BurntFaceMan 413 Posted May 10, 2018 Smolinski wouldn't be a bad signing at all. Some people on this thread talk like Britain is still a worthy league that can do better than Smolinski Get real mate, we've only got the Aussies over here so they don't have to learn Polish.

How is trying something different in any way desperation? I know plenty of promoters would be content giving up and being pleased with a couple of hundred stragglers coming through the gates but we've actually got some class down in Poole and we don't give up at the first sign of trouble. That's easily fixed, just turn it upside down! Edited May 10, 2018 by lisa-colette 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,636 Posted May 11, 2018 Just to be clear the Smolinski talks are for short term cover for Kildermand who has finished his temporary cover for Chris Holder. Chris' situation is partially explained in the Speedy Star this week. (Apologies if this has already been stated!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that totally and the Holder issue , wether he was back to his best or not, has caused Poole problems this year. Kildemand shown in flashes what he can do but surely Poole fans cant be happy with Smolinski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is to do with his son etc., he has my greatest sympathy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all want Holder back but it seems he has messed up his chance of a visa for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 11, 2018 Kildemand has been absolute pants. Either missing the gate by a mile or chosing wrong lines or someone farts in the crowd and he falls off. Been abysmal cover for Holder. Smolinski is no answer but being used as a stop gap. You never know he might suprise us and put another rider out of a job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has been far from abysmal and dont forget he is riding in a poor team which will drain confidence to. Smolinski for Kildemand is quite simply shocking. He was awful in 2013 and he hardly getting better. If you think he is a better option than PK im astounded. The Holder issue is destroying Pooles season...............will he ever ride over here this year? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 11, 2018 Show me or anywhere where anyone thinks Smolinski is an improvement on Kildemand. You are making up rubbish again. How many times have you been told about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbobee 144 Posted May 11, 2018 If - as it seems - it is proving too difficult to get the 'top speedway riders' riding over here in this country despite moving to almost fixed day racing ( possibly because British Tracks cannot afford them ? ) ... then cannot be too far away from having one large League in GB surely ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
