Cliffeboy Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Although I dont think it will happen re Chris at Somerset, he would be Close to home Good airport links Aussie connection Track he knows well and won the Pairs on. Downside it would seriously reduce our all round strength which I believe we are going to need especially at home.

John Scrutton Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 When Chris first came to ride in this country and rode for the ISLE OF WIGHT He was to be found doing laps of Kings Lynn every week after the meetings and must have done More than lots of the 2016 squad. He knows the place well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttons Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Chris will be at Lynn or Somerset. More chance of Lynn because Somerset is a Friday track (GP Practice) Somerset could always change their race night ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Somerset could always change their race night !Would help massively as far as getting there is concerned. The M5 is murder on Fridays. Away supporters better leave yourselves plenty of time. We tend to make a day of it. Visit the nearby cider farms and a couple of hours by the beach at Weston or Burnham. Cheddar Gorge isn't far away either, about 10-12 miles Edited November 20, 2016 by Shads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelDan Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I wouldn't have Holder personally at Somerset on an average which is unttainable - you have to seriously compromise your team. The only benefactors would be Poole the following season when he's on a realistic average. Plus as mentioned before he'd miss around 10 Fridays with the GP's so I can't see it happening.

ray c Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Why should i think beyond Poole. Would Man Utd think about Liverpool or Chelsea think about West ham ?. If other promotions cannot think for themselves then why should we worry. We have the biggest fan base in the country, but you can only spend what comes in which would be more than most clubs, even so, its a business and you do not comit financial suicde, and anybody that does needs looking at. We live in the best area in the country, plenty to see and do. better than looking at brick walls. i never mention any clubs i said speedway if there was no other clubs there would no poole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok! So what have Poole done any different to other clubs? Building to a 60 team limit compared to 50 for the rest? Wake up and smell the coffee, as soon as ALL clubs realise we need massive change the sooner we will move forward! Let's face it all top league promoters get in a room together for the AGM! Matt isn't the only one in the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just moaners mate. Edited November 20, 2016 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
