Because it gives you a presence in the town. I am sure most towns have shops for the local sports clubs. Speedway is Poole's primary sport so why not have a permanent shop, I'm sure Peterborough has a shop for it's primary sport.
It would appear that Ashley Morris has a converted average from his 2017 championship average so it would appear that Sarjeant will have his average converted in the same way.
Doubt Lawson, Wright or Allen will improve much, good reserves although never heard of the new rider but won't have to beat much judging by the other number 7's that have been signed up to now, overall a solid team along with Doyley who will no doubt be the best rider in the league once again.
The team is pretty much the same as last season so why should they make the play offs next season? As you Say all a bit unexciting. Who is the big improver?
