Its often very difficult to make any sense of what you wrote!! Just for a bit of balance -again - not ALL Poole fans are fed up with Starman, just 3 or 4 rather vocal forum members who don't seem to like their posts being disagreed with!! The Poole forum moderator has warned everyone to stop making their posts too personal - its a shame he's not one of the moderators on here occasionally!!

4.93. but he only retained his assessed average of 4.00 WHEN HE RODE FOR POOLE THE YEAR BEFORE.

That's right. Its only some/most SGP, Torun, Piraterna, Poole and Aussie fans that like him!!

No one rider won the league for Poole. Newman and Janowski both had good seasons, the latter especially when he stepped up as captain, but every rider except our 2nd reserve(s) had some superb victories as part of the usual team effort. Its a good team ethic that is created and continued at Poole - and probably at Torun and Piraterna too? - which sees Poole assets regularly in the home pits giving encouragement and helping out mechanically. Riders like Holder who only rode for a month, Ward even when suspended, plus the likes of Watt, Pedersen etc whenever they weren't racing elsewhere. Anyway this thread is about Darcy Ward in the SGP section, not Poole!!

You have to give GRW a bit of slack - now that the heat formula is out and he's checked that Buster is in a positive frame of mind, his attention has to be turned elsewhere!!

No, that'll only possibly be option 5!!!

People can quote all the 'rules' they like, but at the end of the day it will be 'at the BSPA MC's discretion'!!!

The riders ARE available - just not got visas through yet - so what's wrong with announcing them in the 1-7? Every club has a deadline to announce their teams before the BSPA officially 'declare' them (or not?). If its just a time issue, I'm sure the BSPA will be very supportive of any/all teams in any league affected by the visa issues!! After all nobody yet knows what new criteria might have been agreed with the UKVI re 'migrant riders'?

You know we don't do fireworks at Poole - Not a ghost of a chance!!

What DO you mean 'even skidder'??? I'm almost offended now!!

They could sign him at the start of the day!! That would give this forum more time to bleat about it!!

In case they might have to make another change????

Neither. If its another Pole alongside Magic it needn't be a new one!! Yes - its in the new regs.

Can only have max 2 x 7+ pointers.

Holder and Batchelor too -if the new visas allow them?!

Maybe another young Pole??

He didn't though, did he? And nobody knows that he would have done by the time of his first race! Just saying....

I wasn't necessarily only thinking about the final rider!!

. Dudek is appealing his ban having served only 6 months. Whichever team option MF goes with, unless something dramatically changes, they will not include Pontus Aspgren!! The application went off last weekend.

That may not be as clear cut as it seems!!!

Good to see your old sparring partner Steve Shovlar one of only 12 comments on the Echo article - or maybe its not really him either as he seems to be agreeing with the 45 day opinion!!? ps. for those that are on twitter, they will have seen Darcy's tweet this morning that both he and his lawyer were/are aware of the 45 day rule but were informed differently at the hearing after advising of the UK visa issues!! I'm not on twitter either but the tweet is on the www.piratecastlive.com home page twitter feed. (nb the website is the unofficial fan site but has loads of followers).

Yes but Plymouth are still awaiting their new 'Migrant Sponsor Licence' as the previous one granted on 30th Jan had to be surrendered along with every other club! Hopefully today's UKVI compliance visit will be as successful as Poole's last Friday, so that both Holders can travel over together?!

...but only 9 pages on this occasion!!!!!

You can't expect all rules/regs to be totally clear KN1?! This is speedway after all!! Although 15.14.3 does state 'No reserve switches', but could be better worded.
