Yes, they have, but if Kildemand were to come back on his last average of 7.1 he would be an absolute bargain, especially with his entertainment value. More of a steal than Woryna.

Yes, he was right to and no problem with that - and even for me as a Swindon fan Rosco is totally annoying - but Buster came across as utterly charmless, off-hand and ignorant. A terrible attitude for the chairman of the BSPA. He should have been pleasant and enthusiastic. Jim Lynch and Muddlo have come in for a lot of criticism but they always have a smile for the camera and a positive attitude. Up your game or stick to your tractor, Buster!

Buster came across as a horrid character, prickly and spiteful.

Maybe Kyle Newman to guest for him?

Nope, that's the end of your era. Poole will be back to also-rans now. No number one: Darcy, KK, Bjarne, Magic, Watt, Chris Holder all gone and the rules have caught up with Matt.

Yes, you're right, Swindon "look" like a slightly better Championship side in the way that Sheffield look like a weak Leicester team! Leicester would walk the Championship, which I guess means Swindon are miles better!

The rest of us will be supporting Glasgow!

Unless you're also saying that the same applies to someone's dad, that is sexist. You should be ashamed.

You buy it & we'll drink it!

Trouble is, all your assets are so long in the tooth it's likely to be Janet Street-Porter!

It's looking all a bit THIS YEAR. Crap. Don't say we didn't tell you.

Thanks for that, Steve, a cast iron case that he should return on an 8 point average!

Sorry to everyone for repeating this diatribe, but why could you not have been more objective and accepted that he has from time to time CHEATED and it is that, rather than jealousy, that annoys so many fans.

Brilliant post, helping the ordinary fans to understand riders. Normally we all just look at their scores and brand them "crap" from time to time with no appreciation of what they're going through! Thanks, DWP.

Nope, they best spend a couple of hours getting their arses kicked cos that's what's happening for the rest of the season!!!!

Would the Bees have made the play offs? K Bjerre 9.11 Bates 5.3 L Bjerre 5.87 Garrity 6 (apparent PL average) King 6.53 Kerr 4.3 Sargeant 4.34 (1.2 CL conversion) 41.45 Looking at the current PL team averages they would be sixth, below Poole & Somerset, but possibly under pressure from Rye now they have KK. King's average is poor.

Happy to have Jack back if he commits to all UK fixtures, which would mean Poole only if he is to ride in Poland. We shouldn't allow anyone riding on a UK licence to miss our fixtures.

Agreed. Crazy. Boro are selling the league short. It's taking the pee out of fans home and away. Ban him and don't allow him back next year. Send the same message to all league riders, especially Aussies: you commit to the UK or you stand on your own elsewhere.

No Jack Holder again today for Peterborough as he rides in Poland and Boro get thrashed and no news of any fine for Boro agreeing a cosy fee with Torun last week. What is British speedway coming to? Jack shouldn't be allowed both to further his career and to use British speedway when it's convenient - he should do one or the other. And British promoters shouldn't sit by and accept pathetic weakened teams week after week at the expense of the paying punters.

Musielak is not a Polish no. 1 Poole are welcome to Woryna, he'll do about as well as Buczkowski, and I hope he knows he'll be just another rider on the Poole conveyor belt of dumped riders, like Mrozcka. He'll get no loyalty from them. I'd rather my club, Swindon, stay loyal to club assets than adopt Ford's attitude of squeezing every last advantage out of the averages for short term gain, another of Ford's win at all costs characteristics that makes other clubs dislike him rather than admire him

Oh, brill, thanks. For me, he was the most talented speedway rider ever.

Has he been back on twitter to clarify that and to say he meant no offence to the thousands of British fans who have supported him?

At there it is, thinking you're better than others. People who make a claim to class rarely have it. Poole are the nouveau riche of speedway, the footballers' wives, all ostentation and bad taste.

No they won't. Poole are doomed!

They're all members of the Poole 30-60 Club! Come on, print those t-shirts!
