What a success he was. However that could be the very reason why he may miss out as he would likely start out as 1 or 2nd heat leader .

I don’t think anyone does. By some fluke it will get the odd one right but that’s as rare as Nicki Pedersen riding clean.

Missed my point completely. I’ve already said NP and any other top rider is great for British Speedway. It’s irrelevant when Wolves play Sheffield as that wasn’t what I said. I said I wouldn’t support a Wolves team with NP in. You have no idea how often I go. But thanks for outing one of your many aliases. I stopped texting 2 seasons ago because I had work on some Mondays so couldn’t commit. Doesn’t wipe out the many years of texting every week and often at away matches not even related to Wolves. No doubt you are one of those who slate people who bother to actually help Speedway updates on a regular basis. Maybe you could try and do something useful for a change? Just a thought.

I’ll be asking several question at the next talk in so ŵill certainly ask about big names affecting attendance.

Of course they would. He is proper box office material and most want the best British rider back racing in the UK. Plus it’s not rocket science, the more top riders in the top flight the bigger the crowds. Nicki will add to most turnstiles next year, that’s a great thing. Ditto Zmarzlik, Emil. Woffy would certainly add more thru the turnstiles, probably more than a rider past his best.

Sure....... Schlein......... Rolling average 6.65 ............2019 7.04 Iversen ....... Rolling Average 7.54 ............ 2019 6.97 Lawson ..... Rolling average 5.78 ............. 2019 6.01 Cook ......... Rolling average 7.82 .............. 2019 7.70 Nicholls .... Rolling average 5.50 .............. 2019 5.33 As you can see some are better some are worse. A quick comparison of club websites averages and the official rolling averages will see besides a few exemptions that most riders averages from most clubs are all slightly different. Grading would bring a better reflection of ability than rolling averages currently do imho.

The rolling averages are not accurate in the slightest. But at least give a representation of form over a much longer period.

Yes, there is that point too.

Woffinden would bring the fans back like no other.

He would have to bang in 12 or 13 every week to convince the hardcore who don’t forget. I doubt we will ever see him in a Wolves race jacket again, and I for one couldn’t be happier. If he did it’s a season I’d happily miss.

Attendances down more like. Quite a lot of regular Wolves fans can’t stick him. And the feeling is mutual apparently. id never support a team with him in it, pure and simple.

I’d love it to be Freddie but I doubt it so I’m expecting Sam.

But pretty dire at most other places.

If you read my posts widely I’ve been a big supporter of riders not using old outdated averages. Fairness for ALL riders and ALL teams. They continue to use it to suit so unless that changes I see no issue why Tai needs to be re-assessed if he wanted to come back, however you can be sure that the majority would vote against Wolves getting an advantage if he wanted to come back. Imagine the uproar If he was announced as our next signing. The forum would go into meltdown!

Rightly so, I’m glad to hear it. Check his Polish average, if anything he needs an increase.

First thing I thought when I saw the announcement. Well done to the BSPA by making all the rules clear in their statement....... not. Surprised that Troy is back with a potential exposed bottom end. Great for heats 13 and 15 tho. Must admit I’ve never seen or heard any comments from him saying he wasn’t coming back. Seems some have ruled him out without reason.

Good news that Rory is back. 2 down then.

Absolutely.

Ryan is a great signing and can only get better at Monmore. Great start. Who will it be 2moro?

Think he could be a top rider by now If he hadn’t had lost his visa and didn’t have to miss 2018.

Great news that Ryan is staying with us. Bags of potential to improve on a very attractive average. Id imagine every club has tried to sign him so huge kudos to the management for keeping him.

In fairness in averages abroad he his still scoring well.

I’m over the moon with that news.

Aah bless. If putting out club news before the club concerned does makes you feel big and clever then good luck to you If smugness is your bag. Perfectly put. So happy he didn’t sign for Wolves. Can’t stomach him.

They would all come back if the money was good. And if someone can afford him then it would be brilliant for our league.
