Only until Becker is fit though? As Becker is a lot better.

This has Doyle's name on it!

Promoters will be worried about home track advantage being reduced. Poole have always had practice laps after the parade. Actually only time they might not is dodgy weather.

I was quite close with my prediction. Rory did well, definitely not rusty!

And as usual everyone interprets rules differently and that is the problem.

Think you still allowed a guest (considering meeting is tomorrow! - signings take longer than 24 hrs to go through anyway) but maybe not up to Luke's average.

Also Flint crashed during practice laps at Redcar. But he has continued although he only has 1 point so far, so struggling a bit with an injury?

You will have to distract your friends then

Yeah, I wouldn't bother explaining it! They prob enjoy it more if they don't know what is happening

Redcar by 14. But if Berwick can keep it to 8ish, will make the second leg interesting!

Hans counts as Champ standard though as he did ride in it last season. Not like he is Bewley or Zagar etc who wouldn't be able to without a ridiculous average!

Looking at averages on confirmed signings thread, I would put Josh at 2 (esp at Wolves). KK at 5 be better (as he has ridden for Rye House in the past!) Or even PT. I am quite shocked Josh's average is that low! Was going to say Edwards will be okay around there as he rode for Eastbourne, but I remember David Norris saying how different Wolves and Eastbourne are. The amount of times I have been to both tracks, I should know that anyway! I will go for 47-43 to Wolves (if Zach outscores Edwards - which he should!)

First home meeting of the season is the one you are most likely to lose.

First home meeting of the season and it is already a must win

Wettest March since 1981 apparently, so just unlucky. Dry all next week

Interesting! Did they give a reason for it? With the younger riders lower down in the order they will have to be really up for it!

Getting that way with the changes though

Could almost change it to champ riders championship.

Hmm, interesting having press day on 1st April! Is it a joke, is it not a joke??! But at least they didn't call it launch day

Yeah, just need to be the form team.

Yes, that is true! Although some clubs will base their team around one rider. Poole did it with BK in the Prem. Wolves with Sam Masters and Swindon would do it with Leigh Adams and later on Jason Doyle.

No other Champ fixtures on 10th May, so should get a good team together

Steve Worrall says he wants to stay at Poole until he retires (do well to keep the stadium that long tbh!) So as long as he stays another 7 years then all good

Be interesting to see Salty's answer to this as I remember it being called off not not why! I would assume officially it would have been a dodgy forecast? I think Poole had to get Lakeside's permission though. Furthest for me was Birmingham but was only a riders champ meeting so not the end of the world. Been quite lucky as been to a fair few meetings that prob should have been called off lol. Would never go ahead now. The one I most remember would have been at Coventry for 2003 KOC Final. Was prob wetter than the sea!

Prob cos not many riders stay at one club for 10 years anymore.
