He put 1.5 points on his assessed average - that suggests his assessed average was incorrect - it doesn't suggest he had a great year!

Well balanced? If you mean that they are beatable in every position in the team! I hope the Brummies fans turn out for the team that has been put together but can only see a season of struggle

You were involved in these discussions were you? Or just your fantasy and overactive imagination?

They'll be dragging their feet over announcing the race format so that they can sell more overpriced programmes

I think it's his own incompetence that's the problem and hurrying back to Oz rather than taking care of business and expecting the BSPA to bail him out. Poor planning on his part it seems.

It's not a joke at all. If he can't organise himself then that's his problem. I like him as a rider and he has done well but as a non EU citizen he isn't entitled to earn a living in this country without the relevant visa and I don't have a problem with that.

That's the standard Poole way of working isn't it? A second string ups their average and is replaced by a recognised heat leader

Yes Death Squads to hurry along the inevitable in this dying sport that we support

I don't understand what you are disagreeing with. Are you saying that Jason's progress has been stifled by riding in 2 leagues - if not then you agree. I agree that injuries have had an impact on Jason and he has shown these last 2 years how much he has improved.

It hasn't stifled Jason Doyle's progress though and I think he has been doubling up for many seasons

Big sponsorship with Dulux to be announced - that team is as exciting as watching paint dry

Playground is that way >>>>>>>>>>>

And it will be an expensive lesson for him if his visa doesn't come through

I doubt whether Bates would want to ride 3 leagues!! Don't see why other clubs would need to agree - sorry but Swindon's business is their own responsibility (within the rules). Trying to get 10 BSPA promoters to agree to anything is a bit of a Herculean task.

It isn't another stupid law in this country - it is designed to control the immigrant population and their entitlement to work in this country. You would think a bit of forward planning would ensure that someone who has worked here in the past doesn't fall foul of it and should know better!

With the spin you have put on what is a perfectly understandable situation I would hazard a guess that you are a Poole supporter

I think it shows he doesn't know much about speedway Time will tell who is right and who isn't but it won't be SS

Contrary to what some people may think I am not a Poole basher but as for joining them - come on you Robins!!

A few people have mentioned replacing Doyle with Morris at Somerset. They are not a like for like swap - Doyle has an extra point on his average and has the experience of riding as a number 1 and being one if the top averaged riders in the league.

I have to disagree - BVs top 3 is not as strong as Poole's and KLs probably is but they are weaker in the second string department whereas Poole are not. Poole look like a good balanced team with top-end strength and strength in depth so for me they are the team to beat to this year.

Oh dear - not good if true.

They won the play-offs because they were the best team in them and upped their game as a team when it mattered.

Breaking news... SS is not the devil incarnate (apparently)!! He tries hard to be though or does it just come naturally?

Gavan - you say many good things (and some things is don't agree with) but if you get into a t*t for tat with the resident troll, you can come across as banging the same drum and I think that's why the others join in like a pack of wolves Can I suggest that you don't feed the troll because he clearly enjoys winding you up and then maybe he will get bored (I doubt it but I live in hope)
