Jonny the spud Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 How long do we have to wait for the AGM ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 You have to be joking re: Batchelor!! Can't see Poole chasing Harris either, despite an attractive average. I'd have thought that Ford/Middlo will be looking for younger riders for the team. He will put at least 1.5 points on that average, remember he has come back from a nasty injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 How long do we have to wait for the AGM ? Blimey if the dad of a rider doesn't know then the sport really is in a mess. That's not a dig or sarcasm by the way😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 How long do we have to wait for the AGM ? The pub they booked sadly cancelled so are currently on the look out for another bar for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB252 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 With Poland's latest stunt think all is in the air If they go through with it you won't be seeing: Holder KK Lindback Janowski Milik etc etc Surely the riders won't stand for it unless the Poles pay them a guaranteed salary? And I mean pay them, not just write a number down on a bit of paper but never pay up like the majority of Polish teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well, if the BSPA are setting the league's rules with the main purpose being to prevent Poole having Newman and Ellis at reserve is, to my mind, an incredibly short-sighted strategy. Newman and Ellis have been two of the better success stories of the EDL system (and their success has not been dramatic!), so your suggestion is more about being anti-Poole than pro-British Speedway. Currently Elite League speedway has numerous critical issues - the race format being the primary one, which has in turn created the issue with riders on false averages. I'd suggest the best way to remedy this situation is to find a race format that doesn't create such a gulf between the reserves and rest of the team with protected heats, and switch to a rider grading system for a season so everyone can achieve more representative averages. Surely you are not suggesting that either of Newman and Ellis should be at reserve next year? Both are more than capable of holding their own in the 1-5 (as demonstrated last night) so I wouldn't expect either to be a reserve next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Matt Ford should definately try to buy Adam Ellis's contract to make him a Poole asset. Both he and Kyle should be nailed on for next year. Hans was given a two year deal but Matt has made a couple of stipulations for 2017. Have to wait and see there. Its no secret Matt and Chris Holder havent been good mates for a while but perhaps they can bury the hatchet and try and have a decent working relationship. Rumours of the return of Milik for next season would be great if true. 5.67 average should be surpassed. Bye bye to Buckowski. Lost his edge half way through the season and suprised he wasn't replaced tbh. No thanks to Batchelor regardless of his average. Thing is, at the moment the PZM are trying to stop riders in the extraleague from riding in both Sweden abd the UK. Riders will have to stand up to this otherwise we won't see any top riders innthe el, so naming riders who ride in Poland and Sweden already is a waste of time.

Agrotron Posted September 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Oh fk the PZM and I would imagine that is the same thoughts as the riders so I wouldn't let it worry people to much, this has been known about for around a month now so I am informed. Buck has not cut it started good and faded like a flower Hans back no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) I think BV or Swindon would be Chris prefered destination. And regarding Hans, no thanks was woeful the last 6 weeks along with Buzz and Bjarne. Matt would admit he took his eye off the ball and should have dropped at least 2 of the 3. The writing was on the wall in early August with awful away performances and although big scoring at home it wasn't against the top teams.

poolebolton Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Going off this years averages and the current limit of 40.5. I would also give riders such as Newman PL average like J.Holder and Ellis well someone needs to figure out a system to give him one. 1.Magic=8.97. I think Holder takes a year off and Magic might quit Sweden had a rubbish year there and is quality and need a captain whos young still. 2.Batch=5.26 3.Milik= 5.67 4.J.Holder= 4.26 5.KK=7.91 6.Kyle N=3.41 7.Ellis (if we get him back)= 3.50 if not Ellis, Paul Starke= 3.72 38.98 total and this gives leeway if the average for reserves change.

poolebolton Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 And what about Holder what is actually wrong with him and Matt. Pirates of Poole you are very reliable what is wrong with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I think BV or Swindon would be Chris prefered destination BV it is then as we already have Doyle on a high average (unless he gets re-assessed to a 7 like everyone else) so would be very top heavy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
