SteveEvans Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think a rule is needed to ensure that the Turbo Triplets (Chris, Darcy and Greg) are all able to be on the team for 2014. And I think for the good of the sport add in KK to boot as its not fair on paying fans when he rides for other teams when he only is guaranteed to try for one. I have an idea. Let's have a HOT LAP! 4 riders on the track, After every lap.. The rider in last is eliminated. This means more excitement, Riders are more likely to go for moves in every lap.. = More entertainment for fans. We've done this in California as a half time show. Obviously cant be a part of the match but its an example of the creative touches that could exist in the UK to add some show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea, as long as Poole can afford them all.... Can only increase the crowds at all the tracks they visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveEvans Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Its a win win for everybody. Or perhaps allow a rule where Poole can sign any 7 riders they want but to give everyone else a chance David Moyes has to be Middlo's joint team manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea would certainly even things up a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump99 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I do feel that we're drifting slightly from the point here as well as on the wrong thread. You mentioned music, what was your suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means more excitement, Riders are more likely to go for moves in every lap.. = More entertainment for fans. Been done...back in the late eighties/early nineties...it was called the one lap dash or something similar, I believe it was an idea that was first done in Australia.

Been done...back in the late eighties/early nineties...it was called the one lap dash or something similar, I believe it was an idea that was first done in Australia. It should be brought back. It provides excitement. The rider eliminated in 4th gets nothing Rider in 3rd gets £500 Rider in 2nd gets £1000 Winner gets £5000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One interesting point is if they don't get jobs in UK next year, can they still get a UK visa?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One interesting point is if they don't get jobs in UK next year, can they still get a UK visa?? Not if they are not European citizens. An Aussie without a work contract in the UK will not get one and will not gain access to the UK to live here I should imagine.. Not sure what the rules are on Aussies getting a work permit for European countries. Being a top international rider should help some Aussies like Ward and Holder get work permits for Poland and Sweden. Whatever team Matt puts out next year, no matter what team building limits are in place, you can guarentee we will be at the pointy end come the end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you had an awful starting 1-7 that you have still failed to acknowledge Wards injury enabled you to strengthen so injuries have helped you this season. And you can always be safe in the knowledge if you are struggling that you can always cheat like this year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this way it would hopefully make the new league an even playing field I'm a Poole fan but i'm under no illusion when it comes to Matt Ford's tactics. It seems quite clear to me that Matt didn't believe the Pirates would make it through to the final and made this press statement purely to try and bolster ticket sales last Monday. I wouldn't pay much attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
