If Stevie can get back to his pre leg break form he will be one of top riders in the league, we at Newcastle seen glimpses of it last year but he was very inconsistent. Although in saying that I could easily see him putting a point on his average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I thought for one min we would be in this league i would have taken more notice! Will have to go back on the updates site and do some research on some of the team I think!

Wee Eck Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I think years of ignoring British talent and failing to nurture juniors will come back to haunt Poole. There are no bargain averages in this league and every knows leagues are won with riders on their way up, honing their skills week by week. The inexperience of the management in this league and their lack of knowledge of CL riders will hurt Poole. I like Danny King and Steve Worrall but they’re not going to increase their averages by much, if any. And why would any young Brit want to go to Poole knowing their dislike of British youth - was Poole the only PL track who declined to hold a round of the British Youth Championship? I think, for Poole’s sake, there needs to be an acceptance that Matt Ford’s days are numbered. The most successful promoter of the last decade plus is out of his depth in this league. Whether Danny can replace him, and re-create his dad’s success may we’ll be dependent on him being strong enough to insist it’s his show, and to tell Matt to stay in France. Otherwise, if the Poole faithful want success, and they’re certainly used to it, maybe they should try to help find new owners, owners who understand the lower leagues and can command respect in them.

We must also remember poole dont give riders many chances if they under perform like you say there are not many choices available out there jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Anyone know where Adam Ellis is going in the Championship? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ellis needs to get out of the Championship altogether if he wants to progress. He’s been “up and coming” for far too long and needs to get team places abroad if he’s going to get anywhere. He’ll be 24 next year and has ridden in the middle or top leagues in Britain for about 7 seasons. When he’s on song, he’s a superb rider but needs (imo) to start challenging himself more if he’s going to progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a place with Rzeszow after Gorzow loaned him out. So he is riding League 2 speedway in Poland. Which very similar to Championship speedway.

I assume that if he’s committed to Danish league, that rules him out of UK Wednesday night tracks, hence him not riding for Birmingham, and if he gets a regular team place in Poland, that rules him out of CL altogether. Hopefully the new Rzeszow promotion will pay its riders on time unlike the last one. Actually, that sounds very similar to some Championship teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 This is a list of riders in the lower league last season who have ridden for Poole or are an asset NBJ Ellis Shanes Newman Kennett Wells Starke Nicholls R. Worrall THJ Wright (asset) Nielsen Howarth Harris Covatti I may have missed some so apologies 11 Brits there that have at one time been pushed aside Poole should be able to entice some of those named riders above if they had been treated properly And out of that list the only 2 i could see signing for Poole are Nielsen and Covatti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Covatti even doing UK in 2020? With that logic you should maybe try Promoting or Team Managing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I think the one thing all Poole Fans trust is the ability to build solid teams. When I last spoke to him he said “ we aren’t dropping a league to make up the numbers, I want to win.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
