STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted November 26, 2016 Because he is the best value rider in the league and Poole have the deepest pockets? IF Klindt does sign I would not be surprised if Matt Ford had an agreement in principal with the guy even before the promoters meeting took place. How ?? I am sure that the new proposals to revolutionise British Speedway wld have been put fwd to Promoters well before the AGM as would the discussions re teams moving up. There is no way these guys would have turned up cold and unprepared for the discussions ahead. I am sure that Matt would also have been aware that most of the have not's (not so financially secure clubs) would have been pushing for the new rules to reduce costs meaning on a vote he was always going to be outvoted. So we can assume Matt would have known well in advance that the new 50 point rule with EL rides av x 1.4 and Prem averages would be used for team building. Armed with this we as Joe Public were aware from the moment it was all announced that N.Klindt with 5.42 PL av and a new 8.90 EL (now Prem) av stood out like a beacon in team building terms. A whole 3.48 point swing and a potential killer signing be it at reserve or otherwise. Would not surprise me if the astute and quick thinking Matt already had an agreement in principal to bring him to Poole on the understanding that it was subject to the new rules being voted on at the AGM. That's my initial thought but then I thought - what about his Danish Club commitments as he has signed a deal as also captain for his team. Also race Wed night. Not so stupid as Matt can easily agree to let him do plenty of Danish matches. Why ?? Danish season in 2016 only started 4th May some 5/6 weeks after UK starts. Esbjerg only started on 11th May. Bearing in mind Matt plans to start him at reserve on his crazy low 5.42 Prem av he will quickly build up his av and will no doubt be out of the reserve berth by May. Not all bad news as the chances are that Messrs Newman/J.Holder or B.Kurtz will jump in to replace him. I am sure any club in Prem would give their right arm to have any one of the 4 as a reserve in the new format. This now means that Mr Klindt will have an average (probably) nearer a heat leader than reserve (when the new GSA are done after the new riders av come out in APR). I assume on this basis Matt Ford will then be able to employ a guest with a much higher av based on Klindt's new much higher av or at worse maybe have the opportunity at worse to have RR come in based on having a bigger number of riders available to fill the hole. Would not surprise me one little bit if our brilliant promoter has pulled a rabbit out of the hat and done the deal long before others even digested what the new rules meant. For sure nearly every Prem clubs forum mentioned Klindt as the man to have as soon as the news on the new points system was announced. If we as fans saw the hole then I am sure that Matt, who was streets ahead of us fans in having advanced info on it, would have already been doing his sums and maybe already agreed the deal. Of course all of this only my opinion and IF Klindt signs. If he does then I hope Matt did do the deal early and ahead of what many other promoters would like to have done. This is what sets him out as ahead of the rest in my opinion. Again all subject to IF Klindt signs ;-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Beevers 207 Posted November 26, 2016 Because he is the best value rider in the league and Poole have the deepest pockets? But he is not a Poole asset nor would riding Wedensdays be any good to ride for a club if you are riding in the Danish League. I still think it will be Todd Kurtz for brotherly and Aussie team spirit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beckettlion 195 Posted November 27, 2016 Klindt had a poll on his twitter a while ago saying 'where will I ride in the uk in 2017?:' His options (In order) were Swindon Robins, Leicester Lions, Wolverhampton Wolves and Other... That was suggestive to me that he thought they were his three most likely destinations for next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was suggestive to me that he thought they were his three most likely destinations for next season. He also said this is #sillyseason. Another point with Matt talking about KK maybe being top of averages due to Doyle injury. He did not bring up Holder which might suggest that he is not riding in UK.

Maybe you should try posting his availability on the NL team building thread. *since I can't type wh0r3 Edited November 28, 2016 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just love how you guys love coming to Poole forum then get upset with us. Yes. i admit that some things people do on other forums are not great. Anyway back to Speedway. Will J.Holder, Kurtz and Newman end up at Championship clubs. With Peterborough and Ipswich looking most likely place to end up for the riders??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
