poole keith Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 i believe one of the announcements tonite will be the offer to fans of massively discounted holidays in a french chateau and the other an appeal for a local carpet fitter prepared to work abroad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, though, only by a couple of people, and not those that Poole rely on for guidance. We’ve had plenty of late start ex-moto crossers, but they all take time to get used to only turning left. The plus side with Poole, though, is a rough track won’t put him off He’s had a couple of decent state championship though the majority of riders were pretty inexperienced. Looking at the field for his home state championships, he should have walked that, but didn’t take part. He was unfortunate at Albury in the Australian championships but maybe inexperience caught him out? That ruled him out completely so he wasn’t able to show how good he is when up against a more competitive field. We know what Todd Kurtz can do (flashes of brilliance but a dependable 5 pointer) so he looks the easy choice. Having said that, I think Poole’s masterplan for CL domination is in the bin and they must be thankful that the transfer restrictions announced yesterday don’t apply to this league. Matt Ford must be a great David Bowie fan: Ch-ch-ch-changes! The challenge that Matt/Danny have is if they choose a 4 point Aussie reserve, that only leaves them 4.97 for the other 2nd string - assuming we've got all the GSAs and any appropriate reductions correct?! As for the Todd Kurtz option (5.43) at 2nd string, he has an established regular base, with facilities, at Middlo's, he knows the Poole set-up having been in brother Brady's corner in recent seasons and he's an established Championship 2nd string. In fact he finished as Sheffield's 3rd heat leader last season!!! That option would then leave 3.54 (+2.5%?) for the final reserve?! As many have said - correctly - in the past, its not how you start its how you finish!!! Edited January 15, 2020 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeppesen has contracts in Denmark, Poland and elsewhere so I can't see him in the frame. Edited January 15, 2020 by Skidder1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyabb17 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Perhaps I should have clarified what I mean. For two season Poole haven’t used race suits in the top league with national media (tv) coverage....BT sports etc. Swindon have used race suits for as long as I can remember & last season were able to incorporate the main sponsor as a colour, for what I understand it was a great success for said sponsor. Team suits also make the sport look more professional (although I understand some won’t agree). Swindon also have auctioned off the team suits at the end of the season. What I don’t understand is what Poole have decided after two years to bring team suits back When the national media coverage isn’t as great.

szkocjasid Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Personally I'm not a fan of racesuits, I find it much harder to know which rider is which! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedthebaw Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Oh dear, Havvy as Team Manager. Good luck with that one, he could maybe ride a bike in his day, but Team Management skills and interpersonal skills ! He most certainly has not got. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 A couple of years too late but good to see racesuits, hopefully the rest of the Championship who don’t have them already follows suit(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Someone who isn’t a poole fan. What do you want us to do? (This isn’t a joke) we can’t seem to do anything right . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Great news all round, having Havvy as away team manager is fantastic news, always liked him as a man and a rider. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Not at all happy with Havelock coming in. Never liked him as a rider and even less respect as a person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Does have an air of desperation about it. Fans expecting and led to believe there would be decisions made on final 2 Team places once Australian Finals were over but with nothing to report come up with a big announcement announcement to say Havvy as away team manager and Racesuits is something of a letdown to put it mildly.
