Dale Allitt says that only Jason Doyle averaged more that Robert Lambert in 2018. This is I think is based on their finishing GSAs but If you just use their actual 2018 results, including bonus points, I think Robert comes out on top.

He's always with him.

If they use his Somerset 2018 average x 1.5 he might come in on 6.88.

At last a discussion as to how the conversion from BPL to BCL might apply. Twice I have asked this question but to no avail. I hope they use factual 2018s BPL averages otherwise it defeats the object of their proposed intentions.

I have already posted on this matter asking if anyone knows if 2018 BPL averages apply or will existing BCL 2018 averages be used. Does anyone indeed know for sure which way it will go?

Do the BPL riders already doubling down to the BCL retain their 2018 average for 2019 or do they now have to use their 2018 BPL average multiplied by 1.5?

Leicester have dropped down to the Championship.

Another factor in achieving higher averages than today was that riders and or team managers were allowed to select their own riders starting positions. The better riders naturally selected what they thought were the best gates. Now of course every rider has to go off each of the gates without choice.

My sole purpose in buying a season ticket is so that my money is made available to the club in advance of the season commencing and help to provide funds with which the owners can begin their planning. If I could I would do more to help but unfortunately it is not possible. A small loss is anticipated due to illness and holidays but to me this is not a problem.

My top 20 riders on current form at the end of 2018 includes riders who were unable yo complete the season due to injuries. For these riders I have used their most recent 10 matches. 01 (---) Tom Bacon-Birmingham-1130 02 (01) James Shanes-Birmingham-1110 03 (05) Max Clegg-Stoke-1105 04 (03) Drew Kemp-Mildenhall-1100 05 (02) Connor Mountain-Coventry-1080 06 (---) Danny Ayres-Mildenhall-1070 07 (--- ) Adam Roynan-Plymouth-1050 08 (04) Ben Morley-Isle Of Wight-1040 09 (06) Tom Perry-Belle Vue-1030 10 (---) Luke Bowen-Kent-1025 11 (09) Georgie Wood-Eastbourne-1020 12 (08) Mark Baseby-Eastbourne-990 13 (14) Tom Brennan-Eastbourne-985 14 (11) Alfie Bowtell-Isle Of Wight-960 15 (---) Danyon Hume-Birmingham-950 16 (07) Ben Wilson-Buxton-920 17 (12) Ryan Kinsley-Mildenhall-910 18 (---) Ellis Perks-Plymouth-900 19 (15) Connor Coles-Buxton-890 20 (---) Tom Woolley-Buxton-885

I should just like to congratulate Roger Webster on winning The Leicester Lions 2018 Speedway Fantasy League Competition.

Exactly

Some teams in both leagues may not continue next season so wouldn't it be better to join the rest into just the one league and create the variety you desire.

I would just like to congratulate Poole on them qualifying for the title decider. One thing I would say though is to question the IRR rule which played a part in your win. When it was first introduced it was to enable a team to be compensated when one of their riders was wiped out by an opponent but it seems it is now used to replace an offending rider as well. I feel this to be unfair to the innocent team. In this case Poole had better riders to come in than Somerset which I think proved advantageous. Another point I would like to mention is the use of guest riders in playoff matches. Should Musielak be allowed to guest again now that he has already guested for Belle Vue? I say this because isn't it a rule now that no team can bring in a rider who is already involved in the playoffs.

My top 20 riders on current form as at 30.09.18 are now as follows:- 01 (02) James Shanes-Birmingham-1140 02 (04) Connor Mountain-Coventry-1080 03 (06) Drew Kemp-Mildenhall-1070 04 (10) Ben Morley-Isle Of Wight-1040 05 (--- ) Max Clegg-Stoke-1030 06 (16) Tom Perry-Belle Vue-990 07 (---) Ben Wilson-Buxton-985 08 (08) Mark Baseby-Eastbourne-980 09 (05) Georgie Wood-Eastbourne-975 10 (20) Leon Flint-Birmingham-965 11 (09) Alfie Bowtell-Isle Of Wight-960 12 (---) Ryan KInsley-Mildenhall-955 13 (11 Josh Bailey-Mildenhall-920 14 (---) Tom Brennan-Eastbourne-900 15 (---) Connor Coles-Buxton-890 16 (---) Henry Atkins-Plymouth-885 17 (13) Jack Smith-Belle Vue-880 18 (17) Nathan Stoneham-Kent-875 19 (19) Kyle Bickley-Belle Vue-870 20 (---) Richard Andrews-Plymouth-865

Do Workington still have to ride Lakeside. If so is it home or away?

But they might not be able to choose. Lakeside have 3 matches left with 2 of them being at home. They only need 6 more points to tie with P/Boro and have a much better race points difference.

Who are now in 5th place on +/- 2 points behind Glasgow with both having just one match left.

Glasgow won 49-41 at Ipswich last night.

Sheffield are also riding so I suspect James Shanes has to ride for them.

Another tough on for The Lions. Should be an away win but it would be nice to finish on a win.
