Hope he has an injury free season - especially if Poole can make the playoffs

I'm surprised you have both only just realised this. With our top 3 averages, it doesn't leave much left for the rest of the team.

Looking like a Coventry reunion

Interesting tweet from Schlein - where does this suggest to you he will be riding (assuming it's the UK): Rory Schlein‏ @RorySchlein3 Had a good chat with the new gaffer today... team looks good can't wait To get started Doesn't sound like KL unless Rob Lyon has been replaced? I thought Coventry.

Gift isn't a word I'd use to describe him

:rofl: Poole had a team that should have easily won it last season but they didn't com close. Don't kid yourself - no one is frightened of Poole!

He'll be considering who his second Brit will be

How about Leigh Adams and Jason Doyle - both improved after leaving Poole

The only reason? Nothing to do with the 2 year contract they agreed before the end of season?!?!?!?!

Why is it manipulation of the rules? Saddling someone with a 13+ average is just plain stupid and no one could ever achieve that since 12 is a 4 ride max! I think it is fair to say that Swindon won't finish with their starting 7 and I have no problem with that because the riders they will have will be a strong force!

Some details at http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/14883306.Rossiter_backs____inexperienced____Ellis_to_shine/ Well done Rosco - a great start to team building. We know we will be weak lower down the team and I would give Morris a team spot this year - especially as it has been watered down. I don't mind a long tail as long as the team is entertaining and we have that in buckets with Doyle and Ellis.

Maybe they are nailed on for Swindon?

I didn't realise British was a country

The problem with the English language is it can be ambiguous and people will read things how they want. I think it was an innocent tweet and don't believe he was having a go at Poole - why would he?

Happy to talk about Swindon

Comedy ironic post of the year

But they can stop a team riding in the UK because they hold the cards for all speedway in the UK.

I haven't seen Lindback in any team permutations - and he is such a great rider too!

Someone on a windup! Now who could that be?

Maths not your strong point? His EL average was multiplied by 1.4 giving him a 12+ average - so he was in the top 3 in the EL - so hardly average! I think Swindon will be looking for 5-6 point riders given that Doyle takes up 13.5 points!

Well he didn't have a crystal ball and thought that being an EDR (on lower points money) was worth a go to show his talent - which he did in abundance. His reward (like many Poole riders after their first season) - there's the door and we are replacing you with a Johnny Foreigner!

Yes - pretty average! That's why he has a 12+ average for team building this season.

I agree and when they have a proper average strengthen up - nothing to lose and could do a Coventry and storm up the league when changes are made. I think as a minimum we should stick with Doyle.

Not Swindon - so still Rick Frost
