Yes, hurry up Plymouth. Name your team! :D

So if we had Drew prob have Nathan at 7 to fit.

They might be struggling to do that soon, if Poole have gazumped someone they had lined up for their Team. 

Just a possibility of course. 

Bit of a case of deja vu perhaps?

I don't believe that, I suspect all teams are complete just not announced yet.

Especially as Matt/Danny Ford tend to spread the news and use the Evening Echo space wisely to get the maximum in media coverage outside of Bournemouth Football or other spots grabbing headlines. Also gets the news out there more often to both fans and potential sponsors.

seen him in a number of meetings in Poland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and in each he's had really bad rides and falls.

good rider though, with a good style for a tall lad, but i'll stick to what i've seen

Sad news, but still stick with my assessment of Rew

Some teams were complete but had riders let them down late on. 

Redcar have already confirmed that as has the rider involved who went elsewhere. 

It's quite likely that Poole have gazumped a couple if they go Plan A to Z especially if British. 

BTW I was the first to suggest Jack Thomas to Poole and believe that is Nailed on and has been for weeks

I suppose no team is complete until riders have signed the club contract so if Poole have as you suggest gazumped a couple then it's like man utd or man city come calling you don't think twice as big crowds and possibility of winning trophies is a deciding factor and do Poole pay more money I've no idea but would think Glasgow are the top payers no evidence at all but just a guess.Who was the Redcar rider who run away to another team.As for Jack Thomas if your initial suggestion is true he could be a trump card at reserve.

They seem to think on the SGB podcast that he won't be starting the season in the Champ with anyone. Crazy! 

That's a home weighted average for you unfortunately.

Has to be some way to incentivise clubs to sign him rather than some of the non British second strings that have got places, a young promising Brit shouldn't be starting the season without a second division team spot.

Yes, I did think about that the other day. Most of the average is from Leicester and they are not even in the league. So chances are it will go down not up to start with anyway. Be interesting to know what his away average was.

Feel sorry for him, I think he is a good rider who could be very good with the right management, certainly has a lot of potential. I hope he does well for Leicester this season, he certainly rides his home track very well and if he doesn't have a CL place now I am sure he will get one later in the season.
