And surely better than Kyle Newman who hasn't ridden the track recently and is not going particularly well at the moment. With no decent guests available (Ford must have gone through is book looking for horses for courses) we are where we are. Four riders out in unprecedented for any club, let alone the Champions. Just need to bring in two new riders sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 If Poole think they are serious contenders for the title they should see off Kings Lynn as easily as Poole did last week. Really there is no excuse for Poole to not come away with the points tonight. Riders like Jack Holder should relish conditions similar to Polish tracks. And while Kerr and Jorgensen are so poor at the moment, experienced riders like Klindt and Josh should clean up. However, recent form shows that Holder is on the downward slope after a good start to the season. Has the bubble burst there or a minor hiccup? Kings Lynn need to up their game considerably from 7 days ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are stuck with waiting for riders to return and using guests apart from Richie who does need replacing, I don't think the riders are available or we can't afford them. I would advocate Wells as a temporary replacement for NBJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray c Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 31 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: Anyone with an ounce of brain will realise Poole have been hit like no other team this season. While other teams have lost one or two, Pirates have lost over half their team. No one can cover that. To argue otherwise shows the poster as a pea brained imbecile. We need to sign a 28 day replacement for Brady and a full time replacement for Richie. Covatti will be back in a few weeks and NBJ needs an appendix removal by the sound of it so will be out for a few weeks. No point dilly dallying, get a deal done. shame you don't respect other peoples opinions attack the post not the poster 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickH114 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 With only Peterborough not riding tonight in the Premiership i would of thought Proctor would of been a good choice of guest, Tungate only scored one point when he last rode there for Belle Vue.

Agree Skidder. The club has to run within its means. And if a rider is contacted to replace an injured rider they might ask for more than they are actually worth. Add to that getting everything in place mid season, it makes finding a rider very difficult indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Can’t help but think this is going to be an awful advert for speedway on BT tonight, Summers was woeful as a guest at reserve for us at Kings Lynn couple of weeks ago and Newman is seemingly nowhere near a top flight rider these days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not really bothered you don’t agree and it looks like you have offered up another year where Poole choked! Poole didn't choke in 2012. Swindon were just better. I know that doesn't fit in with your " I hate Poole" mantra. But I guess you can't have everything. You can't say every time Poole lose in a final, they choked otherwise it looks like you don't even know what it means!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 2 hours ago, Bagpuss said: This should be a comfortable home win but we aren’t very good this season (although decent at home) and as we know gating is vital at Lynn nowadays so if Poole’s guests can make a few starts they could go home with something. Their engine room are both riding as well as anyone in the UK right now and Holder likes Lynn so they could make it uncomfortable for the Stars with some sharp starts. We have vulnerabilities in our line up but whatever happens three points are a must. Would take 46-44 and some good racing. And in reality I would be happen to get to 40 points!

BT know that Poole are decimated so a switch would be sensible. There is no financial reward for Kings Lynn showing this so why they haven’t moved it I have no idea. Perhaps BV can’t afford to be on TV two weeks running? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one else has had 4 out at the same time!! Come on Gavan get with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
