poole keith

Good news Arthur,nobody's ever been able to predict Mr Osbornes plans,so who knows about the future,pretty obvious something has to happen at the stadium site but what and when ??Matt could well be one of the last to find out knowing Clark.Nothing supporters can do just enjoy

your almost certainly correct there neila,but a decision that makes perfect sense ,giving cairns some competitive experience around wimborne rd before his championship debut,also fords know these level of events are poorly supported at poole but there will presumably be a good turnout to see this much hyped new poole signing,also im guessing he would have a good chance of winning the event , thus also keeping our many pot hunters happy !!!ha ha

Overlapping posts there, need to type quicker!

I know some will but its difficult to disagree with your thinking steve hols,would think though its difficult nay near impossible for a lad still in full time education who can't drive to compete in the championship, but like you say it would have been good to give a British youngster a go or maybe a couple sharing the gig

Exactly clive ,as you say the ambition is to win the competition they're in,not the top competition ,that would be ambition.I fully understand all the reasons for staying where they are and if it was my decision I would do the same however going back I don't think matt would have been content with lower league speedway

Doesn't say much about poole supporters lisa if there's only two Premiership teams they'd turn up to watch

Gambling company's, stadium owners or developers don't have any responsibility or probably interest in providing a venue for speedway, it was up to speedway to protect its own future but sadly bar a few exceptions it didn't,most promotions just went for the cheap option, you reap what you sow!!

Well that's exactly what they're having to do bitza but when you do that it's no longer a championship team is it,but back to your initial point I maintain ther is a massive and possibly widening gap between the two leagues

theyre not so similar though bitza if the regular poole team raced sheffield , poole would be annihilated ,hence the need to bring in two top riders in order to be competitive.If it did go ahead with usual teams sheffield wouldnt be interested.Tho a decent enough crowd would turn up at poole to watch tai and the holders im sure most sheffield fans wouldnt bother to watch a poole champioship team especially if sheffield had easily won the away leg

Disagree pinny,2026 a championship club has to move up to replace brum,Plymouth drop down as you suggest means remaining championship teams would have only six teams to ride against,that's pretty sh-t, It's up to british speedway and other championship clubs in particular to make sure its a competitive league, uneven teams make for boring speedway

Perhaps better supporters

I certainly would guess that over a third of those don't go to any other meetings, just end of season play offs and cup finals lisa

I said "at that age"blue,screenie straight into the top league, remember when think it was leigh Adams was tearing up the national league(now championship)and a 17yr old screen came down to poole for three match races against him and leigh couldn't get near him,Cairns is going to have to go some to be better than screen in the early yrs

Assume Cairns could have gone to any div2 team but poole would be fairly logical choice.If he's as talented as people think then those advising and controlling his progress will probably want him at Poole for 25 and 26 seasons after that need to move on,wouldn't think his Polish club will want him racing in british lower league to long,great for poole could start 26 as second string and finish as heat leader!! Only time will tell though, will he be as good as Joe screen at that age???
