Thomson, 3. Iversen, 4. Morris, 5. Lidsey and 7. Pijper Personally think like Lynn to have any chance of scraping fourth they need someone like Throssell in on ideally 4.5 so that they have a super strong reserve all season.

Fozzie4388 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I don't buy that Sheffield will be Successful if they have Chris Holder riding at 5 with the reserves that's a recipe for disaster. Anyone could make the playoffs but more than likely will be Ipswich beating Leicester in the playoff final come October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s continuing the trend started in 2025 though at least last season the champions elect weren’t known until around summertime. 20 minutes ago, Bagpuss said: I prefer Leicester beating Ipswich 😁 Wouldn’t everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's things like that, that rubbed fans and other promoters the wrong way with Sandhu, Ford and Frost. Talk a great game but ultimately, only look after themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted they've still got Kurtz, But he still needs backup from 6 other riders who'll have to put up over 30 Points a night. This time they won't have a No.5 scoring double digits every night according to ITK info. Possibly a weak reserve partnership as well unless a ringer is found @ No.6. You really like getting egg on your face each year with your predictions. You don’t know anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 21 hours ago, szkocjasid said: I agree with @Daniel Smith McDiarmid's average should be 3.69. @arnieg they don't count matches that take place after the play-offs have started, so McDiarmid only rode 5 matches that count, daft rule imo. @Witches1998 I believe that's what they've done. It makes no logical sense to me, that McDiarmid is riding on a converted average from mid-season, rather than his final average converted. It has happened before in the NL, Adam Roynon signed on a 6 (3 point ave doubled) but didn't get enough matches. They kept that average rather than using his final Champ ave doubled the following year. Pretty lazy attitude by the rule makers imo, like they can't be bothered to give a rider the correct average. Why would that fixture not count, it’s still an official fixture. Just because British speedway haven’t bothered updating the website .

Probably to stop riders purposely lowering their averages after the play-offs have been raced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
