It doesn't quite work out like that, simply because of injuries, line-up changes, etc., but that's the principle behind it. I don't see why it matters though, surely the idea of an average is to have an average score for that rider, as long as it's for the same standard of meeting I cannot fathom why cup or play-off meetings are excluded. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way he has ridden for them so far, Lawson could make four or five good starts at Foxhall and score really well. Weather report: a shower passed across Kesgrave at about 15:50 (over by 16:00) and could hear thunder to the north (maybe a couple of miles or so, e.g. heading Woodbridge-ish). The belt of storms stretching NE to SW as they move across the country might hit Foxhall around 18:00 or 19:00 - if they haven't petered-out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In those 6 he has averaged 9.60... I think he needed 3 home and 3 away to get a new average though. 2023 Rider Statistics – British Speedway Official Website Edited October 2, 2023 by Bald Bloke 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't quite work out like that, simply because of injuries, line-up changes, etc., but that's the principle behind it. It made sense in the past not to include KOC matches, but not now. Prem clubs race 24 meetings, but the rolling aves only count the last 20, so that creates an imbalance where some riders will be dropping 4 tough matches, others could be dropping 4 easy matches. In the Champ clubs only raced 16 league matches, so their rolling aves will include 4 (minimum) league matches from 2022. Is it really better to count the last 4 league matches from last season than counting the BSN series / KOC matches instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is riding well recently so that is good for Sheffield although I dont see him scoring as well as Harris might have done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
