allthegearbutnaeidea Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Poole, in regards to CHAMPIONSHIP speedway, which is what we are discussing, as it is the CHAMPIONSHIP riders championship, is in the middle of nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 So back on track - I see the Speedway Star this week is reporting that Mr Basso is in fact a Poole asset and that Glasgow will probably have to pay a transfer fee. (probably a big fee as Matt's French Chateau is likely to be affected by Christmas cancellations after the French ban on British tourists from Saturday!) Also Poole's delay in naming riders for 2022 is caused - in part - to not being able to include Basso in their plans. 2 riders due in town last Tuesday to sign the paperwork on their previously agreed verbal contract terms, so lets hope theres no hiccups there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVEHOLS54 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Still no riders announced. Maybe the rent issue still not resolved. Can't see any other reason why with so many riders now announced elsewhere. Think most of us near enough worked out it will be Worrall/King/Lawson/Kemp/Both Cooks - Now its who is the 2 pointer left Ablitt or Mulford. Both are 17 born with 1 day of each other in March. Mulford scores looked better in N/L last season 8.32 GSA against Ablitt 6.77. Maybe some posters on here have an idea who may at this stage be the better rider. I see Mulford also signed as K.Lynn number 8 so they must have seen something in the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
