Chris Holder is way to high a massive risk, however good he is. He knows it himself going by his Twitter. Anyway doesn't he ride in Poland and Sweden, sure the new polish rule means if you race in Poland you can only race in your home country and one other place.

Seems to be the way they are going, but a trip back to Australia each week is going to be costly and time consuming :wink: .

Is it three leagues they can ride in or Poland home and one other?

I think that is the latest they have come up with, unless a lot of the top riders refuse to ride with those terms.

The Polish 'rule' for Extraliga riders is a max of 3 leagues - Poland plus a rider's domestic league plus one other - with Polish fixtures including rearranged meetings always taking priority!!

 

For Aussie riders based for the season in UK then the UK leagues would be their 'domestic' league.

answering an early question, Zummerzet run on Fridays because their planning permission says so off nights allowed one Saturday a year and 4 or 6 Tuesdays the planning also limits the height of the lighting poles but no restriction applied to lighting at the golf range next door.

The reason why my mates and myself make a point on our annual trip to the Pairs. To let hotel owners and pub landlords etc that we're there for the speedway. Hopefully they remember that and would support the club in minor planning permissions as they realise it brings money into the area.

I think you will find the golf range also has restrictions as their lights had to be placed into the ground to shine upwards when it opened. When it was realised that the speedway lights were actually higher than the Range structure they were moved onto the roof (after they got flooded during a heavy downpour one day!).

Now Brady's average has been stated at 7.65 the Rebels could replace Zach with Brady and come in at 49.77, providing Garry can prise Brady away from Poole.

Biggest problem might be doubling up (down) riders with the maximum of two rule.

How could he sign a 3 year deal with Leicester when he wasn't even your asset. Surely an asset's parent club has first dibs.

How this?

 

1. Chris Holder - big average but would be one of the best riders, would be disappointed to see him leave UK.

 

2. Charles Wright - loves the club and we love him. One of the two DU riders i would imagine.

 

3. Rohan Tungate - was brilliant last season and also at Lejonen so shouldn't have to DU.

 

4. Jake Allen - was brilliant last season and deserves to be back.

 

5. Kacper Gomolski - was brilliant for Poole when visiting with them at the OTA.

 

6. Bradley Wilson Dean - same as Allen!

 

7. James Shanes/ Zach Wajtknecht - would love Shanes in on a 3.00 think he is in for a good year. Wajtknecht was unlucky with his injury so Garry may keep faith on a 2.00 but I don't think the OTA is for him.

Biggest problem with Holder is that he would probably miss several home meetings due to GP practice. And there would potentially be very few guest options if there are less top riders, and the likes of Harris, Nicholls etc are doubling up and have a Championship fixture that day.

Well you could change it and put Nicholls or Harris in and Todd Kurtz to sharpen up at reserve.

People seem to be confusing a multi-year permit and a multi-year contract.

 

Interestingly Poole have announced their "first" signing, Jack Holder. But last year announced Hans Andersen on a 2 year deal, so clearly 2 year deals are media/PR bollocks!
