As I said in an earlier post when it was said that riders should be unattached, I thought this would be very expensive and difficult also some had criticized them for getting Sheffield as their first k o cup meeting. As you have alluded to Poole did not say at any stage they had accepted the invitation and in my opinion the right decision reached. You could have a one off meeting between teams from different leagues but not in a cup competition.

Zaine and Declan Kennedy are poor signings, Simon Lambert had a poor season, Harrison is a good reserve but overall a poor team, can't see them making the play offs.

Scunny look a poor team to me, not sure they will win too many at home either

I will be at Chelsea too funnily enough!

AFC Bournemouth playing so well at the moment I can't see them not being the main story for a while.

Don't you mean Marson although I don't mind a pint of Marstons!

Your reserves shouldn't prove too difficult for him!

After last season and becoming a fans favourite I very much doubt ditching Toby would be an option, he is better than his current average now and likely to improve his average as the season progresses.

If they impress enough to get a 4 there will be teams who will want him and he could be released before his average goes up. It is however highly unlikely that there is a rider who would come in on a 2 and achieve a 4 in a couple of months apart from Cairns himself.

I am sure a 2 pointer would want to put himself in the shop window to get another ride elsewhere when Cairns comes in.

Dont think a non scoring 2 point reserve will cost much!

The reason a complete team is not announced is usually that either they are having trouble finding their preferred option or the signings that have not been released yet are poor and the fans would not like them.

I do not see how there can be an anomaly as he has been announced in the Berwick team and that team is complete.

Of course alot of Poole fans would go but some riders pull bigger crowds.

That is rubbish. Anything to have a go at Poole. Pathetic.

I would say in most teams, Championship heat leaders are middle order Premiership riders.

Not sure it was for his own reasons but I would have thought the choice was Rew for Ellis not Danny.

Yes for Birmingham he should be good but not sure why he would want to leave the league favourites.

Do you not think he may have more improvement than Ellis.

Considering how well Rew seems to be performing, does the Ipswich faithful think it was a mistake letting him go?

Personally do not think the EFL trophy is comparable as it is open to all Premier League and Championship u21 teams to play against League one and league two teams.

I dont really know why giving a team a bye is so bad, far more credible than having a team from a lower league in it. As you say it would not happen in football

How would that work then? We have to have riders of Premiership heat leader quality. Very difficult and expensive to draft in riders who are unattached.

Well at least they are both ex Poole riders.

Its a business model that works. Championship same crowds as Premiership and cheaper to run so why worry about the top league .
