Wasnt leading us into multi exchanges for 2019. Was more reacting to comments about building a team around core riders who should be the main basis of your team going forward. For me the first 4 would be your ideal base and then build around it. Of course future league structure would play its part as would if say Woryna was to break into SGP would he want to come back to UK. Plenty of factors to consider. Of course this season is an important factor. But hopefully Matt can look at these 4 as his main stay of the team going fwd. Yep 2 meetings to go as acording to SGB website (in clause 16 of therukesI think it states) the 23rd is the last day of the month for qualifying av to be applied the first of the flwg month. Good news that as chances are maybe Klindt and Woryna in reserve berths for July ?? Thats my lot now off to see how out assets perform at Lakeside tonight ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely not as ruthless as he used to be! Maybe there aren't many committed riders to choose from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ruthless attitude might have something to do with it as well. 4 or 5 years ago you could get some GP riders willing to ride over here over for a £2-3K guarantee. There might be the odd one still, if based here. I heard that it could take 6-7k for some to come over these days because they get paid silly money in Poland. Not saying they don't deserve it though. But the UK just don't have the crowds to pay that kind of money . Edited June 1, 2018 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not true that riders won’t ride for Poole. They will. For lots of thousands a week. Never going to happen and the reason why not only Poole but any other British club would struggle to bring in a top rider if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that they are not cheap, but what Ford said there can't be right.. Lets say 1000 paying abults @ is it £17 ?. So we have £17,000. Add kids etc and £20,000 That's the "gate money". Matt said 3x the gate money per meeting..I make it £60k !!….That's probably at least 3 x what they get in Poland. Or am I missing something ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattfordfan Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 It's not a case of Matt Ford and funds. No top riders apart from the regulars will ever be seen riding for a British club again. British clubs cannot afford to pay a rider treble the gate money in our case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already looking towards next year...The team is just too weak to do anything. We still need 3 changes tbh. Matt has tried his hardest to get a big name over but they're not interested in Britain.....Holder is now a no go so we might as well forget about the entire season.

You know "Treble the gate" money is crap. Pooles gate money is at least £20k.You telling me the big guns want £60k a meeting ?? in the UK.Im pretty sure if £10k a meeting was offered, you would see some GP riders return. You need to forget 3x £20K lol... If Ford could afford £10K, you would see a top gp rider, riding for Poole. He wants to win so bad.
