Crazy robin 2,963 Posted November 8, 2016 It's in black and white on the BSPA website! 7.65 It helps an Aussie but what else would we expect from those clowns. No-one mentioned rolling averages before today & it should be from meetings in 2016 & not before. No fault on whoever signs Brady but he should be in on his 2016 Elite League average. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted November 8, 2016 1 2.00 rider would not do much harm to be honest, especially if the other reserve is very strong! Plus they need to learn and their is some very good 2.00 riders coming through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 454 Posted November 8, 2016 Poole allegedly don't want to use him, that's possibly why he won't get a team. Poole don't think he's worth his average, they obviously don't appreciate him. send him to Wolves we will have him all day long only heading one way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted November 8, 2016 7.65 more than fair. And if the No.1 has an off night (C Holder last season) then it would result in the team getting battered. Strength in depth is the way forward with a free scoring reserve. It would depend on who the other 6 riders are 😜 they could easily carry a struggling number 7 and 1 who is having an off night.

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted November 8, 2016 7.65 more than fair. Not going to get into an argument about it but where in the statement did it mention rolling averages?. It didn't & he didn't ride enough Premier League meetings in 2016 to get an average. A great loophole & fair play to Poole for it. Just as much a joke that Klindt rode more Elite League meetings than Premier but they use the Premier average. It's just a sad thing that a young Brit hasn't benefited.

Red Flag 454 Posted November 8, 2016 Can't understand at all why matt has decided against Adam Ellis next year he improved heeps last year and is equally as gd as alot of other riders who have the same averages,he spent the majority of time at no2 last year. Then we will go sign a foreign rider *angry!!!* I hope matt goes down the KK route as he's definitely worth the extra point and much stronger no1. Poole always go down the foreign route 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted November 8, 2016 A hypothetical question I know but what would you Poole fans have gone with if Darcy hadn't had his accident?. The only reason I ask is because I'm surprised so many don't want Chris in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,354 Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I think all of us Poole fans would love Chris to come back but if Chris did we would need 100% commitment and top machinery as we would have a very weak tail. Ill try and come up with a team with Chris riding at No.1 and will post it soon. I think you will find most will have long tails..

Thats correct it was a two year deal, You going to club together with your mates and offer ? I expect Rick Frost is getting fed up with all the buggering about in Speedway.

Jason.C 111 Posted November 8, 2016 Darcy all the way without a shadow of a doubt. Chris hasn't been the same though since his and Darcy's accident which is understandable, but prior to these incidents I always thought Darcy looked the better. His foresight and control of the bike was unrivaled. Great example being the play off semi final 2nd leg vs kings lynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No-one mentioned rolling averages before today & it should be from meetings in 2016 & not before. No fault on whoever signs Brady but he should be in on his 2016 Elite League average. As expected yet another anomaly exploited by a promotion. Brady started the season as a declared EL rider and not a PL rider. He is lucky that he did double up later in the season otherwise he would be saddled with an average that be difficult to get a place with. Still, it's great news the new rules look after an Aussie and potentially penalise a Brit tho eh? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paddy The Rebel 300 Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) If we go with a 2point rider how bout, Andersen 10.01 Holder 7.16 Kurtz 7.65 Batchelor 7.36 Harris 9.21 Newman 6.31 Junior rider 2.00 49.70 I'd prefer KK at no1 though,doubt it eould happen.

Whats missing from this that was in the Bournemouth Echo article is that the Readypower 2 year deal was worth at least £100000 to Poole. If a sponsor of this magnitude cannot be found by Ford then I think this is the reason that Holder Snr will not appear. The Poole team will be made up of assets as I suspect that loan fees will have to go as well, hence no Ellis. Matt Ford has never nurtured British talent (with exception of Newman) and this year his failure to so may just bite him on the backside. We all await with interest this year's Poole lineup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
