(I think riders might be giving the Lions a thanks but no thanks after not being paid). Wonder if Perks would be interested is our asset after all. Could see Starke being pulled into the fold. THJ would be an intriguing one if he rode like he did against the witches could be a big time scorer but a bit of a risk. Would want to see him have some good equipment. I wonder if a 4 point rider from abroad could be brought in. Nico said he was thinking of after out of UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) FFS. I'd started enjoying Championship Speedway. Now I've got to put up with that bunch of glory hunting southern clueless £&#+ers invading every thread again. I really hope Poole stay in a different division to Birmingham. No, I don't enjoy watching weekly Speedway at Monmore, even if Wolves are in a different division to Poole & their heard of annoying keyboard warriors, don't feel the need to invade every forum thread.

While I'm not entirely convinced this will actually happen , the more teams in our league , the better . But where does this leave the Buster Bundisliga ?

I'm sure the rule states any rider that didn't begin 2019 in a championship side had to use their converted premiership average. Redcar did with Riss and Edinburgh did with Masters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t forget the conversion factor is 1.6 next season which would give Klindt a CL average of 11.89...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,247 Posted October 18, 2019 Klindt has already ruled out riding in the Championship anyway so it’s all irrelevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CountyGround 75 Posted October 18, 2019 If Poole do finish up in the championship (overall less able riders) then please can we have a decent track surface for the riders to apply their skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
