We'll still likely be running r/r on Thursday for Josh!? THJ will be at 6 with Covatti replacing Richie at 2. r/r will allow Brady, Nico, THJ and Ricky to take those rides on current averages. for Ippo I assume Allen drops back to reserve with r/r for Heeps. So Danny, Allen and Sarjeant for the r/r rides?!

THJ signed subject to BSPA approval.

THJ comes in at reserve with Covatti going to 2. Josh likely to be missing so r/r.

No T/S if you needed them and very limited choice if you get another injury. Don't worry Gav I know Ippo haven't got that much experience of the play-offs but trust me Poole have.

Different ballgame for the play-offs.

So 6.96 then (ie 4.64 KIngs Lynn 2017 x 1.5)?

Hope Jack has no after effects of his 'coming together' with Pedersen in heat 1 at Torun yesterday. He went on to score 10 points so hopefully all will be well. In fact all the Pirates top 4 scored well in Poland yesterday and Ricky scoring paid 13 for the Monarchs - lets hope they bring it all to Wolves this evening.

Anyone know what average he comes in on?

I believe it was a deal done between Poole and Somerset in order to assist the Rebels in achieving their minimum asset base back in 2017/18?! I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong

Not according to the latest GSAs (issue 22 issued 23/08/19) assuming these are the figures for September?! Heeps is still 4th.

Just Adam and the 2 reserves taking r/r I think you'll find!? Musielak is 5th in your averages.

Only news so far is that Peter Adams is unavailable so Sam Ermolenko will be Wolves Team Manager!

We may have a gp rider in the future!! Jack and Brady are still young kids in the overall scheme of things and they will become more consistent in time. They are learning their craft in the top leagues in Poland and Sweden - which is a lot more than many other riders currently in the British leagues. On another forum some are saying not to consider re-signing Chris Holder next season because he is 'old and past it'. Can't win either way in some people's eyes can we.

Poole unusually missed a trick at the start of the season when Klindt was recommending Jensen (who he rode with at Worky last season) but MF went for NBJ instead. Its what happens when you take your eye off the ball temporarily.

Belle Vue think they have problems?! You should see the team that Peterborough are putting out at Ipswich tonight!!!!

I think the meeting should be postponed. Its hardly fair on the other teams going for top 4 spot!!

Its rumoured that Poole v Kings Lynn Supporters Cup meeting may be the 2nd part of a KL double header on 12th September - if the Pirates landlords are happy for it to happen then.

Exactly!!

Ipswich have a bit of history of losing at home to teams with half their riders out so all may not be lost Panthers fans. Your team has a few riders that will always want to do well at the foxhole.

He said the same thing earlier in the season before he got his Polish 3rd division place, BUT he does fit, he is a Poole asset but will he cost more than the club want to afford?

Matt will only sell it if he has a buyer at the right price!! He's brought his son Danny and colleague Tilley in as co-promoters so that they can take the brunt of the day-to-day running of the club with Matt keeping an eye from abroad. This season Matt is flying in for most of the Pirates home meetings but its Danny that is being shown the ropes and becoming the 'front man' - hence its Danny that is now quoted in most news stories and publicity. I think this is season is one of transition - not forgetting that Danny and Tilley also have their own day jobs.

Good!!

Correct. For any foreign rider to come over now its the costs of air fares, mechanics, vans in addition to points money/guarantees that make it prohibitive at the moment.

Presumably Bjerre will be riding in UK on Thursday?

Richie is giving an update to MF before the 28th. As DF and Middlo have both stated there is no easy (or cheap?) replacement available within Richie's average which would improve things. There may be a lower averaged rider that could mean Nico going to 2, which isn't ideal either!
