Thanks, probably!

Isn't everyone with the points limit going down! Although you could argue that Brum are stronger.

Just a few things to add: 1. I thought Adam did well at Poole last season when down with Scunny and also didn't he spanner for DK in 2021 or am I thinking of someone else? If so he would have seen the track a lot during that time. Also at Poole with BSN quite a few times last season too. 2. You make it sound like Nathan got zero every home meeting. I swear he 5-1'd the Glasgow pair at Poole and one of them was Paul Starke guesting I believe! I think there were quite a few other occasions he got points too! 3. Don't you remember Jack Thomas riding for Brum at Poole in 2021? It was when the meeting was stopped for an hour cos of the crater on track. Think he got 9 at reserve, he was one of the few attacking the track and not just coasting round!

You definitely have a thing about riders ages!

Yawn! Wake me up when the final rider is announced! Why are Brum, Plymouth and Poole taking so long?! Are they arguing over the same rider?

Most promoters go for riders who are going to up their averages. Ben's will go up more than Batch's would. Ben will also have more match fitness than Batch as Batch doesn't even have a Champ place!

And before Oxford came back, saw a couple regularly attend Poole in 2021.

The ignore button no good if people quote him though!

Pretty sure no one said that! They may have said there isn't 'much' difference. With the points limit lower and some slightly bigger names coming back in the Prem, next season will have a bigger difference than the one just gone.

Some promoters don't start announcing til the whole team is signed as if plans don't work out, you may need to change other riders. Or maybe their signings are connected to Ipswich so have to wait for them?

You are wrong! While I agree 'die hard fans' (no, not the film) will buy ST no matter the team. Some fans who still go every week will want a good team to part with their money. With the cost of living crisis even some die hards will wait for team announcements before deciding.

They were a Poole sponsor? Huh, didn't even notice!

You definitely have to have patience of a saint!

Trouble is it was in a reply to two posts really. I started it off by saying if Poole went Prem in 2024 he'd be first on teamsheet and Hodgy said about the Champ in 2024. Skidder was just saying that he would only ride for Poole if we were in the Prem not Champ, not that he wouldn't ride for anyone else in the Prem. That is how I understood it anyway. Obviously I could be wrong!

Not sure how that works when he has ridden for KL.

Might have to change it to 'grandad's army' though

Going by SM maybe he is getting into a Danish team?

Tell someone who cares.

Oh interesting. I assumed it was going to be an individual.

Similar average to Dan Thompson though. Everyone seeming to go for high and low averaged riders, rather than middle.

I'd say it hurt Glasgow more if we don't let them come down in July, considering they have two Dane's!

How many miles is it from Poole to up North and I seem to remember the Berwick and Edinburgh away meetings being streamed on BSN, so prob affected some of the numbers I don't recall many Glasgow or Berwick fans at Poole. Edinburgh fans seem to attend in numbers though.

Yeah, Bailey paying for having a high home average I think! If it not Roynon then we are back to Ablitt and would be 1.5 points under.

I thought we were going to get stuffed last night tbf! lol

Yes, they were weren't they? Now just need to bring that form to the league!
