If Musielak and Bellego finished on 7.37 then it's fair to think Woryna could achieve a 7 and be classed 7 too.

True, but says how silly the rule is though, perhaps Holder should be a 9 then as he didn't finish the season here lol.

Smolinski rode plenty of gp's too, does he become a 9.

So Ford votes for the 1 over 8 only to dump on Kurtz, unlikely but anything's possible in speedway.

I would say more than two steps back. Ok so gp riders and riders missing for 12 months are 9. what about some of these up an d coming U21 stars, what figure will be plucked out of the air for them?

True, think he may be back at Leicester.

Kyle clearly not back at Poole then.

Can't see our team being much better.

A top two of Morris and Bachelor won't strike much fear in the opposition.

The same chapman who wants to dilute the product and save cash will fork out for the WC, unlikely.

Swindon were on a loser anyway, either Doyle or Morris had to be sacrificed, whoever it was wouldn't have been happy, I expect chapman is doing cartwheels.

Ridiculous decision, let's just hand the WC to a rival, boost their attendances and lower ours, talk about a double whammy, guess we'll be feathering someone else nest with a loan fee unless Rosco has a real rabbit up his sleeve.

So which year have they rolled back to, when only one t/s was allowed.

It is for them, you know how they want to dilute the product, I was expecting 40 at best.

Cheated themselves more like, as Swindon and wolves could theoretically build stronger teams without these oh so dangerous 8+ riders.

Probably slurring their words, was going to vote on only rider whose a mate, but came out as 8. Surprised the pissed up buffoons came up with a decent points limit.

The motivation to only allow 1 rider of 8 strikes me to be born out of spite, and to drag the top teams down to the bottom, Swindon could quite easily have a stronger top two using up less points, appears like a hasty decision with little thought.

Agreed, this appears a bit half hearted and almost pointless.

We could have JD/PK or JD/MZ or JD/TW probably stronger combos than JD/NM, using up less points within the 42.5 limit, most likely be a 12th hour rule change saying only 1 current GP rider, you would think those that voted for this silly rule would prefer Swindon to burn points on JD/NM than potentially having two top line GP riders.

Time to let Somerset have their thread back folks.....

Average being the operative word,

Must be as Musielak likely to get nod over Bellego, Heeps & THJ no thanks. Hopefully: Doyle, Ellis, Musielak, Zach = 25.83 add PK perhaps. Would Adam and Zach get 2.5% reduction?

Apology accepted.

Should be as many as you like whilst still 6 behind, limited to one t/s per rider, although I wouldn't include ht14 as the make up is similar to the excluded ht8,

Good point.
