The only way to win is to build a team with riders who are likely to exceed their average. There is no room for kisses and cuddles. If you want loyalty then you'll have to change the rules (or accept losing on a regular basis). So you would rather riders change clubs willy nilly every year is that right? believe it or not not everything is about winning.Poole need to firstly get there track in order there has been poor racing there generally for a few years now and at times the track has been a disgrace.Swindon for me for the season ahead have nearly stuck to the same riders as last year which i find refreshing if we finish bottom it would not bother me being entertained is more important to me than winning.The days of riders being attached to clubs now are long gone and that is a crying shame Poole for example had Lewis,Middlo,Smith, ect) in yesteryear now riders are moving clubs for fun.

No, I would rather they stayed at their clubs, but the rules don't allow a successful team to keep their riders. And I'm afraid you're wrong... it is all about winning! It's a competition! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back to Poole should be announced tomorrow. Otherwise Hans wouldn't have been allowed to sign for Leicester as he would have been in our 1-7 if no Holder.

stevebrum 6,820 Posted January 8, 2018 3 hours ago, BurntFaceMan said: The system rarely allows for both loyalty and success. Don't blame the player for a flaw in the game. Try telling that to Fast Freddie, Jacob and Woffy who have only ever ridden top flight for their parent club. Plenty of clubs are loyal to riders. The club's who aren't can't bleat if riders don't put them first either. 1 hour ago, Arthur Fry said: Poole are know different to any other club, rye house dumped Kennett last season, Wolverhampton dumped kynacorpi ( not sure how you spell it) a couple of season's ago Fast Freddie has spent his whole career at Wolves 12 years, with a year out of British speedway. Thorssell has ridden his whole top flight career with Wolves. 1 hour ago, Matt Ford Fan said: Tried to buy Ellis on a full transfer. Stuck by Newman for a number of years not just 1 or 2. And released several times as well during a season. Poole asset Perks is set to retire because he can't get a team place. Another casualty of the Poole loyalty system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't expect loyalty in return however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) It’s all about winning. It’s a competition. Let other clubs stick to the same old riders and let Poole continue to be the most successful club in the last 15 years.
