Steve0 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I thought POOLE were announcing the rest of their team this week (minus the mighty Ward!)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 GRW123 what rule will be broken if Poole sign Gomolski i await your reply Who's on about rules being broken !!! Matt Ford adjusts the rules to suit....... As for the above question, no doubt his average will be, or given , an out of date assessment........ Bearing in mind the new race format, when everyone scores at least 5, anything below that will be an injustice....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you could direct me to your posts from last year, when you presumably felt similar injustice at Kings Lynn for using Lambert and Porsing on sub five point averages, when it was plain to everyone second strings would fill their boots? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) I understand that Matt is trying to sign a Polish rider D. Wardski. Edited February 21, 2015 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Nothing wrong with Gomolski coming over on an average he actually earned by racing over here. Its the sub five point ringers people have a problem with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there....... Last year, if you remember, all the teams were assembled prior to any knowledge of the new Race format. and both Lambert and Porsing were included into the Stars team, using a trusted method of the years previous averages, as was each of the other teams . When the new format was announced it was a surprise to everyone. Yes I will agree I thought both them riders would perform better than they actually did, but unfortunately it was a steep learning curve.. Porsing did quite well, but stuttered mid season with engine issues, once they were sorted, he was back to the rider we thought he would be.... For Lambert, it was a steeper curve. No, he didn't perform as I thought he might, but he battled well and hopefully this year, he will bear more fruit .. But when looking at all the second strings in the Elite League last year, they all achieved an average of 5. It would be fool hardy of the BSPA to not take this on board when looking at riders averages, but as we have seen many times before, they're not the quickest when it comes to making decisions............

Starman2006 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 But we all know Matt Ford will bring in a 'Ringer' on a fictitious average. That's the way it's always been done........ I don't know why your complaining.On paper you should piss the league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I don't know why your complaining.On paper you should piss the league... Like we should of done last season but, when it comes to winning the top league title there seems to be a massive jinx over us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be fool hardy of the BSPA to not take this on board when looking at riders averages, but as we have seen many times before, they're not the quickest when it comes to making decisions............ The race format may not have been made public, but right from the outset of the FTDR scheme it was made known that riders from it would be racing against each other and the second strings. Most people seemed to agree that it meant numbers two and four would vastly inflate their averages. Lynn obviously saw this too, as they included two riders on low averages to give more strength at heat leader. Nothing wrong with that as Porsing had achieved his average and Lambert, although clearly better than his, hadn't appeared in the PL (besides, if you're going to under-assess anyone, better someone who's British). Now KL have no-one under a five average, you're suggesting that not re-assessing averages achieved prior to 2014, would be an injustice. Everyone knew what would happen last season so it's a bit cheeky, especially when you consider the fast track is far stronger with riders like Auty and Wright, as well as some top tier riders from last year now appearing in the second level. I fully agree with Bagpuss (edit: Gordon Bennett, sorry) though, that averages for new riders brought into the EL need to be 5+.

Pirates Of Poole Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm not sure who suggested that Poole would complete their team this week? obviously time is running out fast for Darcy to be included, I would expect the final 2 signings to be announced in the next 7 days to coincide with team declaration required for the BSPA.
