Happy New Year see you in May Great, hopefully weather good and you get to see a couple of great meetings. We visited Wimborne Road for your opening fixture against Oxford last season. It was a cracking day and biggest crowd I've seen at Poole, previously visited on 3 or 4 occasions when you guys were in the Elite league.

Pirates Of Poole Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 19 hours ago, Catalan said: A few of us doing the Glasgow/Workington weekend. Looking Forward to it. Happy New Year see you in May Yes I too am planning this weekend! along with a visit to Sheffield v Oxford on way up. Just looking through some of the comments..... I hope I'm wrong but can't see Thomsen lasting and feel he will struggle, this signing is a massive gamble. Personally I would have gone with Stefan Nielsen on a 3.75 average, yes has a history of getting injured but at Poole as a second string in a weaker league he would have scored well. He would have also scored well away from home I'm sure. Let's see if he turns up in the championship to start the season as feel someone will snap him up quick to replace riders not performing!

He's got a job outside of Speedway now but he'd still be willing to give speedway a go if the call was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nielsen would be a bigger gamble, if his average drops to 3.00, far less alternatives available. Thomsen can't drop below 4.00, so I don't see that as a gamble really, if he's awful can sign another 4.00 rider (& repeat till 75% of the fixtures are raced) or even Nielsen then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him back at Poole at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 It always seems to get talked about every winter. Here is the answer from the horses mouth as it were . “I know a few Poole supporters were hoping that we would go up (to the Premiership). “But we’ve already stated our reasons for being in the Championship a million times. Fixed race nights simply don’t work for us at Poole. “A Monday and a Thursday would be a huge financial risk for us. I know there was some comments about that, so I just wanted to address that. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/24025264.danny-ford-oxford-speedway-running-three-teams-2024-season/?ref=suit&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Saw these averages posted on the Workington thread: Tobias Thomsen (8.64) Sam Jensen (8.42) Kasper Andersen (8.33) Given Jensen & Andersen have averaged above 4 in tougher Championship seasons, I can see why Poole went for Thomsen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
