.

 

By the way Matt was really impressed with Glasgows move.

Up The Pirates!

Cracking heat again. Vadim, take a bow.
