For once Starman is making some sense. He is saying that the difference between PL and CL is smaller than ever as demonstrated by riders averages being similar in both leagues where they double up. Back 'in the day' you could about half the 2nd tier average to see how a rider would score in the top league. Now we have riders at No1 for their teams at both levels

If it is an illness doesn't that mean a 7 day suspension..

Brain fade from me - I was convinced a couple if fixtures were after the average cut off date and of course thought the supporters cup were included As a side note- just because the regs quote something doesn't mean it happens. This year the CL states league and shield but last year they didn't despite the shield fixtures counting.....Plus when it suits they are ignored anyway

Chocolate sponsorship opportunity too ....

I was sure that the sets issued early season were including the supporters cup meetings???? Oh well perhaps not.... Why would matches after 23rd Sept not be included in the final averages? The season runs til the end of Oct (officially) so any meeting that meets the criteria should be included in the final averages Any other scenario would be a farce..... ah ok its speedway so that suits

Not quite - any qualifying meetings after 23rd Sept will go into an updated final listing (league and supporters cup count)

All a bit of a shambles

And quite possibly little if any profit from that directly

Pure merchandise and marketing identity

A bit harsh Baldy I wouldn't say I particularly dislike him just that I've never really taken to him. His brother mind I DO particularly dislike

Surely that's down to the fact that an ongoing use shows some need for that to be retained whilst leaving it to sit fallow means they can argue it no good for anything else and improves the planning chances

Nightmare more like I don't share Guy's enthusiasm on the subject

Spoilsport

Of course a certain Holder snr has very strong links with an important part of the Ipswich set up......

If the thread annoys Starman then I'm all for it

How many years had he been away?

Using the conkers scoring system the Witches now sit on 94 points and Poole bottom on zero...

I will take the hook Why should he? Reductions are only for missing full seasons through injury not because you couldnt/wouldn't ride in the UK or no team wanted to offer a place After a long absence a reassessment is considered but that could be up or down not just an automatic reduction

I reckon it wont have happened before you are back.....

Quite possibly still the 7 (sic) which makes the perceived underhanded actions even sadder.....

I seem to remember this was actually voted in during the 97 agm but immediately scrapped when the all conquering Witches swept the board in 98

Who would've thought this thread would still be 'live' in October

Would he be eligible for the required visas.....

Nothing that will change the world

Why should we have to make allowances? If he spouts off like a buffoon others should be able to call him out on it
