poolebolton Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 For sure if there is one rider in the World I would like to see at Poole it is Maksym Drabik. I think he is the hottest rider on the planet for such an age. Not 21 until Feb 2018. The guy is incredible. For me the best young rider to come along since a young Darcy Ward. I only think Frick won the World U21 last year because Drabik broke his leg in several places in Sweden which wiped out most of 2016. For sure he would probably have won last years too had he not.To have come back from that serious injury this year and also recently a broken collarbone injury makes the feat of winning the WU21 last night even more amazing. To score 21 and 18 points in 2 meetings against the top U21 riders is incredible. To also have scored in the second of the 3 meetings 8 from 4 rides incl even after he fell in one of them and broke his shoulder is testament to his talent. It w as further evidence (if we needed it) how the young Poles are on a different planet compared to us and the Aussies. You only have to look at last nights scores where Kurtz/Holder and Lambert (who scored a massive 3 points...) highlight it. The likes of Drabik/Smektala/Woryna/Kubera. Incredible talent and just shows how far the Poles have progressed. If we got Drabik I wouldn't care who we got at number 1 for 2018. (Within reason) I'd take Drabik, Kurtz, Woryna, Magic, NK, Shanes and Ellis. Is Holder bothered to ride for Poole. I'm not so sure he is. Want someone who rides for the Badge and all those riders would. Key is Magic, speaks English well so he will be able to keep those guys in the loop. They can make a massive difference to team spirit. If you look at Wroclaw Magic is key to keeping Tai in the loop and it took them quite far.

God knows what it would cost to get Magic and Drabik to ride for Poole but hopefully Matt can conjure up some sponsors with deep pockets. Anyway I hope Matt comes with some news of a signing for when I get back from sunning my backside in Tenerife for the next 2 weeks ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealFiend Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Come on Matt. Go all out and sign Magic. Sweden is going bust and Magic isn't happy in Sweden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Come on Matt. Go all out and sign Magic. Sweden is going bust and Magic isn't happy in Sweden. I could see Magic wanting to come back. He wants to win a World Champ and needs more racing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 You talking to yourself again lol,on a serious id start with these riders if possible, Drabik Magic Kurtz Vaculik or Andersen That would be a very good start not overly fussed with having the holder brothers tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even throw Milik into the mix on his low GSA. So many poss combinations but again it will come back to Teams points limit plus who wants to come to UK. If as reported by a number of sources/contributors Sweden is in the brown smelly stuff, (well some of them as it wont be all) then maybe some of these guys will consider UK as a second option to Poland. Will require some deep pocket spending though. Lets hope the signings match our hopes and expectations in this game of name next years team ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray c Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yeh but unless the powers that be give clubs bigger scope in team building averages speedway will die.where will the money come from to pay for all this ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) where will the money come from to pay for all this ? Sponsorship. We still have some very good sponsors at Poole, other clubs need to get there backsides in gear. Otherwise speedway as we know it even nowadays will be finished. you are obviously easily pleased.. This season to me was on a par with 0-9. Edited September 30, 2017 by Starman2006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Limit should be 46.. You did well to count up to 46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Realistically limit will prob be 42.50 would make sense bigger league fixed nights and better teams fingers crossed,cant see a 45 limit tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 They should make it 45. Yep it does, second doesn't sit with me.. Everyone wants to win but yet certain Poole fans believe that winning the league over credibility and the sport not dying is more important. Oh and for the record stop posting on the Ipswich threads chasing me around.......i know you cant cope if im not about but its a bit like Fatal Attraction, need to check the rabbit!

Starman2006 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Why ? To give clubs a lot more scope to sign riders, 45 would be a good figure.. But even you should know that. Otherwise Speedway in this country will go down the pan But then i expect you would be happy. i am easily pleased 4 guys racing speedway bikes been watching it all my life win or lose don't matter to me you only want to win No, the club wants to win, you must be the odd one out Edited October 1, 2017 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
