SomersetBlue Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I know we have a KOC to win yet but just putting the thread up anyway. Presuming that atm we are in the top tier and the team average is the same who would everyone like to see kept. Obviously I know things can change. I think the first names on the team sheet have to be Jack Holder and Bradders. Jack has been the signing of the season and Bradley can get vital points. Maybe riders would be Doyle, although travel and his high average are question marks. Allen who for me it's his time to move on and progress as a rider. Finally Covatti who is a cracking reserve to have although his top end form was little to be admired. Riders I would personally let go would be Summers who just isn't strong enough for his average and sadly Lawson who for me is too inconsistent for a third heat leader.

It makes no difference anyway, riders will usually end up riding where they want to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffeboy Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I thought Poole didn’t want Jack because of some disciplinary issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't, but he seems to of got his act together, and has improved a lot with more to come. Every team ( I was going to say Poole) likes riders on the up, and maybe Ford wont be the gaffer in 2019. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Like Belle Vue will have riders wanting to ride for them in 2019 because they are both superb race tracks, both well run & riders get paid! Gary May has shown he has an eye for spotting potential............. will crowd favorite Charles Wright feature in Gary's plans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you didn't but the point is if Poole want to use him in 2019 as their asset then he won't be able to sign a contract elsewhere!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullrubbish and you know it! just like 2005(?) when Poole refused to let Newport sign Craig Watson unless Newport bought his contract, remind me what happened there? if Jack Holder wants to ride at Somerset in 2019 there is absolutely nothing Poole can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Didn't Ford tell Somerset that he wouldn't loan them Noddy for this season, but they can buy him for £20k? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford can tell any club anything but unless the rider has signed a contract of exclusivity with Poole the rider will decide where he will ride, he is self employed.

Grachan Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I don't think many - if any - riders have the luxury of deciding where they want to ride these days. Most are probably just glad to get a team place wherever they can be fitted in, what with points limits, average restrictions etc. Even the World Champion was surplus to requirements this year, and while he was seemingly happy to move to Somerset, if they hadn't decided to come in for him then he would not have been there.

RebelDan Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Doyle,Holder, BWD, Allen, Covatti plus 2 others who fit depending on the league structure/points limit. I think we need another heat leader to replace Lawson, he’s been a good servant to the club but I think both parties would benefit from a change.
