NOT??

I don't like the concept of doubling up/down BUT it appears it is necessary at least for the next year or so. I seem to remember someone suggesting that if you have doubling up/down it should be limited to those riders that are 100% committed to UK speedway, no matter there nationality, and that to me would be fair. If Scott/Eddie can't double up they will either retire which is no use to anyone or seek to ride abroad which doesn't help UK speedway.

Read it carefully, it says Minimum and maximum converted averages being 3.00/12.00. Converted averages refer to riders who don't have a 'proper' average in the league and so a converted average is used e.g. Jake Allen at Scunthorpe.

Spot on

Enough names have been quoted for 2 teams

The alphabetical list has jpb as being 2 point average so you could use him

The alphabetical list has riders with a 2 point average

For everyone that asks the question - don't know if this team will fit when suggesting their ideal team - you can work it out for yourself as the averages are on the Speedway GB site. Here is the link to the riders listed in alphabetical order http://www.speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/c17_issue_final_alphabetical.pdf I'm not the best speller but you would have thought that someone would have proof read this important document before issuing it. Even I have spotted 3 basic errors so there's bound to be more

Surprised if Schlein was signed. It rains a lot in Glasgow 😋

Not surprised. If Swindon stick with Doyle Nick won't be able to ride for them. Not sure if any other Premier team could fit him in which means a championship team and as he is riding in Poland his options are really limited to Thursday or Friday night teams. He showed he can ride Ashfield winning the riders championship and with James grieves at his side could be a clever signing

Can we keep this thread for actual facts? There's plenty of other places for hopeful ramblings.

Aaron suffered from bike problems after the Berwick away match and couldn't get back to where he had been despite even getting his tuner over from Poland. He also didn't get a double up slot which limited his earnings I'd have him back at Glasgow.

If this is about fans staying at home to watch craig cook on the TV then as another poster pointed out with the lack of fixtures you can fit your matches around the grand prix.

He made a cracker for Workington in the last match of the season at Ashfield and to be fair to mcgregor he did not call it back, which surprised a good few people

Still a Glasgow asset so they'll be looking forward to receiving the loan fee

I wonder how we've managed to get a Friday night when we were refused in previous years

I'd try and get a new face on the management committee to replace one of the old school. Someone like Stuart dickson of Glasgow

No

I could be wrong but think a 4.51 premier average would be rounded to 4.5 and the 5.421 would be 5.5

yep doing away with the 'heavy' hitters

I think kermi is waiting until he is told the team by Stuart, being a trusted fan that does not leak any info, and then he'll be on here with his predictions 🤐🙊

Certainly was, at least for 2017

As has been said many times before Glasgow are not the highest payers in our league BUT they are regular payers and stick to the agreed contract.

For those not there last night, the Glasgow fans voted for Ryan macdonald as rider of the night. It was good to see the guests on both sides giving 100%
