Rumour going around we’ve (The 2023 Championship champions and owners of the greatest track in world speedway) approached Cairns and Rushen for 2027.

Make of that what you will.

As Poole haven’t completed their season yet would this not be a breach of rules?

While I like the idea of clubs having to have an U21 Brit & an U24 Brit (don't think they should have to be at reserve) if a club was clever & signed the best 4 U21s (Rushen, Cairns, Harrison, Scott) then instead of another club having to use the 9th best U21, it'd be the 12th best.

Maybe they might do it like the rising Star in the top league, where the available riders are listed, and clubs get a reverse finish pick, bottom of league 1st 🤔 so worky finished 2nd bottom, can I choose who's left from cairns or Rushen for the Comets 🤣

Nope. See for yourself:

Rule 14.7 (b) - Club Superiority Exemption

A club may approach any rider contracted to another club where it can demonstrate that it has:

A. a superior racing track; and

B. more handsome supporters

In such circumstances, normal restrictions on rider approaches shall not  apply.

Fair enough can’t argue with that 😂

As riders are no longer assets of a club, which rules are they breaking?

Unless the rule is "you can't approach a rider until after the season has finished".

So, what are the rules ?

I'm sure every club approaches them two tbh. But interesting Glasgow's answer to their bad team building is to take Poole riders lol. Smart.

With both of their overseas commitments next year, I can't see either going to a Friday track! (Unless of course Glasgow are going Prem?)

While there are no assets, riders and clubs still have a contract with each other.   This is usually for one season, but could in fact be more.

Although we all know it happens, a club should not approach a rider (nor a rider approach a club) until the active contract expires.

Wouldn't make much of it!

Well we know Will hadn’t been offered a team place at Poole as of last week, which would make me think he won’t be back. Which is a big shame as I’d of had him back, but his average is high, higher than Rowe. Although I’d of preferred Will over Cooper. On their averages you’d have to say Cooper is a better opportunity. Can’t see Poole letting both Will and Cooper go

Will said it himself live on stream last week. Said he doesn’t know if he’s back here next season

Common knowledge that Cairns won’t be at Poole and that Rushen wants to have a better track for his home berth 

It’s a mockery of the sport that Poole don’t move up …

Poole need Wednesday nights and financial security. 
Championship offer both. The prem does not

But there is the potential of having Weds in the prem next season. It is doable if Poland stick to their one other league stance.
