Similar at Lynn 2005-09.

Not sure I'd agree with that, I'd personally put him behind Coles, Stoneman, Pijper, Atkins and Mulford. Jury out on Killeen. What I would say is that IF Roynon and Newman are Poole's reserves as suggested that is quite shrewd, they are experienced riders who should have the beating of many reserves in the league. Once it was decided to release King and go more solid Ablitt was highly unlikely to return, hopefully he will get a ride elsewhere.

Good luck to Jack, he looked very promising last seaaon before breaking his wrists. Can imagine it was a tough choice for Lynn between he and Jason Edwards.

Mulford averaged a point more than Ablitt in the NL last year and actually turned up at Armadale for their most important meting.

The selection is based on averages in both leagues and Brennan has exceeded the threshold, plus I don't think he needs the protection of the RS scheme any more anyway.

Same dimensions as the EoES circuit preferably.

At a massive crossroads in his career, hopefully this move will kick-start things for him again. One of those riders who has found the jump from NL to Champs too big unfortunately.

Well it would be essentially Riss for Summers, Rew for Starke and potentially Thomas for Rowe....across a whole season I'd say all three are upgrades but Batch is so flaky and it feels like King needs a change so it lacks a bit of freshening up. Of course you'd like a good second heat leader but finances and points due to Doyle probably prevent it.

At times over the last two or three seasons Jorgensen has been the only Lynn rider worth watching at home, he is exciting and rides Lynn well, and to be fair his away form improved too in 2022. This time last year I'd have agreed with you but for me he gets in on merit for next season. Cares about the club too which goes a long way.

He never said he did

You spotted the deliberate mistake prize in the post!

Morris is better than both of those, Complin's saving grace is his average and at least Newman is local with club links.

Fair enough if you don't rate him but many do and he'd soon ride Poole well if he was there every week and was privy to the right set ups and lines as a home rider. I just think talented young riders usually flourish under the Poole set up and he'd do the same.

Pretty clear that the idea is to emulate P'boro class of 2021, they tried last year but it didn't work. The plan is to have six riders averaging around seven and a FTR who chips in, if that's the case there won't be too many big hitters above say Klindt and Pickering....you are probably looking at Doyle and Bewley, possibly Fricke, Holder, Kurtz, Harris, Museilak & Masters although they can all be hit and miss. The key is that the top six has to be rock solid and the senior reserve must hit double figures. Don't forget MPT was at 1 for P'boro when they won the title. Our league isn't littered with massive names, there's certainly nothing frightening out there IMO. Having Jakobsen at reserve should be more scary for other sides. One thing which MUST happen is winning at home every week, over the last few seasons we've lost far, far too often on home soil.

Why? Good, up and coming British riders, what's not to like? Joe signed up but I reckon Dan would do really well at somewhere like Poole.

Self employed worker in opting for the best wage shocker. In any case the FTR's are chosen by a draft system for 2023.

I reckon you should rewrite that post to see if you can bite a bit harder

Good pay which is delivered on time is all they are really bothered about, as well as help with digs/a workshop and transport for those without a set up in the UK already. Trophies are just a bonus, although going deep into competitions obviously means more meetings.

He actually won the first reserve race and then ran five lasts including some rides in the main meeting, but I agree he looked handy that day. As others have said handy looking team apart from Shanes.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you but that is quite disrespectful to those in 2nd-7th. Haven't heard of those from 8th downwards but the top seven are a million miles above amateur level.

Kozza

He's being ironic.

I'm sure I can remember Schlein riding for Sheffield Prowlers in the CL around 2002?

I hope Mildenhall can sort something out because it's a great little venue for a Sunday afternoon out, but they MUST sort the long drawn out meetings and the high number of falls. Folk are obviously voting with their feet, get the product right and they are likely to return.

I think given the choice I'd probably stick with Jason Edwards for Lynn, Jack did well before breaking his wrists but there'll be question marks over his fitness initially and Jason got better and better with each home meeting. Ideally I'd have both in the squad at seven and eight but the other will surely get snapped up whoever we choose (if either of course).
