GWC Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Klindt able to take 7 rides makes the sport a nonsense in my opinion. All well and good if a rider gets injured as that’s a reserve job but just giving the advantage to a rider who happens to be 6th in the teams averages makes no sense. It also brings into dispute riders who go missing in meeting and their unavailability. Maybe Poole have some sympathy as the Chris Holder situation isn’t of their making but a return to the days of 4 rides 1-5 and 3 for 6 & 7 might be a starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody could sign a reserve and do the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 in recent yrs building a team without at least one strong reserve,all season, has been a real risk,and the poole team with no superstar no 1 a rider like klindt is essential,and of course attainable because of the pts saved at no1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 The system here is fine. These are the rules and always have been for a long time. Poole don’t have a big hitter like Doyle at Somerset or Morris at Swindon. We have a team of 6-7 pointers and one at reserve. Klindt likes Liecester but I wouldn’t expect that at any other track. It’s completely fair. If we had gone to Liecester two weeks ago Woryna would have been at reserve and Liecester would have won. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Connor Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I dislike Poole as much as anybody else but crying foul because they have good reserves is a bit dumb. It’s your choice how you build a team. Lynn with Kerr proctor and toft having spells at reserve are no different. It’s what makes it interesting really. Poole have weaker riders in 13 and 15 on paper. As long as there hasn’t been average manipulation used to get certain riders to reserve then I don’t see the problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsence infers that the system is fine and you are happy that 2 riders can have 7 rides? That's exactly what I'm saying. Anybody could build a team to have a strong reserve, or even two strong reserves. If it was such a big advantage why doesn't everyone do it?

GWC Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 This has nothing to do with Poole and their chosen route to team building just making a point that the system is skewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't skewed nothing wrong with the system. The point wouldn't even come up if Klindt had got 5 instead of 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poole keith Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 i dont think this yrs poole team is the result of a dastardly or even cunning plan,its a team which has just evolved through a combination of circumstance ie legal wrangles,injuries underperformers,limited availabilitys ,financial restraints and hey ho we end up with a competitive team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Nothing really has changed in todays speedway in yesteryear when there was a monthly average change a number 2 or 4 would often change with a number 6.Therefore always giving them at least one decent reserve Cradley if i remember rightly went the other way often being top heavy.There reserves were often pushed in the deep end ie) with the likes of Gledhill,S.Collins,Reid,Garratt(rip) everyone to there own in the way they want to assemble a team that is what makes it special if you get it right.

Steve Shovlar Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 http://www.poolepirates.co/news/2018-07-12-bomber-pirate.html Not sure it will strengthen us to be honest. Harris best days are behind him and his form for Glasgow has been poor. Plus travelling from one end of the country to the other doesn’t help. guess time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
