LisaColette Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Just for the record - re the Holder v Ward question - on the Poole forum , 63% of voters selected Darcy Ward as their preferred Number 1. And judging by the loud applause he got at the Awards night, Darcy is still very much a favourite amongst Poole fans. Did the 63% think that if you wait on Darcy and he gets a year ban, no other top rider will wait to January to see if you need them. So potentially mess our season up before it's begun. Ward should do Poole a favour and say he doesn't want to ride UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Chris Holder or other riders really wait to see if the "prodigal son/waster" gets off "AGAIN" in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just curious to know why you want to know who Poole are signing when all you can do is slate them.............and misquote the management and fans frequently............ Announcements due in the next couple of weeks if you bother to read the local paper................ RP Oh dear another one still pedalling the `anti woe is me you all hate Poole` vibe. If you could bother to put up links then others might be interested to read them. I am not sure if you grasp this forum lark - think you will find supporters of lots of clubs posting suggestions on other teams threads. I guess that may be due to the silly season of trying to guess what's happening with others teams. Can you show me these recent `slates` I have made on Poole?? They will be easy to find seeing as that's `all I do`. One of my last posts was saying that you will have another top team in 2015. I suppose that's `anti` Poole eh?! Attacking when suiting as usual. Off you go and come back with something of interest for a change. I would imagine yourself like your fellow Poole fan Starman (#495) will only reply to those that suit. lisa-colette, on 29 Nov 2014 - 11:36 PM, said: Ward should do Poole a favour and say he doesn't want to ride UK. MF should do Poole fans a favour a tell em that Noddy and Magic will be back. I would imagine that would suit virtually all Poole fans (besides the odd 2 that cant see it!).

scribbler Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I remember Gordon very well too. Back in 1965 when returning home from a meeting at Wimbledon when we saw Gordon's van stranded on the A45 in Coventry. We stopped to see if we could help and found Gordon under the bonnet trying to sort out the problem.We asked if he needed help and he said yes as he didn't have a clue what was wrong. We sorted out his problem and got him going again, both Gordon and Elaine were full of thanks as they left. After that he always came over and for a chat when he saw us at meetings and was always a very friendly guy, and easy to get along with. Still think about him even now. I'm back in touch with Elaine and they have three grandsons and a grand daughter. His bike and other memorabilia are in a Speedway museum in Australia. His name is on a Roll of Honour Board In honour of Australian riders who lost their lives whilst riding Speedway, both solo riders and sidecar riders and passengers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Im really confused why Poole are not pulling out all the stops to make their top 2 Holder and Magic. I can understand with gp commitments Magic might not come back but he really was the reason Poole won the league last season. Dont understand why Ford is waiting on Darcy. Could scupper the whole team building if , as expected, he gets the ban he deserves. Poole will always build a decent team, its the one thing Ford is good at, but waiting for a loose cannon that if signed again could cause more issues is a huge risk. Just waiting for Starman to say the above is anti poole lo. This is the starman who cant actually read when other Poole fans mock him (sorry chrisgillian you will never get his response) cant read that Poole fans want Holder not Ward. But yet amazingly can attack and mock anyone else....................amazing Still it gives the forum a laugh when he posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I think regardless of whether Ward is available, Poole have a potential championship winning side: With Ward: Holder (8.75) Ward (8.70) Pawlicki (6.75) Fricke (4.84) Masters (4.93) Without Ward: Holder (8.75) Janowski (7.50) Pawlicki (6.75) Zengota (6.16) Fricke (4.84) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Fricke and masters cant double up.

Magic deserves a place after last years heroics. Other riders except Tai seem to think they can do gp and EL, janowski has said he has re thought his original view and could do EL and Holder has expressed a wish to come back. Bit worried some have said watt could come back, that would be a disaster in my opinion, I would keep pawlicki who had some good performances last season.

MattK Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Fricke and masters cant double up. Have you got a link to that? If they are self-employed, how can they be restricted to only one "employer"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Have you got a link to that? If they are self-employed, how can they be restricted to only one "employer"? Could be to do with visa restrictions. There was something on the Edinburgh press release about the Fricke situation. (although it may be linked to whether they have a Polish/Swedish team place?)

DunRobin Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Have you got a link to that? If they are self-employed, how can they be restricted to only one "employer"? Because they are non-EU. Restrictions can be placed on temporary work permits for oversea's visitors. The Home Office have obviously been told to look at making it more difficult for non-EU workers as the government's attempt to reduce net immigration is failing, according to the latest figures.

INCOGNITO Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Any riders needing a visa to ride here will not be allowed double up and must decide which league to ride in. This comes about in January so signing any rider with a visa would be doing so as a gamble really. Chris Holder has done his deal to return to Poole for next season and it is likely another 8 point rider could join them in the new year even if it's not Darcy. Amazing how reading through the posts hardly any mention of Gracjzoneck and Milik despite both being key figures last season. Will they be two more added to the list of riders used once and then discarded with a high average ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 What average would Arthur Sissis come in on? A 4.00? Could be the bargain of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
