Steve Shovlar Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Zack Cook and Lawson is nailed on imo. Ben Cook and Tom Brennan top flight, Poland and Sweden, so gone. Would consider Vinnie Ford. Would like Anders Rowe and Dan Thompson. Plus a new Continental rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whoever signs him can't use him until mid July when his birthday is. Gonna be close to clubs avin ridden 75% of their meetings and unable to make changes. That's if that rule is implemented. Will be interesting to see how meetings are arranged around that time, only saying I mean it's not like us Pirates to be raising the eyebrows! 😀 Anyways both Vinnie & Sonny were leading him at Leicester until the crash so Vinnie is more than capable.

Chairboy Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 How about Poole running an NDL team in 2025? Or will they continue their policy of plucking young riders from the NDL whenever it suits them, despite making no contribution to the league themselves, effectively sponging off the efforts of others? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of it is to do with access to the stadium, the current lease holders don't want speedway there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDL not financially viable at Poole, they tried with the Bournemouth Buccaneers. Considering there are only 6 teams in the NDL you are bang out of order aiming your angst against a very professionally run club. And Leicester, who have the most successful NDL team, can't use those riders as they don't have a Championship team and ironically use a Poole rider as their rising star in the Premiership. So behave! Edited September 2 by lbw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Cairns could very well be at Poole from Mid-July and someone else doing the meetings up to that point, worth doing it to get him at Poole with his talent! With Richard arriving on his high average would mean Tom or Ben not both which reading between the lines, Ben will be doing Premiership, Poland and Sweden instead during 2025.

Skidder1 Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Even assuming the team building points limit stays at 38 points (and that remains in some doubt according to some rumours), Poole will have to lose nearly 9 points off their current team average!! With Lawson already signed on around 9.4 ish (Brit 2.5% reduction), then that leaves a mere 28.5 points left for 6 riders - assuming we stay with 7 rider teams?!!!!

Pirates Of Poole Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Rumour is it will increase to 39. But like you say Lawson is taking a massive amount of this limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
