If we are signing Ellis, it leaves a bit over 7pts for the last two? Who they are will be key & whether they are capable of picking off the other teams reserves. Could see Zaine Kennedy with you guys. Then maybe an Alfie Bowtell or a Jack Smith at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Zaine has put on twitter that he doesn't have a team in uk, which is a shame as I think he has potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked Danny King and will provide a good spearhead with Steve Worrall and probably Adam Ellis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4gillian Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) In my personal experience Danny King has never been that prolific at Wimborne Road so am a touch surprised about this signing personally. Whilst he is a top rider in the Championship, he's not great at our place but I guess that can improve riding it every week. Having said the above, welcome Danny Edited December 5, 2019 by chris4gillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 The video was rather good. Over 10K views on Twitter. 3.5 on Facebook. 1K on instagram. Plus the website and Echo. Glasgow are rightly first but Poole must be 2nd now with the social media. Good to see the champ having better social Media than the prem.

Having said the above, welcome Danny King average 7.43 last season at Poole. While riding at 5. Which is pretty impressive. Also first meeting he got 1 point after falling in 3 rides. But imagine he will Be on for 10 points most meetings at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is it doesn't really take a lot to put decent stuff together (taking nothing away from those who do). I used to mess around on photoshop when I was 16/17 and the stuff that came out was better than most team's social medias. Never really understood why clubs don't just get a local University student to do some volunteer work, put a few photos/videos together and make some content, everyone's a winner.

Would have to agree. It is very hard at all. Does help 2/3 of the Poole promoters happen to work for a website company. But all the clubs part of the Pearson media tree, Wolves, Swindon, Leicester, Sheffield, Somerset, Kent, Lynn, Pboro have awful social media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily see him average some crazy number at home like 11.2 or something. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going by last season he wasn't that great. Yes I have missed out 1 meeting above where he got 13, however overall at Poole he was not overly impressive and riding at No. 5 in a watered down Premier league he should've done better. I like Danny, but his home form (not away) next season is a minor concern for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's definitely a common denominator with them all. It's frustrating when one tweet, regardless of origin, can be seen by hundreds, thousands and even millions of people and yet there seems little effort to put any effort in. I happened to look at a Championship club's Twitter the other night, they follow about 150 people, most of which are other speedway clubs/accounts - why aren't they getting out there following journalists/media etc etc and spreading their name? Baffling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffling. Its awful. Poole have gained 400 followers since we dropped down. Somerset and Kent are truly embarrassing with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
