Lakeside column in the SS suggests 2 new signings!!

So it would seem BV are after Holder - if the latest rumours are to be believed?!

No Barker for Plymouth as he wants to double-up in the EL and avoid too many fixture clashes!!!!!!!!!

Look like Holder wants to come back according to this week's SS - although he needs a break first!! Some so-called Poole 'fans' (mainly those that rarely go any more) are quite anti-Holder and reckon he's not got it in him any more, but for me I hope he's one of the heat leaders

The Poole forum has suggested that Rohan Tungate has been mentioned on twitter and has been pictured on FB in his old Pirates kevlars!!!?

I wasn't passing judgement. Someone asked where the rumour that he might be leaving Coventry started?! With the latest news update about Brandon, you couldn't blame any rider considering elsewhere in order to put a marker down for the following season!!

Only from Bomber himself at the Wolves Olympique meeting when he said 'he was open to offers'!!

The speedway package on a Friday will need to be really top entertainment and value for money as there are so many other weekend leisure pursuits that will be in competition. Fridays - the Weekend starts here.

Rosco mentioned in last week's SS that Friday was a day that the EL was moving towards in a few years - with the co-operation of the FIM and BSI!!!! In the same paragraph he also mentioned that amalgamation would also come in a few years time!!

No more team news at the very well-attended Poole fans (REF) quiz night last night, other than Kyle Newman in attendance. Kyle said he was pleased with the EDR proposals as he wanted to race consistently in tougher races in order to improve. As well as confirming his Plymouth contract, he has also signed again with a Polish Agency to get some regular meetings there. He is looking forward to sitting down with Matt Ford after the AGM next Tuesday.

Well with Bjarne also considering an EL return, maybe it'll be Danish pastries all round??!!

Just as long as there was no Monster and Red Bull conspiracy!!!

Hans won't be a second string!! If - and its a big if - PK elects to ride EL for a full season, then I can't see it being for anyone else than Swindon. In any case, how many Danes do Poole want missing Wednesday meetings?? They are already trying to work the fixtures around Hans' Danish commitments which is hard enough, but for a GP rider as well??????

Just as well he's left Coventry then!!!

Lindback has stated he is looking at the EL in 2016 - depending on whether he gets a GP place?! KK has made it plain he wants EL racing again. Bjarne Pedersen was certainly talking about a 2016 return when chatting to him at Darcy Ward's Benefit meeting. Similarly Shamek wasn't ruling it out either!! Whoever clubs tried to sign or had to sign in 2015 is irrelevant as far as team building for 2016 is concerned.

Has PK stated he wants to do a full EL season now then??

But why replace Magic, Zagar and Kildemand with 5 point men simply to make your argument, when it is just as likely that KK, Lindback, 1xPawlicki, even Miedzinski, Korneliusen, Michelsen, B.Pedersen plus the as yet unknown foreign 6.50 riders could be coming into the list?!

No Watt will be on the list - despite his average being high spending much of the season as a second string.

I disagree with your sums. In 2015 the limit was 40.5 with 2 EDRs totalling an assessed 6.50, leaving 34 for the 1-5 In 2016, if 2 EDR's total 7.5 to 8 points (using the converted PL averages) then that will only leave around 32.5 to 33 for the 1-5 which is less than last year. Incidentally, where has it been said that the Tier 2 reserve will only be 3 points?

Hardly constitutes the 're-build' that Matt Ford has referred to??

So all Zagar's b/s about wanting to stay at BV for the new stadium was exactly that then?? B/S!! Still I expect KK will love it!!

If the Elite Shield is run in 2016. who will be Poole's opponents? Coventry who finished 2nd in the EL table or Belle Vue who finished 2nd in the Play-off final?

Have I missed the bit about Monster signing Doyle, Batchelor and Masters??!

A quote thats been repeated in the local Echo and which prompted Matt Ford's comment that Maciej may very well NOT ride in the UK next season! Holder has already signed for Lejonen in Sweden.

Unless it goes to the SCB or arbitration and is decided otherwise!! Didn't Swindon/Leicester have that issue?
