...and whether that list is as now or after the 2.5% discount has been applied.

Last year it was after (allowing Workington to sign Craig Cook on 7.99). Currently 10 riders would be above 8 for next year, including Kyle Howarth. 8.00 was chosen last year as that was the top 9 riders being spread across 9 teams. So it could work that way again this year (I've not heard anything either way).

Would only mean Poole losing someone (as Klindt is currently unattached). Berwick and Plymouth had no one finish over 8 (after a 2.5% reduction in Scott Nicholls average)

Kye Thomson, Leon Flint, Sam Masters, Zack Cook, Richard Lawson, Charles Wright, Nikolai Klindt, Josh Pickering and Jonas Jeppesen. Plus the now retired Kyle Howarth

Any brit between 8.00 and 8.20 would go below 8 after a 2.5% reduction (Scott Nicholls and Bomber)

Baffles me that people keep suggesting every year that Bomber will sign for Poole. The man loves blasting round the fence in the deep dirt, I genuinely think a bit of his soul dies when he turns up to super slick tracks with next to no dirt on them. I reckon Bomber would quit rather than ride on a home track as slick as Wimborne Road every week.

Equally spending nearly 8 points signing a rider like Bomber doesn't fit Poole's business model these days. They want better gaters in their team. 

1. Poole fans love Bomber despite him riding for Glasgow. He has best reception on parade for an away rider.

2. He has already been a Poole rider in 2018. So he has already agreed to ride it on a weekly basis before!

3. Maybe if Poole signed him they would prep the track for him, so win-win. 🙃😉

Some of these riders mentioned may have a hard decision to make if Poland insist the polish league and 1 other league rule is in place, take Zac, rides in Poland belle Vue and Poole, one of these will have to go, other riders like masters and Thompson etc will be in the same boat

Is it actually official that Kyle has retired? Or did he just take a break?
