Col 854 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Jonsson, Kennett, Lawson, Nicholls, Nilsson. How does that do average wise? Get Bridger to get a PL average (12 meetings?) then sub him in as an ELDR, Poole would do it. 2. Davey Watt=5.40 Good riddance to that tripe don't bring him back Edited October 6, 2016 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Vega 135 Posted October 7, 2016 Yeah we dont want Watty back. He should just ride PL now for the last couple of years of his career. Nicholls would be fine for a year. We need riders who are good away from home thats been our problem for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Beevers 207 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Where are all the Lakeside fans on this forum? 2 pages worth of talk so far and you have to add on another 50 to where Poole 2017 is at the moment. Ok I will add some input on what I think Lakeside should be doing. First riders they should sign are Adam Ellis and Paul Starke. Both were magnificent when Poole registered their only defeat and will give Lakeside good away options also if they swap them at 2 and 6. Ellis is an asset and doubt Leicester will ride Elite League. Than obviously Andreas Jonsson and possible Edward Kennett being the spine of the team so it may look something like: 1) A Jonsson 2) A Ellis 3) E Kennett 4) Swiderski/Schlein? 5) R Lawson 6) P Starke 7) J Auty? Looks solid enough but perhaps unlikely to be the team and maybe Lakeside will want to use last years No 8 Dennis Jonsson was it? Another question is will Lewis Bridger be there instead of Ellis or someone else? Edited October 26, 2016 by Joe Beevers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted October 26, 2016 Much will depend upon the structure of teams, points limits & can double uppers continue? If not then i suspect no Kennett in the EL next season. Asset or not i can't see Ellis leaving Poole Ditto Starke & Somerset who are also a Friday night track Lawson is a must on his average. Strong rumours linking Nicholls & Lakeside? At a guess Jonsson - 8.45 Lawson - 5.74 Nilson - 6.88 Bech - 6.26 Nicholls - 6.59 Branford - 3.00 Morley - 3.00 Total 39.92 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted October 26, 2016 Dennis Jonsson has retired after nasty back injuries, Ellis wants to stay at Poole. Who is Dennis Jonsson? If you mean Andreas, I'd be very surprised if he has retired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted October 26, 2016 Who is Dennis Jonsson? If you mean Andreas, I'd be very surprised if he has retired He was Lakeside's No. 9 (never used) - suffered a severe injury mid/late season and, I believe, may well have retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted October 26, 2016 More fool them then! To be fair we've always signed who were at the time 'number ones' on a lower average which gave us points to play with. Certainly wouldn't say no to AJ for 2017! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Beevers 207 Posted October 26, 2016 Dennis Jonsson has retired after nasty back injuries, Ellis wants to stay at Poole. Sad to hear about Dennis Jonsson. I know he signed at the start of the year but hadn't heard anything since. Be interesting to see if Nicholls does go to Lakeside and I completely forgot Kim Nilsson who could be an improver on his average. So, Jonsson, Nilsson and Nicholls the spine with whoever fits in I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be interesting to see if Nicholls does go to Lakeside and I completely forgot Kim Nilsson who could be an improver on his average. So, Jonsson, Nilsson and Nicholls the spine with whoever fits in I suppose. The most important name to get on the books, as far as I am concerned will be Kelvin Tatum. After that Kim Nilsson is probably the only one nailed on. After that it depends on how the league is structured, what happens about doubling up and how the EDR is arranged. No point in speculating until that is known. One rider may be moving South, another may possibly be moving North, one of the EDR's is dead keen to stay, and I suspect the other one may retire. Lewis Bridger will be on a bargain average if he gets a PL place and benefits from more regular racing, even more so if he gets rid of the Jawa and goes back to a GM, but that seems unlikely on his present sponsorship deal. Not sure what I think about Scott coming. I like him a lot and he is always very sociable. If he rode every or nearly every meeting as he did in the play off semi final he would be a great signing but he has guested quite a lot for Lakesside with good bad and average performances in roughly equal measure.

June01 270 Posted October 26, 2016 I'd very much like to see Frederik Jakobsen given a go. He's a great little prospect and has stated recently he's looking for an EL club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
