Poole 2017

Means nothing as Swindon will have the weakest tail end in the Prem with no real 2nd Heat Leader tbh.

Doyle could have 5 starts, but if he has no back up you dont win meetings. Gavan doesn't realise that...

[NOBODY 538]

Yep Kyles could , maybe Brady maybe Bates.

 

but have a look at most teams top 5, 1 and at best possibly 2 may improve their starting average.

 

Those riders who solely rode elite league last season will have to improve hugely to achieve the 1.4 multiple conversion and the top boys converting their premier league averages will also not maintain.

The only riders are those who are awful in the premier (Newman and Bates) who may improve but not if they arent in reserve.

 

Zagar, Fricke, Nicholls, KK, Harris, Pedersen, Iversen, Doyle, AJ, Nilsson, Morris, Thorsell. all rode elite league only and all will see their averages drop.

 

Howarth, Tungate, Josh G, Lawson, Worrall, Kennett, Cook, King, all coming in on last seasons premier average and again will struggle to maintain them.

 

If you can find 5 riders who will up their average (forget 3 pointers) then you will have done very well

correct ,

 

Chris Holder fell out with Matt Ford as has been well documented on this forum by those Poole fans in the know. He doesnt care much for the Poole track either.

 

Points conversion is a nice excuse for him to leave.

 

Hans Andersen as Poole number 1 , racing Doyle 3 times , no chance

 

Why don't you just type "blah blah blah"? Its much quicker and the same as what you post.

Exactly. You just 3-3 races Doyle is in.

I do agree that the average is an excuse on why Chris is leaving, not sure it's got anything to do with the track though.

Matt Ford has NEVER had his own way at any AGM. We've had/have 8-9 other promoters, what do they do, sit in the corner like naughty boys...I think not.. Again you are totally guessing..

so are you as you are not there

No im not guessing mate. Now have you got a Coventry thread to go to ?

[foreverblue 6,096]

correct

 

if Doyle rides for Swindon and Holder , Zagar and Iversen dont ride over here then Doyle should be good for 14 or 15 points every meeting and that is a massive amount.

 

every team , and 90% of riders will drop their average thats a fact.

Maybe he can go to another team to reduce his average!!

As Matt Ford said in the paper because of the new rules, if Holder were to score a 12-point maximum every meeting, effectively we would be giving away half a point in our team-building structure.

Matt goes to the AGM every year.

All I can say it is a good job Gavan does not select the Poole team.

 

Perhaps Chris Louis would like his advice as to The Ipswich line up.☺️

What's more important: wringing every last point to get a team of mercenaries or signing seasoned Poole riders that the fans can get behind. How many one season wonders have Poole signed and dropped?

 

I'd rather support a club that stays loyal to popular riders, even if we don't win the league every year!

But after one month or however many meetings it would be down to around 10 (in this diluted league) and there's possibly 2.5 points to strengthen the bottom end.

 

Actually all the team averages are going to drop somewhat. Two teams at 50 points = 100.

90 points in a meeting ....... you do the maths.

Actually it's an even bigger differential as CMA's are based on 4 rides so only 4/5 of the points of the riders in heat 15 (or anyone who has 5 rides) go into the averages, thus the differential is between the 100 in the team building and 84 in the greensheets.

16 points a meeting off the averages!

you are wrong

[kingbee 510]

No im not guessing mate. Now have you got a Coventry thread to go to ?

I like it on this one thanks no different to when you go on other other threads it's a forum that's what you do

[Starman2006 2,355]

you are wrong

Tell a lie, he didn't go last year, Gordon Pairman did..

The fans get behind whoever is in the team, Holder is a popular rider but Matt Ford has decided to go strength in depth, time will tell if he is right but he hasn't been wrong too often in recent times.
