If my memory serves me right, it's happened before. At least you know the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Steve will be joining us at our Christmas market stall in Poole Dolphin Shopping Centre from 11:00-12:30 on Tue (20th) to sign autographs, take photos and have a chat Pop down to the Dolphin Centre next Tuesday and have a chat with him. I'm sure that will allay your concerns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa-colette Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Watching the interview DK sounds a bit annoyed by the Poole decision. But what is done is done, just have to move on with it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Eck Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Poole have a tradition of signing riders that excite their supporters and confound their opponents but none of the names being bandied about as the last three will do that. Worrall, Lawson and the Cook brothers are definites but none of the other names like Complin, Roynon or, heaven forfend, Manzares excite me. My view is we’ve seen the best of all three and it’s surely the modern Poole way to sign middle order and reserve riders that will improve. Or maybe with Matt concentrating on his business in France, he’s lost the magic touch? Surely not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray c Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 unless we sign a young aussie to set the place alight cant see anything magical about the riders who are being mentioned for last three places .may not be so easy for us next time around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complins name only came up because his average suited numbers game. A bit like some of the other names mentioned. How about Ablitt(2.00) plus 2 riders over 4.92 to get under 12.97 and keep Zach at reserve? Dan Thompson (5.09) and Paul Starke (5.11)??

The British Speedway podcast seems to be sure Dan hasn't got a team and i'm sure at least one of them knows what the Poole team is. So going to assume Dan isn't in the team.

I wouldn’t be surprised by either. It was Complin, Roynon and Manzares’ names that I thought weren’t right for Poole. Roynon will do a job for someone I’m sure but I don’t think Poole is his sort of track. Or team. If I recall, he also has history with Richard Lawson. And, in my view, Manzares has been away too long. Was his last season in UK 2018 with Scunthorpe? I suspect there are plenty of Brits out there that will do as good a job.
