Douglas is at Wolves

Would be a great signing for any team on a 5.79 average. Given a injury free season, Hans should put a point on that without to much trouble. You suffered last season through his injury so it would only be right that you benefit from his low average next season.

Riders will tune anything to get an advantage. All the work is done in the cylinder head and camshaft. The modern top riders speedway bike puts out around 75-78 bhp at the crank @ silly revs, 13500+ rpm ish, which is silly revs for a single cylinder 4 stroke. Hence they need work after 30 miles. 800cc is huge for a single, and would weigh more, but in mild/ standard state of tune that might last 80 races or so ( 80 miles) might put out around 65 bhp.. Which is plenty really, but riders will always have work done to increase power for big tracks, and to change where the engine puts out it's power. Sealed engine is the only way to stop this I think. The thing is, when you make an engine that can go a long time before work, it's an engine that goes off the boil ( for competition use) after a while due to a loss of compression. While on the road 3 of 4 bhp would be hard to notice for most. On a speedway track, it's huge.

Bump for Shovvy. You should of sponsored them if they meant that much to you Shovvy. You said you had £1m turnover in the art trade, a season or two ago. That and the £50k TV deal should of kept Poole in the Prem. Feel for some Poole fans on here, and wish you the best in the CL.

Pretty sure they do. If correct, making Ellis 6.33, Perks 3.48 , leaving room for a 4 pointer at No. 6, if Rosco can find another gem.

He was great at home, but his averaged dropped by 4 points away. Home 7.71 Away 3.78. That's huge. The biggest gap in the league I would of thought. As you know the Stars got nothing on the road last season. A few changes are needed if we want a play off place. We need to pick points up on the road in 2020. I'm not saying change the whole team, but Lynn's engine room needs to be better next season if they are serious about winning things. We had to many flying around the AFA, but poor away. Not picking on any one rider, but a few stats...... Last places...…... Home TJ 3 ...….. Away 11 Erik 1...…. Away 10 MPT 3..... Away11 Lewis 7...... Away 18

Your source ?

I thought it was all British riders get it. Someone will be along to confirm either way I guess. With 2.5% reduction for King …. 25.95, leaving 16.55 Without … 26.12, leaving 16.38

With King's -2.5% taken off, those 4 come to 25.95, leaving 16.55.

Good signing if you do get him. His average of 6.16 goes down to 6.00 if the 2.5% reduction applies .

Guess we will find out soon enough. Deffo a bums on seats rider. Can only be good for British speedway

Surely one will be.

Cold nights, indifferent tracks, less money, old man that has plenty, on a guarantee? Doyle averaged under 9. Great for bums on seats, which is great, but can't seeing him averaging over 8. I see him around Lambo, Cookie, NKI type of scorer in our league.

Agree, will put bums on seats, even away from home I would of thought. I think he will struggle to average 8.61 if i'm honest at this stage of his career.

Thanks. I think he would do well to average anything above 8, at this stage.

8 ish?

No doubt got the potential to be s*it hot, is that what you meant

Don't they usually leave the best till last though

Great for the Tigers, and for the sport in the UK. Does anyone know what average he will come in on.

That first team would be great.. if only

NKI is getting on now. The bloke ain't skint, don't really need the money. He is as good away as he is at home. That's the good thing. He's a good HT13 and 15 man, home or away. He wont average more than 8, but he seems to deliver when it matters.

With how Poole fans drop off when they ain't at the top of the league, I wonder how many will support you in div 2. It has to be no more than 25%.

But Poole ain't. Time to close it. Even Poole can't have a thread in both.Sorry

to high 42.50
