Morley's been away from the second tier for a couple of years now as well. Two lots of 8% (and a British reduction, if that's still a thing?) would have left him well under a four point average. Would have made him quite a desirable option I'd imagine, if people had known the rule was only applied to the top two leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapewrecker Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago This side don’t bode well for honours. I can see changes are going to be needed very soon once a new set of average are released. Hope I’m proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it all doesn’t fit under 40 if you apply the correct discounts. So very unsure how this team has actually been made. So I reckon it will be 10.5% off Ablitt average with both discounts applying so he would start the season on a 4.46/4.47 average. Meaning that he will start just below Lambert who has a 4.48 average I think. Edited 5 hours ago by Paddy The Rebel Averages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in the grand scheme of things is ridiculous really, for a guy who still rode NDL/NDT an was offered two team spots at the start of the season and was going to sign for scunny mid season till he got injured. Robs ball his rules. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not a huge difference but it is different. Maybe someone with a better grasp of the rules could explain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone with a better grasp of the rules may explain why it SHOULDN'T happen!!!... The official answer of course is that... "This is UK Speedway"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted 41 minutes ago Report Share Posted 41 minutes ago So let me just check this so i can pretend to follow along..... 2024 Ablitt finished season on 5.04 less 2.5% reduction..... 2025 Ablitt didn't ride "professional league" still gets 2.5% reduction 2026 Ablitt can "apply" for an additional 8% reduction In my tiny mind he shouldn't get the 2.5% at the end of 2025 simply because he didn't participate and then be able to claim an additional 8% for......not participating...... There has to be a point where the actions of a few are considered to be bringing the sport into disrepute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
