Likewise, wouldn't wish ill health on anyone. Having gone thru a health trauma some years ago I know how tough things can be. Can only echo the get well messages of others too.

Unless he signs for Poole he will just be an asset of Poole, not a Poole rider.

Unless rules have changed you aren't allowed to reintroduce a rider that rode for you the previous season that didn't start the following year.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cough cough Miedzinski. Riders will go where they want, on their own terms. Poole will have no leg to stand on if Holder wants to ride elsewhere.

I would have assumed Iversen would have been coming back. I hope he does for you guys.

Time will tell. In a weakened league with only a couple of top boys racing he could even improve his average. If he can maintain an 8 point average he will have done well IMHO. We've seen riders being written off before a wheel has turned before and they've shown posters up. Who knows, KK might even ride to a world class standard in 2018. Anything is possible.

I'd still say Thorssell will end up with a higher average of the 2 anyway so yes I know who I would prefer.

I doubt it. If Wolves can't afford him Id struggle to see any other team being able to. Unless your Leicester it seems!

There are riders individually we like and defend and riders that we don't rate or dislike and comment accordingly. He gets way less stick than Tai yet plenty see it as OK to berate him! Like I say we all have our opinions. Comparing a rider still improving and making his way in the sport to a supposed world class rider. Great comparison.

We will have to agree to disagree on that point. I've just stated he is hardly a wanted man given his known form for letting teams down. If that's derogatory then so be it.

I haven't made any derogatory comments about him at all. I've only commented that not many teams will be looking to sign him, even on that average. It's called an opinion.

And already in talks with his parent club. Maybe CVS allowed him to talk to other clubs as well.

Freddie has already said so on social media himself last week.

Bizarrely yes apparently so.

Every other team will breath a sigh of relief knowing KK hasn't signed for them.

Tai would have ridden for any of the top 4 in 2016 if Wolves couldn't fit him in. He has made his allegiance to his parent club time and time again. Any other team would have been 2nd choice. Pawlicki would be back at Wolves if the TV was there and averages not increased. Poole were never likely to sign him either way.

That's the odd thing about the averages. Can't see why they didn't stick with using 1 average again. Would make more sense. But of course this is British speedway so it's never going to be sensible.

The 2nd division is always going to be way weaker than the top flight. Last year was the weakest top flight in history yet still the 2nd tier best got thumped by easily the weakest top flight team. Every season we hear the same thing. Truth is the 2nd tier is still much weaker than the top tier and it's nearly a certainty that 2018 will be the weakest top flight ever!

Of course it's strange, why don't you think it's strange? ? Teams are starting to be built yet still the BSPA can't do the simple of putting out averages for team building, particularly for those who missed out on 2017. How difficult is it to see that. Please don't put words into my mouth. My post is very clear.

Can't say it's a very inspiring line up but looks like our promoters are turning their noses up at a TV deal which is sad to say the least. Heeps impressed me this season at Wolves and beat Freddie if I remember right? Our reserves sadly look poor.

Their averages aren't similar, there is nearly a point between them.

What on earth on you blithering on about? Why are you trolling my name when I'm not even in the conversation. Mind numbing. Edit... I wonder when they are going to confirm the averages for those returning to the UK for 2018?? Strange that there is no confirmation from the BSPA

Makes it clear that he was interested in coming back to the UK as I previously indicated. It seems he was heading back to his parent club until the ridiculous reassess some but not others apparent ruling. MF would be interested in a rider on a false average, like any promoter would I'd say.

Your telling a Swindon fan on a Swindon thread to go away?? Priceless.

How many GP's did MJJ ride in? If Piotr is reassessed 9 then so should MJJ and Lindback etc.
