No one in the past few posts has mentioned that Kyle has improved as an edr rider. Other riders have been mentioned but not Newman. Has he not improved as an edr? Kyle on 3.79 is about right. He spent more or less the whole season at reserve so was racing against riders of a similar standard. Yes he was beating them as well, so he was one of the better edr riders no doubt about it. But up in the team he struggled in general. He will probably be slightly disappointed in his progression in 2016 but he had two time outs, one life threatening so really he did better than tread water, But in the PL he was racing against other heat leaders and only acheived a 6.3 average. A much clearer reading of his worth. Some have pointed to beating Woffinden from the back around Monmore. It was a fantastic performance. But 9 times out of ten that wouldn't happen. The same equation must be used across the board for all edr riders. You can't single out certain riders because you think they might do better and lumber them with a higher average. As all are Brits the bspa should look favourably on them all. Give all edr's a 3.5 starting average for next season so that none are left by the wayside when it comes to team building averages.

If the reserves at the start of the season have to be two Brits he will likely be facing riders of the same standard of this past season. I hope they retain the edr its helped bring on some riders and better to have two Brit edrs than jonny foreigner.

If the edr is being scrapped, which would be a huge shame, then the two lowest averaged of the team sit in the reserve berths. Kyles average is low enough that it is more than likely he will be one of the reserves. Unless you want Poole to stick a second string or heat leader in a reserve berth to force Kyle into the top five.

I havent responded to any of Gavans posts for months. Got him on block. No point in trying to debate with someone with hatred of all things Poole in his heart.

Believe he had offers but no room to fit them into his diary.

You cant pick and choose which riders get a reduction and which ones don't. Has to be the same across the board.

I am laughing reading the anti Poole brigade running around like headless chickens because Kyle has a sub four average, calling him a ringer etc. Got news for ya. He is a sub four rider. His average proves it and he is one of our reserves next season! All this should be a 5+ is nonsense. Next year hopefully he will be but currently his average doesn't lie.

If he improves enough to get out of the reserve berth then great.

No. its the way its always been done. The edr average is all over the place with some riders remaining at reserve most of the season while other riders have moved up into the team and remained there.

7.08.

Saw a big pile of soil at the end of the carpark.

Heard last night that 4 PL clubs are chasing Kyles signature for next season.

Went past the stadium day before yesterday and drove into the car park. Absolutely nothing going on.

Doubt this fixture will take place.

Not sure why some are moaning about Kyle Newman at reserve. He has a pl average so will be a sub 4 pointer. Doubt there will be two riders with a lower average than Kyle so reserve it will be.

Strong rumours tonight at Poole that Rye House replace Leicester in the 2017 EL.

Riders could have been signed for next season before the Poles tried to force this through. They then would not have been able to do this.

It us ridiculous that the season is over yet the agm us still not until next month. This needs to be brought forward to August or September, so teams can be buult and riders can deal with promotions for yhd following season. Poland have stolen a huge march, will have riders signed up and when if comes to doing a deal riders will not be able to commit as they have signed the Polish contract. The bspa together with Sweden and Poland have to get togethr and work as one against Polands forced demands. Simple as that.

Why on earth are people banging on about Milik being re-assessed? He already has a legit average from last year for gods sake! If he should be re-assessed then so should every rider. People should get off their anti Poole horse. If he was being signed by any other team it wouldn't even be an issue and would be praised as a good signing.

And now theres no more marmite! Tesco refuse to accept a 10% price increase from unilever, a Dutch company, who say the fall of the pound means their products need to go up in price by 10%.

I believe at this time it is impossible to defend brexit.

Why would Milik be re-asseses? He has an official average. If you think Milik needs his average raising, you are therefore admitting Woffinden was a ringer.

We had the fifth largest economy on the planet. Will that be the case after brexit? Highly unlikely. But why on earth would I want it to fail? Failure means hardship, or less revenue for my business and family. Why would I want less money? My income is down already as prices and fuel rises in Price. While I have a good business and am better off than many people, if I can feel the change already what will the lower end of society, the less well off, be feeling? And this is before we leave. Nothing is going to change with the exception of high food and fuel proces, electronic consumables going through the roof and the standard of living dropping through the floor. But hey, we have our country back, right? 😳 Yep. Instead of that property costing £349,950, it now only costs 348,950.

Hans Andersen has pulled out of Fridays meeting. Still not recovered from hand injury. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/14796337.Speedway__Broken_leg_would_have_been_better_than_broken_finger_says_Pirates_star_Andersen/

I wonder if the people who voted brexit back in June realised just how badly it was going to hit them in the pocket right now, would have still voted to leave? Fruit and veg prices are already on the rise. Fuel is rising at a rate of a penny a day. Holidays are now 20% more expensive than a few months ago. At the time I said a decent majority of the Brexit voters were the equivelent to fishwives of Hartlepool. Didn't have a clue what they really voted for, and still don't know as 'long as they get their country back'. They don't seem to have grasped the fact that the borders will have to remain open for Britain to get the best possible trade deal with europe, by far our biggest trading partner. And the deal we will get will be a very poor second against the one we have now. So what is Britain to gain? Some trade deals with third world nations? The import if large amounts of Brazilian beef is sure to cheer up our beef farmers, who will lose their EU grants. A trade deal with Australia, so instead of un-subsidised expensive beef we can tuck into a roast Sunday lunch of kangeroo. We can make our own laws. Will they be any different to the ones we are governed by today? We take control of our borders. No we won't. Nothing will change as we are had over a barrel. The millions of Brits living in Europe could be forced back here if we close our borders to EU citizens. We are in for years of very hard times. It will hit the poor more but it will hit everyone. Already its costing me money as it is everyone. But thats ok, as we are spending an extra 350 million a week on the NHS. So The vote leave campain would have you believe! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37627308 Happy days!
