(5H 3A) He actually achieved the assessed average over those 8 meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's this about the track, know complaints from anyone, best it's been for a long time, agreed its had its problems, but it's fine now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the likely Poole team, we will again be the team to beat. Three very strong heat leaders two improving second strings, and if it is Kemp at reserve we shall always have someone at the bottom capable of winning heats, as it will be him or one of the Cook brothers. Two titles on the bounce? Highly possible if we steer clear of injuries. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Poole and Glasgow are big clubs, Poole have been successful for a long time, Glasgow are making strides, year on year, considering where we were at when the Facenna's took over, that is a major achievement in a short time, starting from a dump of a stadium and very few assets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty seats all over the place in the grandstand and probably no more than 1200 there. Crowd was double the size at Poole. Having said that the stadium was tidy, and the fans were very friendly. Nice setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been pointed out to you several times it's Glasgow in November with the option of watching it from comfort of your living room!! And by your reckoning are Newcastle a bigger club than Man city cause more fans go to their matches? No didn't think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have restricted numbers in the stand, and 1200 is good numbers for us, considering before the takeover by Facenna 's we were probably averaging about 4-500 per meeting, we have had slow but steady increase in numbers since then, problem is that Glasgow has so much more to offer entertainment wise, and football is huge in Glasgow with Celtic and Rangers Edited December 12, 2021 by Cookiefan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW the press release sounds like a toys-out-of-the-pram load of cobblers to appease the regulars, although I expect we'll never know the truth. Now he will know how the Plymouth promotion feel, regarding Lawson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I don't have sympathy for Poole. Yes Basso probably was expected to sign but like Plymouth expected Lawson to come. Poole are a well run club and will find a replacement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Rich Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I must say I was surprised at the outburst from the promotion re Basso moving on. I thought it was a given that he would not be back for 2022 considering all the clashes with Danish fixtures. It's one thing to sign halfway through a season, and I was glad he did!, but to commit to a full season would not have worked for him or the club. I for one am grateful for his contribution to Poole's success in 2021 and wish him well for the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame it appears for Poole that they've what looks like having no chance of him riding for them again. I know it's a pr exercise, but may have come back at somepoint, especially if Poole did go back to the Premiership, sure a more subtle press release could have been concocted leaving the door open, but appeasing the fans.

szkocjasid Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) When you compare Poole's reaction to that of Plymouth when they lost Richard Lawson, it's like night & day. Plus Plymouth have more cause to complain as Lawson agreed to race for them in 2022, something Basso hadn't done. "The signing of Andersen follows the decision of Richard Lawson; who had verbally committed to The Gladiators for 2022 to focus more on his Premiership commitments with Kings Lynn in 2022 and to seek opportunities elsewhere. The Club thanks Richard for his efforts both as a short term Team Member and a regular Guest rider during 2021" Edited December 12, 2021 by szkocjasid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
