Wasn't the multiplier going to increase by 0.1 every season until it reached 2 so that doubling up would be reduced 🤣

I think the selection of Starke at the expense of Foord speaks volumes for the panic stations at Wimborne Road. I’m not buying the agenda that Poole are protecting their image; what Poole are doing is neglecting the future of the sport for what they see as an ageing diamond in the rough. The suggestion that machinery was the issue doesn’t wash. I could have pedalled around Ashfield faster than Starke did last season.

The problem is that its a results based business and if Rider A doesn't have the kit and Rider B does they will get picked even if A has more ability.  Then its over to the promotors, even at NL the requirement is to arrive with 2 bikes of good standard therefore a van is required and it goes on.  The sport should be easier and more accessible to get into but with track time limited and the weasel actively shutting down training schools/amateur events whats the point? Could anyone hand on heart say to parents of a child looking to go into a form of motorsport that speedway is the best option?

Maybe I read it wrong but on maybe X or FB, Dave Norris said Vinnie's machinery wasn't his, it was borrowed from other people. Maybe @FishersGate would know? 

You raise a good point, I'm thinking of end of season averages, so they might not have gained a point by July. However I'd still expect Poole to be above 40 by then. Kerr's average should in theory go down, as he drops his high scoring Oxford '23 figures & retains his lower scoring Berwick '24 figures. Starke should do the opposite, as he drops his low scoring Birmingham '23 & Glasgow '24 scores, but retains his higher Workington '24 scores. I'm sure Poole's master plan, is to drop the "temporary two pointer" for Cairns, as he along with the top 6 are good enough to win the title.

Starke even past his best is well capable of sticking a point on his average and possibly two.  Vinnie may have fitted average wise but not with the club image. Big crashes, unable to finish meetings due to no machinery and the crowd incident are all not in keeping with the clubs professional outlook.
