speedwaysliders 177 Posted May 7, 2016 Just wondered how Lakeside have been allowed to have a "squad system" this year?!!! Dont get me wrong i like the idea ,but clubs with large asset based riders like Poole,surely it would be in there best interests to declare a list of squad riders,or have i lost my marbles and missed something!!!!?

This season EL teams are allowed, in addition to the basic 7 riders, the new foreign 4 point #8 that can replace anyone in the 1-5 at any time, an extra doubling up rider in a shared position and an extra Tier 2 EDR. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heathen chemistry 660 Posted June 12, 2016 if poole wanted a squad system then why have they yet to name a rider at number 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted June 12, 2016 Best wishes to Dennis Jonsson who has broken his neck in Sweden. Get well soon. "Dennis, however, a blessing in disguise, he's full of sensation and movement in the body, except his left foot, but it probably depends on the damage in the knee. Dennis is right now at the hospital Örebro, but waiting to be moved to Uppsala, "writes Masarna on its website. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poole keith 912 Posted June 12, 2016 its not compulsory to have a no 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,659 Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) if poole wanted a squad system then why have they yet to name a rider at number 8? Because they didn't need to at the start of the season as they had no double-uppers in the 1-5. That has now changed and MF has been quoted as saying he has 3 possible targets for a number 8 and saying that he is 'following all 3' to check their early season form before making any decision. Its well known that Woryna - a long time Poole fan - was the first choice for a number 8 but he understandably wanted a guarantee of a minimum number of meetings. So he ended up taking the Coventry offer of a 1-5 team place. I'm sure he's enjoying all the support he's getting from Bees fans???!

heathen chemistry 660 Posted June 12, 2016 maybe he needs to get a move on a sign one before another rider gets pinched from under his nose fyi woryna loves it a cov 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woz01 3,589 Posted June 13, 2016 I thought love was a two-way thing?! Clearly not by some of the Bees 'fans' on here who have wanted rid of him as soon as he was signed!! As you well know it was because of the numbers being 3 points short. If there was another option Bees fans would've suggested that but there isn't. I think he will become a decent rider, scored 10 against Torun yesterday and i think he beat Hancock twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that is the problem with a squad system, many riders will want a guarantee number of meetings or a retainer for signing for a squad if not allowed to ride for another club if offered a meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
