DC2 11,150 Posted December 9, 2017 I didn’t say it was bottom of the league, just that the touted BV, Rye House and perhaps Somerset if their team comes off, look stronger. Notice I am not mentioning Poole because the hoped for lineup is in doubt and we may find ourselves falling back on journeymen. Poole teams always have journeymen, because Matt’s just an opportunist, stealing cheap riders from other teams, hiring and firing throughout the season and having no regard for loyalty. Look at all your one season wonders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at all your one season wonders. What cheap riders are these then? If a rider isn't performing he deserves to be sacked as in any job. Loyalty is a two way street, most riders only think of their back pockets. Would Swindon have won last season if they hadn't changed the team?

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted December 10, 2017 Look at all our trophies.But your club now has to build to try to get those days back and unless a Drabik or a Dudek appears your club has alot of hard work ahead.Your main aim has to be to get your track back the track at times has been poor and we all know when prepared it can produce good racing.Poole used to be everyone's title favourite at the start of the season not anymore for me they have to get a big signing if not it could be a tough season ahead.But we all know with Ford he could pull something out of the hat we shall see interesting times ahead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted December 10, 2017 Look at all our trophies. Thats a decent team IMO. Morris & Batch will be strong in what 13 & 15. Ill put my money where my mouth is, will you? £50 to the Ben fund from the losing fan whos team finishes lower in the league. Not play offs, league position?! You game.

thecoombdog 2,362 Posted December 10, 2017 If that is the team then I can see Morris and Bellego dropping their averages as they will be hard to maintain. Change in middle of the season. Win the league again. Simple!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,686 Posted December 10, 2017 At least that team contains no ringers so you could hold your heads high. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YerRopes 3,008 Posted December 10, 2017 Look at all our trophies. Swindon are the 2017 Champions You seem to have forgotten that Swindon beat Poole 5 times and drew the other match this season You're living on past glories whilst boasting about Poole's new ringers.. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theblueboy 960 Posted December 10, 2017 Swindon are the 2017 Champions You seem to have forgotten that Swindon beat Poole 5 times and drew the other match this season You're living on past glories whilst boasting about Poole's new ringers.. Weve heard it all before. Pooles season went downhill so quickly last season David Vine was struggling to keep up. Klindt was supposedly the match winner last season. This season, potentially its Woryna. If thats what Poole are hanging their hat on for the season, theyll do well to get to 40 at the home of The Champions let alone 50...

All glories are in the past, I thought that would be obvious!! No one will sign a big name rider without the cost being sponsored or a decent TV deal agreed, so the knack of building a reasonable team will come down to using more 'journeymen' or so-called 'ringers' in the hope that they will all perform consistently and improve their average accordingly.
