That’s what Tigers thought  last year,cannot imagine Glasgow Promotion didn’t help him out financially with equipment,didn’t live up too expections.

While that's true, Starke racing at reserve for Poole should score more than he did for Glasgow. Would be surprised if his average went above Thomsen's.

I see on Facebook that the supporters club have a quiz planned for 15 January. Full team should be known by then. Should generate some lively discussion between questions.

Should be known before Xmas according to the press.

Poole have lost Cook Brennan Foord and Hagon … replaced by Rowe Kerr Starke and a 2 pointer

Yes they had to lose points but that’s a big downgrade of rider

I can see more than 1 signing on July 1st. Even with Cairns this team will struggle, they must be saving the 0.96 for someone.

I'm very positive, they won't have 0.96 available come July 1st.

Tbh I can certainly see this team winning the league (with Cairns).

And paying the same price for the privilege. Couldn’t watch that dross every week there’s very little to get excited about there! There HAS to be envious eyes looking up to the Premiership and seeing fans watching the likes of Sayfutdinov, Doyle, Holders, Woffinden, Fricke, Bewley, Kurtz, whilst their leading lights are Richard Lawson! Used to have Shovlar telling all and sundry when Poole were in the top flight that he’d NEVER support lower league racing because it was crap..

If the "envious eyes" bit was fact then nobody would watch NDL and the like. Yes the Premiership has some top riders but it doesn't automatically make the racing more exciting to watch. There's no denying that watching Vinnie and Tobias was worth the fee.

On that rationale the GP's would be the best racing you can watch but in reality how often is that the case? 

No doubting that the track craft of world class riders on a decent track can produce brilliant racing but any riders of similar ability can produce that, i certainly don't buy that higher levels is required to produce excitement, in fact lower grades can add to unpredictability which brings anticipation in different ways.

This a good Poole team and I don’t see any teams with a better 1 to7. 
yes it’s not as good as last years but that’s speedway. Last Poole won 3 titles all rather comfortably. So it looks more competitive this season which is good. 
 

I don’t see why so many are desperate to put this Poole team down. They’ll be absolutely fine. 
arguably the best number 1 in the league 

possibly the best 3 and 4 pairing 

a number 1 riding at 5

a reserve who will be fantastic at home and good away

Poole v Sheffield KO cup is 26th March

Ndl is often the best racing 

Yes you don't have the better riders and stylish riders 

But the racing is closer and more of them are trying hard 

Just the machinery and ability is lower standard

Take away the 7 you mention and your watching the same riders as Championship though.Not much in it IMO.

I'd counter that with he's not likely to get extra rides as he would with a lower team. Probably get a maximum 5 rides per meeting whereas might get 7 most meetings elsewhere. Anyway it seems Poole's season seems to be resting on a 15 year old. Was very impressive at ashfield in the youth meeting and I'm sure be a success. But I don't see him coming in and scoring double figures immediately personally 

A tonne load of track time and running equipment on a totally different level to those around him plays a massive part in his results so far, far fairer playing field in the Championship so time will tell if he's as cracked up to the hype around him.
