On the BSPA site? I must of missed this one!

Not entirely sure pairing Charles and Holder together is going to be a great idea and may end up getting in each others way more than anything. I'd be tempted to swap Jack with Richard and have Richard at 4 and Jack at 5 - especially for home matches.

As already explained, no - it's 1 x 8.00 or over, not 1 x 8.01 or over.

Rumours are GP riders are now 8.00s.

It isn't - it's one 8 and over.

Exactly. Charles Wright was clearly one of the riders who wasn't flavour of the month either after the presentation shambles at the end of this season and potentially wasn't being considered with Holder on the horizon. I think there would of been uproar if Wright wasn't signed amongst fans. As an overall Holder is the obvious option but there is very few better to watch at the OTA than Wright. Like you say, plans change and I'm sure this is another reason why the team wasn't announced in one go like it has been for the past what 4 seasons (?) and drip fed instead.

I believe the plan was to have both if what I'm told was right - and like SCB, I've no reason to doubt it. Matt Ford demanding that we buy Holder was scuppered that.

Other than MattFordFan and PooleBolton who always post absolute rubbish - I'm not sure who else has said that. I remember saying at the start of team building I didn't want either of the two Holders, but there is a lot of potential improvement in Jack so happy with that.

It was mentioned on here weeks ago about Doyle signing and people said we couldn't afford him - I said at the time that wasn't the case and so it's proved. Welcome back to Jason Doyle to his spiritual home. Plenty to be optimistic about with this team, plenty of improvement in Lawson, Holder, Wilson Dean and Allen. Who knows about the Dane as I know nothing about him at all. Poole can keep Chris Holder. I'm led to believe he was on his way until Ford put a stop to that. We'll settle for Doyle though *insert smug face*

Not going to lie, never heard of him!

I can't remember the last time I heard the word 'snazzy' but I think that just about sums it up. The content is good though. Looks like it'll be three separate announcements too at various intervals. Think the forum will go in to meltdown when Holder is announced....

Looking forward to Good Friday already!

Seems though that he doesn't wanted to race on it every week - instead choosing one of the best race tracks in the county.

It has been known in the past. Admittedly a few years ago but he crumbled on numerous times like a soggy custard cream when he was Somerset's no.1.

It's pretty much the team that went on a bit of a roll at the end of last year with Kennett in for Wells - which makes Rye even stronger at home. I'm not sure they'll win it but they should easily make the play offs.

How many profiles are you up to now.... 6? 7?

It'll also come as no surprise that Charles Wright also hasn't signed for Somerset either, being a Poole asset.

It would make most sense. Poole have ridden on Wednesdays for as long as I can remember and Somerset's official off race night has been Wednesday too.

50% of Poole's team is currently former Somerset riders - what's your point?

I'd more than settle for that!

I've heard Doyle is off to Rye House. Chris Holder at no.1 with a 5 pointer (Lewis Kerr maybe?) at no.7?

Think you've hit the nail on the head in the last paragraph. From my point of view, I have little to no interest into the GP series or any competition like then. It's League speedway or nothing for me. And by league speedway, I actually mean Somerset speedway.

To be honest I've got no issue with Woryna or the other Pole's name who I can't spell keeping their previous averages. It makes things a lot easier if everyone keeps their previous averages. The problem then comes when they have re-asssessed riders like Tai Woffinden and co. They either had to re-assess all of them or none of them... not some of them!

Nothing has been said, but I assumed that it would be Wednesday.

That isn't how it works. Chris doesn't literally go and ask for permission from Buster. Didn't a situation happen like this a few years ago also with Batchelor for Peterborough and they literally waited until March to sign him when any form of deadline had passed where they would of had to buy him out right? The asset system is dated to say the least and nobody should be forced into buying anybody.
