I’m quite sure that if I’d been sacked I’d be trying to spin it in my favour also. I’m not really having a go at Poole or Bowes. It’s the grey or completely missing areas in the rules. It’s crackers that any team can just boot a rider, legitimately or not and rely on much better guests. Two weeks of R/R then employ someone regardless. There’s loads of riders who would jump at an opportunity like that.

Well within the official rules as you well know @lewy 😄 but pilots have managed to keep that underperforming / injured rider on a 5 point average when his true average is just over 3 points, so a decent guest can be used, until another rider takes up the £s offered to ride in lots of end of season fixtures, my guess could be slater lightcap, but not until mid August so he won't get a true average

British final 15th August
Neila replied to Neila's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Not a regular rider in Britain, the top 8 averages from last season qualify to be seeded to the final, the other 16 ride in a semi final, so that is the reason Cooper Rushen got a wildcard entry, as he did not have an average as only turned 16 this year - Today

No return for Riss according to the British Speedway weekly round up. Kennett looking forward to seeing out his season at Oxford.

Ok, we will have to go along with that. I feel like it may have been on FB (will take 10 years to trawl back over Poole fans group on there to check!) or possibly in Bournemouth Echo but wont let me go back that far in articles to the winter. I definitely read it somewhere but not sure i would put that much stock into what Clive says unless it was the answer i wanted i guess 😂

Foxes v Stars, July 27th

I didn't realise Einar was only with the Stars for a couple of seasons I could swear we suffered him for far longer than that, as an aside what happened to Adi Stevens in the end he was hyped as a new british talent like the Poole turbo teens but I think being in a super weak team crushed his confidence did he retire young or move on from Lynn and achieve anything of note ? -

Agreed Bald Bloke I didn't think the team looked to bad pre-season but as you say just seems to fall apart when season starts for us every time. My fave example was when we went from truly woeful in the 80's to getting King, Peterson, Knight, Davis, Johanson, Davies & Stephens (who big things were hoped for) King, Peterson & Knight in 1988 had all been nigh on unbeatable round Lynn prior to signing, first meeting the best crowd in years packed the place out but a third of the season in we were back to terrible and crowds drifted off and the powerhouse riders looked bang average.
