If Poole prefer to use their own assets then the 2 Cooks and Richard Lawson could be the first 3 on the teamsheet. Also how about Ablitt and Newman as reserves?

The danger will be with two reserves on low averages, Poole we’re lucky that kemp made it into the main body of the team while Zach was having an off month in July and found himself at 6 for the playoffs and cup. 
 

if Poole Keep the cooks and the current 3 heat leaders they would need to go for two 2 points at reserve.(based on a 40 point average) Which would be a massive gamble because If they couldn’t put points on their average you would be stuck with a weak 6 and 7 for the entire season.

Some things work, somethings don't. With rumours of a 38/39 point team limit, In my opinion there is no way Poole will be able to retain all 3 of this season's heat leaders plus both Cooks

Are Newcastle meetings still to come off averages? Last year East bournes we’re left on until end of season then removed, I think. 

Good point, but with only last ten counting for most riders the Newcy matches will have dropped out already.

This must be the first season that Poole have NEVER made a team change in season. They have been lucky with injuries & persevered with riders off form as replacements not suitable.

Not even with your barge pole I would think Lisa-colette…….lol

Haha. I don't have enough patience I'm afraid.:D Now on his Swindon winning the titles days would have had him at Poole in a shot. I'm not sure he is really into the Championship tbh!

Neither Batch nor Hans would be considered. Too old and no improvement in them.

King

Ben Cook

Lawson

Zach Cook

Abblit

Hume

a n other.

interesting.

Skidder mentioned how about Newman - He fits if the level were 39 based on his Redcar final GSA.

Always liked him when he rode for Poole. Always thought he would be a bit better than Howarth as proved it around Poole when younger, Shame injuries intervened and probably robbed him of meeting his full potential.

One to mention who was mentioned in the past by me and others and was supposedly considered at one stage - Keynon Rew.

Still only 19 and rode POl Lge 1 mainly with odd ride in POl EXL for Leszno. Never ridden UK so does that qualify for a 4 pointer like other young Aussies who have ridden here for the first time like Pearson/Hook. Chances are he will not be in Leszno starting line up for 2023 which means he would have POl Lge 1 and could be considered for UK ??. Assuming Middlo could board him as he did with the Cooks. Maybe this POL U23 mid week thing could scupper that, but UK would give him good experience on smaller tracks.

Would be an exciting young option if its possible. Maybe the cost is too prohibitive and Newman for sure would probably be a cheaper option living also more locally.

Looks like a longish tail but when you look more closely, all teams would have similar issues to meet 38/39 points anyway.

Any Aussies with experience in professional league would come in on a 5 not a 4 I believe. Same for Fraser Bowes

Denmark top flight only run 12 league fixtures

If the prem in the UK could get to 8 clubs by 2024 maybe 10 clubs by 2025 and just ride home and away once and do away with gimmicks such as pairs or a league cup for the top flight then I am sure UK/Sweden/Denmark could all work together to run Monday-Thursday with some fixture scheduling

 Be lucky if there is 10 clubs by 2025 !
