Gavan Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Them perhaps Swindon should have invested for the future with some British kids. thats rich coming from a Poole fan who show no development in young brits at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Steve would've been mad to have signed for Swindon rather than riding harder races in the Premier League if he would've had the choice. Fair play to the lad though as he is doing well in all 3 leagues & Swindon will miss him when fixtures clash.Sorry but is Benji Compton really the best guest we can get?. That's 10-2 to Poole in the reserves races then. Greenwood can certainly beat Smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) thats rich coming from a Poole fan who show no development in young brits at all. Conveniently forgetting Poole's partnership with Scunthorpe!!!!!! But I guess if you want to have yet another unjustified pop at Poole, then you will!!!! Getting back to the thread, I think these meetings could well be much closer than many seem to think. Poole certainly haven't clicked 100% yet and Friday night will be Poole's first away meeting so we'll see how Magic, Shamek and Vaclav get on - not forgetting Smart of course!!

Crazy robin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Greenwood can certainly beat Smart. I used to look forward to the battles between Phil Crump vs. Peter Collins & Leigh Adams vs. Jason Crump but you're right what do they matter when you can see Lee Smart vs. Dan Greenwood:-( Edited April 15, 2014 by Crazy robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Conveniently forgetting Poole's partnership with Scunthorpe!!!!!! But I guess if you want to have yet another unjustified pop at Poole, then you will!!!! lets have a chat when Poole put Brits into the team (apart from the ones they have to) and maybe i will change my mind. but for now if you ask anybody that isnt a Poole fan you will get the same answer that Poole do nothing to promote young brits. Yes the link with Scunthorpe may change that but their treatment of Howarth last year was awful. But please if you could just single me out as the only person who has said this then great!

Come on Skidder even you have to admit that Poole have never supported a National Lge team & only now have a link with Scunthorpe because it suits their needs & do not have a history of bringing young British riders through?. Yes fair play to them for doing the link with Scunny as other clubs like Swindon had a chance to do it as well but please don't let that gloss over the facts of what they've done before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Having watched the meeting last night I am not too worried about the meetings on friday. Not having Steve Worrall is a major loss and Poole have a very good reserve in Kyle Newman. A lot will depend if Magic has an on or off night. The Robins will match the rest of the team, should win at home and get at least a point in Dorset. Both SS and Starman are getting their excuses in already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Think these could be closer affairs than certain Robins fans are giving credit for. No Worrall is a blow, but still expect to hold 3-3's in the reserve races (so not a comfortable 10-2 swing as mentioned earlier). Top 5's are well matched. Be happy with 3 points from the 2 meetings.

stevebrum Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Conveniently forgetting Poole's partnership with Scunthorpe!!!!!! But I guess if you want to have yet another unjustified pop at Poole, then you will!!!! Poole/Ford should be applauded for doing something with an eye to the British future, however until Poole actually utilise any promising youngsters from the Stags development programme then they haven't contributed anything other than finance right now and have played no part in any youngsters development from Scunthorpe so far. But like i say, if more EL/PL teams linked up with NL sides it might just help to put more into the next generation. Both SS and Starman are getting their excuses in already. Its either excuses or walks in the park for them. Little modesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Come on Skidder even you have to admit that Poole have never supported a National Lge team & only now have a link with Scunthorpe because it suits their needs & do not have a history of bringing young British riders through?. Could have sworn that Poole ran a NL team for two seasons with the Buccs. Or was that my imagination? When did Swindon last run a NL team? Amazing how people from other clubs like to throw stones yet their own promotion dont do anything to help the youngsters. Poole have a link up with Scunthorpe, and pay a lot of money out in the youth developement up there. Without Matt Fords input there would be no Scunthorpe NL side. Where does Swindon have the same link up? I see Gavan is back from his short sabatical and straight back on the Poole thread slagging away. He just doesnt seem to learn. LOL!

Yes I do - I rate Benji quite a bit higher than Lee Smart and Dan Greenwood on a par, so far from a foregone conclusion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes CR I agree with RR and also reckon Benji will beat Smart, and if Smart makes the gate he will be so surprised he will fall off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I used to look forward to the battles between Phil Crump vs. Peter Collins & Leigh Adams vs. Jason Crump but you're right what do they matter when you can see Lee Smart vs. Dan Greenwood:-( Your constant griping about the new format has no logic to it. In the past, when Crump rode Collins, assuming they were riding in number 3 under the old 13 heat format, the other two riders in the heat could have been Gary Chessell and Declan Eccles. Now when your top boys meet they are always up against fellow heat leaders or second strings, which gives greater parity to the heat. Like wise reserves are meeting each other and second strings, and already they are taking points off second strings. If you're of the belief that the two reserves in a team should be foreigners that are capable of 7.50 averages then you're never going to be happy with the new format, but throughout Speedways history there has always been strung out races and the new format has done nothing to increase it.

If I wanted to watch National League riders then I would pay to do it & it has nothing to do with having foreigners at reserve either. It's a view & there's no right or wrong on it that's all.

Oh yeah that great 2 seasons of support & only one more season than Swindon did then so hardly makes Poole the saviours of young British riders. All credit to Poole for getting involved with Scunny which is exactly what I said but hey don't let that stop you Steve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think Swindon missed a trick not making S Worrall an asset once they got him in the draft. It's going to hit them hard every time Edinburgh ride on the same night, bit of a farce really. I see Belle Vue have announced the diving of Steve Worrall as an asset.

Crazy robin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I see Belle Vue have announced the diving of Steve Worrall as an asset. Great move by them but strange as Steve said that he wanted to go out on his own & not ride in the same team as Richie & I imagine Richie will be at Belle Vue for the long term if they have any sense.

A ORLOV Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I see Belle Vue have announced the "diving" of Steve Worrall as an asset. He should do well on a wet track, no wonder he has signed for Belle Vue. Swindon slipped up there. What now happens re our draft reserve if they need him in their 1 - 5 Edited April 15, 2014 by A ORLOV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Newman started in the NDL with the Buccaneers at Poole, anything wrong with that? The lads keen, he's a local lad wants to ride for poole and wants to be the best he can. And he's English... He'l have my support all day long.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
