I’m surprised. But thanks for sharing that. However his lack of commitment saw Coventry (twice), Poole, Lakeside and Birmingham sack him tho!

That’s the one. When he rode for Cov. I’m convinced he didn’t, I’d have been more surprised if he did put his UK club first!

League programme is finished so play offs don’t count towards averages. Fallen to 6.30 from 6.57 since last averages changed. Id assume 6.30 is his starting average then.

My criteria would be clear tho. If they are good enough to ride in the top tier then they deserve a higher assessment. your point obviously shows up some flaws in that. Riders new to the top tiers or at second string in the top flights of Poland and Sweden maybe unfairly judged so surely there is a sensible way around that? RIDERS WHO HAVE MISSED A FULL UK SEASON OR NEW TO UK RACING - Riders who ridden in the GP in the past 2 seasons and/or have a Swedish or Polish top tier average of over 7.50 automatically get an 8 average in the UK. Riders who have a Swedish or Polish top average under 7.50 automatically get a 7.00 UK average. Riders who have a Polish 2nd tier average automatically get a 6.00 UK average -Riders who have ridden in the UK previously or have never ridden in the UK (none British) get a minimum 5.00 average. No exemptions.

I’m sure I remember riders missing meetings here for an awards show in Poland (wasn’t it Ward or someone like that?) a few years back. Dont think it will matter to the Poles when anyone races if they want first call on them. As wrong as that is.

The assumption from the original post is that anyone missing a couple of seasons racing here should be reassessed and lower. That of course is nonsense. The league is getting weaker year on year so anyone missing a year here should be reassessed in line with where they are riding in Europe. Anyone racing in Swedish and Polish top tier should always be minimum of 8 for new or returning riders. Its not that hard to implement. As explained above I agree and ditto Holder. The fact he has ridden in top tier in Poland this season should mean a minimum of 8 in the UK, ditto the others also mentioned. i know reductions are a different scenario. I fail to see any reason why someone like Holder would fall into a reduction category.

Ridiculous if considered. If so we demand reassessments for Freddie, Tai and Piotr Pawlicki.

Thanks. They haven’t updated (both clubs) their Facebook pages.

Where has this been confirmed?

And Chris still isn’t a number one in the UK anymore either.

Exactly. Riders will ride where they want irregardless of who owns their contract. The Miedzinski ruling.

Could be 2 behind Pete Adams if we are crowned champions.

Ditto any meeting on any track.

Think it would be perfect practice with no one having to extend themselves for the win.

Apologies, couldn’t remember which way round it was. Either way my point remains, Poole were in form going into the play offs. Certainly plenty of noises heard on the TV, sounded very lively. As it should be! The Play Offs never fail to excite.

You weren’t in bad form at the end of the season. You finished in style winning at Kings Lynn (no other team had) and topped the table under huge pressure from the most in form team Swindon, Poole were very much in decent form. It’s just 4 riders let you down when it mattered.

Top and in the final counts, which one team didn’t achieve.

No worries.

The same reason that last Monday was cancelled. Track already under water with poor forecast tomorrow,

All will depend on the weather and how the track is prepared accordingly. Given all things equal I fancy a 6 point home win.

Think he has gone for a run today #prayforjackstoe#

Thank you. I’ve tried to explain it the best way I can so I guess there is no hope. To ‘goad’ someone to reply by a group of posters is exactly the same . A rider that ‘can’t put weight on it’ then is seen walking on it in the pits is faking it, without question. Middlo I’ll bet was happy with his sulky and poor attitude because he knew IRR would help their cause. Holder was never going to ride his last 2 rides because of his attitude so Middlo was happy to accept that. Either way the actions were completely wrong. Very well said. Simply put, yes. Classic Shov troll. Disgraceful in defeat. Shocking and poor sportsmanship. Ipswich deserved the win, simple as.

It’s either bullying or it isn’t. By isolating Gavan by asking him to post is no different to what you are accusing others are doing to Starman. Gavan often says he doesn’t see it as bullying and that’s his prerogative.By the same example no one is ‘ganging’ up on anyone else either. Some Poole fans have very thin skins when they are called out yet think it’s perfectly ok to attack and purposely goad others. Taking your own advice if Starman thinks he is being bullied then let him say so. Of course he won’t because it’s not the case.

Now come on. We’ve had to watch you, Shovvy and Starman asking where Gavan is on threads and then attacking him when he does. If you want to come across as a hypocrite tho.

Very true!
