Crazy robin Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 7.65 more than fair. Not going to get into an argument about it but where in the statement did it mention rolling averages?. It didn't & he didn't ride enough Premier League meetings in 2016 to get an average. A great loophole & fair play to Poole for it. Just as much a joke that Klindt rode more Elite League meetings than Premier but they use the Premier average. It's just a sad thing that a young Brit hasn't benefited.

Red Flag Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Can't understand at all why matt has decided against Adam Ellis next year he improved heeps last year and is equally as gd as alot of other riders who have the same averages,he spent the majority of time at no2 last year. Then we will go sign a foreign rider *angry!!!* I hope matt goes down the KK route as he's definitely worth the extra point and much stronger no1. Poole always go down the foreign route 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 A hypothetical question I know but what would you Poole fans have gone with if Darcy hadn't had his accident?. The only reason I ask is because I'm surprised so many don't want Chris in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I think all of us Poole fans would love Chris to come back but if Chris did we would need 100% commitment and top machinery as we would have a very weak tail. Ill try and come up with a team with Chris riding at No.1 and will post it soon. I think you will find most will have long tails..

Thats correct it was a two year deal, You going to club together with your mates and offer ? I expect Rick Frost is getting fed up with all the buggering about in Speedway.

Jason.C Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Darcy all the way without a shadow of a doubt. Chris hasn't been the same though since his and Darcy's accident which is understandable, but prior to these incidents I always thought Darcy looked the better. His foresight and control of the bike was unrivaled. Great example being the play off semi final 2nd leg vs kings lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 It helps an Aussie but what else would we expect from those clowns. No-one mentioned rolling averages before today & it should be from meetings in 2016 & not before. No fault on whoever signs Brady but he should be in on his 2016 Elite League average. As expected yet another anomaly exploited by a promotion. Brady started the season as a declared EL rider and not a PL rider. He is lucky that he did double up later in the season otherwise he would be saddled with an average that be difficult to get a place with. Still, it's great news the new rules look after an Aussie and potentially penalise a Brit tho eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) If we go with a 2point rider how bout, Andersen 10.01 Holder 7.16 Kurtz 7.65 Batchelor 7.36 Harris 9.21 Newman 6.31 Junior rider 2.00 49.70 I'd prefer KK at no1 though,doubt it eould happen.

Whats missing from this that was in the Bournemouth Echo article is that the Readypower 2 year deal was worth at least £100000 to Poole. If a sponsor of this magnitude cannot be found by Ford then I think this is the reason that Holder Snr will not appear. The Poole team will be made up of assets as I suspect that loan fees will have to go as well, hence no Ellis. Matt Ford has never nurtured British talent (with exception of Newman) and this year his failure to so may just bite him on the backside. We all await with interest this year's Poole lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how people can argue here. official greensheets are always based on rolling averages. Brady rode for Plymouth last season. Number of meetings is irrelevant once they decided to base everything on pl.As it is, based on last years El performances Klindt is the stand out bargain. b kurtz is still only mid range for value, in fact not dissimilar to Ellis.

It was simple that if a rider wasn't riding Premier League at the end of 2016 then his Elite average should count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole isn't exactly top of his priorities, form was good in Poland as well yet apart from last 2 months he was pretty average over here.

stevebrum Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Coming from a supporter who's club puts Swedish riders before British ones. Why don't you drop Masters/Thorssell and sign Ellis? I'm not quite sure how to put this to you in a way you might understand but as of yet we haven't declared any riders for 2017. as for signing British riders and helping them develop..... you must have forgot the double world champion. easy mistake to make I guess. Should have ridden in PL then! loving the sympathy. The same as Klindt though Steve who rode in more Elite than Premier & dropped out of the Premier. It was simple that if a rider wasn't riding Premier League at the end of 2016 then his Elite average should count. Fair play CR another anomaly with no common sense applied. Part of me hopes he rewards Leicester by staying but on his average he must be a likely at his parent club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
