So Matt Ford will announce the first Poole signing this evening - and we are to hear from the rider himself!! I wonder if the telephone/video hotline will be to Australia, Denmark, Poland or stay within the UK? I guess there will be further rider announcements at MF's Christmas 'do' for sponsors and friends on 14th !!?

No he doesn't - not after the Rye House adjustments. Poole 7.78; Glasgow 7.71. Just check the 'final' averages on the BSPA website

Well at least 14 of them. Another 14 will be spread across 6 other tracks!!

What's Wimborne got to do with anything? Poole don't ride in the Dorset town of Wimborne!! My post was merely following the theme of ForeverBlue's, because in the overall scheme of things speedway it means very little except to 'the many people of Norfolk'!!

Nobody cares who finishes top - because it won't feature in any historical records!

...added to the fact that Bomber isn't a Poole asset so Poole wouldn't necessarily have first call on his services anyway!!

Matt always has at the very least a plan A, B and C,

Ah, I was told he was back at the pub!!

One thing that would make sense if Covatti has signed is that having also signed for Somerset, he could be based down here at either Matt's or Middlo's? Although like some others, I'm surprised at Ippo letting him go.

24.10 for the top 3 looking very strong. Will Nick Morris still be lodging with Rosco I wonder?

just the financial penalty from the Poles if he gets injured in UK!! Having said that, he hasn't been returning any calls from Wolves!!

But promoters can delay making their rider asset available to others until their 1-7 is confirmed.

What 'scandals'?

So which rider will Matt announce first at Wednesday's fan REF quiznight?

Bjerre I would think.

Bearing in mind Rosco and Morris are like surrogate father and son, if there is any doubt about the track changes then one would think Rosco would be 100% up front with all the riders!!

Any good reason why he wouldn't?

Shanes should have a 2.5% reduction.

Josh G has to get a Premiership place somewhere as he can't double-down now that he rides on a Polish licence.

If MF is 'struggling' financially due to not having a main sponsor, then I would expect a 1-7 of Poole assets!!

Still not replied to Wolves??? Tsk Tsk.

Thought this thread was about the stadium - not the riders/team for 2019?!

When Matt and the 'volunteers' were at the track to take the air fence down for the winter, he stated that with everything Chris Holder had had to put up with in the past year it would be highly unlikely that he would race UK this coming year. Not sure whether the visa issue is still a [problem?

Matt's comments in the Echo today just about nail it!!

Can't see any major signings being announced or confirmed until a new Main Sponsor is in place!!!
