Personal insults eh? maybe get your facts right. Number of Clubs I have shut down? Exactly zero

Jake’s not either of those things at the moment…..

Yet more intelligent background from someone who has been involved with the Club. A postponement decision is never taken lightly, as has been explained, but once it is made there is no going back. All 'iainb's comments are made with the benefit of 100% hindsight - wouldn't that be a valuable tool in a Promoter's toolbox.

It’s a while since I’ve read so much puerile rubbish in one post. Peterborough would never postpone a meeting without real justification as dates can be at a premium at the busy Showground. You’ve had two former Promoters come to this thread to explain the situation to you, but still you know best? Perhaps you should ask to join the track staff

You’ve had a detailed explanation from a former Peterborough promoter who lives very close to the track. As another former promoter whose parents live just as close I can tell you that the decision was 100% correct.

He does After 4 home and 4 away meetings An asterisk means an assessed average, and the greyed-out figures are for guest purposes at home where a guest can be used that has an average up to 5% higher than the rider being replaced. I've not seen any 'ifs and buts' on there :-)

Not yet, but I see that Leicester’s press release refers to the Thompsons getting averages. Any achieved MA for an RS rider will be used for team positioning but won’t count towards the team’s total points so unlikely to affect Kemp’s position.

That’s not what’s happened at Leicester Correct

Fair enough, I understand better what you were saying now and I'm sorry if I was a bit sharp. However current form has no immediate effect on a riders average, although it will enhance his rolling average eventually. I don't know why Drew Kemp doesn't have an average when he's completed more than the required 4 home and 4 away meetings, I'll ask the question!

You’ve already said that, but however many times you repeat it it’s still nonsense

Statistics such as these are purely for information, and to give some indication of current form. They are NOT the official averages that govern our sport which are the Green Sheets (GSAs) that appear on the Speedway GB site.

Correct

I’d say he couldn’t guest in the PL - the regulation states: Rising Star riders can only compete in 2 leagues at any one time. although that phrase is open to interpretation…..

Ignoring the majority of your post which is ill-informed rubbish, no doubt posted in an attempt to look clever - Jason Crump’s PL average is 8.00 and Sam Masters’ average is 7.52.

I’ve posted many times recently that team line-ups are agreed in advance by both teams, the referee and the governing body - by definition a declared team line-up is correct.

When Hans Andersen is declared into the team line-up, Proctor and Bates will be removed and an eligible rider with an average of 4.01 or less will be declared; that rider will then be replaced by Kennedy in a new declaration as soon as he is available.

Yes he would http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/risingstars21

Mmmm. King’s; civvies; must have got… I’d think twice before criticising others for spelling mistakes :-)

Very droll. Autocorrect strikes again

Plus the 1.54 points Leicester are currently under the 39 point limit (as they have a 1* Rising Star). Current averages: Douglas 8.59 Morris 8.41 Howarth 6.99 Bates 6.05 Proctor 5.42 Dan Thompson 2.00 Total 37.46 Bates 6.05 + Proctor 5.42 + 1.54 = 13.01 Hans Anderson would come in at 9.00, leaving 4.01 for the other rider

That might have been an exciting race - no way of telling from that footage.

That’s correct. The way averages are calculated is all laid down in the Speedway Regulations http://www.scbgb.co.uk/regulations (Chapter 10)

The meeting was cancelled at 6pm without a wheel being turned - heavy rain at 3pm and the track work was in vain.

Let’s hope that from 19th July all the restrictions are removed and everyone can go back to paying at the turnstiles - problem solved. I’ll look out for ‘uk_martin’ in shades and camouflage trying not to be seen :-)

I understand his complaint, and I don’t profess to have a detailed understanding of data protection and credit card security. However if the only issue is that his name appears on a seating plan I don’t see the problem. If he arrived at the track and was greeted as ‘Mr Smith’ (I can’t use his correct name as he posts here under a pseudonym) would that cause outrage? If there was a written seating plan in the restaurant with ‘Mr Smith’ appearing on it would he tear it down in disgust? I repeat my earlier questions, has he contacted the booking company or the Club to discuss the issue - or is it just an opportunity to pursue an old vendetta? Frankly I think it’s a great idea publishing names, as if I was attending Birmingham he’s the last person I would want to sit next to :-)
