Sums up how much interest Poole fans have on youth speedway in this country.

Berwick have one to announce very soon hopefully.

But they literally had a NL team last season.

got wise to Kemp? He’s dropping the championship as he’s signed for Daugavpils. Could only really sign for Oxford or Poole to go with those commitments

I’d love to see your workings for this. There will be 63 Championship riders this season, plus from last season, Kemp, Borke, Gusts, Heeps, Knudsen, Nagel, Boughen, Starke, Klindt, Polis, Bowtell, S Worrall, Z Kennedy, D Kennedy, Voulas, Hook on the sidelines. I’ll remove the unlikeliest ones and you’ve still got around 74 Championship level riders. We’d require 98 for 14 x 7 man teams. 24 riders to find, a few Premiership will drop down to the one big league, riders like Iversen who aren’t good enough in Poland anymore. Say that leaves 20 spots, 10 to be foreigners coming in on assessed averages, and 10 NL riders moving up seems fair, but you could easily get 20 Aussies/Americans/Danes to come who aren’t involved in the top leagues, this is presuming we stick with 7 man teams, we may go 6 and then suddenly you’ve only got 10 spots to fill (14x6=84 - 74 riders =10). So no, why on earth would Jack Smith on a sub 3 be a second string, stop over dramatising, Championship riders aren’t going to leave the Britain.

Poole, Plymouth and Edinburgh obvious. Scunny - Ablitt, Lambert, MPT, Harrison Berwick - Assessed 4 pointer. Worky - Who knows… Cookie, a 5 assessed and a 2 pointer?

There’s so many places where this team could have been far better, and the Smith signing is certainly one of them.

So as predicted, Berwick pick 28 year old Jack Smith rather than the young man who showed him the way round Shielfield Max Perry

Forgone conclusion then?

But has a broken back

Scunny I’d have had Lambert and Perry as final two and I’m sure majority of others would too.

Or not.

Yes, an assessed 4.

They’ve signed Jack Smith… Everyone knows it.

There’s not much out there to fill the gap if it’s Paco and Kye, and I can’t see either of them not being in the team.
