Riders come and go at clubs. I remember Holder missing British speedway and riding abroad before instead. He spent a lot of time slagging off the British tracks including Poole so might not be a bad thing for him as now he doesn't have to ride them. As for Ward, if he turns his back on the club that he's meant to love and who have helped him so much just because they can't fit one of his friends in then he needs to grow up.

One night yes, what about a whole season like 2015 😉 On a 10 average yes. With him and Jack signed, you have 32 left for your other 5 riders

When was the last time you watched him at Coventry 😂 Hardly gets around easy. http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/15837/coventry-poole-el-15-2016

Terrible number 1. He's really bad on some tracks.

Good news for the rest of us then 😉

I wonder if Swindon will waste points again on Nick Morris

Klindt to Swindon is the latest rumour

MJJ maybe

Why Wolves Poolebolton?

Really hope Belle Vue run next year. One of the best tracks in the country

Jack Holder confirmed for Poole (7.16)

Bit of a risk on a 7+ average for his first year in the EL but I guess time will tell. Shame for Holder but to be fair he did spend a lot of time moaning about the British tracks including Pooles. The question is, if Poole aren't willing to sign Holder on a 12 average, will they attempt to sign KK who is only 1pt lower or go for somebody like Hans?

I have to say I agree. Would much rather have KK for Coventry but only if there is less fixture clashes. It is a possibility but depends if he wants to ride here next year. He also has a 11+ average

Looks like the rumours about his arguement might be true. If that's the case then I can't see him at Coventry either

Have you watched Garrity much last year? In his last 6 meetings for the bees he scored 7,16 ,7, 11, 13, 11 with injuries so more than capable of scoring up to his average and that was in the main team. He's using his 8+ PL average which he earnt so not inflated. With teams looking to be even weaker this year, he should average that again easily. I like Rory but I think the 3 above have declined over the last 3 years whilst Garrity is young and improving. Rory's injuries have sadly affected his riding a lot. As for Batchelor, I hope you sign him as will mean we don't. He won't race if there's a few drops of rain and spends a lot of time giving up at the back if he's not out the gate fast now. He was a good rider but his negative attitude gets in the way

Not really. Garrity is a PL number 1 and earns his EL average riding in the top 5 all season and that was carrying injuries for most of the season. He is capable of scoring his average. I'm hoping he's back at Coventry

PIRATES IN SEARCH FOR NEW SPONSOR 8th November 2016 As British speedway heads into a new era,Poole chief Matt Ford is on the search for a new main team sponsor for the 2017 season The two-year deal with Readypower, a plant hire company, is heading towards its conclusion and company owners Rick Frost and Julie Mahoney have intimated that they will playing a less active role in speedway and have chosen not to extend the arrangement. Poole boss Matt Ford admitted "Our association with Readypower was a very good arrangement and working with Rick and Julie was an absolute pleasue and I can't thank them enough for the support that they have given us. But as with many things in life the good doesn't last for ever and they have chosen to take a step back and so we now have an opening for another company to become involved with us." "We are keen to hear from any organisations that feel they might be able to offer us sponsorship in exchange for plenty of advertising and exposure. Our main team partners will become part of the team's name and through our television associates we can gain publicityin the region of 150 countries. Whether it be the Mediterranean or the Pacific Rim, we are shown live and our main sponsor is always prevalent by name, which we extend through all media outlets. Any company or individual seeking further information should telephone Poole Speedway on 01202 681145 or email information@poolepirates.co.

Garrity is a PL number one and capable of scoring that average. I would have him over Ellis any day of the week

Exactly. If Poole thought he was that good and had lots of potential then they could have kept him on a 7average. Why should rules be changed for them. They are lucky Newman is so poor in the PL and still only on a 6 average as they wouldn't have kept him if on a 8+ one

With the Premiership and Championship looking to use 2pt riders, this could have an effect on NL and how much the riders are missing

On a 7+ average which would see him riding as a heatleader?

Shame for Ellis but no club will touch him on that average. He isn't really capable of scoring it each week in the main team. I guess his downfall was settling for the easier rides of the NL rather than riding in the PL which would have helped his average for this year. Can he still ride NL next year or is his average too high now it's been inflated?

Sorry didn't realise it was unofficial. Just saw the title and headline they were using

It's been confirmed by SpeedwayGB account on Twitter that there is no limit to how many Double up riders a team has this year. However if a team has a lot then they risk clashes.

King has said he definitely wants to ride for Ipswich next year and from recent interviews with Chris Louis, I think that will happen. Owning somebody's contract means nothing if they want to race elsewhere. Look at Kerr, Adrian, Shamak and Batchelor Is it confirmed that only 2 D/U riders are allowed in a team? If so that's going to be really hard for team building, esp when 2 Brits must be included and most teams need low average riders due to points limit.
