Pirates Of Poole

So club hope the number 2 position will be resolved for the away meeting at Edinburgh on the 6th August.

Wonder if we will be able to track the new rider on Saturday!

Will be interesting to see which way Poole go now, like you say limited availability on 5.00 point average out there.

I can't remember Championship builds is it 39.00? if so Poole have 6.27 to spare or if its 38.00 5.27 to spare now.

So with Zane now gone how many points does that leave us with for his replacement?

Is there a live feed to watch this match online?

Think to be honest, Danny should know better, and not even mentioned the last sentence! as he knows better than anyone it can be taken out of context. As a Poole fan I am worried how the greyhound owners have treated Reading (still a car park for football) and Swindon and the fact there is a lot of 'parties' involved that reads not just council and stadia UK. Think if anything underhand does start to surface like back at the end of 1995, the council will have a massive back lash from locals & supporters!

Welcome to Poole, Rory! He joins Danny, Steve, Ben, Zane & Stefan.

surely his average would be 12.00

Will depend who the ‘young star’ is.

So with Danny saying a few changes - we now know 2, Adam & Josh who will be the third?

That rules Rowe then! Did I read today the young star we want was also close to signing for 2020 but just missed out?

We could look like this then - 1.R Schlein 2. Josh M 3. S Worrall 4. S Nielsen 5. D King 6. Z Keleher 7. A Rowe

Be very surprised to see Rory at Poole in 202, would require 3 changes to allow this to happen.

Now Chris Holder would be a massive signing and statement - But unsure of his converted average.

So Championship average would be 5.56 - I would say that's a risk worth taking.

Also wonder if Bridger would also want to do the championship along with top flight if he decides to return

Does that mean Chris Harris will be released?

Anything said regarding the league in 2021?

Maybe in the top flight? as I'm sure Adam will look to move top flight team if not.

I wonder now, with all the major changes with rider availability and the likely hood of a weaker product, will the Poole managing choose to return to the top flight for 2021 to boost the numbers? Cost wise and points limit wise, in the top flight (just an example) we could track the same 6 as we know Ellis isn’t available and replace him with someone like Chris Holder? We know Chris would cost more than Adam, but with the additional tv money on the table surely this would make it a level playing field on budgets? Last year, it was down to the losses of 2019 (N1CC - as reported in the echo this week £21,000) and breaking even, surely a much weaker top flight would be more viable for Poole?

Clearly we don’t have enough riders available to cover the 19 teams. With restrictions on Polish rules etc just seen an article from CVS - surely he is right and we shall move to 6 man teams in 2021 so we can cover rider availability? With that the team average will reduce accordingly. Be then interesting to see if any top flight clubs or even Champ owners may wish to move leagues as unable to track a competitive side. Wonder if we will see any teams coming down and others going up?

Sorry if I missed it! Is or has there been an AGM for 2020? Do we have the same rules as last year? will all teams line up? maybe 1 league? Surely with the good news of vaccine's for early 2020 we should be making plans to return to the track in the spring?

Do you know how much each club will get per year from Eurosport?

Pity that wasn’t the money offered for the 5 year British Speedway TV deal as that would bring the top riders back!
