Oh my! Poole's season going down the toilet. How many home losses is that this season? Well done Somerset

Worrall is cover for Brady - I think you meant Lahti

Can a suspended rider be signed by another club while suspended? If not that will be his season over if he is released before Friday's deadline. EDIT Neil Watson previously posted that Friday is the last date - not Monday

Only as a guest - in his last season, he was the same as now - not interested - little effort. When he's on it he is a good rider but as someone said earlier he is definitely a mood rider. I assume Palm Toft's time at Somerset is over since Houggard is back. He would be worth considering if you were looking to jettison anyone.

I take it you won't be sending him a Christmas card this year. Why do you want to drop Batchelor for good and why wait for August? No team is allowed to replace a rider from 1st August so what would dropping Batchelor achieve (apart from making you feel better)?

Batch has always been a marmite character. Given the current KL situation - get behind the team and deal with the issues after the season is over. It is still possible to make the playoffs.

Good win for BV - well done especially to Bewley and Tungate. Wolves were well beaten with the exception of Masters who did very well.

What a great ride from Bewley to win heat 7 - fantastic

It doesn't really matter whether he is second string or heat leader. As he is in the top 5 and not the #1 rider, he can ride at any position from 2-5. Oops - just noticed that stevebrum said the same above.

The funny side to this is that some Poole fans were going on about waiting to see the great #1 rider that Poole were going to get to replace KK. Lots of big names banded about and then they go and sign EK. Of course EK should do better than KK on the from that he was in but he hardly looks like any major strengthening ahead of the playoffs. The risk is that Poole might not even make the playoffs and, if they do, they will be cannon fodder.

Best I can do about what? As I said what are you wittering on about?

This was it! What are you wittering on about now?

Well Adam Ellis' dad had something to say about loyalty the other day on this forum (or lack of it) Post #6217 on this thread!

Doh! You just did!

No need to blame me thanks. Actually I woke up laughing when I remembered yesterday's news and it's still hilarious 😂

Surely Richie Worrall is a better option than Edward Kennett? Having slept on the EK replacing KK announcement..... I still think EK is a poor signing for the (less than) mighty Pirates and they better hope KL don't get themselves sorted because they are there for the taking. Still a very strange move - and to think certain Poole fans laughed at the Swindon team at the start of the season - who have now beaten them twice at home. Karma is a b*gger.

Clearly I don't !

Who cares?

I wasn't aware BV were looking for a new rider - what with them being the top British club. As for signing EK - hahahahahahahahahahaha :rofl:

Nutters!

I think that change may cost Poole a place in the play offs - very strange indeed.

:rofl: :rofl: At least he will score roughly the same as KK away from home and should score a couple of points more at home. Seems strange to replace a 9 point rider with a 6 point one.

About as much sense as signing (and retaining) KK when there was an opportunity to replace when injured.

That's where you're wrong. Most people including Gavan don't have a problem with Poole at all - it's fans like you and SS he has a problem with - and he's not alone

The juggernaut keeps rolling. Another big win for the rampant Robins And better still they have leap-frogged Poole into 3rd in the table
