That is good it cannot happen again and shows that it should not have been allowed to happen before, well done to Belle Vue on exploiting the loophole.

Disagree Newman and Roynon will be fine. As a pair they should beat most other reserve pairings and both will be excellent at home especially Newman.

I think that Thomas has a much better attitude and in my opinion would be better than Rowe, Poole must have thought that or they would have picked Rowe in the first place. I would also say Kemp has more ability but his attitude has cost him a team place.

Anders Rowe is a poor signing, on the website it claims he is as good as Jack Thomas!!! He has ability, there is no doubt but he has nowhere near the potential of Jack Thomas.

No very high but if he gets to grips with the home track he will do ok, he used to be good at Leicester but his brother is definitely better. Strange choice may be a change later in the season if he underperformed.

Are you saying we are going to use guests until the end of May, don't see how that would be of benefit to us.

Guests are a part of the sport, like when Poole played Kings Lynn in the final when Both teams had guests.

He didn't ride just in the playoffs. I believe he came in early August.

We all know his average doesn't reflect his current ability, he was always going to perform better than Fricke. It was for a season ending injury so fair enough as it's within the rules but it just seems wrong to bring in a rider just for the playoffs.

Yes true and always seems to go well at Poole but that would be two changes

Oh good that's a relief, rather they try to tempt Aaron Summers back.

I agree Lisa and I think a double change would be wrong,putting a rider out of work and nowhere to go,plus I can't stand Batch, never wanted him in my team and still don't. Also if we got Batch and Ablitt it would mean Kyle out of work who I was really pleased to see back at Poole. It would be awful to put a rider out of work at this stage especially one who has Poole in his blood and someone who no doubt had other offers. It is wrong to even be considered in my view.

No idea I wouldn't have thought being based in Poland being a problem.

Well that would work but surely if he could have ridden for Poole they would have signed in the first place.

Yes that is true, he had one great meeting at Poole when he was a reserve apart from that not too impressive although I think he rode at 5 sometimes which would have been tough, he was very good at Leicester but he has done a lot of laps there. I doubt his scores in the later stages of last season were much different to Kemp and he wouldn't have Kemp's attitude so I think after some laps at Poole with the guidance of the more experienced riders and Middlo he would do well. It looks like a straight choice between Kemp and Dan Thompson to me.

I would say Dan is a better option, he has more potential in my opinion. Bit strange he hasn't been able to get a ride in the Championship.

Won a heat in the Australian championship, wow must be a superstar!!

There are usually seats available you just have to find them.

Just as well you don't do plans!

Might put bums on seats but it wouldn't win us many meetings.

Exactly so why would any team consider that.

What average would that be?

I thought he was coming in on a 4 point average for Ipswich obviously got that wrong but surely the assessment has to be higher for the championship

In that case he should give every British club a 1 finger salute then as nobody in this country seems to want him. I would think he would jump at the chance to ride for any club.

I think I would too as long as his attitude changes. He has the ability, there is no doubt.
