Oh dear oh dear oh dear!! What is the ref doing??

makes sone good sense and also has sound mathmatical principle behind it.It is considered that by discarding the top and bottom say 5% of scores gives a more accurate reflection of a sample. So if using 20 match rolling you would only use the middle 18 scores. However many struggle with a basic average let alone rolling averages and are even less likely im sure to cope with the example i set out.

Credit where its due - great result for the Panthers.

Im not sure if Im more embarrassed for Scunny and the score today or my own Witches for the fact we had two goes and couldnt beat them!!

Well with the provisional dates for the next round set towards the end of August theres plenty of time for a replay so Im going for draw!

two wrongs dont nake a right as the old saying goes. agree totally - kocup are not included on the basis that all teams dont ride each other therefore it would skew the figures yet the regionalised lcup is.

I dont dispute either of those points assuming Lyager produces a better return than Holub.

now that change will need MC sanction - wonder if it will be forthcoming??? Is dropping a Brit with an established 4.5+ average for an assessed foreigner in the best interests of British Speedway??

lets see then if Rob G is a man of honour (I dont doubt he is btw)On any redeclaration whilst Holub is under 5 he should only build a team to a limit that would keep Scunny under 42.50 if Holub was assessed as 5. Eg as he is now listed as 3 only build to 40.50 This way he can show he acts within the spirit of the rules and not just manipulate because he can. No other team is in the position where their assessed rider can drop to 3 so there is no chance Scunny can lose out taking this moral stance. All in the best interests of British Speedway surely???

no there is a circus at the Suffolk Showground this week. Although some would say its just a bunch of clowns at Foxhall as well. lol

I going for Holub to get double figures. wink

Ive looked at the showground calender for Tuesdays and there could be a problem with other events planned - a morris dancers convention snail racing a striped paint demonstration a lace doily exhibition a Blue Peter bring and buy sale an antique tool display a transgender therapy meeting (although that may be swapped with a date they feel more in tune with) The showground see all these as higher priority than the speedway so there are concerns for me that it work.

you cant afford him......

and with the hot weather even the creek will be drying up ! wink

of course as we all know planning for a second season is pointless as regs can/will be changed again to suit......

Complete and utter bollax!! Should be min 5 no question. Just as well the no7 is protected or he would soon be shipped out for more foreign dross.

if you take that into account then there would have to be no d/u full stop.

they share a track so cant ride at the same time!!!!!

its the plaice to be to discuss red herring signings!

perhaps they forgot to tell him the average manipulation plan to squeeze in the Stokes replacement had been scrapped!! wink

fair point and personally I would love to see Adam back in the PL - even with the pussycats!! Could be blocked as well though. No 2015 average and gas now missed more than 1 season so technically has to come in on concerted EL average. Of course the "best interests" you would hope would be invoked in his case too to allow it on his 4.67 but who knows. Also if/when Scunny reintroduce Lygager that will need MC sanction - I wonder if they will get it.....

Whilst it is a shocking disgrace of a decision can I just point out that many reactions are somewhat hypocritical to say it denying 2 Brits jobs. To a man (or woman) you were all smugly predicting Stokes super duper replacement after 4 matches. No such concerns about putting a Brit out of a job then........

looks like you need a rewrite of that last page since the BSPA MC have ripped out the proceeding chapter!!

i wouldnt blame Danny at all if he went to Boro - would be close to unbeatable at home riding the EOES every week. Bruv stays at Foxhall though so would have to have Richie back on the spanners and the Witches would need a new team manager as well. wink

Seems strange that given this is a blank Thursday at Sheffield and Ipswich have no meeting (original reserved date in list) that the previous rained off fixture wasnt slotted in at Foxhall tonight. Edit - just seen Nico and Paco in SEC qualifiers and Lewi at Swindon. Those 3 missing probably the reason then!
