Diamonds85 Posted Tuesday at 10:11 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:11 PM Rather than Poole, if the powers that be insisted on no byes in the competition therefore 8 teams were needed, they should have contacted a Danish or Polish or German team etc to see if they wanted to come and do a one off meeting over here. A Landshut select side with the likes of Huckenbeck, Smolinski, Grobauer. Or perhaps an Aussie select side with a bunch of Australian riders who don't ride in the PL. A bit of outside the box thinking. It would have made it more interesting for everyone else who isn't a poole fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued to know the names of the 7 Australian Premiership standard riders not currently racing in the Premiership, as is every promoter..!? 😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it take so long for Poole to confirm their involvement in the KOC? Doesn't strike me as something befitting a "professional" sport! Maybe due to some offtrack commitments early season? Imo its more to do with the dates rather than the team line-up!!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Jubilee Trophy double header? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the strengthened-up Pirates finally accept the surprise invitation to the Prem Cup and manage to beat Sheffield then they will be up against Brum or Leicester in the S/F so suitable guests/ assets shouldn't be an issue eg Cook, Brennan, Kurtz, Holders etc........🫠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it will have to be on their terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Mouse bollox obviously but it will still be worth a giggle to watch it all unfold...😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
