Can't disagree with any of your comments SteveHols54. The THJ suggestion was reported from Australia as being 'general knowledge' and I can only think that MF may be after a reduction on his average due to his injuries and the fact he didn't ride here in 2019. Even the slightes reduction would mean alittle more scope for the final reserve. It may of course have something to do with fixture clashes or simply come down to money with MF building to a strict budget for 2020 and the latest option being cheaper?! Still I quite like the thought of two Aussie reserves - depending on how the Aussie championships pan out?!

The riders announced so far all qualify for the 2.5% reduction on their final official averages as they rode or were qualified to ride in the NL. The same will apply to our number 5 when announced. I know who one of the 4 point reserves is supposed to be. And there is much very strong rumour from the Australian meetings that a foreign (non-aussie) rider would be at 4 leaving the final reserve which may well depend on Aussie championships performances. The team plans have changed a little as they always do.

Poole don't need 4 riders (although they may still need to sign one!) - they just haven't announced them all yet!! Its always a staggered process upto and over Christmas.

The 2019 SCB regulations (Clause 16.2.1) state that in the Championship, League Table and Shield Table meetings count towards the CMA but NOT play-offs.

So 7.8 with the 2.5% discount?!

So nobody in 2019 then?

Name some Danes who have come in on 5.2

NSW title: J.Holder C.Holder J.Pickering Z.Cook

I know I was just trying to prove DiCk2 wrong and forgot what section I was in!!

Already announced Neilsen at 2.!!

Jacobsen came in on an assessed 4 in 2018.

What about a new young Dane?

How come? Thought you were a Swindon supporter?!

So you disagree with your club's owner and Promoters then?

Bull rubbish. He's not trying to finance both. He's in a partnership.. He's not even building a hotel. He's helping to renovate a chateau. If he's that desperate for cash then he would have accepted any offer - and there were some!! Why would you put your son in charge of something that couldn't make money and why would his son give up his full time day job if there wasn't money to be made?

One of the many.

Signed but not announced yet.

Maybe none of the so-called speedway fans are but the promoters certainly are!!

Matt Ford still owns the club and has signed all the riders for 2020. Who is he supposedly 'betraying'?

Who are the 5 if it's just 2 reserves left to announce?

Chris Holder's been out of British speedway for long enough and together with all the injuries he's suffered he'll get a 30%reduction on his converted average and will skipper the side!

Hohoho.

I'm sure it'll coincide with the Echo's press deadline for Thursday's editions ie sometime today before about 10pm!! MF tries to avoid any major AFCB news coverage in the Echo or on local radio. The previous notification was down to me. The club said at the time that the next announcement (Neilsen) 'would be in 4-5 days time'! I went for 4 days ie Tuesday but clearly miscounted and it was Wednesday. As explained earlier to L-C, today Wednesday 4th was mentioned by Matt as the next rider announcement in an email to all sponsors who he is meeting with this week on a flying visit from France.

The so-called 'fixed race nights' in the Premiership are really 'priority race nights' so that Premiership teams - especially those on Monday TV (assuming thats what Eurosport still want?) - aren't missing riders who may be doubling down in the Championship.

That's what MF put in his email to sponsors!!
