poole keith Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 i might be over optimistic blackheart but surely someone will take it on,albeit at a greatly reduced price,i have no knowledge of the actual figures involved but eventually surely matt would be better selling for say 40k than asking 200k and not selling,new owners would not have to buy the assets if they didnt want to.some prospective buyers might be deterred thinking matt is an almost impossible act to follow,but id much rather follow a mid table or worse team than have no team to follow,holidaymakers will turn up whatever the quality of the team!

If a successful club in one of the Countries most affluent areas cannot secure a buyer then it will be a sad day for the sport. Hopefully someone will come forward. Would have been good to also have heard news on the proposed new Co Promotors but seems to have also gone quiet on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a lot of pressure on Kurtz and Holder, a pressure Kurtz couldnt handle last season and a pressure Morris couldnt at Swindon. Maybe Jack can but it remains to be seen. Josh G isnt getting any better at this stage of his career but seems to be one of the riders included. 59 minutes ago, stevebrum said: I found Woryna disappointing personally. Came on the back of a very successful season in Poland so was always going to make a mockery of that false low starting average. Woryna was massively overhyped by the odd Poole fan before he came. Poles are notoriously different riders over here then in their homeland and i said before a wheel was turned he would be a different rider to the one who was doing well in Poland. The money is in Poland not here and Worynas best equipment was hardly likely to be over here. I would say the same if Drabik or Smektala joined a UK club, its a massive massive risk irrelevant of their form elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Drabik or Smektala would be a risk maybe Woryna just isn't good anough. I still think he could improve over here still but Lambert,Smektala,Drabik are a level above Woryna.

KrisB Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I feel the critics are slamming this team (though not fully announced) with an eye on a time gone past. None of the teams for 2019 are looking particularly 'exciting' or 'strong' but that is what our sport has become. The reserves are not 'new' to the league and we've risked untried riders before with only limited success. Jack and Brady will only improve year-on-year - I agree there will be a lot of pressure on them but they've similar averages so are likely to interchange top spot throughout the season. I would be happy with Nicolai, Josh and Richie to complete the team as sadly Kacper and Frederik have out-priced themselves. Make the most of whatever team we end up with, and I am NOT buying into any debate about 2019 being the last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the most of whatever team we end up with, and I am NOT buying into any debate about 2019 being the last season. Nobody is 'slamming' the team, purely stating the risks involved. I would say Peterborough fans think their team is exciting and also looking very strong, along with the Wolves team. You say Jack and Brady will only improve year on year well last season Brady went backwards and there is no margin this time for that to happen Klindt was good last season but debatable if he can do it again and Josh and Worrall have reached their peaks i would say. Maybe Woryna and Freddie did price themselves out of the team but both are younger then the rest and can only get better.... Pooles team may work but it isnt what i would class as one to get the juices flowing Still it could be worse you could support Ipswich and just be waiting for the scraps nobody else wants! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
