  1. In the past riders on assessed averages have not been able to double up Must have an attained an average from the previous season in either league which is then converted
  2. There is nothing wrong with the new conversion rate or its longer term intention which is to create a recognisable gap between the 2 league standards It will also make doubling down less attractive Where (as often) it falls down is that the inplementation creates as many questions as answers and therfore anomalies as per this situation At the moment the difference in standard does not warrant a rate of 1.5 Boro have worked out this team superbly to take advantage - its not their fault the figures are currently skewed! There are other issues too which havent been addressed such as riders having lower 2nd tier averages than top tier - this is far more of a challenge to the set up and longer term aim It would be relatively straight forward to combine results from both leagues for riders doubling up, use the agreed conversion to weight the relevant part, and provide a single average to be used in both leagues
  3. I would imagine Dean that this could be one of the most difficult things to deal with Whilst all riders go into it with their eyes open about the risk of injury to themselves to know you are the cause of anothers misfortune (however accidental) must be very hard at times
  4. Doesnt matter who owns it or what work has been done it wil be forever Compost Corner to some of us
  5. A few grand!!!? Busters paying - it'll be a few hundred
  6. John Louis was 29 before he had a go at speedway
  7. I think I heard that Jenkins is not planning 2nd tier in 2019 so that he can prioritise the completion of his studies
  8. Im sure the past will be the past and we could all move on if needs be
  9. Dont think its likely that Tungate will be back - as far as Im aware he is not popular with any section of the Witches set up (promoter, fans or sponsors) Scott Im hearing hasnt even had a call at all yet let alone an offer So we need to hope that Euro trip went well
  10. Think that woukd leave somewhere around 14 points for the final 2
  11. Very happy to have some news A decent start to our team building naming the reserves first (only kidding Danny) Jake Allen is a bit of a coup for the Witches given fans of almost every team had him on their wish list Now we just have to wait and see what Chris can conjur up to complete the side!
  12. It will only work if the multiplier is applied on up to date PL averages Whilst riders continue in both leagues and can maintain these figures independently it will have much less impact
  13. I hope it means the whole 7 are in place but if it is 2 familiar faces then perhaps not Not long to wait now!
  14. What a dodgy bunch of so and so's Hope its a new No1 thats announced - open up with big fanfare
  15. Perhaps Poole will feature in series 2 of Attenboroughs Dynasties
  16. North South West East Its easy to get your coasts mixed up when youre in landlocked Wolverhampton
  17. Its a cracking side for the Showground and whilst there will no doubt be a few flaky away performances (Foxhall please ) it will be a shock if this 7 didnt not only make the play offs but mount a serious challenge
