Only Morris can answer that one.

Oh good, well done, top marks!!

Surely it would be crazy to have Hans over Richie.

At the time I thought it was an appalling way to act, I decided that night the I didn't want Batchelor in my team ever again so I am praying we have done the right thing and not asked him back. After his horrific crash at Coventry I forgive Chris Holder anything.

I don't believe that, I suspect all teams are complete just not announced yet.

I have no idea how the Dream Team idea would work, we only have 12.97 for 3 riders, Zach, Rew ans Zische doesn't fit, surely to get Zach at reserve would need a rider on a 3 point average or less so that would probably mean a place for Ablitt.

I don't think Drew will have a team next season but I suspect he will get a place later in the season when injuries happen, he definitely has ability but seems to give up too easily at times. I agree the make up of the team needs to be solid but I did think with one year riding at CL level Ablitt could be retained.

Yes they did in Kings Lynn v Poole league match, after a couple of incidents on the first bend, Batchelor withdrew with a very minor injury to his hand which recovered quickly enough to ride in his next scheduled meeting and Holder refused to ride because of what he considered was an unsafe track. Worth pointing out both riders were riding for Kings Lynn at the time and his brother Jack rode the track well, Poole went on to win the meeting.

Don't see how Zach can start at reserve . As quite a few teams seem to be starting with a 2 pointer, Roynon should have a good season as he is better than most of the reserves .

Surprised at your comments, I would think most Poole fans would welcome Kyle back with open arms.

You could be correct, to win this season with the same team we started with was a breath if fresh air. I would love to see Kyle Newman back he ended the season well and could have a good season at reserve.

He is flakey, track slightly damp he won't bother and if he misses the gate he doesn't bother, don't want a rider like that myself.

He's not so young or hungry or any good anymore, his current average in the CL is lower than it was in the top league then. He does occasionally pull out all the stops but not very often.

Don’t think Roynon is the answer.

No thanks, Ben Cook can be third heat leader, Batchelor is one of those that gives up when he doesn't gate.

Batchelor or Roynon no thanks, we have no hope with those two in the team.

Yes I agree there, Lawson is not a gating tart in my opinion, he is a good gater but when he doesn't gate he gives it everything to try to pass and more often than not makes that pass. King is another one who is a great gater but doesn't give up if he doesn't gate, part of why I wanted him back. There are some riders who don't bother if they don't gate.

There are as many adverts in a Speedway programme as the football one I buy. Most Speedway content can be found on line too, I buy a Speedway programme mainly as it helps the club I buy a football programme for the content, I know it makes little or no difference in the football clubs revenue.

That is true, I always buy a programme personally as I know it helps the club

I wish we had Hume back at Poole but not too concerned that we didn't get Complin although he is an exciting rider usually and probably worth his current average.

I don't think football teams are turning away from a physical programme, the Premier league team I support certainly have a programme and has alot more in it than a Speedway programme and is 3.50 which compared to the 3.00 for a Speedway programme is a bargain considering how much information is in it.

He's not the only one annoyed by the decision!!

Yes one would imagine Kerr was a priority for Sheffield on his average, he could add at least a point to that and he was very good in the playoffs.

Someone is saying that Holder won't be a Panther next season. Is he right?

Oh ok.
