  1. Bring back AJ! I'd visit more often
  2. Doyle, along with NKI, Holder & Jonsson must have that converted average adjusted. There is no sense in signing a rider on an average it is impossible to retain. Doyle & NKI should have an average of =+13.5/5*4 = 10.8. Holder and Jonsson should be =+13.25/5*4 = 10.6
  3. If Klindt is still a Wolves asset they would be stupid if they don't take him on his PL of 5.4 average attained during his time at Scunthorpe, Clegg on his Edinburgh average is also a bonus. Lindgren on 10.09 is also the most attractive #1 in the Premiership surely.
  4. Being realistic... Because Woffinden, the GP divas and no Pole of a decent standard will be plying their trade in the 'Premiership'. Lindgren 10.09 Klindt 5.42 Lambert 8.3 Milik 7.94 Harris 9.27 Clegg 3.6 Huckenbeck 5.11 Remaining points limit 0.268 Klindt is on an insane PL average so no brainer. Harris & Lindgren are proven Elite League Performers at most tracks. Lets face it the Poles are gonna hate Rye House! Milik, Clegg & Lambert are the obvious improvers that win the league for the team. I went for Huckenbeck just because of his average as I was 0.08 out of fitting Josh Bates in. Assuming Milik is unavailable. Which seems likely. Lindgren 10.09 Bates 5.46 Lambert 8.3 Harris 9.27 Clegg 3.6 Klindt 5.42 Remaining points limit 7.858 Could I have Ļebedevs on an assessed average of 7.5, if not I'd take Ricky Wells.
  5. Riders from 2015 & 2014 converted: Milik 5.67 7.94 Janowski 8.97 12.56 North 5.91 8.27 Gomolski 5.51 7.71 Zengota 7.79 10.91 Kildemand 7.1 9.94 Musielak 4.53 6.34 Miedzinski 8.21 11.49 Hansen 5.5 7.70 Michelsen 6.02 8.43 Lahti 5.45 7.63 Pr Pawlicki 6.75 9.45 Gustafsson 5.92 8.29 Pi Pawlicki 7.32 10.25
  6. If they are incorrect then they were taken from the BSPA website.
  7. I'm no mathematician, but EL only rider converting to PL * 1.4 averages.. Looks stupid. Is there a limit, of say 11.00, because even Jason Doyle, NKI or Chris Holder on top form cannot average above 12.00. Zagar 7.48 10.472 Fricke 6.94 9.716 Kasprzak 7.91 11.074 Harris 6.62 9.268 Woryna 4.65 6.51 Iversen 9.02 12.628 Batchelor 4.96 6.944 Jonsson 8.45 11.83 Nilsson 6.84 9.576 Bridger 5.94 8.316 Korneliussen 6.04 8.456 Schlien 5.9 8.26 Swiderski 5.2 7.28 Mear 3.65 5.11 Hougaard 6.22 8.708 Wozniak 5.91 8.274 Walasek 5.45 7.63 Ulamek 6.6 9.24 Watt 5.4 7.56 Holder 8.58 12.012 B Pedersen 6.9 9.66 Andersen 7.15 10.01 Kurtz 6.4 8.96 Buczkowski 6.09 8.526 Ellis 5.56 7.784 Doyle 9.78 13.692 Morris 6.89 9.646 Sedgeman 5.69 7.966 Lindgren 7.21 10.094 Thorsell 7.06 9.884 Kylmakorpi 6.68 9.352
  8. Surely Hampel will get a Wilcard spot, if the series think that it requires 4 Poles. In the 3 rounds in 2015 which Hampel competed before getting injured he'd finished 3rd, made a semi and finished 2nd.
  9. Ellis will surely be at Lakeside on that average if it is confirmed, as ridiculous as it is. Are you going to resign Kurtz? What a GP debut that was endangering anyone he got close to... yet finishing last
  10. I'm sure I read a press release a day or 2 ago that made me sure the Ace's would be back next year. I'm sure if Zagar is too expensive you will have riders to fill that void lining up, MJJ said he wished to return to the BEL next year. As the obvious venue for any British hosted FIM events Belle Vue should be prime candidates.
