Personally I think this was pushed by Poole knowing only Thompson and Lawson were over 8 and knowing they had cairns and rushen coming in at reserve. 

of course it was, theyve been doing stuff like this in the off season for years.

I would say look at two of the teams who had no rider over eight for 2025 season.

 

I would agree with that.

Berwick would probably have kept 2, Glasgow would have kept 2 and Redcar would have kept 2. That would be 3 teams (unless Klindt had raced) looking for a rider to lead their team.

How does that work? Poole only have one vote, what about the other 8 teams? Also they tend not to vote for what Poole want.

So you think they bribe other promoters to vote for what they want. How anti Poole do you need to be to think that!

First of all Plymouth gain way more out of it than we do. 

Secondly, Poole moved down to save money. Hardly think they are going to use it to make sure Redcar cant have Danny King!

This is silly.   The "one of the eight" plan was a good leveller, and the league is looking pretty even right now -- Edinburgh and Scunthorpe are higher than they might have been if others had kept all the good riders to themselves.

Since this is a Redcar page, I should also say that the Bears have the luxury of choosing which of two very good riders to be their #1 going forward.  Their choice.

Wait till season ends and see if it can be implemented next season though.

The Speedway Star reports have become the Daily Star style….dont  let the truth get in the way of a good story.

By the time Wright is fit enough to do two meetings in a week Bears season will be over but I’m glad he’s able to earn some decent wages at last even if it is in Germany-Poland.
