Lowering the points limit has never worked before don’t understand why they persist with this nonsense.

All it means is mediocrity is being rewarded.

And to compound matters they increase admission for a weaker product.

It's a couple of quid at most clubs they still have bills to pay which will of also gone up aswel

Drew Kemp thought he was a good signing last season but his attitude after winning the play off was awful completely sulking unless he had a family issue then don't think Poole fans would want him back.

I have no issue with him coming back. That was just one meeting so feels a bit harsh to say 'no thanks'. Most of the season he was fine and average increased by 1.5 points. I think his inconsistentcy is more of an issue though.

Fair point Lisa the Ford's don't get much wrong and if he is in next year's team who am I to judge just didn't understand his behaviour at not wanting to be involved in the final celebration.

Possibly because he'd just been told he wasn't in the 2023 team plans?!

Silly time to tell someone! Should wait til after the final. 

As Danny Ford explained - The final leg at KL was the last time all the riders would be together and some were asking to be told about 2023 team places so they could pursue potential places elsewhere if necessary.

Incidentally I note Drew has secured a Polish U24 league place - as has Nathan.

James Wright was brilliant and consistent riding for the Diamonds, mostly in a heat leader position too, so I would not be surprised if his average was lowered once his Newcastle results came off, he would've been one of the first names on my team sheet if we still existed, along with Max and Matty again... I miss it already :sad:
