Steve Shovlar Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 But the riders brought in have current averages, nothing to do with what they have at the start of the season! You are trying to score a point which is false. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Poole have done nothing wrong in assembling their team. Riders have started the season and been discarded because of poor form. Riders have been discarded when they were riding to and above their averages and riders who have been poor all season have finally found some form - only after Poole managed to strengthen their team - all within the rules. Poole now have the team they thought they had at the start of the season and anything less than winning the playoffs will be more disappointing than Swindon whooping them at home this season. They will totally deserve what’s coming to them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Man City I have no problem with that, you get rich and poor clubs in every sport but they really should be winning in every year. Massive shock (or choke) if they don't win it this year with the seven currently declared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Harris with no air fares to pay is more expensive than Sundstrom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 total loss systems straight onto the track were banned, that's why we had to get oil catchers. track curators all knew the oil helped bind the surface but health and safety and environment rules stopped oil from being used.

We got Worrall for Kildemand, Harris for Sundstrom, the only one that may have been more expensive is Jacobsen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Bagpuss but FB has a point you are making out Poole are like Man City who are one of the richest clubs in the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Poole have been a VERY well supported club both on a sponsorship and fan level even if things aren't so good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have a lot of good loyal sponsors. And although our crowds have been a bit down in comparison we still have a very big fan base, even without the holiday trade. Thing is like all clubs, cost is not doing speedway any favours, and not like years ago people have to pick and choose there meetings. But proof is in the pudding, you bring in a decent rider like Chris who will give his all and is a racer crowds will come. But Poland is killing things over here, and riders have to be realistic.

As i said on here, but as expected i got a barage of abuse, our bad crowds are better than the majorities good crowds, so something clearlyy amiss elsewhere dont you think ? Then you are bound to disagree with me. Its the nature of the poole beast.. Last week the racing was pretty good the atmosphere was superb the cameradery in the pits was very good, when things are right we have the best club in the country by a million miles. Even we cant be brilliant, all the time.. Edited August 4, 2018 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, something is clearly amiss in British Speedway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
