Agrotron Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Davey Watt and Dakota North as heat leaders next season with Newman and Gomolski backing them up ? Seems to be the way things are going for next season as the Elite League crumbles into oblivion That sounds bs!!

LisaColette Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I can't find it online but according to a poster on the Poole forum it says in the Bournemouth Echo that Dudek is not making 'a full season EL appearance' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Yes thats what the Echo says this morning - despite intensive and good-natured discussions Matt Ford confirms Patryk will not ride a full season for Poole, nor any other EL team, in 2016 as he has already confirmed his Swedish and Polish contracts and doesn't want the extra travel to interfere with his quest for International honours. Reading between the lines,as this year, he might be interested in a late season deal if one became available at the right time and price!!

INCOGNITO Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 By all means plan on Holder Watt North Dudek etc but Poole could be the only team wanting or able to field a team in the Elite League as it is now. Whatever the limits are next year it will still see Ford and Midlo putting together a title chasing team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrotron Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 But every other team has a chance to put together a winning team, question is do others do as much homework as Ford on scouting new riders. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Yes, they do but when riders are found they often have attached to them a very strange average that never applies if they are Poole bound. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Presumably it's a majority vote that gets passed so it would be interesting to know exactly which teams (if any) voted against it. We'll never find out of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Other promoters vote on it though, why would they vote that way?! Why people year in year out vote for rules that suit Poole is one of the greatest mysteries since Starman. Sidney and Gavan went missing at the same time . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's amazing. It's like the other promoters all want Poole to win the league. If one club didn't need help it Poole!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Simple answer. Ford is very intelligent. Many of the other promoters are not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
