Some of these riders mentioned may have a hard decision to make if Poland insist the polish league and 1 other league rule is in place, take Zac, rides in Poland belle Vue and Poole, one of these will have to go

2nd leg next friday though.

Last year it was after (allowing Workington to sign Craig Cook on 7.99). Currently 10 riders would be above 8 for next year, including Kyle Howarth. 8.00 was chosen last year as that was the top 9 riders being spread across 9 teams. So it could work that way again this year (I've not heard anything either way). Would only mean Poole losing someone (as Klindt is currently unattached). Berwick and Plymouth had no one finish over 8 (after a 2.5% reduction in Scott Nicholls average) Kye Thomson, Leon Flint, Sam Masters, Zack Cook, Richard Lawson, Charles Wright, Nikolai Klindt, Josh Pickering and Jonas Jeppesen. Plus the now retired Kyle Howarth Any brit between 8.00 and 8.20 would go below 8 after a 2.5% reduction (Scott Nicholls and Bomber)

Firstly best of luck to Plymouth, really hope they can come to the tapes in 2027 as we can ill afford to lose any more teams, particularly in the South. However I do have a genuine question, why have they waited so long to start and appeal as they appear to be up against it now with only 3-4 weeks to raise the money by the deadline. Have they only just found out they needed to replace the fence? Only asking as if they’d had the whole season to request donations then I’d have been happy to chip in monthly for example.

It’s on Monday

Baffles me that people keep suggesting every year that Bomber will sign for Poole. The man loves blasting round the fence in the deep dirt, I genuinely think a bit of his soul dies when he turns up to super slick tracks with next to no dirt on them. I reckon Bomber would quit rather than ride on a home track as slick as Wimborne Road every week. Equally spending nearly 8 points signing a rider like Bomber doesn't fit Poole's business model these days. They want better gaters in their team.
