Only thing is his average last season is mostly from riding at Leicester. Would need to give him a bit of time to settle in. Also are they allowed to ride in all 3 leagues? Scored at no5 for Leicester at Poole 4+1 so looks like would be ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 From a lions point of view it would be great if he signed for Poole. Always said it from the start that with time and patience he would do well there. Us lions really rate him. Yes his away from is average but he's only just turned 18 . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Best wishes to Jack Thomas for a full recovery, meanwhile Ipswich & Poole fans instead of worrying who will replace him how about getting some fund raising going to help the very unfortunate lad? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, good idea. Also in the local media it says Poole are going to take their time deciding what to do. So wouldn't expect anything this or next week.

It would be a little harsh to make a signing announcement immeadiately. As Danny Ford says, there are a few options available so no doubt discussions are already taking place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some lovely soft Armco barrier before you hit the concrete., you are buggered if the bike goes in first and lifts the air fence panel before you get there as Steve Worrall and a few others will tell you.

It’s probably the least safest safety fence in the U.K. imo. all the best to jack in his recovery lad hasn’t had much luck.

May be Jim Lawrence should get off his backside and get up there to check it then. Rider safety is paramount. Maybe they could ask NORA92 to offer some expertise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Surely it would be prudent to move the air fence in 1m or more leaving a gap which would certainly lessen the chances of hitting the armco barrier Jack Thomas, Dan gilkes, Joe Alcock would certainly have had more of a chance imo. Zane Kennedy not so much as he went right over the top. As has been previously stated definitely needs some sort of investigation 3 serious crashes in less than 12months is not a coincidence ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole are fortunate to have plenty of options, Kemp, D.Thompson & Rowe look the best options. Bad news for Thomas who's had a few injuries sadly!
