Ghosty 500 Posted December 28, 2018 1 hour ago, BLACKHEART said: Jake Allen is a reserve. The money has gone and it's not all because of not being able to offer Jake Allen a better deal. Matt would have signed Fredrik Jakobsen for 2019 if he had the money 1000%. Matt doesn't have the money therefore had to let Freddie go. None of this is Matt's fault. The sponsors have dropped out so cut backs have to be made. But some people on here don't like truth and the truth is Matt cant afford the riders he wants. Fredrik Jakobsen is gone because Matt cant afford to fly in his team. That is the only reason why he is gone. Jake Allen signed for Ipswich because they offered him a better deal but Matt wanted Jake Allen at Poole but couldn't offer him the same as Ipswich the same club who are struggling to put a team together. All this BS about NBJ. At the end of the day he is only here because Matt couldn't afford the rider/riders he wanted. Speedway fans don't like be told the truth. They like to pretend everything is wonderful when it's not. It would have not been good business for Somerset for Jake to ride for the Pirates! Jake is very popular with the Rebels supporters and is far better rider than some on here give him credit for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poole keith 909 Posted December 28, 2018 everybodys talking about team changes in the summer and how you immediately become championship winners but if the numbers dont fit your stuffed nothing to do with money,would imagine swindon and wolves would have loved to have made mid season changes this yr but had no chance.also wouldnt want to win a title again through benifiting from the closure of another club.anyway looking forward to another season with a team im happy with and will 100% support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing I don't get is why certain fans are pretending everything is fine and all of this normal because Poole never off the best wages. Cut backs means financial problems. Cut backs means you don't have the same budget as you once did. Cut backs means you cant get everything and everyone you want because it/they maybe out of your price range so you have to settle for something/someone else instead who/they will fit within your budget. Like I said earlier NBJ is only here because of the financial problems. Matt didn't want him. Just had to settle for him. That's the truth. NBJ is a good rider maybe Matt feels he is better value?.Also in the past maybe he has took chances financially he now feels those chances are to dangerous in this climate.I actually applaud what he is doing because he hopefully will ensure that Poole speedway goes on for years to come.Not all fans are fickle we do not all expect to WIN we go mainly because we want to see good racing and be entertained the sport has got away from that for years now.

Skidder1 7,632 Posted December 28, 2018 7 hours ago, BLACKHEART said: A sponsor needs to be found as that's the only way effective changes will be made in 2019. Cant afford Jakobsen at the start of the season so nothing will change during the season unless a sponsor can be found. Lets hope we don't get any injuries then!! You make it sound as though Poole only have one sponsor?! Nothing is further from the truth. As said before Matt is simply working to a revised budget at the moment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted December 28, 2018 1 hour ago, BLACKHEART said: Na. Wanted Jake Allen as the No.7 but he got offered more money by Ipswich so Matt ended up with NBJ. Every speedway fan moans about team changes. Why? because they want to win. Swindon fans didn't stop moaning last year about Bellego & J. Smith. Not all of us!!!! speedway is an ENTERTAINMENT and the sport has forgot that.Would i be happy if we won everyweek but every meeting was total dross no i wouldn't.When someone is paying 18 pound for essentially 15 minutes entertainment they want to enjoy there night and go away feeling good.There has to be winners/ losers of course but the entertainment aspect is certainly my first priority. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boffy 84 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Wonder what the Poole ownership stance will be regarding Andrew Tomlin (Meridian Lifts) comments on twitter.....Do they want to be associated with someone who is quite happy to openly state he would like to see Migrants drowned ? Just sink them,, once a few drowned they stop coming !! Edited December 28, 2018 by Boffy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
