You are incorrect Gavan - get over it on another thread!!

Buzz has to be a heat leader. His is the highest of the averages of the Poole riders signed so far - Buzz 6.48; Hans 6.45; Brady 5.24.

I don't care what any list, riding position or the stats say - North is not yet a heat leader!! Trust me, having watched him in every home meeting this year, he is not yet a heat leader and would be a risk for any club having him as one in 2016.

This is part of Matt's longer term plan to 'rebuild' for the future and probably the worst kept secret around Poole bearing in mind MF announced his interest back in May!!. Brady (and Jack Holder) have been regulars at Wimborne Road this season - which again is not surprising as he lodges with Middlo. I guess Brady will start at 2 and he and Kyle will do a bit of alternating between 2nd string and reserve. Quite a brave move for Brady with no doubling down/up!!! I think 2016 will see a bit of 'consolidation' by Poole - maybe giving some of the other teams a chance to win something.

Wolves fans delighted at getting a new signing - 'Fast' Freddie!!!

And Kurtz to Poole 5.24

North is not a heat leader (yet!).

Anyone hear Mr Hemsley on Radio Leicester at 6.15 ish this evening?? Anything interesting come out of it?

Kurtz at reserve after 4 meetings wouldn't be too bad I suppose?! I can't see Piotr Pawlicki wanting to do EL in his first SGP season?! Shamek seemed quite keen on a return at Darcy's benefit meeting?! Matt said he couldn't fit Starkey in at reserve (hence Ellis on 3) to stay under the 40.5 so its anyone's guess what the final line-up will be??!

That's not what I said!!

Will Doyley's average still be 9.44, as he only achieved that figure riding for Leicester?? (joke) Seriously if Swindon's new track coming on stream in May/June, won't that mean lots of fixtures being crammed into GP weeks?

If and when an asset is transferred or a new signing made - it doesn't necessarily mean that the rider will be in the team for the next season?!

Poole didn't fiddle anything to get Newman back - he is their protected asset!!

....because as I stated earlier my post was in direct response to GRW's!!

Sits back in shock and amazement!!! His next announcement will then start the domino effect with other clubs and riders.....! EDIT: Oh good didn't have to wait long - Swindon it is!!

Every team has to stipulate its 'rain-off' night - its often within the club details section on their respective websites. In Wolverhampton's case its listed as Wednesdays!!!!

My perfectly sane post was in direct response to GRWs attempt at blaming Matt Ford/Poole for most of Speedway's ills - in particular falling attendances. Please tell me what is incorrect in my post. If clubs get their best attendances when Poole visit - because they are 'the team to beat' - then these other EL club promoters need to get their respective fingers out of their backsides and start building stronger teams!!! As for the forum Poole troll Gavan talking about his visits to Ipswich??! - Totally irrelevant to this argument on the Poole/Coventry thread in the EL section.

If that were true and if Matt Ford/Poole were indeed at fault all the time, then one would expect Poole's attendances to fall, whereas in fact they have at worst remained stable and for the past 2 years shown an increase. Surprisingly, if what you say has any factual basis then all the other EL teams would experience low attendances when Poole visit - which they don't!! All EL clubs have their best attendances (weather permitting) whenever Poole are the opponents. Just ask Mick Horton, Terry Russell, Jon Cook, Chris Morton etc etc. Any fall off in attendances at other clubs is down to a combination of poor facilities, poor value for money and a lack of local marketing/promotion!!

'Its what young lads of that age do'!! I'm sure I've heard that somewhere before!!!!?

I doubt they will announce a fixture list until all clubs' financial issues have been sorted and they've been granted licences again (or not?).

Maybe some of the changes announced after Part 1 of the AGM have been re-thought during the 'cooling off' period before Part 2 of the AGM. Just as an example, Matt Ford has stated that he is looking for both reserves to be challenging for a place in the 1-5. That could of course mean that Poole are going top-heavy and will have at least one duff 2nd string?!

Can someone please tell him not to put riders at risk by allowing them to line up without goggles!!

What have I missed? Whats happening at Poole? Have we got another title-winning 1-7 again? Are crowds up more than expected? Have we got more sponsors on board? What have I missed.....??

If there were only 24 riders on the list (as some have suggested - but nobody knows for sure) then neither KK, both Pawlickis nor Buzz wouldn't have been on the list as they didn't ride here in 2015!!

In all previous years the BSPA AGM hadn't even been held yet!!!!
