theblueboy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Josh last season improved his level and has to maintain his end of season form ro be a 6 point rider, Morris should improve a little but batch wont and I cant see kuldemand improving much whreas Darcy will improve after a poor start to last season he will improve by half a point in my opinion So the Poole team has the capabilities but the Robins don't? You could argue that Batchelor is still improving. He is not that far below GP standard and has stated that last year's financial worries hampered the team, so it is not unreasonable to think there is more to come. I think if he were to get in to the GP's then there would be even more to come as he would be riding at a better level against better riders. Kildemand has increased his average by 4 points in 2 seasons and he has made giant strides over that time. Given his propensity to have thrown away plenty of points by thinking he is Colt Seavers, a more measured approach will definitely reap benefits and no reason why he cannot continue to improve...say 1/2 point? He'l be back. Darcys a changed lad. Has Australia introduced a drink and drugs ban since he was last there then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Really? In a league that is severely watered down you don't think Morris will continue to improve? Kildemand probably the most exciting rider in the league - after Ward and Batch being able to maintain or improve his level back to his best year at Peterborough? I think you are wrong but we will see. Can I ask where you think the improvement will come from Poole's announced riders in the 1-5? Ward is already top of the averages and Josh G has been around for 6 years and hardly set the world on fire in that time - and now in the 1-5 rather than reserve? ah but this is anti poole bile isn't it? I said poole haven't built there side yet. a high flying reserve in the top 5 though Wards class speaks for itself and im accused of poole bashing Josh G a heat leader?????? not in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Has Australia introduced a drink and drugs ban since he was last there then? Im glad you put that smilley there, because those who knock him will be eating their words mate come next October, believe me... Josh G a heat leader?????? not in my book Don't know much about your book mate, but he has the potential to be just that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Josh has the capabillities of becoming a heatleader eventually, Haven't seen any evidence of this yet. He has been around the fringes of the EL for a while now. Poole fans probably see a lot more of his abilities and a lot will depend on him improving his average again this season.

Crazy robin Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Amazing how a rider in a Poole race suit suddenly becomes a potential heat leader when they've shown no evidence in the past at Swindon or Belle Vue. Just waiting for him being a potential GP rider post next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesarRacing Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 The Grin put bums on seats and was not as expensive as people seem to think. So how many extra came through the turnstiles would you say following his signing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for him being a potential GP rider post next. The potential gp rider is apparently Robert Lambert if you believe kings lynn fans! Personally think josh will be a top second string but heat leader pushing it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 So how many extra came through the turnstiles would you say following his signing? No idea as I don't count the crowd. However talking to people who do know I'm led to believe he certainly increased the gate at Poole and at away tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Fickle Poole fans probably. Team was awful at the start so the fans stayed away. Start winning matches and sign a legend and back they come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start winning matches and sign a legend and back they come Must be a lot of closet Poole fans at Coventry. Horton recently commented about how much the gate increases when Poole are the visitors. I also read comments about certain tracks needing attendances in the high hundreds, I believe one track quoted 800, to break even. The attendances at Poole are regularly in the thousands so I guess we're not as 'fickle' as the other tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poole Quay 7 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Fickle Poole fans probably. Team was awful at the start so the fans stayed away. Start winning matches and sign a legend and back they come Give it a rest gavin. Not for the first time you are making a fool of yourself at the expense of Poole. Yes, we do have some fickle fans at Poole but you show me a speedway or even football club that hasn't? If you don't like Poole Speedway then fine, and if there are certain aspects you like about Poole then great. From what I've read, you can at times, be capable of giving constructive criticism but these points get lost within the predictable, snide and spitefully critical remarks. It is no better than flaming rhetoric from a troll and that's why very few people take you seriously about your comments on Poole. Cue yet another wriggling reply on the lines of.....It ain't me gov........ you just don't understand me!

Id suggest the big crowd for Cov v Poole is because of the recent history more than the riders on show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly went to Poole the season they finished bottom & there wasn't many there at all & could easily get a seat in the main stand every time so there' were plenty of fickle fans then. Were you one of them as you seem to have forgot that?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
