Redcar must be sweating on the points limit then if they are near enough nailed on to resign Wright on his high 9.59 GSA. Their total team GSA is 43.39 so if it is 41 or 42 then they are going to be looking to shed rider/s.

Have no idea where Riss bases himself in UK but if it is way up North then maybe logic would dictate keeping him but then again he also rides for KL down South (East).

Just knocking ideas around to cultivate discussion, but yes he is a decent rider and perhaps improving having just recently turned 24. I could be way off of course and he may not even be in Poole's thinking. They are hardly cash rich so may have UK based riders more in mind.

He's based at Kings Lynn's track so probably quite nicely placed for most of the UK really

Well you may well keep him then.

Google maps is near enough 4 hours Poole/KL notwithstanding what traffic you may hit on the M25/M3 which is a lottery on any given day. KL/Redcar is more like 3 hours 20/30 mins :D

You never know though and at least it ignited some kind of debate on a thread that had not been touched since last Wed which must be a record for Poole on this SGB Forum.

However you may have noticed I mentioned earlier on similar subject that I would like to see Jordan Stewart given a try at Poole as he seems to be an up and coming young Aussie with potential. Again no idea where he is based but I assume up North if h rides for Redcar. I see him progressing and certainly worth a go on his lowish GSA. Come on mate you have got to give somewhere as you are going to probably be over the points limit anyway ;).

Not singling out Redcar riders as i named plenty of others as I saw what would seem ideal riders that may be available. I bypassed Charles wright as although a Poole asset (and I question WHY when he said he doesn't want to ride/travel South). Why would Ford sign an asset who doesn't want to ride down South. Having said that he was happy enough riding every season in the South for a combination of Somerset/Swindon and Peterborough since 2013. Maybe if the deal is right he is happy to travel. Sometimes money talks and as said why would Ford have paid to sign him as an asset unless he just wants repeat loan fees.

Why on earth would any rider want to make a downward career move to a club in trouble and up for sale?

100% Riss is based in Doncaster moved there with his girlfriend now fiancee, the year he signed for Lynn as the traveling from Edinburgh was too much. He has used the AFA van all year but doesn't stay there.

Interesting, when he gets out the van every week at Redcar having travelled from Kings Lynn. And stays in hotels in Middlesbrough for convenience when travelling back down to Lynn doesn't make sense. Doncaster is only an hour away he'd just travel back if that was the case.

What's the thinking behind that Flagrag ?? The POL connection again maybe ??

If that's the case would it not knock them out of most teams planning if not all ?? (Champ that is not Prem)

Nothing to do with Poland but think you will find them riding their Speedway away from the South Coast in 2020
