Need to get a few positive comments going on the bottom of that paper article.

Suprised Bellego is back at Swindon. No value in his average. He was struggling in the second half of last season after starting brightly.

Certainly would want CH in the team if a deal could be done. Jacks petulance got the better of him and has now bit him on the arse. Matt Ford won’t tolerate insubordination from junior riders let alone riders with years of experience. Not sure will see him back until he has grown up if ever. No Milik wanted a kings ransom, as did Wozniak. Guess they think Polish money is the norm and can expect that rate for their services out of the Polish bubble. Not going to happen at Poole.

Klindt isn’t in the Poole team. Nice of you to take the P out of a super little racer in Shanes at the begining of his career making his way in the sport.

Wait until Monday evening when we announce two more riders and we will be classed as cheats etc. The likely loss of Holder has certainly messed up our team building plans though. We need to get him onboard and not let him go to Somerset on such a low average.

Yes agree really hope he is back.

Sheffield fans have got a brilliant racer to look forward to watching next season.

I don’t need to explain. If you are a Poole fan you will know.

Well if you had watched him at Poole you would know.

You are so far off being correct it’s untrue.

Ford is not bellyaching at all. He has told them to sod off with their demands. Other clubs who stump up ludicrous wage demands put their business at risk if fans don’t turn up to watch them. Poole have always cut their cloth accordingly since Matt has been in charge and as a result have been on a stable footing.

Not sure this is true. Not saying the info you were given is wrong, but when riders demand Polish size wages to ride here they get short sharp shrift.

And just how much is Drabik going to cost? 160-180 a point? Never going to be a realistic option unless sponsors stump up the wages. Easy keep pulling names out the hat but the sport is poor in this country.

The rule book does not allow it. Simple as that. You would have to ask the MC to ignore the rule in the rulebook. Don't think any club has had success in basically cheating this way, as it would mean sacking a rider in the team to bring Doyle back in, which is against the rules as it states you cannot reintroduce a rider back into the team he rode for the previous season. The only reason the mc would have discretion is for a returning rider to replace a season ending injury to a teams number one, and certainly NOT for a team to jiggle to gain an advantage.

Because the as yet to be announced will score more to relegate him to second string.

What did Josh do to Hans in heat 15 when Somerset rode at Poole last season? Josh will only be heat leader until the first set of green sheets.

You can’t bring Doyle back into the team even if Morris dropped below 8. The rules don’t allow it.

Not sure it was a suprise. Poole asset. Yes my error will come in as a heat leader to start with but will be suprised if he isnt at 2 or 4. Doubt he will be a heat leader after first set of gs.

Welcome back to Josh G. Good solid second string. Riding at 2 or 4.

Info was watching him live on tv riding at number one for Rybnik.

Before it was announced?

With any luck he will be happy back home where he is appreciated and will hopefully stick a point and a half on his average. Thats if he is in the Poole team of course.

Jensen said on thepodcast if it hadn’t gone through the league would have been made up of three or four teams. Make of that what you will.

Yes of course. And just disregard the fact Vaculik was Poole bound. I have come to the conclusion all clubs voted it through for the sake of the league.

Matt had a number one lined up for Poole who has now gone elsewhere. There might have been overall consensus that all teams accepted the rule and voted it through.
