Trackrat Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Poole team looks very weak to me . . .But it's all about fudging averages i suppose #always on the cheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I wouldn’t say it looks weak but it’s a risky looking team like it was at the start of last season Can Holder handle the pressure Can Kurtz move his career forward or will it stagnate Can Klindt carry on that form or will he revert to type. If all the answers to the above are yes then Poole will do ok and if not guess they will make the usual 10 changes I said at the start of last season the original line up was risky and I was 100% correct Look at Swindon’s top 4 for example , no risks at all and a likely improver in Ellis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woryna no,Josh yes,Worrall yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at Covatti at reserve Swindon's reserves don't look to bad, don't see the fascination with him always inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there are too many who will be better on a sub five point average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Gavan is prob more positive about it!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a rider in the 5 point bracket so he could easily go in and out of the top 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole fans I’m sure will get a taste of his inconsistency. Much may depend on the fellow reserve One thing you will get with Covatti is a racer so if he misses the gate as usual you tend to get some excitement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not bang in good scores every week but if the play offs are anything to go by he goes very well at Poole and at reserve could be a match winner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVEHOLS54 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Does anyone know if Matt Ford held or is holding his Xmas party for the sponsors this year ?? Am asking as with the loss of the main team sponsor plus in his words 1/2 other smaller sponsors not renewing, if there are sufficient sponsors left to warrant having one and the cost no doubt associated. Believe Matt in past years also used the opportunity to name riders for the following season which also generated interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
