We should be able to get a reasonable second string but we cant unless we get a new rider on a assessed average below 6.21 which i dont think we can. A rider of Klindt's ability riding at reserve should be at least on a 7. The only viable alternative is Sedgeman in my view so the options are very limited.

too high Can't think of any who is comparable ability.

Not great for Poole he started on 5.42 and has only gone up to 6.21 and there is no other rider available on his average with his ability

i think they ride some fridays too depends on his schedule but would be good for him and certainly good for Peterborough anyone would be better than Hall!! If we replace Klindt and we have 6.21 to play with, who can we get? Todd Kurtz?

Poole didn't threaten his career, he decided to ride, for 3 rides he just trundled round at the back, riding not racing and he will most likely ride in the SEC at the weekend, maybe we are all being harsh as it was his first meeting after his injury and should give him time.

I expect when KK gets his 4H/4A then his average will be much reduced and we may be under 42 point limit anyway, whether that will help to get new riders is difficult to know at this stage, even if he got double figure scores every week from now on his average will be quite a bit lower than it is at the moment. Hans has not got a neck fracture or any broken bones in his neck although the headline was breaking news!!

it isn't as though we can hide and say the track was ok because it was clearly pretty awful, I don't go to every meeting but the track is quite often bumpy in places but last night was particularly bad maybe over watered I don't know, hopefully be better for the next meeting against Kings lynn. Some may say home advantage but I can't see how it is helping us and certainly isn't helping the entertainment value.

It has always been the rule you can do that, why moan now? It doesnt favour Poole can't think there is anyone who would be better than Klindt on his average the guy is riding with an injury. Are you saying you can't replace an injured rider!Belle Vue replace a fully fit rider nobody says a thing Poole do and you complain the rules are wrong.

That would be almost impossible considering the average reduction to 42 points.

Any rider that replaces Klindt will have to have a lower average too. What is the difference! If Klindt was fit we wouldn't need to replace him. Belle Vue were only able to improve their team by signing Tungate because Tungate has lowered his average after a poor start to this season.

It has always been the case you can change a rider on a like for like basis as long as the new rider has a lower average than the rider he is replacing.

Maybe that is true it was just to get his average and was quite surprised he beat Bewley in heat 14, he showed no interest after the first bend in his other rides in which he rode rather than raced. If KK can produce the form he has in Poland since his return from injury and we can get someone to replace Klindt which at the moment looks a difficult task, as i have said before should have kept Newman and replaced Klindt with Starke but that's gone now so maybe Sedgeman?

He can be replaced on a like for like basis doesn't have to be injured.

not bad assessment Bewley rode well, Klindt appalling. Klindt must go.

Disagree still think Wolves are the team to beat.

Average doesn't fit so think again.

The most important rider tonight for Poole has to be Paul Starke, bound to get at least 6 maybe 7 if Klindt comeback backfires. I hope Klindt performs as we know he can but coming back after a lay off is always tricky especially when your riding with the injury. If Klindt withdraws after a couple of rides we are in trouble and will most likely lose. Bewley could be the key for Belle Vue, a rider improving all the time, a great future awaits for him.

You said that when we rode against Wolves and we needed a 5-1 in heat 15 for that win! Well Cook is as good as anyone at Poole these days, Fricke is a decent rider and a lot have said he will be a gp rider but I have my doubts personally but he always seems to struggle at Poole.

Towngate on Wimborne Road is ok so i have been told.

Oh sounds nasty hope he's ok for tomorrow.

I dont think you will win at Poole gating boots on or not.

If he had come over this season he would be on about the same as Chris Holders starting average this season but since they reduced to 42 point team average i would have thought a re-assessment of his average

Yeah forgot that but he wouldnt be number one when KK comes back

Really looking forward to this should be a cracker and great for tv. Whatever some have said i think both teams will be up for this one and although we have a vunerable number one the rest are riding pretty well, hoping Klindt comes back and has a good one, Starke should have a good night at reserve.

Pretty much universally liked i would say, never heard anyone say a bad word about him.
