But it is likely to be before your lot

Na he is also busy organising the sending out of thousands of League Champions items to all the fans for Christmas.

Thought it would be about time you recommended M J Jensen, like you always used to.

But Poole already have a number 1 rider in Brady

But will that reduce his average for 2019 so that he can then, if things stay the same, get a team place.

Are you sure ?

Seems to be par for the bspa

Who knows, this change in team build restrictions might bring on more Brit riders or it could backfire and turn more supporters away.

It is not the team limit that is the issue it is the allowed build up of the team be it top heavy or stronger lower down.

It will be so good if this rule backfires on a couple of posters clubs. I would be posting the same if any rider was forced out of a job.

It was mainly the few so called Poole idiots who post crap on many threads who mentioned it.

Add to this how many youngsters who wear a certain riders top, race jacket or cap, and family who have paid for them, will now give up and stop attending so often. They are unlikely to buy rider gear again.

Not a bad guess. Seriously great news and signings, two riders who did well this year and will improve next. Two good riders we need in the team. I wonder if like Poole Swindon are building up to a squad system for the future.

If that is the case then the 4H and 4A rides needed to get an average will be a bit pointless as there will only be a total of 7H and 7A all season. I suppose they could include all the micky mouse competition meetings

I would prefer if Brits improved and there were enough riders for two over 8 for each team but it will not happen if each year the bspa vote in rules that force good riders up and leave.

Would be a good start, if it is him or a rider starting with Z

In that case bring in an 8+ rider from elsewhere, BV or Wolves might be happy to do a swap of a rider for a year. I just hope Rosco is thinking various options through. You have to remember that often the bspa do not really think decisions through.

Good point

Was just going to post if that rule was still in place. In that case bring in another top rider.

Anders cannot ride PL till his birthday in I think May. You are thinking along the right lines, but would Rosco. As I posted earlier we only need to win a meeting by a couple of points and that might result in Nicks average dropping below 8.

It is for any rider who rode his nuts off last year and achieved an average of 8+ and now because of a stupid decision has to give up a team place and may not be signed up by another team. Well in 2018 you are going to see quite a lot of average manipulation rather than flat out team racing as some of next years top riders will not want to be unemployed in 2019. Also I would be posting this even if it was not a Swindon rider who might lose out.

Or if, for whatever reason, we had Nick instead of Jason that would give .8 of a point more for a lower order rider.

Not dumbed down "much" still means being dumbed down.

Looking at the dumbing down of the teams again it is leading to one big league plus NL.

We need Jason as I bought one of his caps last season
