Mattfordfan 286 Posted February 23, 2018 We should walk the league really shouldn't we guys. Even if we have to use R/R at some point it wouldn't make much of a difference due to the strength in depth we have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted February 23, 2018 Race jackets instead of team Kevlars personally I think the thing that set speedway apart from other motor sports was the race jacket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence why we have laughed so hard the last few seasons. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think you;re wrong there Sidney, Poole have this year assembled an exceptional side built on the back of 'out of date' Averages. If a team can acquire 1 ringer on a low average they are doing well, but to get 3 takes it to another level . All the teams were built to a max of 42.5 , But had Woryna, Schpank and Sundstrom been accredited with upto date figures, their team strength would have been nearer 46 Pts. Many are missing the point here where the advantages compound the differences. After the first set of figures , all the Poole riders, along with all the rest will be accredited with a new average, so any replacements needed will be proportionate to the average of the missing rider. so they will have better replacements whenever the need arise. Every year we have this same problem , and every year they do nothing to stop it. Its so annoying the BSPA cant see further than the end of their big noses.... So sorry Sidney, I cant agree with your views. The league will be a walk in the park for Poole losing only but a few matches, the only hope our sport has, is if another team meets them on a bad day.. Some hope.,,. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some hope.,,. I dont see that at all Webby, Holder will he ever get back to his best ? will he go to places like Wolves and Leicester and be relied on to score 11 plus like Doyle.Woryna a hell of a talent but can he score heavily away? Sundstrom is he any better than Hans? the Pole again will he get his set right for the away trips? alot of IFS. and but''s for me but i will say though if this side clicks it will be a force a really exciting team to watch but i dont fear them.

Everyone in that side Sidney, is capable of upping their average. Brady, Josh and Holder, all seasoned riders capable of winning heats for fun. Linus, Woryna and Schpankiak? are all capable of being heat leaders, averaging 7 plus. and James Shanes is far better than the 2.95 he was given. I see then as runaway leaders . One I things for sure, with the exception of Holder, ( so he says) they can all ride our track with no problems . A few years back I saw Sundstrom come and score 17 pts making everyone else look silly.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot recall the usual hype from S Shovler about this team either recently, unless he has changed his name to Matt Ford Fan or poolebolton, maybe he is concerned about the team lineup.
