Why would Poole release 2 riders signed as club assets who already have local sponsorship and local workshop facilities, bearing in mind they have already released MacDonald?

I do agree but you just never know stranger things have happened !

Good day until the hail storm arrived at the EWR today some very good lads on show most of them national league riders & was great to see bomber Harris blasting around it getting nice & close to the air fence 

Saw he was out with Palin how were they comparing ?

I heard that too, but on mega terms that the management will not match.

Crikey thats a late curved ball ? Maybe he thinks he was a bit hasty to rule himself out now things are looking set for a summer of UK speedway ?. Ippo is an issue for him as they are declared 1-7 so that ships sailed. Might well up his terms to race initially in the Champ with Scorpions ? Then hes here and a Prem opportunity is sure to crop up for him. But he will want more to commit to riding soley for Scunny in the first instance. Clear dilemma for Rob & the team if so but if we want to solve our problem position - No1 Jakes the man and he would be a game changer no doubt about that.

Yeah I really hope Rob has realised that replacing Jake to the exact average is near impossible given how late In the day it is and is keen to get the deal done even if it costs a little more

I’m sure there could be a problem with Klindt at Ipswich rumoured to be staying in Europe for this season so will that cause problems with getting to Britain ??? . He would get cheap enough flights back to Stanstead  but it’s the covid testing which might be the snag

Yeah exactly so unlikely that Rob or any other promoter would want to have to put something towards his equipment  

But you want him to pay above the odds to get a rider who said he wasn’t interested in coming over ?

That would be a fine example for the Chairmen to set when he’s telling everybody else to cut costs.

Well it’s a tricky situation we are in with next to no riders that fit the average it’s okay for everyone else with full 7s ready to go but the reality of the situation is the season is now only 5 weeks away and it’s a very realistic prospect it will start then and we haven’t got a no1!
