Poole can and does produce decent racing, as do most other tracks in the country, but for me at least Lynn is amazing. That said, I'd like to see a SWC round at Somerset, I think that could really be something special as well.

It ws but as he hasnt ridden here for a few years Poole should be able to get him in with a discounted average through special disp.
To replace Kling

Billy Hamill is looking for a comeback, maybe you can tempt Hans Neilsen back on a 3.
I hope its not looking bleak for the Pirates to get a good replacement. Everything will be against them if they cant find a suitable replacement.
And im not sure how many times i can hear "Swindon`s to lose" between now and October.
Blah blah blah
Even if we lose in the play off final, we still will have had a far better and more entertaining year than you bunch at Monmore. Watching Holder and Ward together is something pretty special and I doubt I'll ever see a partnership like it again. Like I said even if we do eventually lose out, I wouldn't swap my place for yours in a million years. You make sure you enjoy Freddie getting worse and Ty Proctor STILL not having a breakthrough year won't you, not to mention Sowka and Aspegren having a go at comedy speedway.

they didnt just use him for that reason although wouldnt suprise me anything ford did with the win at all costs attitude.
Then why did you say they did?
Im not going over the end of may/ all season debate on AM its been done to death.
Yes, it has been done to death, and it came to an end when the Swindon promoter came on here and said that all the talk about the end of May was irrelevant and that Poole were perfectly entitled to use Adrian Miedzinski for as long as they wanted this season. If the Swindon promoter doesn't have an issue with him riding beyond the end of May, then I fail to see how and or why an ipswich fan is getting all hot and bothered about it. Unless of course you've seen all the attacks on Poole, and, without really understanding them have decided to have some fun yourself by sticking the boot in. If you have then sadly you've made yourself look an idiot.
There isnt just 1 reason why Poole are disliked there are numerous and again they have been flogged to death. Its a shame as your club has good support the best two riders and racers in the world really yet time and again your promotion let you down and speedway in general with they way they do things and get away with it. when supporters are on here and cant understand why other speedway fans get annoyed about it then it adds more fuel to the fire, you need to realise what is right and wrong with your club.
Im an Ipswich fan and believe me i loved it when we won the league but we manipulated it all when we had Gollob on a false average with an obviously improving fast Nicholls and Louis and Rickardsson and a premier league number 1 at reserve in Toni Svab. It wasnt done right or for the interests of the sport but by golly we enjoyed winning it. I wish Poole fans were the sam enjoy your success and the riders you have but accept you havent entirely been legit in doing it.
If Poole are genuinely in the wrong I'm the first to stand up and call it. However, the nonsense you've thrown at Poole today is just that, nonsense.

where did i say it was wrong to replace an 8.5 rider with an 8.5 rider? that is within the rules it was the way that AM was signed which is the problem here. Obtaining a 5.5 rider to stop anyone probably using him again and then making sure he stayed long enough to get his new average was the issue and to be fair 99% of this forum do see that!
Whatever are you talking about now?
What makes you think Poole used Adrian Miedzinski in order to make him unusable for anyone else? Adrian Miedzinski only wanted to ride here until May. Matt Ford wanted him to stay for the rest of the year.
You have to deal with facts, you can't just go making stuff up.

Miedzinski was obviously a better rider than 5.57
Irrelevant - that was an average he obtained 5+ years ago
and Pawlicki is obviuosly a better than 6.97 or whatever it is.
Maybe, maybe not. That was an average obtained within that last 12 months, and therefore far more likely to be accurate than Miedzinski's 5.57 figure
Miedzinski did up his average and in my mind Pawlicki is better has more potential and so therefore will do as well if not better.
Supposition
You cant say AM at 8.50 is a 1.5 better rider than Pawlicki thats just rubbish! you cant compare the 2 averages.
Of course you can, they are the current averages for both riders and have been obtained in the recent past. The automatic assumption that Pawlicki WILL UNDOUBTEDLY up his average by 1.5 points is rubbish however.
the only problem with Pawlicki is his availability so in that respect you may be weaker but not on scoring ability!
Supposition
Its a typical Poole thread i.e that they defend the indefensible time after time. Putting in excuses as to why they wont win the league already just in case they dont happen to, when any normal educated supporter can see they will walk it this year. They looking for the excuse that whoever comes in will make them weaker and so therefore will lose the league.
Now you're just repeating the same old anti Poole nonsense you've no doubt read on here before.
It is blatant what they have done bought in someone on a false average to then make sure he doesnt leave until he gets his new average meaning they can effectively replace a 5.5 rider with an 8 point rider!! And that will make them weaker?
Well the whole point of team building is to select riders who will increase there average. If that rider then leaves, nothing illegal or immoral has taken place.
"replacing a 5.5 rider with an 8 point rider" is a foolish thing to say. Adrian Miedzinski is an 8.5 rider as his average shows. Of course Poole should be allowed to replace him as such.
How? Only if they replace with a 5.5 rider which they should have done at the end of May.
Why?
2012 season - the year the elite league was ruined
-
So its hugely debatable if 6.95 is his real ability this season or not.
Agreed. But it's also hugely debatable if 8.47 is his real ability this season, has he ever averaged that anywhere in the world?
If what he said was "Not true" why have you concluded by agreeing with him that someone riding at No.5 will pick up less bonus points than someone at No.3 or 4?
Because the "not true" bit was that Pawlicki's average would automatically increase by riding at number 5 rather than number 3 or 4
-
Exactly
So Riding at number 5 will mean that Shamek will pick up less bonus points so without improving his GSA will increase!Not true
If you ride at #3 or #4 with a similar standard partner and beat 1 opponent, there's a good chance that your team partner will finish ahead of you thus increasing your tally of bonus points.
If you ride at #5 with poor reserves, if you beat one opponet, it's unlikely that your team partner will finish ahead of you.
So the same rider riding at #3 or #4 is likely to pick up more bonus points than if he were at #5
-
If you are going to compare averages then Meidzinski was still classed as 5.57 whilst Shamek was 6.95 from last year.
You cant compare averages from this V last year to prove he is currently better, come on!!
Who isnt to say that Shamek would be more nearer 9 IF he was riding here??
Miedzinski did well, as everyone knew he would. Nothing to suggest that Shamek wont better that.
Of course you can Steve, you're talking nonsense.
What you can't do is start talking about Miedzinski having a 5.57 average from 5 years ago as if it's relevant. Pawlicki's average was gained last year and is a good indicator of his current ability, Miedzinski's average was gained this year and is a good indicator of his current ability - of course you can compare them.
Yes Pawlicki might increase his average, but that's not guaranteed, and for him to improve by a point and a half to Miedzinski's level would be a massive ask.
-
But surely it depends on whether Pawlicki rides with a legal engine or the one he had last year(allegedly) ?
Well given that it might be Poole he's riding for, I'd have thought it was a given that he'd be riding a 750cc engine, with no silencer, and only having to complete 3 laps!

