Hmmmm .... think you’ll find Poole were supporting every other club until they signed their latest round of ringers! Edited August 4, 2018 by DC2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, we have no ringers just 7 good riders performing as a team with great team spirit and the manager isn't moaning about his riders under performing. We have made only two unforced changes.

ouch 1,191 Posted August 4, 2018 It would have been 7.26 if he had signed at the start of the year for a PL club. He signed part way through the season so he then used his converted CL average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He signed part way through the season so he then used his converted CL average. But there are so many discrepancies on averages.You have Toft and Nielsen sign part way through the season but come in on their previous Premier averages.Although they hadn't gained a new average in the Champioship when they signed in the PL,so this could be used as an excuse.But then you have NBJ who too hadn't gained a new average in the Championship when signed for Rye yet they don't give him his old PL average instead they convert his CL average. The wonderful world of BSPA averages 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted August 5, 2018 Yes, it’s been particularly poor this year. I’ve emailed them about averages but had no response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therefused 818 Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Turns out the Lynn game plan worked perfectly for this meeting. Didn’t bother putting the effort in on the motocross track as we knew we were always going to finish above Poole. Led them into a false sense of security and then smashed them last night. It’s clear Lynn were never trying for this one, we never wanted to win it. Edited August 30, 2018 by therefused 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but taking last night as the 'return' fixture that would give Poole the edge on aggregate. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starboy118 237 Posted August 30, 2018 I still have a big grin on my face after last night's meeting. Poole had their arses whopped. King's Lynn dished out one hell of a beating. (Amazing what you can do with a bit of copying and pasting!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise Poole handed out a much bigger arse whopping to Kings Lynn and could have had 65 but for a fall and ef. We would still have won on aggregate.

We would still have won on aggregate. Agree Steve but at the moment you just don't know which Poole team will turn up. Cannot remember so much inconsistency in so many top class riders incl Jakobsen. My take on it is that with last night not being important they are keeping their GSA's low with a view to next season being at Poole. Def the case with Kurtz/Wory/Jak. I think if they keep their current GSA's (as per Poole website rider stats after last night) they will be good for 2019 plus gives Matt plenty of upside in team building. Maybe also with one or even both Holders back ?? Strength in depth and not one anywhere near 8 points GSA. Could also be important if there are changes planned for the League structure and if they are going to implement say a rule to incorporate at least 1 if not 2 UK N/L youngsters per team. After Jon Cook leaked a comment about the BSPA's exciting plans for 2019. We shall see. The point being that Matt Ford probably already knows what moves are being discussed in respect of 2019 already and may be planning accordingly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The really sensible ones know it is sometimes foolish to rely on what appears to be the plan in August being the one agreed in November, like FNR Monday and Thursday and only one over 8. They have plans B,C etc in the hope that they will cover the last minute fag packet proposals that are put forward and agreed.
