Zach Cook to replace Basso and a straight swap for Schlein! That would leave 4.7 available to replace Schlein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they now want to rock up over here then if they are no more expensive to employ than who we current have then fine. Otherwise why jeopardise your finances for a ‘name’ on a team sheet.

As reported in the Star they won't be able to afford the top star line ups like this season, no matter when they came in. Champions Dackarna cud only attract 989 for the home leg of the play off final with Woffinden, Doyle, Janowski Thorssell etc in their side. That must have crippled the club"s wallet.

Isn't it about time that British clubs started publishing their attendances? The clubs must know for tax reasons if nothing else so why keep it a secret from the fans?

Steve Shovlar Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Maybe two surprises? Speedway fans often wonder why Poole have been so consistently successful over the last 20 years. The answer is that Matt has been quite ruthless when it comes to selecting his 1-7 and takes no prisoners. No easy ride for the season. If a rider isn’t cutting it, he gets cut himself. Keleher found that out pretty quickly and was extremely lucky to get picked up by Plymouth. Matt has proved time and again, that a rider who is popular with the fans may not be back the following season. Mark Loram was extremely populat at Wimborne Road but out he went. Replaced by TRick to the shock of the Poole faithful. This time around Ben Basso, who has so much potential to improve could find himself promoting Basso hats elsewhere. Will young Danyon Hume, who did brilliantly this gone season, have averaged himself out of a berth? That would be a huge shame if it happened. Matt Fords job is to put together a title winning side and emotions have to be put on the back burner. This worst part of owning and running a speedway team.
