This year is somewhat different IMO due to the rolling averages being reset. Rolling averages were introduced to counter this exact type of situation. Therefore there should have been more thought as to ensuring it couldnt happen this year. Allowing teams to use a mix of original and revised averages is what the mistake is. Allowing a team to benefit from the reductions in half the riders figures whilst ignoring improvements in the others is just ridiculous. Should have been all 7 using original averages or all 7 with newly achieved avearges and not a mix. To simply state 'there is nothing to see here' is very blinkered and insular and fails to acknowledge the potential continuing damage matters such as this does to the sport

How did Flappy hack your account Baldy? 😂

makes more sense than many of your posts 😜

very good scoob 👍 Although there is a difference between pitiful bleating and bleating about something where you know youre right 😛

I think Flappy was hoping he wouldnt score in the Prem ,drop to a 3 and then there to be no convesion factor between the leagues.

so 42.53 against a limit of 40 without having ridden since redclaration without a like for like change.....

I agree actually Scotsman. Yes we will all give a bit of banter when it happens but at least it shows they are bothered. What I dont like is the opposite when riders obviously dont give a s#!t and just give up

Looks like Cookie doesnt want his reputation over shadowed by Ritchie and has taken it out on the phone at Somerset 😜😜

Looked to me that it was too grippy on the entry to the turns meaning that the riders had to 'coast' in rather than attack it to be confident of getting a comfortable exit

Re the arguement that the result should be called despite not running heat 10 as the result want in doubt. The regulations don't allow it so it cannot/should not happen. Look at the regulation re averages and the requirement for 4 home 4 away. There is provision to award a new average without this being met and it still is not so why would it be decided to make an award of a match result where there is no such provision in any circumstance.

Finished about 9.45

not allowed as not like for like. Cant just take the combined averages. If make a double change then have to come below 40. Would need to shed about 2.50 points so would be Scott and another 2 pointer with Connor moving into the 1-5. Dont see that as an improvement myself.

A point worth noting re the meeting is that it could easily not gone ahead with Barabara Horley being taken ill beforehand (best wishes to her btw) Take a bow Mark Styles for stepping in at the last minute. It mustve been a daunting prospect particularly at such short notice. 👍👏 Dont think there were any glaring errors. Perhaps when Lambert was on his tac ride and Nathan nearly lost it having rounded him off turn 2 it couldve been seen as dangerous/out of control but 50/50

Good to meet up with you CookieIpswich 👍 Hopefully we didnt put you off wanting to come and sit with us again 😆

Comfortably the poorest meeting of the season so far 😪😪

Changes could only be like for like now anyway as the team total is above 40. A double chain would mean shedding nearly 2 points

For any meetings on or after 3/6 Perks will have his new average and wont be at reserve

oh deep joy 😜

whoever wins out in this one its gonna be awkward agreeing dates. With Sheffield you have the 2 Thursday night track issue With Edinburgh you have - well just Edinburgh 😜

No point in signing him if he isnt. Surely there would be no facility for him either if he were to ride elsewhere.

youre a cheeky bugger Scotsman 😛

The Witches should have enough to win and stop Newcastle taking a point but only just. 8 to 12 point win 😃

when our group at Foxhall starting making all sorts of noise I think we did literally wake a few up - one poor old dear almost dropped a stitch in her knitting too 😆

Blown over in the storms of 1987 (??) I think.I believe it was originally part of the football ground at Portman Road before being moved to Foxhall. Ironically I now sit in the new stand right above the section of terrace that Id stand on with my dad as a youngster. Used to collect up the sweets thrown into the crowd during the parade. Also liked to get much closer when you were able to stand right up behind the stock car fence. Ah the old red and white steel panels - perfect to hide behind as protection from the the flying shale.

Just think what fun you could have if the new average only included the matches in those 2 weeks..... Perhaps next year 😜
