Had a average from 2017. Ruling was for riders who didn't ride in the UK last year. If Chris didn't do Britain in 2017 then yes a 9.00 would be fair because that is the ruling but luckily he rode for KL for a while

The whole Sport is. Rob Godfrey gets let off when clearly he was at fault for Jack Holder. I wonder why he gets to walk free. Every GP rider a 9.00 who didn't ride here in 2017 except for Vaculik. Don't care if Martin has never ridden here before fact is the ruling is EVERY GP RIDER a 9.00 If I'm being completely honest because I'm not a 2 faced person we have gotten away with Szczepaniak's average seeing as this average was attained years ago and he is a completely different rider now. You have a bunch of unrealistic average assessments in the Championship Joel Andersson for example who is clearly much better than the assessment. The whole thing is corrupt tbh

Speedway is just corrupt period. All GP riders 9.00 except Vaculik. Come on now.

This is Speedway and the BSPA Gavan. Anything can happen at any given moment.

Rules change. 1 word.........Vaculik.

Don't think he is joking. I did hear that Matt was trying to get his average down. That's why I put the original post up yesterday. Still expect Sundstrom and Shanes though.

Maybe Matt did manage to get his average reduced in the end.

That's why I put 'All could change'

Chris will do a great job stop worrying Pirates fans. The crowd will give him good receptions every week. Middlo will make sure he is happy. Kurtz and Grajczonek will have a lot of banter with Noddy.

So will you guys. Best 2 teams on paper so far.

With Wajtknecht as the main reserve and Davey who is only there because the promotion ran out of points to play with its a dead cert that we have nothing to worry about when it comes to Swindon in 2018. All could change though seeing as Davey will be sacked after 4 weeks

Robert Lambert = Chris Holder 2.0 Hahaha when is Buster going to realise that no decent rider wants to ride for him anymore.

He will be signed just waiting to get the top order done first.

But don't rule out Piotr Pawlicki.

Defo Sundstrom and Shanes.

Because he isn't a lock for a team place. If we get Sundstrom or a rider of that calibre then Shanes is in. If we can only get a 5.5 or a 6 point rider then Shanes wont be. Although its obviously the final 2 are Sundstrom and Shanes.

Nobody needs to worry about Holder because he will do a professional job. Very good friends with Middlo and he will keep Chris happy. Can also have a laugh and a joke with the Aussie boys (Kurtz & Grajczonek)

What a load of bull. Woryna is miles better than Ellis in any country. Wajtknecht will never be on the same level as Szczepaniak in any country. Grajczonek rode at No.1 for Somerset whilst Musielak was a second string. Grajczonek puts in consistent showings around all tracks apart from Wolves but then again that isn't a proper race track anyway. Kurtz is improving year on year whilst Morris is still riding in the Championship because no top flight club in Poland or Sweden want him. Sundstrom will wipe the floor with Bellego. Davey will probably get sacked after 4 weeks so I doubt he will even have the chance to race against Shanes but if he does then Shanes will sail off into the sunset C. Holder has and always will be better than Batchelor. The only team who will get close to us so far is Leicester.

TBH I think the assessment of Vaculik is spot on. 8.00 is very fair considering he's never ridden in Britain before. 9.00 is too high imo.

Shanes will probably be the rider announced tomorrow.

Everything is Poole's fault as per usual lol. Get a grip. Jacobs was forced into retirement because he's rubbish. Perks has been left without a team place because of the stupid rules. Ellis had a very good year in the 2nd tier last year and achieved a 5 something average when scoring big at reserve then struggled in the 1-5 and is now left on a false average he cant achieve. Adam Ellis was going to be signed as a full asset before Swindon stepped in with a better offer (Package deal) which worked out better for Lakeside. Kyle Newman was let go after a number of years because he isn't good enough. What do you expect keep a rider for his entire career even though there is no improvement in him.

Nope because as I have said he is good around the NSS. He's a one track pony. Unless he signed for BV then he is one of the worst signing's a top flight club could possibly make. Joe Jacobs is good around the NSS and that's why his average is 5.14. Anywhere else you might as well turn up with a 6 man team because Jacobs is that bad. 4.67 2nd tier average isn't even a high average tbh and Promoters don't want him because he's no good and they know it.

Joe Jacobs scores in his last season in the top flight away from home. @ KL FX, FX, 0 = 0 R, 0, 1 = 1 @ Leic 0, 0, 0, 0 = 0 R, 1, 0, 0, 0 = 1 @ Swindon 0, 1*, 0, R, 1* = 2+2 2, 1*, 3, 2* = 8+2 @ Lakeside 0, 0, 0 = 0 R, 0, 0 = 0 F, 0, R = 0 @ Poole 0, 1*, 0 = 1+1 0, 1, 0, 1 = 2 @ Coventry R, 2*, R, 1 = 3+1 0, 1, 1, 0 = 2 @ Wolves 0, 1*, 1 = 2+1 1, 1, 0, 0 = 2 0, R, 0 = 0

I am agreeing to the post in general about British riders not being able to get team places. Not just reserves. Jacobs wouldn't get a team place period because he isn't good enough. Simple as that really. Morris & Greaves are much better. Ayres & Morley are better. Davey only has a place at Swindon because they ran out of points to play with otherwise he would have been left without a job. Jacobs isn't good enough and Promoters know it. Otherwise he would be offered team places when the team building starts not half way through the season when riders get injured.

Na lol. Back to Poole should be announced tomorrow. Otherwise Hans wouldn't have been allowed to sign for Leicester as he would have been in our 1-7 if no Holder.
