Do we think Ablitt would improve enough to be worthy of a team place next season.This season he hasn't won a race and would the Ford's build a 6 man team again as that's really what we had this season although it worked out well.

He has had a couple of paid wins at Poole though.

A long day for travelling Poole fans who made the arduous journey to Kings Lynn yesterday, but worth every mile. An early start to the meeting and few delays after heat one meant we were able to celebrate and leave the stadium a little after 9pm, meaning I was back at home in Poole by 1am. 

What was surprising was the similar size to the Leicester and Poole fans in attendance, considering the distances having to travel. Only about 5-600 there with the difference being made up by the local supporters. A real shame but not unexpected that the crowd was so low. But a special mention to Buster who laid on a proper racetrack that gave the riders the opportunity to race and pass. Best I have ever seen it and harks back to the racing of the 80’s videos on YouTube.

Would Leicester have won the title if the meeting taken place at their home track? I don’t think so. Perhaps I am bound to say that but the Poole team would simply not be denied last night. There was utter determination from the Poole riders and after about heat 7 the Leicester riders heads dropped. 

Special mention for Richard Lawson who shared his knowledge of the track with setups and on the track walk pointing out all the racing lines. As for the Cooks, both on their first visit, astounding to be honest. Ben Cooks double pass of Dan Thompson and home track rider Richie Worrall in heat 6 was quite incredible, then repeated in heat 8 and 15.

And let’s not forget Middlo, who showed why he is the best in the business. Another title to add to the many. Top bloke as well.

I think next season Poole will retain two of the three heat leaders with Ben Cook coming in as third heat leader and Zack as second string. 

With Trackrat and you having the same profile picture, i wonder if he will change it to your new one :cheers:

Pretty sure the ink has dried on that contract. 
Can we keep the top 3 under the point limit?

King, Worrall, Lawson, Ben & Zach, Complin and Ablitt?

 

pooles total team ave is just over 43.03 and with team ave being 40 next year could drop a 5 pointer and get another 2 pointer but would the same top 5 be enough to carry 2@2pointers

No. Always need one reserve going well. Would not want that much pressure on two 2 pointers. Bit unfair really.

The Brit 2.5% reduction reduces the current 1-7 down to just over 42 but I still think 3 changes depending on the final team rules.;)

Cough - Plymouth - May :)

is there any new 2.00 coming up through the system that would be any better? I honestly don’t know. Maybe there is someone but would they score more than Nathan?

Not asked Garry but believe he'd take a punt

No Team will take two 2 pointers, that’s 8 heats of potential 0’s you’re looking at. Poole managed to carry one with three 0’s per meeting and making the points up with their number 6.

Points limit will weaken the reserve berths  though I would imagine,so if you get the right 2 pt men Who knows.

If you get the wrong 2pt men your season is over as you can’t get anyone from the main body down there.

im pretty sure the majority of teams will be taking one 2 pointer this season.

If that is the case should we stick with Nathan after all he's had a full season in this league and has clearly struggled but is that because he is not good enough of is it his equipment that is not good enough.

Stick. He’ll have a year on all the other two pointers.
