Roger Jacobs replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
He must be - the line-up shows him with Barker's average. -
Kings Lynn vs Ipswich August 4th
Roger Jacobs replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Rowe must be riding as a guest*. He is still listed as RS7 in the Green Sheets, and his August average is lower than Hume's. * Indeed, Rowe must be a guest, because he's showing in the Ipswich preview with Barker's average. -
Mountain confirmed at #1, with Kemp and Simon Lambert now the reserves.

League Cup Final Sheffield v Kings Lynn
Roger Jacobs replied to RS50's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
20 fixtures? With the League Cup, the League and the Pairs, it’s 13 to be squeezed in at home … -
Speedway can't be considered as a major sport.

Oxford vs Plymouth 27/07/22
Roger Jacobs replied to LisaColette's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Innocent until proven guilty. A "non-negative" result on the night, which has to be tested in an official laboratory. -
McDonalds have a standard set of plans, and also set the expected timescale. They do it all over the world.

Starke is riding again. He will be at reserve in August, so should be able to score a few points. Batchelor, Barker*, Starke & Hume will be able to take R/R rides for Riss. *Barker was unbeaten at Plymouth on Tuesday night, but withdrew before their meeting at Oxford on Wednesday as "unfit to ride" ...

The info posted by Ipswich says a broken left ankle, and no operation until Thursday (because of swelling?), so no prognosis until after the op ... The fibula near the ankle is very important to the stability of the ankle joint.

Wolves v Kings Lynn 25/7/22
Roger Jacobs replied to tellboy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not everyone is affected the same way. Thankfully, due to vaccinations, the impact is greatly reduced (same as for the flu). Some people have health vulnerabilities, so for those in their family or close friends, it's important to be aware if you've got Covid because passing it on could still have serious consequences. -
Certainly looks like it. Worth noting that for August the number of matches will reduce to 14, so the two oldest counting scores for most of the Panthers will be removed, which *could* have an impact ... although, to be fair, it would require a 0.53 swing for Andersen and Nicholls to swap.

They've always named the riders who have "qualified", and then waited for withdrawals ...

The Pairs continues to be a well-guarded secret, although Ipswich have ruined it by admitting there is a meeting very soon: https://ipswichwitches.co/raceday-preview-premiership-pairs-round-4/

Thanks

Could you provide all of the heat times please? The Live Updates team could only get race results, so the scorecard is missing the times, and they like to be as complete as possible - thanks!

Ipswich v Belle Vue 14th July
Roger Jacobs replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Aces can't change their line-up once declared. Wright is named at 4, so they have to use R/R at 4. Was thinking of going, but have decided against. -
Ipswich v Belle Vue 14th July
Roger Jacobs replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Confirmed on SpeedwayGB preview. Already seen Knudsen on BSN and he looks a very tidy rider (13 from 6 in Berwick's win at Oxford) - and comes over really well when interviewed (with, of course, perfect English). -

As per my earlier post, the up-to-date averages are here: https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2022-rider-statistics/ -
Peterborough v Wolves - Mon 11th July
Roger Jacobs replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You only have to look at Google Maps and the adjacent development to the showground to see the intensity of the housing. The Grandstand, pits, track and backstraight areas are roughly 150m x 200m. Overlay that on any part of the housing, and you'll see 40-50 homes. -
Averages (Premiership vs Championship)
Roger Jacobs replied to baiden's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Lots of factors, e.g. home track, position in team. Also, the conversion factor is arbitrary - I'm sure if a statistician looked at all the factors, they could come up with an equation. -
Averages (Premiership vs Championship)
Roger Jacobs replied to baiden's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Green Sheets are not a reflection of this season, because they still include some from 2021. Averages are updated regularly now, showing Home, Away & Overall for 2022. Note that the Green Sheet figures are updated as soon as the referee's official scorecard is available, so will not reflect the current month (and don't forget that the number of matches used for the GSA will reduce by 2 for August): https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2022-rider-statistics/
