I was lucky enough to visit it just once. Great little race track - almost round and actually very flat is my memory of it. -

Agree with the sentiment. With every situation you need to try and learn from it and take any positives.Away wins are hard to get anywhere but especially at strong sides with impressive home records. To throw away the chance of one is very frustrating and disappointing. So yes Id go with your positivity looking forward but only after the rightful b@!!@king is handed out first. -
Rebels V Stars Fri 16th June
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Fred5's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
yes it is crazy. Especially as in the Championship this part of the regulation has consistently NOT be applied. To do so now for the Premiership would show the usual apathy for integrity and transparecny so expect it to happen 😣 -
kyle fell whilst leading heat 8 as well so could and should have been 6 paid 9 from 4

We need to start showing up away from home on a consistent basis. A point at least should always be a feasible aim. Going for a draw tonight. Up the Witches!! 👍 -
I can totally understand why a few are planning to give it a miss. It has been pretty mundane fayre in the last couple of meetings. I'm going on the basis that if you're not expecting much you cant be too disappointed Sometimes its those meetings that don't seem they are likely to be the best that actually turn out to be just that

but if there is any kind of consistency they wont. There have been multiple precedents this year already. (Including the Witches one I missed 😴😴)

Thats one of the strange quirks of speedway - rider does well and all of a sudden no teams wants to take the risk on a high average. Yet when a rider does poorly they are seen as a bargain average and at least initially in demand. Hall has probably had too many poor showings now to still be in that 2nd category but there will still be that nagging thought in fans heads - "he could smash his average if he can find a bit of form" Could go either way. -
Ipswich Town FC have announced a new pricing structure for next season with the aim to attract a younger fan base. Under 23s will be able to obtain entry for £15 (standard is £25) and prices 12-19 and for under 12 slashed against previous season figures. That shows its not just speedway will an ageing demographic and similar concerns.

Whilst Kyles points return has been a little down on that hoped for/expected one thing he hasnt lacked is effort. He has had few 'poor rides' and generally even when he hasnt scored he has been in the mix. Just that 5% something missing which will return IMO and hopefully sooner rather than later.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
whoops my mistake it was indeed a mix (I am wrong sometimes and happy to admit when I am) I will blame trying to read downloads in small print on my phone 😉 My opinion doesnt change - I would say that all 7 should be revised upon redeclaration in this case - All on original or all on revised. That gives a true reflection of the team total. Of course in this case as I mentioned that would include Danyon and therefore change was under like for like - 2.26/4.57. -

So should we expect each teams 1-7 to be awarded a revised average whether the individual riders have ridden the 4h 4a or not...... -

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
NONE of the Ipswich riders had their new average in force. ALL of the 1-7 were using the season start figures to make the 40 limit. Yes it couldve been decided to enforce ALL revised figures (indeed perhaps SHOULD) in which case Greaves was over 2 points BELOW the rider he replaced. -

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not quite the same as all the original averages were used for the total to be under 40 and not a mix taking advantage of some dropping. The other thing to bear in mind is that had the revised averages been used then Danyon would have been raised from his 2 to a new figure of 4.57 meaning Greaves would fit under by over 2 points 😛 -

If you dont storm to the title with a team built using 4 more points than every other team you have failed miserably 😛
