  1. 7 x 3-3; 3 x 4-2; 3 x 5-1; 1 x 1-5; 1 x 3-5; plenty of decent racing with particularly Riss and King finding the track eminently suitable in heat 15!!
  2. Klindt's 'real' average from his 3H/5A meetings as a reserve is 6.70. He's been given a new average of 6.36 which I can only presume takes account of his next anticipated home meeting score as a 2nd string whilst carrying an injury?!
  3. With the reduced admission prices including kids free, a big (ger) crowd is expected. All newcomers and many regulars should be prepared for the long queues while pockets and bags are emptied and searched!!
  4. Yawn. My week's holiday - chosen not enforced - was such a welcome break, but now back to reality!!!
  5. Zengi is/was on a minimum 28 day cover for KK. He's been given a 'new' average - effective 23/6/17 - of 7.79, which would see him drop to Poole's 3rd heat leader spot on Monday's TV meeting - whether that sees him score more readily we shall see?! KK was last night rumoured to be returning in July on his revised average of 9.23 which would see the team reshuffled again with KK replacing Brady at 1
  6. That's a fair point re Riss even though it was only r/r - still a facility!!
  7. Kyle Newman is the permanent replacement for Ayres for the Lions
  8. Nicolai has advised via social media that he hopes to be fit for Monday's TV meeting. If he isn't then it'll be r/r as he's now in the 2-5 with the new averages, with Paul Starke at reserve and Brady Kurtz at 1. ...and BV tracking new signing Rohan Tungate in place of the sacked Sedgeman (I bet theres been an absolute outcry amongst Aces fans - although maybe not!!)
  9. Also Starke was voted the meeting sponsors' Rider of the Night' tonight!! Ideal for his confidence before he slots in at reserve from Monday!!
  10. Well Starkey will be at reserve on Monday with Nic hoping to return on Monday in the 1-5. Going by the new averages on the BSPA site Brady will be Number 1 and probably Nic at 2; Zengi at 3; Jack at 4 and Hans staying at 5. Pure speculation on my part....!
  11. To put a 'new' signing at 2 to partner a number 1 who is still not sure of the track or set-up would be crazy in my view. Until Friday at least, GZ must be at 1 with the other 2 heat leaders and both 2nd Strings riding anywhere 2-5. Come Monday if all riders had done their 4H and 4A meetings (which they haven't yet) then the riding order would almost certainly be different. Lets see.
  12. I hope all the Poole fans in attendance this evening give a good supportive welcome (back) to Paul Starke! None of whats gone on or said in the past 10 days or so is down to him so he deserves full Pirate support - as do the rest of the team!! ps. with all the anticipated dry dust this evening, for those not able to see or recognise Starkey and who don't wish to move away from Bends 1-2, he'll be wearing the Number 3 race jacket apparently!!
  13. How can you have more than one team building points limit?? How can you have riders with impossible to achieve assessed starting averages? How....? Shall I go on? It'll suit some riders/clubs more than others depending on how the riders/team are doing!!
  14. Its hardly the Polish riders' fault is it!! Having said that any Saturday team signing a Pole is taking a bigger risk......!!
  15. Any truth in the whisper that Kyle Newman might be guesting for the Lions??!! ;-) ps. I've been out of the country for a little over a week so just picking up on things!!
  16. The BSPA had their meeting yesterday (Monday) which is why so many attended the British Final!!!! New averages are effective this Friday (23/06/17) I understand. Riders that have not yet completed 4H/4A will remain on their starting average - unless their team/promoter wishes to redeclare.. In that case I imagine that the BSPA will use a formula based on the average of the actual scores in meetings each rider has ridden and the starting average!! Obviously any redeclaration must then fit within 42 points although I assume like-for-like single replacements will still be allowed.
  17. Yes with no Poole meeting this week and Brady wanting to impress his Aussie Team Manager, it makes sense.
  18. If Poole redeclare then his average could be reassessed. In the meantime KK's 11.01 remains intact for a while yet.
  19. Klindt's done 7.47 for his 3 home meetings - more than adequate, and Poole have taken at least a point from every away SGBP meeting with Nicolai on 6.27 - better than any other reserve I believe and better than several 2nd strings!!
  20. Why 'unfortunately'?? Well it is Leicester so the crowd is likely to be a bit down anyway!!
  21. Starke for Newman has been announced! Klindt 'should be cleaning up at reserve but isn't'??!! Really?! Anyway he's injured and the earliest he'll be back is 2-3 weeks and even then is unlikely to be fully fit. Shanes has increased his 2.00 average - just - so deserves to be kept as one of the NL eligible riders.
  22. The rule is only if a team redeclares ie makes more than one change at once. 'Like for like' changes are acceptable at any time within the team points total except after 31st July!! However it will be interesting to see whether Starke comes in on his 5.62 average or his 4H/4A average of 4.12??
  23. Every team has to retain 2xNL eligible riders!! Plus there is no way Milik's average would fit if replacing Kyle!!
  24. That line-up doesn't fit into the 42 point limit. KK would remain on 11.01 til he's done 4H/4A - unless he is reassessed by the BSPA if Poole wish to redeclare (according tp the rules) - the other 'new' averages would be JH 6.11; BK 9.00; HA 8.51; Przedpelski 7.00(?); JS 2.13 and we'd still need a 7th rider!!! Nicolai is talking about requiring surgery on his knee but he intends to defer this til the end of the season. He is hoping that 2-3 weeks of intensive physio and muscle work will allow him to race again - BUT that's a big risk imho especially as he would be in the 1-5 by then. ps. Also (as I keep banging on about it in Gavanesque mode), we still have to retain 2 riders who are or were eligible for the NL!! Maybe Paul Hurry?! pps. back to last night, with Middlo unavailable, well done to Team Manager Matt Ford!! Excellent motivator.
