Other teams aspire to win a fraction of the trophies Poole have won in the Ford era. Glasgow even tried to buy most of the previous seasons Poole team but failed miserably. There’s much more to it than just putting together a decent looking side. Last season proved it. When it came down to the playoffs and end of season action no one else was even close. The bad news for the rest is that in 2023, it’s all going to be so familiar with Pirates romping it when it matters. Sad to see Danny King move on. Served us very well in his time with us. He must be gutted but with the low points limit we could never keep all three heat leaders. Good luck to him with his future club. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...or maybe just a wind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole management always trickle feed riders throughout the winter. Has been the way since Matt took over in 99. Pretty sure as Stevie Wonder once sort of said, the team is signed sealed and will deliver in 23. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted November 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 The interesting question is whether it was Matt/Danny's Option A,B orC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he does ride Birmingham very, very well and as a real number one will no doubt give them some serious clout at the top,end. Maybe not but IF he had a decent offer on the table plus Danny could at that time not commit what his squad would be, and knowing the 40 points would mean letting one of the three go then maybe they reached an amicable agreement that suited all parties. Whether that be Brum or any other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 12 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: So that basically confirmed Steve Worrall and Richard Lawson. Both Cooks is 4, so three riders to be named. We know that Ablitt and Drew are not likely to return. Three new riders IMO. Think the 4 are obvious, it’s the last 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all 3 options only had 2 H/L so arguable one had to go. If Danny did have a decent offer from another club on the table then a difficult decision for whichever H/L it was in effect was avoided. Also meant Danny didnt get kept waiting which one while others snapped up the slot he was initially offered. Nice if it was as all parties move on as friends.

Anyone know? As I have said before only way Steve is leaving Poole is if it decides to leave imo. 4 minutes ago, Skidder1 said: The interesting question is whether it was Matt/Danny's Option A,B orC? I would assume option A would have Rew and Tate in. So if they sign I think we are in option A. Option B could be just one of them and option C neither.

STEVEHOLS54 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Well we know it's Morris as No 1 at Brum. So no timed agreement with Danny leaving. I'm sure Danny's fixed up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to the guy I say. Been a good Captain Had it tough at times last season with his equip, but came good when it mattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Rew on 5 and Zischke on 4 I was of the understanding. Both fit, its a case of whats left which not a lot. Beleive tate only had a few guest rides/meetings in DK second Div before going back to Aussie just to test the water. In effect NO real racing experience in Europe of note.
