Riders have the power I'm afraid Mike. Glasgow can buy him but if he doesn't want to ride for them he won't. Same with most riders. That's why having them as an asset doesn't mean much these days apart from getting a loan fee if they decide to ride elsewhere or not having to pay a loan fee if they your asset and ride for that team. But hey maybe he does want to go back to Plymouth. I am only going on video interviews he's done about Poole being first choice and Redcar second. Could have changed his mind since then!

Lol. It's Zach. All well and good having assets but you can't force them to ride for you. If they don't want to then they won't. That goes the other way too. I'm sure Poole have plenty of assets who aren't interested, I just can't think of anyone lol. Although tbh when it gets to that stage we usually swap assets with another club. Like Doyle and Magic with Swindon and Basso and Lawson with Glasgow. Interestingly if no Poole Zach's next choice is Redcar...

Exactly. Team building has to be around fitting Ben and Zach in imo.

Only thing I would say to that is a lot of riders ride in Poland at the weekend, so might have less of a choice? Also Berwick had a massive gap in fixtures this year and could be due to teams not agreeing to certain dates as would have riders missing? But we don't know what is happening with the leagues yet and Plymouth need to do what is best for them.

There you go Bagpuss you are officially a Poole fan now lol

Apparently Oxford wouldn't let them sign him? I think it is because of fixture clashes between Edinburgh and the Chargers meeting when Edinburgh did their meeting against us on that Wednesday.

Exactly. Although Scunny reserves are stronger at Poole than the Redcar ones. But saying that I was not expecting Drew to get paid 15! I was thinking more of 7/8.

Pull what back? Last time I looked it was level

"It wasn't altogether to our liking, but that is no excuse.."

No apparently just one. I have asked this question before (when we drew at Redcar)

Didn't Hans Andersen used to do that move all the time in his prime but never got excluded for it.

https://x.com/PboroPanthers/status/1702244255660384394?s=20 Unsurprisingly after last night's crash Ben Cook not riding tonight and Zach stepping in to guest.

Didn't his chain come off??

Of course I do. But then you are always on the Poole ones... '...I don't know if Plymouth will come to the tapes yet ..' Sounds worrying to me.

No but bit more of a challenge now!

How is the wooden spoon!? I would worry more about Plymouth's future tbh than what Poole are doing. https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sport/other-sport/speedway-devon-under-threat-plymouth-8746850#amp-readmore-target

Well done to Scunny. They were just two good for us tonight. Echo what @Pirates Of Poole said, track is same for everyone, so no excuses there plus they just gated a lot better than us. Shame we couldn't hold on to the six point lead we built up but that is the way it goes sometimes. The super heat made for an exciting end to the meeting. Think Dougy tried to slow it down way too late. Although it isn't out of the question for us to win at Scunny. We will just have to completely go for it now and see what happens. But can't win it every year.... ... unfortunately!!

I was thinking more of 'we decided to scrap the playoffs and first place wins the league..'

Listening to the podcast today, I sure I heard Pete Adams say Dougy was suffering from burnout. Is one day rest enough? Might well be, find out soon!

It does say on twitter that they are making an interesting announcement before H1... https://x.com/SpeedwayHumans/status/1702010813924458989?s=20

Not sure about easily. They scored 41 points last time and that was before they signed Kemp. Although we didn't have Lawson riding and Sedge only got 7. Can see a similar scoreline. 12 would be ideal though.

https://x.com/BBCOxford/status/1701907368039043279?s=20 Can at least listen to it if anyone is interested.

Didn't King ride for Sheffield when they were Champ though, so should do well there. Think they were both coming back til points limit got lowered. Anyway according to Poole twitter we are full strength so looks like Zach is riding.
