In return for agreeing to a fiddled average for Lindback?

I think the most likely explanation is that the other promoters are weak. Either that or they get a sweetener from Ford somewhere along the line?

It's not so much being ahead of them that's the issue. You just wonder what he's got on them to make them agree to a 1 point average reduction for one of the world's top riders?

Well, at least up until the Playoffs start!

Not likely. Did you read some of the other posters on here? The thread somehow descended into a discussion about Gavans work life. All rather odd.

He didn't post anything about averages. This is a more credible solution than using guests though.

No one is bothered anymore to be fair.

You haven't pi*sed me off. You're making a di*k of yourself. It's funny.

You really are coming across as an adolescent twit to be fair.

Blimey, it's like children's playground on this thread! No Lindback jokes please!

Would rather have a PL sub 6 point rider than Schlein. Should really use a proper guest and KK can take a ban, but guess they think he might turn up to the ELRC. Unless he's popping out for dinner or cutting his toenails etc that night?

I expect him to follow the example set by Belle Vue and Leicester riders and carry on regardless. Allegedly. Seriously, I'm not sure this makes Poole odds on favourites anyway. Is Lindback really going to turn up to our shoddily prepared tracks after a decade away and hammer in 4 maximums? He'll likely take a good couple of rides to figure Monmore out. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Lindback catches a cold on the morning of the semi at Wolves so Bomber can guest for him.

I bet you would, as that wouldn't win a thing. Please God not Scott again, or Schlein for that matter. They both served Coventry well, but do we really need to keep recycling the same riders. Get in the PL and get back to running 3 Saturdays a month. That would also have the added bonus of meaning that we don't have to endure the ruddy awful National League.

Seriously, I think most people lost interest quite a few years ago to be honest, but as long as you enjoy it.

Do we? Enticing them back should be the last thing on our minds. They bring nothing, when they can be bothered to turn up. You're not one of these dangerous individuals that think the answer to British Speedway's ills is riding on ridiculous midweek race nights to benefit half a dozen riders are you?

Woffinden is using an earned average from 2 seasons ago (when he was the reigning World Champion) acquired in an almost identical race format to the one being used now, so there's absolutely no issue with it. Lindback also has an average, all be it one attained many seasons ago, but I can't imagine anyone sane sitting down and thinking that re-assessing the average of the British Grand Prix winner to 7.00 is a good idea. Only in British Speedway eh?

Might as well use a proper guest now. KK can get his ban and he can carry it forward to his new team next year!

We've got a number of big name assets that have never ridden for the current promotion and are never likely to!

Zagar is too expensive for the Bees. 3K guarantee for 3 quids worth of effort. No ta.

Ever wondered why Poole haven't staged the British Final since 09? There were only 800 paying customers there. It isn't the meeting it was. The TV coverage and the hideous format of current World Championship qualifying have killed it stone dead.

Yes, was just saying that even if you could use him away, you wouldn't use him at Wolves as he's pony round there. Doesn't really matter who you use elsewhere anyhow, as the only meaningful away meeting that Poole have left is the away leg of the Semi at Monmore.

+5% for the home meeting though which might make a difference? Doubt they'd want to use KK at Monmore anyway. Harris a far better bet around there for the away leg.

Would Lindback for Holder really improve Poole enough? Holders press conference interview after the GP was weird which probably set a few rumours in motion. There was a strong whisper at Brandon on Friday that a Poole change was imminent as well.

Yes. Switched to this one. http://www.drhtv.com.pl/drhtv1.html

Congrats to the Poles on winning this prestigious tournament.
