Stop being a tad pathetic Klindts career has soared since he joined Poole..its what happens sometimes I think Kurtz will benefit from a move away from Poole Some riders will benefit from a move to Poole Hope that helps jesus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur54 Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 I can remember a certain Tony Rickardsson and Mark Loram having some of there best times while in Poole colours, and going further back Malcolm Simmons had his best days as a pirate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they absolutely do - asked and answered QED I was actually talking to the other Steve as he was the one who made the original statement. Quite funny, he says it but can't think of any examples! Young riders improve wherever they are. If you can think of any mid-career ones, that would help. For example, Chris Holder could have been one as he was getting some form before all the Buster drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickardsson had already won 3 world titles before joining Poole but did win 2 more in Poole colours......his dominance for me was 1998-2005 and i dont think it mattered where he rode Some riders will just fit in at certain clubs.........my opinion is that Brady could blossom by moving away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Agree with what’s been said. some riders do better away from certain clubs. Chris Holder should have never left Poole for example. (I know this was really a ford decision) Lindback was never that good at the other clubs he rode in the U.K.. Yet he was with Poole. KK was just odd. But that’s KK. Kurtz had so much pressure on him. Probably the most in demand signature in british speedway in last 5 years. Every club wanted him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that awful evening I can only remember him having one decent meeting for Lynn and that was at Poole, he was pretty dreadful up until his sacking.

If you are going to keep changing the goalposts then it’s pointless getting into a debate about it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said riders improve when they leave Poole, but you are only going along with 3 that someone else has said. Pretty poor statement from you that you can't think of any others. Considering the amount of riders Poole have gone through in the past 20 years, 3 riders is prob even barely 2%!! So most riders who leave Poole don't improve then..?

What a pointless debate Some riders improve for moving away from certain clubs as they become stale at that club and are stuck in a rut so to speak Kurtz is a rider that could benefit from a change of club in my opinion Klindt could actually go the other way as he was obviously happy with everything at Poole (hope not as he seems to be coming to us at Ipswich) Its not aimed at Poole but some Poole fans cant quite grasp that........riders will have improved for moving away from Poole ....and some riders will improve for a move to Poole...

So most riders who leave Poole don't improve then..? They were 3 riders that I thought of too however what is clear you would have used the same argument with me also. As I’ve said the question was answered but you have chosen to move the goal posts as expected. It’s the typical response from a blinkered blue blooded fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Jack Holder put 1.57 on his average when he moved to Somerset yet stagnated when he moved back to Poole only adding 0.10 to his starting average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had read you would realise that what has been said is some riders improve for a change of club, some don't , sometimes it just happens at the right time maybe after an injury,do you think a change for Bewley and Steve Worrall would help them!
