Starman2006 2,356 Posted December 2, 2016 A more accurate thread title wouldve been can any team replace an average rider who has an exceptional first 4h4a with what would be seen as 'a ringer' The short answer seems to be yes - although certain checks and balances appear to be in place to prevent wholesale manipulation. Wholesale being the opperative word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,834 Posted December 2, 2016 Agree - but what has not been confirmed anywhere is what averages 'new' or 'unused' riders can come in on after the 42 points kicks in?!. Unless CVS commented on it at your fans forum this week?! wasn't asked and wasn't mentioned. One of the dozen questions I forgot to ask! It would be a like for like replacement,that is what the poster is saying. It should be yea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted December 2, 2016 This topic wouldn't have been started if Klindt had sign for another club. Haters gonna hate..... No, I would have asked the same question if he had signed for Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,839 Posted December 2, 2016 Haha, paranoid much? The speedway world doesn't revolve sround Poole you know, there are plenty of us who dont give a monkeys about your club. To answer the initial question, there have to be safeguards against this kind of thing happening, whichever club it is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted December 2, 2016 Vaculik would not want to ride here and if he did it would be 7.50 x 1.4 so wouldn't be 8.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,913 Posted December 2, 2016 This topic wouldn't have been started if Klindt had sign for another club. Haters gonna hate..... I'd agree with that. Damn right stupid, as it's relevant to just about any club or any rider who achieves an 8.00 average or more, so I'm failing to see the point of the first post.

Fourentee 988 Posted December 2, 2016 I'd agree with that. Damn right stupid, as it's relevant to just about any club or any rider who achieves an 8.00 average or more, so I'm failing to see the point of the first post. I would imagine it's based on two premises: One, that Klindt is widely regarded as the rider with the best bargain average for 2017; two, that Matt Ford (with far-reaching contacts and asset base) has shown himself willing to make mid-season changes to improve the team. Put those together and speculation will naturally start. Not every post is made from a standpoint of being rabidly anti-Poole, you know. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted December 2, 2016 This topic wouldn't have been started if Klindt had sign for another club. Haters gonna hate..... Tbf Steve as soon as the 50 point limit was announced I said that they should say any re declaration must be within the newpoints limit I. E. Remove the like for like replacement rule Take it as a compliment that a poole rider is being used as an example as it means 1. He is an excellent signing (many pointed out as soon as the averages were announced that Klindt was the stand out bargain) 2. Ford is one of the few astute enough to make such changes. Vaculik would not want to ride here and if he did it would be 7.50 x 1.4 so wouldn't be 8.00where is it confirmed what a foreign rider comes in on? It was assumed by many Andersen should be a 7 but he's at Swindon on a 5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted December 2, 2016 Vaculik would come in on 9.80. And for once surely this is a good thing that riders are still interested in the UK. Lets all hate Poole because i tell you one thing when Poole have top riders so do other teams. We have Holder, Cov got KK last season, it filters down and this is only a good thing surely for fans all around the country. Yes, other teams have the same but Poole have the most top riders related to the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,660 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) KK would still have been at Coventry in 2017 if they'd offered him anything like a decent contract!!!! Edited December 2, 2016 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