  11. I am certain had Doyle been fit and potentially clinching the World Championship the crowd would have been higher, but it was all over as far as the Gold Medal was concerned. Before the event. Disgraceful from Hancock allowing Holder past, after he had secured the World Title. Fair play to Woffinden for finishing second despite his mate gifting points to his rivals for second. So glad Janowski & Lindgren finished outside the top 8, Lindgren had secured his spot for next year and we don't need Bjerre as a full time GP rider ever again. I would have preferred Iversen & Zagar to finish top 8 but I'll take Lindback & Zagar finishing higher than Janowski. Hampel, Pedersen, Zagar & Sayfutdinov as the permanent Wildcards for 2017. While there was some great racing the track was very inconsistent. Dear god please never allow Brady Kurtz near a world championship for a few years, dreadful yet dangerous. Sad to bid farewell to AJ on the GP scene, always thought he had the potential to be a world champion, but not ruthless enough. I like Bomber but he wont be missed at GP level. Glad both can concentrate on their league racing now. Hancock & Holder should be banned from the first GP of next year in my opinion. It was embarrassing.
  12. You could fit the Purfleet track inside most Polish & Swedish tracks. How is it even mildly representative if you do that? Shall we include the USA & Australia? How on Earth do you factor those in?
  13. Will be 21 in March next year when the next season starts.
  14. I must say I am very surprised the Yorkshire Tigers overcame the Scottish Tigers. Looking at scores alone on http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/16293/glasgow-sheffield-plpo-sf-30pm without attempting analyse Stead would surely have scored more than the 6+1 R/R managed. Would Garrity have scored 8+1 (from 5) Robson managed. Despite that Howarth & Sissis appeared to be the Sheffield match winners. Is there any chance of the injured trio returning for the final?
  15. Woffinden's last average for Wolves before he returned for the playoffs this year was in 2014, less than 2 years ago. I actually think that had Wolves used Kylmäkorpi in the play offs rather than Woffinden it would not have made any difference, except intimating the opponents. What were Woffinden's scores exactly? He was hardly unbeatable during the play-offs.
  16. I assume he lives in the North of the UK, where he is from? From where I live on the outskirts of Wolverhampton without traffic issues I can get to Coventry in just over an hour. It would take at least 3 hours to get to Kings Lynn. I doubt that would be a drive Havelock would endure.
  17. Because Newman is 24 and started riding league speedway in 2007, Ellis is 21 and started riding league speedway in 2012.
  18. Thinking Kennett & King must be 30 by the start of the next season. But a pretty ridiculous statement I admit. Was thinking of Rose & Kerr but then remembered that Garrity, Newman & the Worralls fit into that maybe even Lawson & Wright. It needs to be looked at on an individual basis. With all the talented British riders coming from Motorcross when in their early 20's we need to give them a chance to come to grips with British Speedway League racing. Certainly James Serjeant should not have an EL reserve spot unless he stops jumping the gate every ride! Howarth should not spend time at reserve, any more either.
  19. Ellis is young enough to allow some average reduction, sorry but Newman is 24. GP stars Zmarzlick and Piotr Pawkicki are younger.
  20. Harris, Masters, Thorsell & Clegg should start the Wolves team building process, if they can fit Lindgren in great. Not sure I'd be that bothered about resigning Howarth.
  21. There should be some incentive for young Brits to give the Elite a try, Ellis is a prime example. The fact that it appears an NL club will pay him enough to ignore the PL means that NL club needs to be a PL club! I would scrap the EL Draft system. Every team must field 3 Brits, at least 1 of those must be under 20. However every Brit aged under 30 averaging under 6.5 comes in on half their PL average.
  22. Blue Sky thinking. Milik maybe but on 9.12 a point higher than Lindgren? Janowski I doubt it if he retains his GP spot. Stead, the Sheffield fans are hoping he retires due to injuries, when he has been their main man for a while, I very much doubt THJ would deem these shores worthy of his efforts again.
  23. No I was not wrong. It may have been the Speedway Star 2 weeks ago but it was definitely on the SGP website last week. 10/10: MJJ MULLS OVER UK COMEBACK So that was a week ago on Monday.
  24. If Piraterna are going for that top four it would leave just enough space for Palovaara and two 0.500 riders?
