Poole Pirates Vs Leceister Lions 5/8/15


Recommended Posts

Really bad that Auty is 2nd on the tier 1 draft and yet they have to use a rider low down on the tier 2. Huge disadvantage

Yeah shocking! :approve: Lets hope that Paul Starke can stay on his bike a bit more. He's getting as bad as milik lately in both EL and PL!!!! :wink:

If Poole have a top 3 of Ward,Holder & Majic next year the rest of us may as well drop into Premier League , there's not enough interest from GP riders to ride here to be any competition in other teams , so if there is some manipulation of rules it will be the whole Elite league that suffers , Sky will drop it at some point , Hans Anderson and Chris Holder seem both to be riding badly tho I hope they ain't doing anything silly . For me having Darcy in our team has been fantastic , like the days of Leigh Adams , when we were always good , I can understand Poole's fans wanting all three back together but it would be such a boring league it could be the last straw for a lot of other fans from other clubs , Swindon may as well drop down , as I don't like saying it but Bachelor/Kildemand and whoever will not be good enough , I hope we can somehow convince Ward to stay but I doubt it

In fairness the three under strength teams are Leicester, Wolverhampton and Lakeside. I personally don’t think there is much to choose between them.

 

I enjoy the racing in the Elite League. Generally speaking, I find it to be closer and not as strung out as the premier league. The big down side is the number of teams in the league and the constant use of guest riders (sometimes as many as 4 or 5 in one meeting).

 

I watch Swedish speedway on BES and to me that is a fantastic league. I think they have got it just about right. They seem to be able to attract a more even spread of riders in the teams. Certainly the teams contain the best riders in the world and make our top flight look pretty tame in comparison.

 

I guess at the end of the day it’s all about the money ! ohhhhhhhhhhh and Poole to win easy.

I mentioned averages for team changes and it was said that the averages for august the 1st will be used for all of august but what about all the interim averages between now and the deadline of 28th august, arn't they be used for team changes?

Team changes can now only be made using August averages and only up until 28th as far as I know although rules may have changed. The averages after that will be used for next year.

 

 

After that date there will be a 7 day window before the play offs to only replace a rider if they are injured. It then has to be a like for like swap.

Not sure about this due to riders with assessed averages, I notice Walasek's average has dropped from 6.24 to 6.00 as from 8/8.

So if Leicester wanted to change their team the new 6.00 average would be used, is that correct?

 

The point i am getting at is if a team is changed on the 28th august are the latest averages used or the August 1st averages, i would of thought the last available average but i could be wrong!
