Pirates Of Poole

Holder will be at Poole

The problem is the border agency go by the book, and that causes speedway issues. Without getting into politics too much we should be making our fellow commonwealth countries easier to come over to these shores not harder every time. Am I right in thinking Kurtz's have a British relation?

Good point! would make better sense but Rosco has always rated Chris highly and I can see if an opportunity came up he would grab it.

Interesting to read about Peter looking at giving Britain a miss, means Swindon will be in the market for a new number 1 next season. I got a feeling Rosco will be keeping an eye on Mr Holders situation at Poole and if he becomes available.

All I know is it isn't the 8th and Darcy has not heard when the date is yet still. I don't know the ins and outs of why its been delayed but 'theknow2' is likely correct.

Not sure where the 8th came from but nothing official I have seen, no date has been set still.

Its now the 4th of November and still no date has been set, there was a rumour of the 8th November which is incorrect. The FIM need to get there acts together on this. Regardless if his legal team have been putting excuses in, ignore and simply give him his punishment, his Polish, Swedish and British team can then move on with or with out him.

What secret trial was this Skidder?

Ah ok I see, so Matt was present at the recent Somerset v Edinburgh first leg final?

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

Great to hear you are supporting an up and coming British rider who no doubt is very much thank full for the support.

Great to see some British riders coming on, on a converted 3.51 I would slot him into Poole's top 5 next season.

If teams are looking at 1 british rider instead of 2 I would imagine Poole will track Ellis Perks at 7 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.

I cant see how this is going to work fairly! So if they are looking at a 34 point limit for top 5, rider number 6 can come from this years pool and will remain on 3 but average will change during the season. Rider 7 will come from 10 down from this years final listing. That means the top 10 can be used, looking at the list there are 6 riders I would say suit this - Blackbird, Kerr, Garrity, Newman, Worrall and Wright are of an equal standard but that is only 6 riders and I can see 2 other clubs having weaker riders. Now if they included Birks + another then that would probably equal it out but only if those extra riders can join a team at 6 on a 3.00 average. The other option could be to put the top 10 listed into the main top 5 but can come in on a 3.00 but there rides are going to be tougher and average will increase?

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.

Think that's what Matt needs to look at, its not just Poole as a club connected its the sponsors too!

Missing the second leg of the play off final in 2012 didn't help us much!

Well said! any less rider would have been gone along time ago. We were told when he had his very serious court case a couple of years ago it will change him and he will grow up! 3 further incidents have happened since! Darcy is a lost cause off the track.

The more times I read it the more I lose respect for Matt, he nearly ruined his seasons and effected his business! If we didn't get to the final because of Darcy Matt would not of had that pay out. To dedicate that to Darcy is an absolute joke and like I have said on many occasions it is time to plan Poole with the troublesome Darcy. Holder and Magic is the way to build, riders who are mature and think about situations before doing something very stupid!

Article is a joke, he was the stupid one that drank and got the ban! he was the one that nearly cost our club the title, how many more chances does the guy need before he actually thinks about his actions? I think he has crossed the line too many times already and with 2015 in mind the team should be built around Chris and Magic, add Brady in and we have a good base for a team. I think this article sends the wrong message out to the riders who remained in the team and helped us lift the trophy.

Pitty as Poole are on the look out for a new main sponsor and a very local company would be perfect. You don't really want to sponsor the GP series when your local club needs a backer
