Maybe it was due to the 'team concept'? It's not just the level of crowds who attend though is it that Poland gets judged on..? TV companies are still out bidding each other to show their racing, putting record money into the sport.. Blue Chip companies still want to sponsor clubs, doing likewise with ever increasing packages.. One thing you can guarantee from Poland is that any longer term downturn will be attempted to be reversed using a joined up, modern approach, marketing plan, and if it doesnt work, then costs will be cut accordingly... And operating model adjusted to suit... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to celebrate another double and I hope we get 6 of the 7 back next year (plus Middlo) - the other one needs to learn what being in a team is all about instead of sulking over his own performance - we have a great team spirit we don't need someone with an unjustifiable ego. Maybe having the spokes ripped out of his wheel in heat 14 didn't help his mood!!! Having said that he has to listen and learn from his more experienced teammates!!

His body language wasn’t the best after his third ride and just got worse, no excuses for not being out on track with the boys after heat 12, before the heat 14 antics.

Pretty sure the ink has dried on that contract. Can we keep the top 3 under the point limit? King, Worrall, Lawson, Ben & Zach, Complin and Ablitt?

He's not a particular favourite of mine. I'm also not impressed with his warm up lap wheelies and then not delivering in the meeting!! As I said he needs to listen and learn from more experienced team members whether for Poole or Wolves! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the final agreed points limit as well as the final team building rider averages, especially after the article in this week's Speedway Star?!

He has so much potential and natural talent, that’s the sad thing. Hope he can get his head in the right place for 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we think Ablitt would improve enough to be worthy of a team place next season.This season he hasn't won a race and would the Ford's build a 6 man team again as that's really what we had this season although it worked out well.

If the proposed limit is agreed I think a few 2.00 point riders are going to be needed, talking to another promoter recently and they would take Nathan if Poole don't use him.

Steve Shovlar Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Re: Drew. He clearly has ability it’s there for all to see. But he seems held back by his temperament. He rarely smiles, seems withdrawn and if he has a bad first ride seems to sulk rather than geeing himself up. His head tells him he can win heat 14 and he normally does. But often it is too little too late. Last night he was in a great battle until the spokes were ripped out of his wheel. But it caused him a massive strop, enough to miss the celebrations. There’s no doubt the ability is there but being held back. Perhaps having a course with a sports psychologist might be the way for him to overcome the issues he seems to have during meetings. His temperament definitely looks to hold back the potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cough - Plymouth - May is there any new 2.00 coming up through the system that would be any better? I honestly don’t know. Maybe there is someone but would they score more than Nathan?

Nathan is a nice likeable lad and not scoring doesn’t seem to get him down. He is young and raw and it’s no surprise another promoter would take him on if we don’t.

flagrag Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Congratulations to Poole on winning last night they were the best team on the night at Kings Lynn I do believe that had the meeting been at Leicester on a usual grippy track then Leicester would have won on the night and been very close maybe 2 point sway as don’t think Lawson would go unbeaten with Morris and Worrall to beat him and although in good form both the Cook brothers wouldn’t have scored the same amount. On a similar note both Thompson twins would have scored more as well. Overall a good nights racing and a big shame more didn’t attend to watch it live but I do understand why with the early start and distance involved. It’s interesting reading Poole fans comments for next season and their views on Kemp and Ablitt, What would Poole fans views on replacing them two with the Thompson twins ?
