Reckon our team will be built around Sam, Kye and Drew (if he agrees to return). Also think we’ll honour our agreement with Lasse Fredriksen who’ll come in on a 5.00 average.  Personally, would love to keep it as close to our current team as possible.
 

Masters 9.41

Kemp 3.82

Kye 5.51

Josh 8.34

Richie 7.96

Edwards 2.07

3* RS

37.11 + 3*

Rumours Sam maybe on the move. Hope not. Can’t afford to lose him as well as well as Richie. Would be great if we could announce at least one signing.

That would be disappointing. If he was to move then I’d genuinely be looking for us to get Cookie back. 


Be majorly surprised if Sam, Kye and Josh aren’t in the blue and gold for 2022. Think any unhappiness Sam has is from the team building side and the fact he wants to win trophies, it’s hard to win anything when you carry 2 or 3 riders for the majority of the season. Missing out on Richie and Drew has been a setback but there is always another plan. I’m sure if Cookie is available he will certainly be on our radar ;)

Isn’t he ours? I know it’s not as simple as that but we must have some say!

You get to talk to him before Glasgow! ;) And ask him what he plans to do, but that is about it I think. 

About the same as 30-40 riders that have to ask Poole if they are riding for them before talking to other clubs. ;)

As Lisa says below…

Personally don’t think he’ll be back with us next year, haven’t heard anything to suggest he’ll be anywhere other than Glasgow.

Think we may see a more balanced team with a strong reserve to start the season…

Sam leaving be huge blow. Where would he be going though? Off top of my head can't think of anywhere still fit him in (based on rumours) than Glasgow, Edinburgh or Poole?

He will probably be much better off financially racing in the Premiership and Poland so if he leaves i can't see him racing for another Championship club. Poland is where the money is and they don't like their riders racing too often in Britain.

Believe I read he has a 2nd Division team in Poland? Or was that Josh? But that would allow him champ, prem and Poland.

 

Edinburgh team building be in disarray if that's true, only 1 of top 3 potentially returning, no real no.1s available unless can get brother Steve to return?

He may wish to move up to a top tier Polish team though. I read somewhere recently that Zmarslik is set to earn over £1 million next season with over 350k euros of that just from riding for Gorzow.

Good a rider though Sam undoubtedly is, I don't think he's polish top flight material. With limits on number of foreign riders I don't think any of the top flight teams be banging his door down
