Starman2006 2,353 Posted November 7, 2017 You should be very, very worried. All Poole’s assets are over the hill now and no one wants to ride for you. Poole are doomed! Are we,i don't think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoombdog 2,362 Posted November 7, 2017 Cant believe Gater doesn't want Shanes back. I would imagine pretty much every fan who actually attended a meeting last year and saw Shanes would want him in their 7. Certainly impressed me at Swindon. Suppose if you haven't ever seen live Speedway then your judgment could be wrong so will forgive Gater 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine pretty much every fan who actually attended a meeting last year and saw Shanes would want him in their 7. Certainly impressed me at Swindon. Suppose if you haven't ever seen live Speedway then your judgment could be wrong so will forgive Gater If the rumoured limit was higher then I would have Shanes back every time. But the rumoured limit is 41 to 42 points per team. We will have Woryna at reserve therefore we are already strong at reserve. It doesn't look like we will get a No.1 therefore we need to have a solid top 5 and if we are using 7.62 points at reserve then the top 5 isn't going to be that strong. I would rather use the extra 0.95 points on a top 5 rider instead of a reserve who will only get 3 rides a meeting most weeks and wont achieve his average on the road 8 times out of 10. Lets say Ellis does a U-Turn on wanting a return to Swindon. We could get rid of Newman for Ellis in the 1-5. That's the difference and you know Ellis can cut it in the 1-5 whilst Newman cant. Or Andersen 7.75 goes and we can get a rider up to 8.70 a lot of difference. Edited November 7, 2017 by Gater1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted November 8, 2017 Can’t believe any Poole fan wouldn’t want CH back in the team, especially on that ridiculously low average. A number one riding as 2nd or third heat leader! Sure he had a bad season in 2017 but Poole is his home and he is far better than his recent form has shown. Would be very pleased if he returned to back up our number one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many times have people said "he better than that" the averages don't lie a big percentage of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasn't been a no1 for a couple of seasons though! He'd be okay if he has put his personal stuff aside while he's racing! He needs to be more focused. I take it this means Jack is back too then. I hope Nurofen are sponsoring next year!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
