As a Poole fan in Plymouth I’d be disappointed if true tbh! Would enjoy seeing Lawson around Plymo but Worrall at Poole for me is better. What a random day!

Only good thing about leaks from Poland, is you have enough time to get your head around it before it's announced! Still at least 2 weeks before Poole announce something. Unless Plymouth say something first?

The contract Lawson signed at Plymouth a few weeks ago must mean something surely.

We don't know what it says in the contract? Maybe it was on the basis that the so called sponsor was there? If it's true what Phil said. But okay for promoters to break contracts when they sack riders though?

The only precedent I can think of is the Leon Madsen situation at Glasgow many many years ago. After he reneged on Glasgow contract I'm sure he wasn't able to ride in UK for a few years

Guess we'll have to see what happens. Be interesting to see what Poole and Plymouth do now as Poland have leaked it. Skidder and Lewy seem to be a bit quiet so if it wasn't true I'd expect one of them to be denying it!

Bet a contract was never signed

Spot on sugarray,  most riders don't sign contracts till just before the start of the season. 

Imagine that's correct, a deal in principle,  how many times before the start of the season have we seen a promoter not continue with a 'signed' rider because the points limit wasn't as high as thought or to be honest a better rider appear in the frame and have to juggle the team to accommodate him.

That's true and why riders may agree,  but it means nothing till they sign That's why you see riders moving just before season starts sometimes

Lawson signed for Sheffield in 2020 but moved before riding for them due to various rumours. 

Happens regularly like with Richie Worrall at Edinburgh. 

Garry May is never short of contacts or options. 

Very true - and one of Garry's regular contacts and friends is..........Richard Lawson!!
