The above is part of Ford's website statement, so does that mean Harris is signed on 28 day contract? No. Linus rejected that proposal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few people have said that Harris could have replaced Josh or Richie instead of Linus and I said it would be harsh on Richie as he has already been sacked by another club recently.

Rob Dyer 116 Posted July 12, 2018 When is the transfer deadline these days and what are the regulations relating to it? Did I read somewhere it was moved from 31 August to 31 July? If so, time running out for any team planning changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's July now and that's the month when he usually manages to at last sort out the set ups on his bikes so Poole have signed him at the best time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s what I thought but someone corrected me on another thread and it’s mid August - I think it’s around the 12th. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,055 Posted July 13, 2018 Linus obviously feels a reduction in his schedule will help him rediscover his form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A member of the committee deemed it not right or would help Somerset a bit too much more like. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some think the sport is run for Poole and whatever Matt Ford wants he gets which is clearly not the case. Ouch thinks he can troll the Poole thread with lies hoping some will believe his anti Poole rhetoric. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on Starman what do you expect opposing fans to say on a speedway forum, Poole change riders more often than banks change money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colin wood 249 Posted July 13, 2018 It's quite sad to see Poole resort to sacking riders left ,right and centre .There is no loyalty in speedway now.Desperate measures to try and win a seven team league.The sport really is struggling.Harris will be cheaper as Ford won't be paying out air fares etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
