I don't get why Poole fans are so defensive about suggestions they pay more than some other clubs. It makes perfect sense, they get very good crowds so are in the fortunate position of being able to pay a little bit more if the right man is available. Speedway riders are self-employed and have to maximise their earning potential, so it stands to reason they will sign for a well-run club who can pay a little bit more. I think anyone who suggests they pay well over the top is off the mark, as in anyone who says money isn't a deciding factor.
