Zach's last Speedway meeting was in September 2018. He apparently stepped away from the sport citing reasons of confidence on the bike. He is 27 now and did become World Long Track Champion in 2025. Could he be fancying a return after 7 years ? and what would be his assessed average ?. More questions than answers.

Jason Garrity ? Who is it ?

Who is it ?

That's a left field choice if true. Can't see it somehow. Can't believe we would be in such a position.

Not if Cook has been signed.

Jamie Etherington would struggle in the Championship based on what I seen of him last season. Don't know much about Heidelberg so can't really comment. Think Cookie would let us down again. Would like us to get the team signed up and announced now. The first 4 signings came in quick succession then a gap indicating we haven't got a full team signed up yet .

yeah think geography would have been a factor in his decision.

I think this is a good shout. Worky track would suit him. Saturday track logistics may be an issue.

It is looking like there may have been a fly in the ointment which is a shame if true considering most teams have had their line ups sorted for a while. If the Cookie rumour has legs then I will be surprised past history considered. If there has been backword from a Danish rider and Cookie has signed then the options are limited. Danyon Hume and Max Perry comes in bang on 40 points if my math is correct. Danyon is a trier and Max has scope for improvement.

You never know in Speedway. Looking like the Anders Rowe defection has worked out well though. Cook the better rider in my opinion. Cairns should kick on while young Cooper finds his feet. Definitely two reserves with bags of potential.

Not a bad way to announce young Cooper by the Pirates 👍

Not long to wait then. Bit of trumpism in the club announcement re season tickets and pricing for next year I think. Stating season ticket prices excellent value to then announce a price increase on general admission. The Harbourmasters meeting is included which the promotion boast as a meeting that fits perfectly with Poole's aim of showcasing the best of young British Talent British 😏

🤣🤣👍

Do you know he has left the Championship behind ?. Haven't seen this in writing. Championship team places do now look extremely limited. Scunny who are yet to announce the remaining pieces of their team jigsaw could fit him in.

Welcome Cooper Rushen. Great enthusiastic young racer whom I would have loved to have seen in Worky Comets kevlars next season. Good luck for 2026 Coops. The Poole fans are indeed lucky to have two of the hottest young prospects in their team for 2026.
