Thought he rode more meetings for the Pirates. Well pointed out. I agree with you though. I don’t think he was offered to all clubs. I am sure Ford said to chapman that NKI will cost you less on loan if we get Matt S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Poole are clearly better than us this year But I like look of our team and still see us as easily top 4 material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Couldn't care less about Poole, our team will go well around the NSS and will spring a few surprises away from home for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGorton1884 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Never had anything against Poole Pirates from Pete Smith to Super Simmo , but this new breed of Pirates fan makes you realise why people don’t like them , on a BV thread , I’ve already learned how poor the Aces are and how superior the Pirates line up is , so much so that to actually state the Aces top 4 ( on paper ) looks as strong as any other team is deemed sacrilege ! Admittedly The Pirates do look favourites , but the Aces look strong also , and this is a Belle Vue page !

Admittedly The Pirates do look favourites , but the Aces look strong also , and this is a Belle Vue page ! I agree. I'd go as far as saying equally as strong. No doubt Poole fans would disagree. Bewley at reserve is going to kick on big time this year and I reckon will top averaged starting reserve by end of season. Yes, you heard it here first. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come October I would say Kurtz will higher average so I would probably go with him. Fricke vs Holder - Holder all day long , he wont be world champ again but if he has his head remotely screwed on there is plenty of room to add to his figure. Fricke didnt kick on as hoped last season. Tungate vs Sundstrom - Sundstrom all day long. Worrall vs Josh G - hard one but Josh G averaged more last season and that was from riding at 1 in a struggling side. Then you throw in the two Poles and this Poole side looks brilliant. If they avoid injuries I cannot see anyone touching them, and that is just with the Poles adding to their figures. The top three could all add a point if not more to their aves. All those Poole riders have question marks over them for me i just think i would trust those Belle Vue riders more certainly at home.Also Belle Vue by the end of the season have the best reserve in the league and i actually think Bewley could later on stay in the top five all season. If Woryna averages well over seven which i believe he will then that will push Poole on easily into the top four but Sundstrom i am not convinced with he is certainly no better than Andersen but Poole really have an exciting team but something in the back of my mind niggles away at me i am not totally convinced like some.

Pinny Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I am no Poole fan, I am just saying it how it is. It just looks head and shoulders above anything else named this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 most people on here put Poole as the team to beat on paper,but all that depends on their 2 poles riding in the UK as they do in Poland, Time will tell. Sundstrom was very poor last time he rode in the UK, and as someone has already posted, he didn't have such a good season in Poland last year. Holder is not the Holder that Poole fans remember, if the track is not to his liking, then expect A very mediocre Holder. J Shanes should kick on from last season and B Kurtz should also improve. So yes they look good on paper, but to many if's and but's for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsbane Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Looking good if the Pole can get dialled in come the play offs and Cook doesn't go walk about whilst strutting the World Stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet he starts on a higher average than both Poole's Poles.Makes you realise that there is something not quite right about our beloved sport does it not. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
