Not missing the point at all. I agree with SCB's post. PL averages should not have been used - BUT THEY WERE - and we have to get on with it. My point was whether PL or a %EL figure was used, I do not see how that gives Poole any greater advantage in their Tier 2 choice, having selected Ellis on 3 points?! Yes a better way imo would have been to use a % of their EL averages for the Tier 1 riders - but then you would have various posters complaining that the % should have been different!!

Surely the reason why PL averages were used was because they were the most real for everyone involved. All the EL averages were either inflated or deflated due to the EL protected race format. If Newman was either top or 2nd in the Tier 1 list (excluding Garrity) then why would Poole have had 2nd pick in the Tier 2 selection? As I said By the time Poole's choice came around they chose the best 3.00 still available, whose other fixtures only had minimal clashes.

Just to keep it real, can you please publish the photo in sepia!!

Give 'em a chance. The AGM part 2 only finished on Tuesday evening with some changes to what had been proposed at Part 1. Then they all had to go to London to ,meet the Politicians. They get rightly criticised for making announcements too quickly and leaving important details out. Lets hope that the extra time means that when the official statement comes, its a full and detailed explanation and something the new chairman is happy to put his name to?!. Lets not forget as fans we're still a couple of weeks in advance of previous seasons!!

If clubs can't build to the points limit, its their own fault - nobody elses.

So KL protected Kerr - why didn't they go for Ellis as their 2nd tier pick was before Poole??! You're just coming out with the usual b/s without knowing the facts

Its not only Rzeszow though is it?! That's why so many riders are hesitating to put pen to paper!!!

Finance shouldn't be an issue - Mick said he could get £2mill together quite quickly!!!

I just knew that Ann Dora was a two-timer!!!!!!!!

After protecting Kyle Newman, Matt Ford was always going to go for the best 3.00 reserve available in order to fit the rest of his proposed 1-7 within the points limit. It happened to be Ellis , with whom he'd already checked availability! Its why he didn't go for Starke (3.60) again.

Kindly explain how Poole benefitted in 2014?? Newman (protected as a Poole asset) plus a succession of - no disrespect - no-hopers?!

But one is a fact and the other is 'pie in the sky'!!!

So is Norwich!!

Does the same thing apply to Kerr and Rose at Kings Lynn??

Kings Lynn?????

Hope you didn't lose too much money PoP!!!

I actually think Leicester have the best reserve pairing!!!

I'm sure these 3 are seen as the future for all young speedway riders!!!!!??

It could be a lot more awkward if he said something else!!

Apparantly a certain Dane has a 'Fans Forum' evening in Norfolk this evening!! Hopefully he'll clarify his intentions for 2016.

I thought BV were going Wednesdays in GP weeks and Fridays for the rest.

Maybe all will become a little clearer this evening??!!

I admire your optimism SB. Go and have a lie-down and you can carry on with your dreaming!!

I thought GB riders were being allowed in 2016 - or is that just for the Pairs??

Oooooh, touch a nerve did I? ha ha ha
