Those rumoured reserves are everything that’s wrong with championship speedway

Why is that? Lightcap rode for Poole last season at reserve. If the averages fit what is the issue?

Because ideally it should be young Brits only at reserve in our second division.

Are there 18 young Brits in a position to do that?

I don't think so, initially it'd have to be one and possibly by average rather than age but with a bit of planning and tightening the gap between NL and Champ it could be achieved over a short period.

Essentially the rules shouldn't really permit a 40 year old Brit and an American to be reserves at this level.And thats no slight on Poole themsleves who will have three young Brits in their top five.

There are just not enough young riders coming through, most ndl teams have riders who are not youngsters anymore. I did say earlier that I would prefer a stronger established number 5 and a weaker reserve which would no doubt be a young brit.  Poole are obviously not against young brits as we have two already in the team.

May help if Poole and other teams have a youth development policy, one Dorset youngster travelled to and now signed for Redcar to ride Speedway and another travels from Cornwall to Cumbria to ride in youth NJL meetings as nowhere nearer runs these
