emilali Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I may have missed somethinf but can somebody explain how people are talking about Newman in one of the reserve berths? I thought the reserves were from the NL, Newman is not a NL rider? Is this in the interests of speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No evidence but just have a go hey. The full information has not come out yet. I do not know if Newman will be eligible or not. I will just wait and see like everyone has to.  If Poole have Newman and every other team is allocated riders with a lower average then I will join you and call foul.  However, until then I will keep my powder dry as should everyone who is in the dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Confirmed that Holder will not start the year in Britain. That's a shame - hope its not the last we see of him in regular action in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 This wont be the last. Think it was simply him or Ward for the start of the season. This means Poole will have a more balanced side. Very sad to see him go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Holder will have been put off by the fixture list, 40 matches including play offs. May well put off a few more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Newman should be a reserve if the BSPA are serious in helping future British stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole Quay 7 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Think Poole may well be going with Ward & KK Â Â Ward is nailed on. Â KK has got his re-arranged testimonial at Poole next season so he should give his all for the Pirates if chosen!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedwayfun Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 What I find most odd, apart from the insults and put downs from crazy robin, is the number of anti poole pirates posters on here. Most strange for a Poole Pirates forum don't you think. Successful club yet people do not understand how little many other clubs do not promote themselves. I do also think poole could work a lot harder at it too. Mention speedway in some circles and you get blank looks. Even though we have a world champion. Makes you think and wonder what the organisations are doing for speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirateboy1993 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Alot of people dont understand basic practicalities of running a speedway club its no a case of oh just sign him and him then all point a finger at poole, have any of you poole haters got any good reason that can be backed up with hard facts that are isolated incidents that only occur at poole, please note I will not accept green eyes or jealousy as a answer.

Crazy robin Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Crazy robin - why do you have to be so insulting. Whining - is there any need for that on an open forum. Â Are you a pirates fan then.? Â The main problem is that clubs are not being promoted - why do we have to suffer a lower quality because of bad business by some promoters. ? Â I could just imagine what would be said if something like this was applied to the Premier league in football. Sorry if you feel insulted by the word I used & maybe moaning would have been better. Â No not a Poole fan although have watched speedway a lot there over the years as spend a fair bit of time holidaying on the South Coast & have always enjoyed it as a neutral speedway fan on the night. Â Other promotors do promote but don't do it as a full time job & also as has been said before the are in & around Poole is a very wealthy area which must help. Â This is speedway & so to compare it to football is totally irrelevant & these rules have always been around just like rider control was in the 60's, 70's & 80's. Â In those days Chris or Darcy would have been given to another club & there would've been nothing anyone could do about it. Â Things had to change & whilst I don't agree with some of them we simply can't have riders threatening to walk away if they can't have their own way. What I find most odd, apart from the insults and put downs from crazy robin, is the number of anti poole pirates posters on here. Most strange for a Poole Pirates forum don't you think. Successful club yet people do not understand how little many other clubs do not promote themselves. I do also think poole could work a lot harder at it too. Mention speedway in some circles and you get blank looks. Even though we have a world champion. Makes you think and wonder what the organisations are doing for speedway? Crikey just because I don't agree with you that everything is stacked against Poole is hardly an insult or put down to you or to Poole fans. Â This is a forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwayfun Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 As I have said. It is quite odd that so many fans from other clubs want to come on here and have a go at poole. I detect a hint of jealousy. Â It is not irrelevant to examine how other sports conduct themselves. Most importantly it is advertising the sport. Get the names out there and the excitement of racing. I believe that promoters /clubs are suffering from a type of fatigue, continually struggling to break even. It is very difficult for them but advertise, advertise , advertise. Make a lot of noise about our world champion. Â It is not just the other clubs but poole also really do not splash the sport everywhere.

TesarRacing Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Disappointed with the news that Holder will not be riding in the UK in 2014 - great rider to watch. There is nothing to stop him from riding for another team though is there, if the points limit it the reason Poole are not using him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
