dabbsjoe Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 If DW has any desire to take part in next season's GP Qualifying Competition he presumably has to contest The Australian Championship from which the Australian entrants are chosen. Does this now put pay to this? it would be touch and go I think, depends if he has to be present at his hearing in January I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Maybe riders will be graded, because North is definitely one of the better 2nd strings from last year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguest Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I doubt that North will sign for Poole in 2015. Could it be that Frost just wanted to offload some assets and Ford just happened to have the money available? Poole have a decent asset and an income. Doubt North had a lot to do with it other than a tempting signing on fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have a decent asset base, but the majority ride abroad. Tell me im curious, which one are you in that Avatar photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole have helped Frost out. North has a good chance of riding for Poole in the furture, anda signing on fee i just dont think youll use him next year.

Bruiser McHuge Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I don't know Dakota North and don't know if he's trouble but unless your an out and out number 1 then the days of spending season upon season with one club are long gone....middle order riders are basically pieces of meat to be shunted around to whoever fits the bill that particular season...they say riders have no loyalty but clubs have even less so I wouldn't read anything into North having a number of clubs....and the more a lower to middle order rider improves their average then the more danger there is to their team place....surely that can't be right ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluTiger Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 He may not but peterborough certainly need money or they wont be running next season But Frost will receive the money, not Peterborough, unless he hands it over to Swales and Rathbone. Be interesting to see if Dakota gets a place at Poole next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Surely riders should be owned by the club thats like saying abramovic owns fabregas You own the registration and only the registration for the UK. A rider can still ride anywhere in Europe or compete in open meetings etc. Border line pointless but I'm not sure it's quite like football clubs claiming they own footballers as speedway clubs are not claiming to won speedway riders.

schoiefan Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Having not been on this forum for some time, I`d like to ask a question about the Play Off final 2nd leg at Poole :- When Maciej Janowski returned to the pit gate after winning heat 13 and clinching the title for Poole, Why was a magazine seller on the track during the meeting with the riders, management, and mechanics??? Do Poole allow any tom, dick or harry onto their track DURING a meeting??? Very strange!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good sales technique IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
