Pirates Of Poole

When did Matt say that? seems strange he would talk in public about Somerset riders for next season.

I guess Poole will want to use Perks then! This tie up between both clubs seems to be working for the coming season with some fantastic new riders coming to these shores.

Jack has signed for Scunthorpe, that is because the tie up between Scunthorpe and Poole. How about Josh back at Somerset?

Will Perks be able to utilise the Elite league reserve system?

I would assume Brady will be sold to Poole and loaned back for the season? Surprised to see Jack Holder go to Scunthorpe and not Somerset as thought that would of suited him.

Well the first they need to do is increase the 32 point limit as we are going to find more riders out of work. My reason is backed up more by the fact unlike previous years we only had 1 rider finish with a 4-5 average 4.66 for Lasse. The rest are all 5+. To weaken this now would another nail in the coffin, we have 2 less teams and 14 more riders to choose from.

Darcy is such a class act on a bike but as a business you have to look at the baggage he brings and trouble, Holder has a mature head on his shoulders and knows the difference between wrong and right. Personally I think Darcy is a better rider than Holder but you can't ignore the issues any more with Darcy. Saying I would not use him next year may be taken out of our hands anyway if he receives a 12 month ban and make the decision easier. My opinion on the league title is simple, since Darcy has acted in stupidity, this will hand the title to Swindon who are currently on a role, I know a lot can happen but that's how I see the current situation.

Is his ban from the FIM or more Polish league?

When is Brady due back?

Darcy has let the club down again and time and time again we use him. I think because he is such a talent we ignore what comes with him but how much more can you put up with, this will be a second playoff he will miss. Next year I hope Matt builds the team around Chris & Jack Holder and Brady Kurtz.

Getting a bit of joke from FIM with regards to a hearing for Darcy, They took 11 days to suspend him and now a long time to arrange a hearing! If this was superbikes or F1 this would have been wrapped up with 7 days lawyers included! Goes to show the FIM stance on speedway!

Will be interesting to know if he was in fact out with any fellow GP boys that night!

Well hopefully they will get on the hearing then we shall all know where we stand, interesting one was Darcy on his own that night or with another rider??

So still no news on the FIM on a hearing date for Darcy, what could be the hold up?

Does anyone know if this will go out live on eurosport?

Batchelor had the right idea to remain in the country to get things sorted. Maybe all the others should have done the same.

Where does it say this?

If everything is signed still don't understand why an announcement has not been made.

I really can't see any reasonable reason how he could be a 3.00, he is Aussie through and through and should be on a 5 like Jack Holder.

Which MAY and I say MAY mean another broadcaster could pick up the TV rights for PL speedway.

Think there will be a few clubs challenging Kurtz 3 point average. Sums this sport up in this country, In the EL they slap stupid 6/7 averages on new exciting talent, then let Kurtz get in on a 3.00 when he has ridden in the under-21 Aussie championship plus the Danish league.

Yes looking great on the Ipad, I have now signed up for 12 months.

Ginsters or Pukka?

Matt should of kept his mouth shut until Sky announced the news. He has made a big boo boo here and needs to do some apologising. The bottom line is you must watch what you say to reporters, they are all looking for that "exclusive'

Looks like Steady is signing number 1
