	You were given 3 by Steve0 but you choose to ignore them. If you are going to keep changing the goalposts then it’s pointless getting into a debate about it.

How desperate must a team be to scrape the lowest of the barrel for a number one, probably the worst number one in history. - 
	It’s only because with the points limit it points to a number one signing with one of JT or SM. If it happens it happens. I’m sure Wolves fans will find out more on Tuesday anyway. It could be an interesting talk in one way or another.
 - 
	Don’t know how it’s hilarious tho. The bottom 3 have great potential to improve. More than probably any of the other 6 teams bottom 3 when announced. The bottom end is fine (although I’d agree Nicholls for Nicol would be an even better option on paper) it’s just if the top 2 are staying the same is the biggest issue as to why we are building 2 points below the limit.
 - 
	Steve0 has mentioned at least 3.
 - 
	Riders generally do improve when they move away from Poole.
 - 
	Ditto virtually every top GP rider. Woffy and Fred are 2 riders that are doing that. I’d love it if either return and prove me wrong. Of course you only have Pedersen as proof that top stars are flocking back to the UK. Wont stop me hoping that Wolves and other clubs bring back those stars. I’d love you to be right, which would make a change.
 - 
	How is it missing the point? Belle Vue had Fricke, Kings Lynn had Lambert and both teams failed to make the play offs. A strange world if ‘having ambition’ means you sign a true number one and then fail to make the play offs. Ambition to make the play off and Final? Ipswich delivered. We don’t know if Ipswich have or haven’t landed a number one yet anyway.
 - 
	In truth there is no argument. Todd is better at Sheffield than Auty, as proven by stats. Only someone who has no knowledge of the CL would argue different.
 - 
	You said they lacked ambition and my point disagreed.
 - 
	The fact that Ipswich were a top 4 side virtually all season long and made the Play Off Final it would suggest ambition isn’t lacking. Everyone wrote them off before a wheel was turned this year so it would be foolish to do the same again imho.
 - 
	Splitting hairs anyway. Tracks will see an increase when Sheffield are in town.
 - 
	The Pedersen factor will see Sheffield comfortably replace any shortcomings that Poole might bring.
 - 
	As we’ve not seen the other 3 yet I wouldn’t totally rule them out. Think it’s a mistake to rule out Ipswich again as they comfortably made the top 4 this year before Iversen was signed. Id be careful ruling them out again. As for Wolves, makes no sense to build 2 points below limit but even still a decent side if the duo sign.
 - 
	IF we are looking at similar teams to this season then Wolves will still be strong but would be outclassed by Swindon just like the play offs. IF it’s Masters And Thorssell as the last 2 then it’s well under the points limit despite looking solid and improvement throughout. However if Wolves have pulled off a top rider at number one that could make us front runners tho.
 - 
	Now the top 7 is confirmed Swindon will start as massive favourites with a way stronger top 4 than Sheffield.
 - 
	Who is missing Poole already? Nah me neither.
 - 
	I’ll take all the credit then Bruno. But fair play to you although I’m pretty sure you are in a very small minority. Where I stand there are regularly Heathens fans who shout for the opposition. They hate us! I think Cradley fans would turn up to see Greg Although still wear their Heathens coats lol. For long-standing fans of both clubs there will never be another rivalry like it. So it’s hard for any newer fans to fully understand just how bitter that rivalry was. I never shouted once for Billy in those 2 years he was with us. He would be referred to as ‘the rider in blue’
 - 
	Me too. It’s already been indicated he is likely to sign. He is a vital part of the future.
 - 
	Because it’s not confirmed If he is or isn’t yet other than people posting he isn’t.
 - 
	It’s all assumption at the moment. Its assumed both will be signing which goes against the usual team planning by building 2 points below the limit. So it’s fair to suggest one of them might sign with a stronger number one. Time will tell but at this stage nothing is certain, not to mere fans.
 - 
	As previously discussed I’m only quoting what Rosco said last week who said it was ‘rubbish’ that Musielak wouldn’t be back.
 - 
	If he said something in a Swindon programme then that might be different. Just quoting Rosco in last weeks speedway star saying it was ‘rubbish’. Exactly, he may come back. Rosco said so.
 - 
	Some people really don’t do the simplest of things by reading for themselves.
 - 
	You are at least 50% right.
