I'll take that apology now thanks Gavan!! Doesn't sound happy (except happlily burning his BV bridges). Rumours were circulating that his demands were high and made the club have 2nd thoughts. Probably going to have to take whatever gets offered now (brace for moaning piece in the star around June). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted December 6, 2018 How about Steffan Nielsen as possible second reserve on 3.67 IF Covatti is senior reserve at 4.70 - Total reserves 8.37 which is 2.27 lower than our reserves finishing GSA for 2018. A good chunk of what we need to save for 2019,but not arguably as strong as our finishing reserves for last season. That's assuming Nielsen can stay away from injury. Many were impressed when he came in for his stint prior to injury last season, and perhaps impressed enough to be invited back ?? Scunthorpe ride Fri and other Champ teams ride Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun so no fixture clashes. Also won't cost a Kings ransom one would assume, such as flying in a foreigner. Just a thought. Still wondering if any reasonably large big name in the frame bearing in mind the rumour posted on Poole Forum by one party today that maybe Jack Holder not signing ??

Jake Allen is on less than Covatti, meaning Nico would still be senior reserve.. But you can't have those 2 at reserve, in the interest of the sport To strong..

I would love Stefan to return but I would have thought Swindon would have first refusal and they would be mad not to get him back on his current average.

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted December 6, 2018 If Nielsen is Swindon bound then maybe it is Jake Allen. Higher av at 4.56 but MAYBE better potential and would give stronger pairing. Maybe also makes sense if May/Ford already sorted out fixing up some of the Somerset team for 2019 fairly early as they knew in advance they would be dropping to Champ. Was said on here after last night that Matt already had his 7 sorted and just waiting some contracts back (plus one who wants unreasonable terms). Would make a lot of sense getting 3 of them in Covatti/Allen and Holder Jr. Maybe all 3 were sorted (sub contract signing) some time ago as well known Matt tries to finalise things well in advance. Perhaps him and May had talks way before now knowing they were dropping down. I know Somerset had Doyle but easy to forget how well they did all season as a team and only just (and some would say unluckily) came up short. Still Won the KO Cup though despite just missing the Prem Final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolebolton 464 Posted December 6, 2018 Just more reference Covatti. And Yes, this is the champ stats but I think thats more of a Last season in champ he scored in 2 meetings at pboro he got 15 +2= so 7.50 a meeting. At Ipswitch, he was averaging 7.09 a points. Might help on our away visits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted December 6, 2018 No way I can see Cook at Poole. This all seems to have blown up in the last days and only today has it really been confirmed he won't be riding there. His latest tweet only 36 mins ago to confirm it. He seems genuinely upset the way he has been treated. If as mentioned Matt already had his 7 sorted for a while then one would expect Cook not to have been part of that plan. Plus I doubt anyone could have forseen him riding anywhere but BV as he has that club running through his veins. Could all be smoke and mirrors of course but from his tone he seems genuinely upset as is one of his main sponsors who have also gone on to their twitter page about it in the last 40 mins or so.
