That’s along the lines of what I’m thinking. Perhaps Gilkes instead of Kennett and maybe Allen instead of Zischke if we can’t get Zischke

Seems a strange one. But Poole have a history of getting these things right. Of the youngsters that don't get brought back they don't tend to progress as expected (Hagon, Foord, Perry). Makes me wonder if there is another reason for not bringing Cairns back, and 'average doesn't fit' is just an excuse

Good for selling season tickets and to make a team not look like cannon fodder... Which they then invariably become.. "Look at our league, isn't it competitive?".. Whilst many followers of the sport will already know it clearly isn't, and be proven right, usually around the end of May....

100% we’ve seen it so often that their assessed averages go south, very few have maintained it in first season 

Top tier teams are usually the ones with the regular four figure fan base... With some obvious outliers in tier two.. Hence they can afford to change nights and still, hopefully, keep enough people attending for the Speedway to remain at leasf affordable if not profitable. Eastbourne were not one of those regular four figure attendance teams, hence the Dugard family would put tens of thousands in some seasons, and running at weekend would bring in around 700-800, tops, I would think, (after an initial novelty period that may bring a few more)... Moving to a Monday or Thursday, from a weekend would then be a big risk, especially given the 30% and more increase in rider costs...

Woryna has signed for Lejonen in 2027. Will he do 3 League's and the GP's?
