Mark Loram lived near Ipswich but still rode for Exeter (his grandparents came form that way). Lawrence Hare used to commute from Ipswich to Edinburgh. Shanes rides on the continent weekends grasstracking and had no interest in speedway until last season and now all of a sudden because he is local he will only ride for Poole lol You do write some weird and wonderful stuff at times Why would you travel to ride for another club when you can ride for your local club. Speedway riders have to travel to wherever their club is but if you don't need to why would you do it. But the main point would be is that he would rather ride for the club he has supported and has in his heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanes has been riding NL since 2013 so covering plenty of UK miles along with his Grasstrack & Longtrack commitments. Poole obviously would be a benefit to him as it would make local sponsorship easier to come by but with new bikes being built & 10 engines on his work bench id say its likely he knows he has a Premiership berth somewhere.

Why should Fricke be the best rider? Kurtz outperformed him last season by over half a point and is the better long term prospect. Kurtz is a number one rider and Fricke is a second or third heat leader. As said Kurtz should be winning this aussie title at a canter without Doyle and Morris there. But i agree Fricke has underperformed out there so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people have said Fricke is the best young Australian rider and will be in the GP's, personally he has never convinced me he is the required standard.

poolebolton Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I think the Kurtz Fricke arguement was sorted when Kurtz signed for Leszno to start while Fricke was signed by Sparta to be number 8. And yes yes I understand with new rules Fricke can take lots of rides but still shows that Kurtz is above Fricke now. And i do support Sparta in Poland so want. Fricke to go well there.

With Leicester already looking stronger than Swindon and Poole likely to match, Swindon might scrape into the playoffs with their current team. But that's about it. I reckon he's been eating too much ice cream & has got brain freeze. My monies' on Swindon to finish 1st or 2nd in the league. Injury permitting of course as that can be a big leveller in any season.

DunRobin Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 5 hours ago, theblueboy said: I agree that KK’s performances contributed to the Pirates problems last season, however, you did have the strongest reserve by an absolute mile and should have done much better than you did. You were the bookies favourites had a strong start, yet limped in to the play offs because other teams changes were made a fraction too late. Woryna is a good signing and I fully expect him to put at least two points on his current average and a revitalised Holder could see you challenge once again but it’s all ifs, buts and maybe’s. I’d be happy for Swindon to make the play offs. For me, it’s how we carry Davey and when can he be replaced. The top 5 are solid and as you rightly point out, no big improvers, although more to come from Ellis and Alpen. I would say Poole, on paper, have the bigger improvers and more potential but Swindon look more solid. Luckily, speedway is not ridden on paper, although it’s a much smoother surface than Wimbourne Road. Remember Swindon carried a reserve for all of last season & they won the title. Wolves were not particularly strong at reserve & they contested the final. It's not all about the reserves any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me how and where i have trolled please. I said Brady Kurtz should be dominating and he is. Ive said he is blowing the big races and he is. Ive said its easier for him as the 2 best Aussies, Doyle and Morris arent there. None of that is trolling.

Bagpuss Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Fricke is quality, it's pretty plain to see. I wouldn't use Aussie championships as much of a barometer, averages from the Polish, Swedish and British top divisions are a better indication. World U21 results where applicable are also a good gauge. If you can beat the cream of the Polish youngsters on their missile bikes then you have got something about you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as people are undecided over Holder Same as nobody knows how the Poles will go.

Anybody (well... clearly not quite) can see that Kurtz has heaps of talent under his belt, he's just developing his groove. Darcy Ward was another rider who was very up and down, and he went on to be the best rider to grace a speedway bike in decades. Stop slagging the lad off and just wait and see. So boring to see you determined to bring everybody down a peg. Does your wife wear the trousers or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love how some Poole fans love their side while slagging off all the others. That happened last season and was quite funny when it all blew up. Pooles 1-7 looks good enough again for top 4...............but not title winners yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
