He can mate, thats all that will be required of him. If the others come to the party and forfill there potential which i would like to think they will, then they can carry him. But like i said, im pleased he has another club/night it will make him a better rider, and we hopefully will see the benifit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure a lot of clubs will be in the same boat mate, every club will have to cut costs. Every club has to be accountable for there own actions, and if it means going back to Bibs and ditching kevlars then so be it. We still have a lot of loyal sponsors at Poole, and also a main team sponsor, so its not all that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall no race suits in Speedway's glory days ever holding it back. In fact riders were more easily identified on track in many cases... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted February 2, 2018 I just think they give a team much more of a united identity rather than looking like a bunch of waifs and strays. Certainly a must if the league is going to be on telly again this year. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted February 2, 2018 In Sweden they don’t have race suits. Well they have there own racesuit with just the team badge on the front. So does it really matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes the riders more identifiable. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also with so many guests last year you had half a team with official race suits and half not, which really did look amateurish.

Will be interesting to see how all the major sponsors fit onto the bib as surely the riders paying for their own suit have first choice where there sponsors sit before any club sponsors?

Good point mate, but i expect we will have extra banners made for the centre green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
