Everyone knew the situation, Cairns was always in the team when he became available so not dropped as they were only on temporary contracts.

Ritchings knew what was going to happen, we dropped Matt Marson as well but he also knew it was only temporary.

Depends who is available to come in if someone is struggling, we stuck with the same team all season in 2025.

Not for me, just trying to save thousands a wasted journey!!

I don't think so.

When is Plymouth Gladiators track shop open over the Christmas period?

Yes Lawson is notorious at doing that, just checked and Batch has a current gsa of 6.80 and a average of 7.59.

Maybe he has learnt from it, hope so for his own sake because he wont last long at Poole if not.

It is a very long time since Batch rode for Poole and of course I realise ex gp riders are on the way down but he must have had some really poor meetings to get to his current average and he does seem to give up when not gating, despite that I do think he is worth including on his current average. I have every sympathy with anyone who has mental issues but if he came back without that baggage he would be a top rider in this league but is he worth the risk.

Experience.

Two ex gp riders who are on the way down and both have attitude issues.

Disagree Batch is nowhere near a number 1 anymore.

Who are these pilots? Easyjet?

Well you could have had Perry but Cluff is better and having ridden a season could improve.

Oxford team look good but still question marks over Riss and Rowe tailed off a bit at the end of last season so no guarantee he will improve much. Killeen and Mcdiarmid should improve a bit but they all have to cover for the weak reserves.

Do not see that at all, Glasgow top 3 are at the very least comparable, reserves are also comparable, I have seen Sam Hagon have some terrific meetings at Poole passing other riders in the process, yes it is possible to make passes at Poole! Hodder has also had good meetings and is improving, our reserves are the key because I would think KJP and Hausl should outscore Gilkes and Bowes any day.

Ok fair enough there is hope for the rest of us then.

Not totally convinced with Hausl but Pedersen could easily put two points on his average in my opinion.

Glasgow had a terrific top 5 especially with the addition of Nagel, Oxford have a good top 5 but nowhere near last season's Glasgow. I think this season's Glasgow are the team to beat especially if Pedersen and Hausl go as well as expected.

Glasgow have a stronger reserves now.

Yes but he was probably carrying an injury, I believe he had an injury mid way through the season and probably did not rest much.

He knew that was always going to happen. I hope he does well.

Yes I would agree, options probably limited, I wouldn't have signed Fraser. No idea who I would have got instead. Lewis did well in the play offs so maybe that tilted the balance in his favour.

Who are these pilots? Zach will be doing a lot of flying next season.

We failed to win the treble, I think that is what he means.
