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.

2 competitive meetings i believe, which would make him a 5 the same as brady kurtz when he first signed for Somerset. Precedent he's been set but who knows maybe in the best interests of Speedway/Poole.

Am gutted Danny is not at Poole next season a true Pirate legend,nothing against Steve but I would of chose Danny every day of the week.

As for the next 3 I’m assuming 

plan A is Rew,Zischke and 3.97 rider

plan B is Thomas 4.78,Zischke and upto 4.22  

plan C no idea lol

I reckon only 12.97 left for 3 riders so if it is Rew (5) and Zischke(4) that leaves 3.97 for the other reserve.

I am  very disappointed Danny won't be back next season and it isn't about the numbers game, they obviously prefer other riders,, probably Steve Worrall, I would prefer Danny king every day of the week.

Oxford, Brum in 2021

He only rode a few meetings for Oxford as he broke both his wrists - and then tried to come back too soon. 

Was very hit and miss, but capable of beating almost anyone in this league on his day. Great signing for his average I’d say. I also loved how passionate he was - really celebrated every time he won a race. It clearly meant a lot to him each time.

So am i,thought he was an excellent captain and a very decent bloke not that Steve Worrall isn't but must be a reason Danny was let go as they are both as good as each other on the track and probably on the same money.Maybe money was the deciding factor we'll never know or maybe some scribes on here who seem to be well informed,someone can't remember who said Danny was going to I think Redcar a few pages ago or then Birmingham will give us the answer still rest assured the Ford's will put together a top team.

Scoring wise his away performance was below both Steve and Richie. With the reduction in points one had to go and they have decided Danny wasn’t who they wanted.

That seems a good theory why he was let go it's away you need your big guns scoring as at home your second string and reserves can be the difference thanks for that info.

Let’s be honest. 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.

Oxford's team selection have shown Poole COULD have kept their top 3. But must have decided to go with more strength in depth!
