Could someone explain the "new" rules, because I am confused by what Brady Kurtz average will be

Yes only a short time now before we run out of things to discuss on who may/may not sign.

 

As we draw to team conclusion at Poole and have a period of calm, the real car crash seems to be going on at Coventry who may not even race the way its going, plus the doubts as to what's going on at Leicester and how will B.Vue pan out.

 

Now we are drawing to a team close I find the real action is going on with these forums as fans get worried/frustrated/angry at the way our sport seems to be getting dragged down the toilet.

 

In a way I hope we go for a stronger 16/18 team league and not have a Prem/Champ. I can see it heading that way and maybe better for the sport. There will always be the have's and have not's but no different to any other major motor sport or football (Moto GP/Formula 1/European Football. That's the way life is. The main thing is to have as many as viably strong clubs as we can with exciting racing.

 

In its current format its falling apart IMO and that can't be good for Speedway. Much as I like Poole there isn't much point if its against hardly any clubs going forward. Of course I want to win the league and cups but its the stability and strength of the clubs going forward. Plus exciting racing.

 

We had large leagues 1 & 2 in the seventies (my first meeting at Hackney in 1970 we had 19 teams lge 1 and 17 in lge 2 plus both lges had KO Cups) and I would rather have one strong league plus a feeder/nursery league like N/L than have what is currently 9 but could be 8/7 teams come March with so many doubts of what is going on. Also have a KO cup over 2 legs

.

I enjoy reading and contributing to the Poole Forum since I joined this forum 3/4 or so weeks ago, but find visiting some of the others so depressing for their fans as they don't know if they will have a club or not.

 

Anyway the forum is all about opinion and that's mine. At least trial it.

That has been on the cards for a while now. We will see what happens after next season. Anyway, we have the K O Cup back next season which will be one home one away. Yes i understand what you say about the other clubs. If Coventry get offered Leicester as a tempary home as ive said many times before then they should take it. As for BV that is quite worrying, as you do wonder if they will actually run.

[Pirates Of Poole]

Team looks strong and the last 2 riders are obvious just down to announcing.

Looking forward to an entertaining team on track in 2017.

Lets hope all 3 do but at worse I would take 2 of them reading as it does presently.

 

The die is set for 2017 so let's get on with it but I do hope that the BSPA and individual promoters bang heads together during the season to come up with something workable for 2018 otherwise our sport will descend into farce. For me its one big league with a KO and maybe even a league cup style comp as they had in old PL last season. just knocking thoughts around. I am also sure the powers that be could com up with a sensible idea on team strengths/points limits and let the promoters work within their budgets.

 

No different to other sports. Money will always play its part just as we have the Man Utd/City - Honda/Suzuki - Mercedes/Red Bull/Lotus situations plus smaller teams. Ultimately in Speedway it is still only 4 riders per race and you will never have 4 World Class stars in a race with the points limits so we would still get racing we all want to see - experience - middle order - lower order - youth.

 

Is it really so difficult if the sport wants to fight for its existence/future. Also means clubs in Scotland would see a Poole just as we would see them down in the South.

 

Anyway I will hope we win the league and KO Cup in 2017 while seeing exciting racing and exciting young talent,and keep my fingers crossed my thoughts bear fruit for 2018.

We had a league cup style comp in 0-3 but it didn't really take off, although we won it. Unsurprisingly !!

Win the league, im sure that Matt will not take last season lying down. Im sure that CVS is keeping our trophy warm as i speak.. Just keep it clean..

Looks like Jack Holder will be at number 1 for Peterborough in the championship. I fully expect him to kick on next season

[Crazy robin]

Congratulations to Matt Ford who has managed to get 3 riders in on their Premier League averages which are lower than their Elite ones.

 

No complaints from me as the pathetic other promotors let it happen.

 

Sadly shows the state of our speedway when Nicolai is a stand out signing.

 

In terms of putting a team together I think this is one of Poole's best in such a watered down league.

I don't think that is fair on the other promoters.

 

Poole have much more to offer a rider thanks to their great sponsorship and bigger crowds.

 

You could be the greatest promoter in the world, but if you don't have the crowds or the sponsorship interested in your area of this country, I think it is harsh to the other promotions as bad promoters.

 

Like I wouldn't call a Manchester United FC chairman any better than a Bury FC chairman.

 

To be honest, I am just pleased the league is running and hasn't gotten to the state of Denmarks 5 man teams yet.

[poolebolton]

Well J.Holder is rumoured to sign for Peterborough which is interesting. Is Brady going to get a ride somewhere else in the championship in the UK??

I don't know. Are you now Brady's Championship pimp? Did pimping Cyfer to Premiership Clubs become futile?

Poole doesn't even have a team sponsor at the moment?

You make me laugh so much. Just want to see riders who have good styles ride over here. Would rather have Cyfer in my team, than most of the young British riders. More entertaining.

Interesting option for Panthers if true as Jack has a place in the Torun squad with his brother, and Peterborough are going for mainly Sunday meetings??!!