But Miedzinski's poor return BP wise can be explained by him riding at number 5 with poor reserves, whereas Pawlicki's average was attained while riding in the heart of the team with an experienced partner, where bonus points are easier to come by.
-
Averages dont come into this at all cant believe what some people write! Did any Poole fan think AM would only average the 5.5 or whatever it was he had? Everybody knew he was an 8 pointer in disguise. Its irrelevent even if Pawlicki was on a 4 average the potential is there to average far more so to say his average is lower it will weaken Poole is absolute rubbish he is a better rider with far more potential. So bring in Hampel on a 7 or Linback on a 6 and they are worse riders than AM because there average is lower? Get in the real world here!
Kasprzak was the guy they wanted to fit in so please dont tell me you think he would have weakened you as well!
Ha! And you were berating Poole fans for being ignorant earlier.
Adrian Miedzinski's average is 8.47 gained this year.
Przemyslaw Pawlicki's average is 6.95 gained last year.
It's an incontrovertible fact that at the current time Adrian Miedzinski is a better rider than Przemyslaw Pawlicki by more than 1.5 points per meeting and therefore, if Poole draft him in to replace Miedzinski we will be weaker.
-
Speedway fans are interesting.
On one thread we have people freaking out because Ty Proctor rode in place of Dennis Andersson on the basis of his average being 0.2 of a point higher than Andersson's, therefore demonstrating Proctor to be a better rider and giving Poole an unfair advantage. Then, on this thread we have several people completely disregarding the point and a half difference between Miedzinski's and Pawlicki's averages, and claiming that Pawlicki will make Poole stronger.....
-
Sorry but the majority of the Poole fans on here are a complete joke in their knowledge of speedway. Im not saying it has happened or wether or not it will happen but if the Pawlicki brothers come in for AM and Kling/Masters your team will be STRONGER!!!!!!!!!!!! can you read that STRONGER STRONGER STRONGER not weaker as some clowns on here are saying. This is one of the reasons Poole are hated blatent rule bending, stopping assets being used, cheating, oh and add to that some idiotic supporters!! i sincerly hope that Poole do become strong and they have all their riders for the grand final and someone somewhere comes and beats them. Im an Ipswich fan so not worried who wouldnt even mind if it was Kings Lynn!! Imagine if its Lakeside v Poole the whole of the speedway community has Lakeside as their second team this year it would be the whole family v Poole lol

Matt Ford getting loads of publicity out of naming several riders who have supposedly turned Poole down before finally admitting that he had a done deal with Lindback all along?
Good promotion then?

Apparently he's reverting to his assessed 4 point average too

Why? your reward for making the semi's is that you have already scored the points in the heats.
Perhaps you could win a nice carriage clock or something if you come fourth in a semi final? Just a little incentive like...

Watching last night's GP I think there might be something wrong with my TV, not only did it look like Freddie Lindgren won the GP, it also appeared to show him smiling on the podium.

I'd imagine thats the case, you'd think if another UK track wanted it they'd be given the event as a matter of variety and fairness. Personally I'd like to see it at Peterborough or Wolverhampton which in my opinion are the only two EL tracks on a par with Lynn for racing. Sheffield would also be a great venue and it would be nice to think that Somerset and Scunthorpe might develop as stadia so they could hold the event in the future.
I'm sure it was just an oversight on your part, so don't worry too much about it, but you forgot the home of speedway off your list. The one and only Wimborne Road. You're welcome
-
spook, imo the reason to why the likes of Bjarne and Pepe manage to qualify is due to the lack of established opponents. If there would be plenty of GP riders would ride the
qualifiers its would perhaps be less likely that riders like Bjarne, Pepe... would qualify.
Spot on
-
He is in it because he done the qualifers and qualified. He therefore has more right than any of the 4 names today
Bang on

Well all i can say in response is......was i right or wrong? Was the thread rightfully moved?
Yes it was rightfully moved. Did I say it shouldn't be? No. I just like laughing at people who take it upon themselves to police the internet. Real heroes of our time.
The fact you think you've won some kind of victory because it was moved speaks volumes. Anyway chief, don't let me stop you catching those naughty internet offenders, I hear on the grapevine someone somewhere is planning on starting a a thread about golf in the GP section, best get it covered big guy.

So what if they only ride on two out of three leagues?
