I have to agree it was high, but still had 800 plus come through the gates most weeks.

It will be interesting to see what entrance prices are set by Kent now they are running two teams. One would expect the loyal following to go with the Championship side meaning the entrance price for the NDL team will need to fall. But it remains to be seen I guess.

 

P.S. it wasn't my intention to hijack the Poole thread with Kent discussion. :oops:

Talking to one of the Aussies in the championship, I would say that is definitely what the club I waiting for. Who performs the best out the 'group' will get a contract.

Looking at the 4 round Aussie Champs there is realistically only 2 riders to choose from. The others are either Prem riders or Holder Snr. 

Of the remaining there is only Keleher (may or may not be ok but at 26 having returned to the sport thre would be reservations and he has mainly been beating inferior level riders). Medsen who I think is not as good as Keleher and Morrison who arguably is not good enough period. The only other would be Gilmore but disappointingly he was only named as one of 3 reserves over the 4 meetings. He has been injured and may well be focusing on the single meeting Aussie U21 title which is only one meeting and has to overcome Lidsey going for his third title. Gilmore having signed in POL for Leszno nursery club for the next 2 years would be my choice IF he were available to come over at 19.

The obvious one has to be Keleher who has openly stated on social media he is ready for UK.

Poole have one big problem with this in that if he (or another Aussie) came in on 4 it only leaves 4.87 which is virtually nothing left for a decent rider, meaning almost certainly we have to go down the N/L rider route (or what is available) meaning a long tail for the team which could cost them.

I just wish they could have convinced Lasse Bjerre to have signed on what looks like a false low AV as he has been a 7 to 8.5 rider in the 6 seasons prior to last season.

Zane Keleher a much-better bet than Zaine Kennedy.

How can that be judged? Kennedy has spent a year here and did ok? Kehler is older and never ridden here? so why is he a much better bet?
