Buster owns his own stadium and takes all the income. Poole can only rent theirs and get no income from food/beverage, car parking etc but have all the usual meeting costs so have to run on a tighter budget, which is why the Fords work so hard on sponsorship and attracting decent crowds.

Got to be better option than Paco given the amount of contacts Poole have.

Oxford signed Francis Gusts in 2025 and he was given an assessed 4.50 average when competing in the Polish 2nd Tier. Kim Nilsson rode in the Polish 3rd Tier last season (National League) and he doesn't meet the GP criteria in the rules, Also nothing in the rules about being the National Champion of your Country. Kim's last average is also irrelevant because it was 9/10 Years ago. Unless other Clubs want to be petty by demanding the rule book to be re-written just to block Kim Nilsson from competing in Britain then he'd meet the 4.50 criteria per the current rules.

Doyle 8.62 Riss 5.05 King 7.17 Nilsson Bewley 8.56 Cairns 3.00 Foord RS Pretty sure this is the team that is/will be declared. There’s 4.6 left to fit in Nilsson. Either the club also believe he’s 4.50 going by the current regulations, or Coleman didn’t make a mistake in his recent interview and he’s playing by his own rules and building to 40 whilst everyone else is building to 37 😁

We potentially lost quality as we made it unaffordable for scores of riders who couldn't make it pay. I believe it was Dean Machine who pointed out the staggering numbers of in particular British riders lost to the sport in the last few years. Why do we keep going for quality in a vained attempt to keep a dwindling fan base.

Think your number 2 needs to be a 4.00 rider and hope they improve,that top4 will win plenty of meetings,you don’t need your reserves to be good at the start of season it’s the end that they need to be.

Same here,but I think Castagna is not at Edinburgh so will be interesting to see where he ends up as he’s definitely better than his average.

In charge of what? Coleman is in charge of Ipswich and nothing else. He’s not trying to get around anything and people who have used the word “loophole” on here clearly have no idea what that actual word means. The regulations for assessing averages are there for all to see, its black and white., no grey. The only thing we don’t currently know, is whether those regulations have been altered for 2027.

Unless you have a Rushen/Cairns starting on a 2pt average, going with 2 normal 2 pointers will not get you anywhere, Surely if you have 2 top heat leaders already, the need for another is not there, build to get an at least half decent reserve.

They used his latest Rzeszów average at the time from poland league 2 of 1.919 per race (x4 = 7.676) Falls into the 6.00 bracket: "Polish league 1 (Metalkas 2) with a published average of 6.00 or above" Kvech in 2024 for Lynn wasnt a GP 8 even though he was in the series. First GP year so they used his polish league conversion in same way By the 2026 rules hes a 4.50 but its still a guess till they publish 2027 rule book

I look forward to seeing where he ends up !

"In the interests of Speedway"...

When oxford brought back kildermand. He was given a 6 point average. Whats the difference. Is it just coleman now in charge and doing what he wants??

His last official average is irrelevant. Long since expired. Being a GP rider is also irrelevant bizarrely as per the current regulations. “Subject to BSPL approval” Have to wait and see.

Think we’ve been on the same page about this in the past haven’t we Mike! All well and good people saying we need more teams and ideally we do, but there just isn’t enough quality to stretch past more teams than we already have!

His last official average in UK was from almost 10 years ago now. Based on the assessed average chart in rule book stuff like Swedish champ doesnt come into it. Gp rider does but only if 2 consecutive seasons in last 5 which he hasn't been. The rules say 4.50 so we will have to wait and see Doesn't seem right but thats how the rules read. Only way otherwise is if the rule book has changed

Based on his last official average. Current swedish champion and GP rider. There is no way he will be given a 4.5 average

Walter Mitty?

The Tallest Dwarf is the The Premiership...

Which riders do you work with?

And who would actually ride for them?.. They'd have seven U21's..... Well, six and Simon Lambert ..

Would prefer McDiarmid over Packo

Lawson Rushen Castangne Harrison Cairns Kennet Slater Fairly confident
