Obviously he won't say anything against Poole as it's not in his interest to burn any bridges, King as been around long enough to know that but the fact is Poole decided on keeping Worrall and not him,all this stuff about getting an offer he couldn't refuse is just a way of justifying their decision, I'm sure Steve Worrall had plenty of offers also. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly wants the security of a Club who have more certain future with Poole Stadium site prime development land and no assurance re tenancy after 2024. Even if BCP try ro offer new site in return for changing covenants over current site it could be 18 to 24 months to get planning permissions and new stadium built.

I disagree with that, all speedway riders know anytime they sign for a team it is likely to only be for one season unless they are signed on a longer deal and that isn't the case with Danny King and Redcar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny actually said he would like to come back to Poole hopefully in a couple of seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said you can only sign none assets on one year deals and if they’re your assets you can sign them for longer 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Judging by both Josh's and Davey's Insta updates, neither are looking to return to UK - or could it all be a smokescreen? Nobody commented about the possibility of Tungate when he was mentioned previously - even to slag off the suggestion?! Admittedly his converted average would rule him out anyway.

You’re just teasing again, aren’t you?! Tungate seems to have settled into a “ride for a wage rider” only interested in going where the money is good. There’s hardly a clamour for his services. Was there not a rumour that he’d asked for a fixed payment from a PL team in 2022 that would have made him one of the highest paid riders in UK? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the next edition of the Piratecast Live video, with special guest, is provisionally scheduled for Weds 21st December............ Ah yes, just seen the notification go up on YT it is with Danny Ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Some great news for the Pirates and their Matchday DJ Karlito! Following some very positive feedback after this year's Cardiff GP (and all Pirate meetings!) Karlito has been confirmed as the official stadium DJ/Music Presenter for all rounds of the 2023 Speedway Grand Prix series! #sweetcaroline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
