Neil Vatcher mentioned a few snippets. 1. The second starting line has been withdrawn and riders must remain astride their machines whilst ‘gardening’. 2. Rider eligibility for heat 15 is being expanded. 3. Of the six trainee referees who started in 2017 only three are going in to year 2. There are six new trainees starting out in 2018. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought Poole had their own rulebook 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the first point, that riders must remain astride their machines whilst gardening, discriminates against those riders who are not tall enough to to be able to garden without getting off their bikes. Are short people an ethnic group? I'm glad now that we didn't sign Kenneth Bjerre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 704 Posted March 14, 2018 So with the season start less than 2 weeks away and Josh Bates out until at least the end of April with a target of the British Semi final I hear. That means 10 meetings being missed which in my view is far too many to be covered by RR including very important KO cup meetings and with the new race night the club need to win some meetings to keep supporters coming. Who would Lions fans like to come in to replace Josh ? To me the best options seems to be Lasse,Klindt or Starke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me the best options seems to be Lasse,Klindt or Starke I would think it will be either Bjerre or Starke because of the Sheffield connection but my preference would have been Eric Riss but I understand he is fully committed already. Klindt would be ok though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,018 Posted March 18, 2018 Lasse Bjerre or Aaron Summers would be my picks as a temporary replacement for Josh Bates! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
