So Poole let Danyon move on, being announced today in the Glasgow lineup. I thought he did well for us last year and I would have loved to have seen him back. 
 

Good luck in your career Danyon.

It's his reward for having a good season, served his purpose & out.

I hope to the delay is well worth it as I'm sure it will be.

My concern is if  it's a marketing ploy rather than trying to pin down a major signing.

Ford will see us right :t:

Who is gonna buy a season ticket with no team news though. Not many imo.

Surely you buy a season ticket because you want to go to speedway, surely it doesn't depend on who's riding? 


Do you think that we won't have a competitive team?

Matter of opinion I guess. You may think it is competitive and I may disagree. People think different things. I have noticed on SM when other clubs have announced signings and ST go on sale if it is a strong team, you will have good ST sales. Unless you go every week and not mind saving much on them (unless Poole are doing a reasonable discount compared to just paying each week) then some people will wait imo.

Basso to Glasgow next. If they can’t beat us, they try to buy the Poole team to try and replicate.

Makes sense! I have a Xmas version of the hat he likes. Just needs to write Peterborough in black on one side and Glasgow in white on the other side! lol.

With his Danish commitments on a Wednesday Poole was never an option for both parties.

By signing 2 riders you've chosen to stick on the scrapheap? Utter BS

The riders concerned will probably benefit riding on a well prepared consistent track at home which will improve their confidence and help their away form aswell, well done Glasgow. :t:

Scrapheap? Do me a favour! I was at the meeting when Matt Ford said he really wanted to keep Basso for 2022 but knew it would be difficult. One of the reasons we moved down was to get Weds nights back again, so hardly going to change it again for one rider and even if we were prepared to, what night would be allowed to race on? 

I'm guessing Hume prob was in the team before someone else decided to leave Plymouth. Might have had to choose between Hume and Ben Cook?

Given Hume and basso on basically same average then why not if were so desperate to keep basso give Hume that place?

Ben is 5.31 and maybe they prefer to squeeze him in to the team? We could be on team L now considering how long it is taking and I am sure Hume would have featured in one of the teams at some point.  But you are definitely underestimating how much Poole wanted to keep Basso.

Season tickets aren't the target for most clubs. In fact the more they sell, the less money they make! Season tickets knock money off per meeting remember so selling a full stadium worth is no good.

They're simply a tactic to gain some money to survive the winter and pay signing on fees etc. I'd imagine enough Poole faithful will buy them regardless of team to top up the pot
