One thing that has been made pretty clear to me over the last few seasons of the so called better riders riding in the second division..is that the standard is now a lot higher..but I haven't seen the crowds go up accordingly...I've read alot about strengthening the product will bring fans back...it really hasn't been the case at all....so that myth has completely burst in my eyes.

Holder doesn't want to ride for poole..and won't be riding for poole....he will be at somerset with his brother...as was mentioned a couple of month's ago...but for some reason poole fans don't seem to get that not everyone wants to ride for poole. Having said that.....they are probably nearly all the same bloke anyway.

I don't really care what he does or doesn't average..I just wished they would stop changing the bloody rules all the time

As a co promoter...What's he going to do to promote the club?

So should that now x 1.3? So 6.45 in this league

Exactly..its not a hard thing to do....but this is speedway and the last thing anybody wants is it to be a fair and open sport that's not open to fiddling or making things up.

The fact that you put possibly is enought reason not to do it that way..but because it's your team that have benefited you will defend it

As stated...only the riders that show an interest in racing here..and let's be honest..its more or less the same riders riding in different country's. A simple data base

That's not the answer lol. Maybe ipswich had thought about it ..but didn't because they thought he was a 7 as he would previously have been. Surely even the most dumbest speedway fan can see a case by case basis is open to mischief.

So where is the logic in say ipswich German rider with very little experience and none in a professional league on a 5 average against Joel on a 5.2?? When before this week or month or whatever ..Joel would have been a 7

Could not have put it better myself...

At the end of every season...every speedway rider should have or be given an average which is in black and white there for all to see.

Apparently every new foreign rider will be assessed on a case by case basis. So that's why Joel has the average given. Now if that's not open to corruption I don't know what is.. Anyway. Good luck to both Edinburgh and Joel.

So are we to take it there isn't the 7 average rule anymore in this division??

I guess it's why you can't go on the bspa website and look at all the rules.....no one would be able to fiddle anything to their benefit then

Do I look stupid enough to be married? Actually ..don't answer that

Is there any sports rules more confusing than speedway?

So we have German that's not raced in a pro league and he is a 5 ...but Joel has raced in a top pro league and it 5.2???? Something dodgy going on here.

Good signing..he will do well.

Cos your promoter didn't scratch the right backs.

Maybe just maybe the promotion have pulled off a blinder with klindt..knowing full well his average will drop by a couple of points, maybe they already have a better rider lined up to strengthen the team. At the bottom end after the new averages come out.

The only debates some of the poole fans have gavan , is mass debates at home in their bedrooms whilst looking at pictures of chris holder.

This is speedway...and you should know better Ils nearly as corrupt as Russian drug testing

Now I like workington..my second team...but that is an awful signing on that average..Sorry to say it cos I want worky to do well. Jenga...if you didn't like Sarjeant you will be suicidal after watching klindt.

This sports is so full of loop holes and bull dung it's unbelievable.
