Gutted for Taylor Poole, he is a great kid and I think if stayed injury free this year then he could easily achieve the required average to keep rider in UK, hope he keeps his chin up and next winter he can do well in state championship so he can return in 2016 and hopefully be back at Sheffield.

 

As for his replacement I am unsure if Compton wants to return after that crash even though he was slowly getting back to his best at the time of crash so if he fancies it then great but if not maybe Franc would be a good shout, good home and away !

Adam Ellis

 

Then him be missing every Friday Night away meeting because it clashes with Lakeside's Fixtures? Pointless signing that's why no one in the PL has signed him already.

Gutted for Taylor, but given his average and the rules its not unexpected. You would expect that a fit Andre would be the person who is more than able to fill the void, but is he fit? Wouldn't mind seeing Pepe back in the team, last time he rode for us I feel that he was harshly treated because he came into the team as a number one, something he clearly wasn't when you look at his average, as a second string / third heat leader he is more than capable. The only draw back with Pepe is availability, he missed a lot of meetings because of continental commitments

Proctor should be OK as he averaged 4+ in the EL last season and one of the criteria is to average 4 in the EL.

 

As for you argument for him getting a work permit, the counter argument would be that while Taylor is here doing a job Andre Compton or some other Brit could do he is putting them in the dole queue. He's not really adding anything to British Speedway. Would you be happy if they let him in to work in McDonalds or stack shelves for Tesco when there are 1000's of Brits out of work?

No Taylor for Tigers this season, gutted :(

Have to agree gutted but not surprised.

 

Looks like the Promotion were hoping that they could appeal on Taylor's behalf that due to injury he was unable to make the State Championship.

 

But looks like the powers that be are sticking rigidly to the rules.
