Another defeat to BV on Monday and I think changes will have to happen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they would be shouting it from the rooftops to maximise the crowd? We’ve heard nothing! If true - what a great signing - what’s his average and surely it too high to replace Jacob?

DC2 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Well, at least he’s a Wolves rider through and through, not one of those Poole mercenaries. Bit of a cynical signing though considering he’s turned his back on the UK league and wouldn’t sign at the start of the year. Can’t he get enough rides in Sweden?

I think he still has the chance to sign for another Swedish team. Would be great to have him riding in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the sport is struggling (dying) in the UK Why if that is his last attained average? (Im not sure if it is correct) Much older standing averages have been accepted without change this year Whilst agreeing that a figure as low as that seems crazy for the current GP leader it would not be right to single hom out for reassessment when so many other have not been 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I don’t believe the rumour for one minute. Would be great if true. and yes his average is every bit as legit as any returning rider who has also kept their previous average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the sport is struggling (dying) in the UK As ridiculous as all the other riders who have kept an old established returning average. wolves had to suffer all of 2014 with an underperforming Tai. Only be right if he was to return to Wolves and no other club. Not that I’d imagine he would be interested in riding anywhere despite the rumours others might have tried to spread.

It will also be incredibly funny as Adams will look like a complete berk after he made up the gp rider 9.0 average to explain wolves not using woofinden and pawlicki, instead of admitting that they had to massively cut costs due to the continued crap supporters not turning up even after buying the league cup. I wonder if he'll replace "decent job" thorsell, lol! I can't wait, ha ha! Rumour is your club carnt even pay it's riders haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 On 20 July 2018 at 9:49 PM, Pirates Of Poole said: 7.03 Tai’s average. ALL current or recent GP riders are at 8.00 minimum as in Martin Vaculik when he came to Leicester. Chris Holder was the only one to be under eight as he rode here in 2017 but next year should start on 8.00 as he isn't riding here this year. As for Woffy starting Monday, it would have made the biggest impact if announced at Cardiff by the man himself. Wolves face Belle Vue on Monday and their is a rivalry between the two sides and Tai has previous in winding up the Aces fans. They often bring a few down from Manchester and had he been bought in for this one it would have been great publicity for British Speedway. The he crowd level would have been the biggest of the season as all clubs are down on attendance and at a guess this would have added another 500 on the figure which would have covered the increase in wages. In my opinion even though it would have been tough on Thorssell being dropped, it would have been a no brained and good for all concerned (Jacob apart) However as nothing has been released at the big event I can't see them now coming out with it and think Tai will more than likely be getting his farm and chickens in order over the coming days rather than sorting out the team and Wolfpack on Monday. maybe when new averages come out soon it may change, but this was a golden opportunity to do the deal and announce it at the showcase event.

Only answered your post with a bit of a quip. as for always paid rent, don't think so and the opening promotion left under the cloud of owing rent big time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 As has been said many times since Poole signed their Polish ringers any rider who has missed a whole season here should have their averages assessed on an annual basis to bring it in line with what they achieve in other leagues. That said if Wolves or anyone else want to sign Woffinden on a seven point whatever they should be able to just as others have done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
