John Leslie Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Sounds like Matt Ford is already thinking how he can fiddle the reserve berths and dump Lee Smart. ...Robert Lambert in? From Bournemouth Echo. "However, Ford revealed the makeup of Poole's tail end could yet change, depending on Smart's availability. Ford added: 'I have yet to speak to Lee and we need to discuss the balance of his commitments. The reserve system is new to everybody and there might be some teething problems. There are one or two riders still about so we will see what the next few weeks bring.'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no Poole fan but surely all he is saying is that if Smart is going to miss lots of meetings then he can pick one of the 3 riders not drafted yesterday?? Pretty sure these riders were low down in the draft rankings so not exactly sure what he is doing wrong?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yep that article was written to p*** off certain members of this forum and get them all second guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Would have thought R.Lambert could only replace Newman both being in the top grade of the riders .. I presume Lambert will be available after his birthday when he is old enough to ride..Then watch the scramble for his signature,,Who has the biggest cheque book,???

weatherwatcher Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Surely if the BPSA have already told which team they are going to that is the end of the story. Or you are going to be breaking the rules that they have already set up with these reserve riders. If a team are not happy with who they have then it is up to the BPSA to sort it out for them not allow the team promoter manager etc decied they don't like what they have got and tell them in no uncertain terms that I thinlk you will be below the standard of the rider we need to win win the league and that is all that this is about. No give the lads a chance to prove themselves. Don't like you don't want you in my team I will chose myself who I want. That could go for every team. I am glad to see when I read Leicester Lions webpage that they are glad to welcome both of the lads. One fairly good the other an up and coming talent. But no problems with them they have both been made welcome and they where wished the best and with the hope that they can improve. Shame all the other teams or is it just one that is not a happy bunny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 If it's a case of bringing in Hopwood, Ritchings or Greenwood instead then don't see what the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionking Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I thought all riders were on the same deal ?

500cc Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 If it's a case of bringing in Hopwood, Ritchings or Greenwood instead then don't see what the problem is. It won't be any of those riders. Ford has set his targets much higher (with due respect to these guys who are all good riders). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is any doubting the answer to that question, hence the suspicion that Robert Lambert will be smuggled into the Poole line-up as soon as he comes of age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbo Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 This is the start of the great Poole machine rumbling before it strikes, when young Lambert reaches 16 he should be "allocated" not negotiated by our good friend Mr.Ford, fiddling started already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 © Holder is the "smart" move. In all seriousness, I thought it was an odd pick, especially as he has since said he did not really know anything about him. When Ford picked, did he have the choice of a higher rated rider?

Pretty sure these riders were low down in the draft rankings so not exactly sure what he is doing wrong?? if he thought Smart was going to miss meetings why did he Pick him ? because he is the Ultimate cheat and there is some plan that's why 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 The Robert Lambert idea must be wide of the mark.....he was one of the seven from the original reserve draft list who couldn't / wouldn't commit to the conditions laid down and as such those riders can't be considered until next year if they are still eligible. Otherwise the draft would have to be staged all over again to be fair to all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 We all know there is some plan here. Bet you Smart rides no more than 3 meetings and Holder will be in at some point. The man had the cheek to blast Coventry then pulls this stunt. People wonder why Poole are disliked 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume Lambert will be available after his birthday when he is old enough to ride..Then watch the scramble for his signature,,Who has the biggest cheque book,??? Lambert as a top grade rider?? I doubt it. And why should he be? the lad is still only 15!! I don't think there is any doubting the answer to that question, hence the suspicion that Robert Lambert will be smuggled into the Poole line-up as soon as he comes of age C`mon, we are all thinking it. Wont be a major surprise if Lambert suddenly ends up at Poole in the Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
