Only time will tell but I think those taking glee at Poole’s lineup and predicting doom will be disappointed come season’s end as while there are some good looking teams I don’t see any better than the Pirates currently. 

i think glasgow match them until july 

after that poole are head and shoulders above in all likelihood

I doubt Max Perry had Greg Hancock mentoring him!!

He is coming to one of the best run clubs in British Speedway and under the guidance of Middlo, who can blame him.

I guess that's one reason why Poole don't bother with the NDL, let others train up riders & can still pick up the best prospects.

I would think Poole is the most "pressure club" to join, the club & fans expect to win every season & riders know they could be dropped if they don't perform, even if the team is doing well.

If you don't want any pressure go to Berwick, Edinburgh or Plymouth, they're used to losing lol!

 

Yeah Poole has to be a pressure club to join because they are so driven by success. No doubt they will have offered William the biggest financial package which if your in a position to do that who wouldn't.

Every club should want success. William made his choice on many factors and advised by many people I would imagine.

Hancock doesn't exactly have a great record as a mentor!

He has a great record of getting significant financial benefit from those he has mentored; with very little for the recipient of his knowledge, gained from it.

To coin a phrase, no doubt he has grinned all the way to the bank.

The Cairns family clearly have the means to give their clearly very talented son the very best chance of success he can have. 

Sport shows though that in the heat of battle, in that brutal first turn, no amount of coaching, mentoring will help you, it's brutal , its survival of the fittest and hungriest.

It will be interesting to see how Mr Cairns develops.

So who’s the poor stop gap till June? 

...til July 1st..Any one of several NDL hopefuls who would be chuffed at the chance!😄

The announcement has certainly caught the regional media attention, with excellent coverage in newspapers - print and online - plus TV, local radio stations and socials.😇

Signing cairns is Poole's contribution to the development of British youth, cherry pick the best with the lure of ££££s without helping the development of the youngsters, just a throwaway item like Max Perry last season.

i'd be inclined to say it's not the money, it's the success the club has

Well said Lewy. They can't be arsed to run a team at NDL level, but want the NDL to exist for their convenience, run by other clubs. Poole Parasites

Probably a case of they are not prepared to lose money rather than they can't be bothered. Does anyone break even in the NDL?

I would say that is a fair assessment.
