Both are on above 5 point averages. That awkward figure with a 40 point limit. Both were heralded as future GB stars. Also likely to miss out are the 2 Americans. Nichol and Ruml. Add Dan Thompson to that list. Also Batch the highest average rider missing out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole will be ruthless but won't splash the cash, your getting us mixed up with a team alot further north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't give a jot about Yanks to be honest. Shame about Dan, but Kemp and Rowe have developed a reputation for being high maintenance and sulkers. Hopefully all 3 can find opportunities and that 2 of them can reflect that behaviour and demeanour off the track can be as important as points on it.

As for Poole, erm tenants, no investment in track or stadium, backhand deals and gazumping riders like Lawson and Roynon.

They have certainly invested in the track, best it's been for years, with the uncertainty with the stadium why would they invest in it at this present time What's this with the Roynan thing, new one on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I think it’s criminal if young dan Thompson doesn’t find a place to ride in this league what sort of message does that send out to the young riders that we will bring foreign riders in before using our own no wonder people become disillusioned with our sport. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with being a the main or major team GB sponsor for those GB meeting. Could be wrong but do you not also bid (as in with cash) to host these meeting rather than selected not sure if still the case now however.

This is British Speedway in a nutshell, a young, polite, loyal, improving rider who has probably had his best year ever, be high on confidence and thinking he's ticking all the right boxes and could well find himself out in the cold. To me, the team average should be high 40s if not low 50s, makes no difference if teams can't build to the maximum but would keep riders like Dan in a job and in the sport.

My point was they’re more paid for these meetings than allocated. But yes they have massively invested into team GB I’ll give them that.

Stevierol Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I am sure Dan would be in a team by now if actual averages from last season were used instead of higher assessed averages applied to some riders.

He would be in Poole's team if they didn't dump after they had agreed a deal, now other teams have stayed true to the riders who they've agreed deals with and dan doesn't have a club to begin the season with in the championship.
