So can you explain how Poole got to pick before Swindon?

there is no way that a 5.5+ rider should be at reserve in this watered down league. Looks like BSPA back scratching to me and it stinks!

Richie I can understand as he didn't ride EL last season - Howarth did!

But it IS relevant!! If he has a current EL average then that's what should be used! More cr@p from the BSPA!

The Chuckle Brothers as they are available Saturday nights - to me, to you...

He has a 5.5+ EL average!!

Good signing - hope he continues his improvement

Can't see how Howarth is at reserve with an EL average from last season???

Not unless he is British or has British patriality. Also he was riding at #1 in the PL so can't see even MF managing to swing it that he would be an FTR

Yes but as an EU national - he has no problem entering the country and doesn't require a visa

No need to be rude and personal!

Just send him a text - that's the Poole way (apparently)

What do you think? He would be as welcome as a f@rt in a lift!

Now that's just trolling

No we haven't!

Possibly because he spent most of the season as a second string!

Not in prison though!

I remember Mark Thorpe had a close escape with a tractor at Blunsdon - very lucky!

Let him pull the plug and put an end to the misery that is the EL. Another season and a further watering down - at this rate it will be PL or worse still - NL!

Didn't get stressed at all thanks.

Makes perfect sense!

All I want to know is - is Hansi on the heat leader list? If not then something is seriously wrong. If he is then I have no issue.

No - it highlights how corrupt this sport is!

Why have them start at reserve for 4 meetings? If you look at Garrity as an example, is he not ready to go straight into the 1-5? What purpose does it serve to start at reserve with potentially riders in the 1-5 with a lower starting average? Surely another manipulation by the BSPA! Reserves have always been the lowest averaged riders in a team - until now!!

I think that is your Poole bias coming through. I didn't say Poole have cheated. If Hansi and Freddie are not on the heat leader list then it is cheating because there is no way in this world that either of them are second strings. It will be interesting to see what happens and if they aren't on the list then it is yet another nail in the coffin for British Speedway.
