Mattfordfan Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Why Przedpelski? Lambert will surely be at Kings Lynn and Perks isn't an improvement on Shanes, also I doubt Newman will be in the team either. Kenny Bjerre was a favourite of his too I believe! If C. Holder signs then they both ride for Torun so they could travel from Poland together. Lambert I'm not so sure about a KL return. He needs a season away from KL and he has always been linked with us so maybe something could happen. Matt is having doubts about Shanes saying on the radio he could get exposed and I have to agree. Next year teams are going to be built with strength in depth and there aren't going to be easy rides against No.7's next season. Shanes has Grass and long track commitments so I doubt he would get a 2nd division spot with race night's being Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sunday and if he's short of confidence at any stage then it wouldn't do us favours. So I have picked Perks due to a good season in the Championship in 2017 and as a No.7 he would do a decent job. My reasoning behind Newman is if Lambert doesn't join Poole then we are going to need a 2nd Brit and its now a cert Ellis is signing for Swindon so we might as well go with our own asset and he will drop to reserve after the first set of GSA's come out with Woryna moving up.

Nothing should surprise us speedway supporters after the announcements made by Leicester. Doubt virtually anyone outside of the top table at Leicester could really see either MV or KP signing for them at this early stage. I am sure that any promoter in the know about rider plans (also not knowing a lot of overseas riders GSA or assessed av for 2018) will let anything slip this early. You hear such conflicting info. Matt said in one article he wanted James back for 2018 - another one where he said cant guarantee him a place as will depend on points make up of the team - another one where he says young riders lower down the team might lose out to more experienced riders returning to these shores (was that in general or a specific mention to the Poole team ??) - The latest comment was about a radio interview he has done where he allegedly said that he has concerns Shanes may be too exposed ??. Not helped I suppose with Shanes commitments to both Grass and Longtrack which will almost certainly rule him out of the Champ this season due to clash of fixtures and he wont give either of those 2 up where he is more of a up and coming young star. I personally think he will struggle if he doesn't broaden his Speedway experience and also sort his gating out, which imo he cant just riding Prem. To be honest I don't know what to believe with all these snippets coming out which neither confirm or deny who may or may not be in the team.

I don't see the point tbh. League is going to be tougher next year no protected races against poor No.7's. Most Championship fixtures being run on a weekend so I doubt teams would sign him knowing that they would have to get guests in. If his confidence goes then we are stuffed because you cant get a replacement in when his average is 2.95. Matt Ford wouldn't mention all of this and then sign him imo. Matt is having doubts and he is right. Edited November 24, 2017 by Poole Pirates Fanatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Robert Lambert always gets linked to Poole in the winter, has done for the last 3/4 years. So I won't hold my breath on it actually happening this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Matt knows exactly how best to use the local media to keep Poole in the sports pages through the Winter months. Incidentally - a bit like Swindon's announcement about signing Adam and Zack as assets - Woryna hasn't yet been officially announced as in the 2018 line-up, despite him being listed on the BSPA site!!! As for James Shanes I reckon he will double up/down with one of the Championship Thursday tracks - 2 of which offered him a deal mid-season this year but by then he had too many fixture clashes. I will be amazed if he's not Poole's Number 7 in 2018. Edited November 24, 2017 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I hope your right. He was a shining light last season with his never say die attitude. It was very clear for all to see that he was scoring points through pure guts and determination rather than his skill level, which improved as the season wore on. If he had had the benefit of championship team to double or treble his meetings I feel sure his improvement would have been even more dramatic. Not sure if he is still going to prioritize his grass/long track meetings in 2018 but if he wants to be a good speedway rider he needs to put those ambitions on the back burner for a period and concentrate on the shale. He could develop into a very good rider. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 perks is not a better rider than james so he wint be there Of course Perks is a better rider, you only have to look at their respective averages.

poolebolton Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I think Matt is going to pull out some good moves. He wont just be saying rubbish in the paper if he is trying to get the fans in. Would be a very crazy move and would back fire. The shop looks good and that always helps. I think we are the only club in the world to have such a store even in Poland. Ned from the Echo even said what a stupid move by Witches for example to release all in one go. They basically have 4 months with nothing to give to the Fans. So Matt has his plan and we will have to wait and see what happens.. I have faith he will put out a good team and yes I would like to find out now but we cant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich are doing it completely wrong. Going to leave the fans bored in the off season for the next 4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 It's the off season..we are all doing other stuff..no one cares...but if they like the team they will buy season tickets before Christmas or for Christmas. Chris always does it in one go and it's never been a problem before....but I suppose it must be wrong if someone poole supporter thinks so 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris always does it in one go and it's never been a problem before....but I suppose it must be wrong if someone poole supporter thinks so Its a different way of doing it. Just it doesnt create much buzz around the team. Its not wrong, just a different approach. We will have to wait and see, I am looking forward to the witches team even though I support Poole.

Col Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I guess Leon Madsen would come in on a 7. Has never been a gp rider and doesnt get in World Cup teams. He has been in Denmark's last two SWC teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
