Jack will race for whoever he wants whether Poole "let him or not" as you well know.

Mainly Poole assets in the 1-5? - just two by my reckoning as Andersen, Batch and Ellis aren't Poole assets

Did you not notice it was way better than any other team that has been proposed?

My two teams

Dropping the FTR system and then giving them an average to put them in the 1-5 and replace with two lower averaged riders - no one is fooled

With Jim Lynch at Coventry, Schlein may be tempted to go back there

I would expect Klindt to go back to Leicester next season as he had a good season there.

Looks like a Swindon team - lol

Cutting costs is a given and the promoters have delivered on that front again. However, there are alternatives - put the fans first and give them value for money. Give them a team that is exciting and successful, promote it, cost the admission prices appropriately and look to give them a good night out that doesn't mean presentation from the 70s, 15 heats and nothing else. Give good value for money and fans will come out and also it will attract new fans. Additionally sort out the rules and be transparent so there are not the annual dodgy moves from the south coast - put the credibility back and make it incredible and then the sport can move forward.

Eddie Kennett at number 1 - a good start to building a team to win the league -Not!

I know - makes that team look good

Some good points but at the end of the day who would pay to go and see a team like that and how will they attract new supporters! They have been diluting the league year on year from when the first introduced their 3 year plan and there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough - the EDRs did that for me!

What a shockingly poor looking team! The points limit is a joke!

I wonder if Poole will honour the 2year signing of Hansi? If they do then that's nearly 30 points for 3 riders - leaving 20 for the remaining 4 riders. Will be interesting to see what transpires! Pooleski :rofl: I think you are actually serious about Poole being too big for the Premiership!

If that is the standard of a Premiership team in 2017 then speedway will continue to struggle to retain and grow their fan base. If I was a lower average rider in a team with someone starting on a 12+ average, I would be concerned that I wouldn't be there for very long - that's hardly good for the fans or the riders concerned!

Maybe something in it yesterday - not today!

So did Somerset! Tungate and Josh are not Somerset assets!

Is Gavan baiting a sport to you? why don't you just leave it rather than try and wind him up - it's getting very boring now!

What a shocking situation and we could have had a National Speedway stadium with no speedway. I hope the new promoters have deep pockets are can get more people into the stadium on a regular basis as it is a brilliant venue for speedway!

A good addition to the top flight. Given that both Swindon and Somerset shared half the same team I would guess that will be interesting if wanted by both.

If those that took the plunge to go full time EL last season (like Morris and Sedgmen) are not considered special cases then they will have been shafted! Would be a shame if Ellis has to go with his EL average too

Sorry to see That Lakeside won't be in the EL next season and I hope they have a good season in the NL and hopefully solve their issues - which are mainly down to the location. Sorry to see again that there are no top flight teams from our capital.

If Danny has signed and he is still doubling up/down with Ipswich then you would have to change race night as he cant be in 2 places at the same time.

..and no sharing of half the team

He was in the PL and doubling up, moved up and, like a fine wine, got better and better and he is well in demand now and still wants to remain in British Speedway. I just hope that the injury to his elbow doesn't impact the level he has attained this year. As this is a Poole thread, I would definitely like to see Holder riding next season too - a great rider.
