3. Davey Watt - 1, 1, 0, 1, 0 = 3 - crap! David Watt @davidwatt24 (16/7/12) Phone working again !!! Landed in luton and my lift hasn't arrived so in a taxi to heathrow !! Need to score some big points tonight !! Needed a taxi on Saturday evening tbh  I presumed he thought his points on Saturday counted towards his EL average. |

Problem is what's the alternative Watt never seems to be out of work and riders moving on just comes with the territory. Until each club has equal financial wealth to afford who they want then the bar is never going to be high enough to stop such average manipulation. Problem is we seem to be in a race to the bottom and rather than upping its game, speedway is just going down the toilet. I know that champs will shout that the EL hasn't got a pot to pee in but instead of trying to do something about it we seem happy to stay at that level. I'd like to see a promoter on the apprentice whinging in front of Alan Sugar about why his product is shite. The ideal scenario (and this would please the fans as they could keep a team together in consecutive years) would be that the champions set the team average for the following year and the rest could build up to that) |

At least if we keep weakening the product then the revenue from the diminishing support might pay for the Premier/National League type overall product we're aiming for. We might not qualify ever again for the SWC but by God we'll be solvent! slightly gone off on a tangent there |

No, you said totally flawed which means draw a line through it whereas flawed means that there's still a chance of some creative thinking around the problem - Words ay, who needs em (or apostrophes)  |

It's totally flawed. How about then looking at the final team average of the title winning teams over the last 10 years and coming up with an average figure which lasts for 5 years when it's recalculated using the 10 year figures once again? Now that's complicated enough for the BSPA to love it and they can adjust the timeframe to give them the figure which'll suit Poole the most  |
