When he has signed for Poole in the past he hasn't brought his own equipment over straight away like other riders. Same when he signed for Lynn first few weeks there he didn't have his own equipment. In 2013 his equipment and mechanic were here and ready to go for his first meeting. It might be of interest to note that many other riders insist on using Poole owned PJR prepared engines. I won’t list them, it’s too long but one of the engine serial numbers is PJR 1328.. Edited November 12, 2018 by Aviator Clarification Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lisa, the point I’m making is that you stated “trouble with THJ is he never brings his own equipment over”. That is absolutely not true as in 2013 he did.

Think your slightly wrong on the that front. Will come down to costs etc so expect a few surprises soon once the AGM is done and dusted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it's one league at Championship level these three would be heat leaders and still room for a number of up and coming new faces coming in and maybe a few returning riders from the past like Shanes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fixer2 28 Posted November 13, 2018 The Poole promoter doesn’t like British riders, except of course when the Aussie ones let him down and he needs helping out of the “Duang”. Very true... but that's assuming MF is still actively promoting, or if he is indeed going to distance himself (with his overseas venture)...maybe his new Co-promoter will be more "hands on"?

We had 2 last season, 3 if you count James. Perhaps you need to look at the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming there is a new Co-promoter as the anticipated news of a new one has still not been announced yet. Although maybe on hold pending AGM outcome ?? I also wonder how things are going for a new Club Sponsor as Volvo Poole ended their 2 year deal. Also does anyone know what this reported new Biz venture Matt eluded to ?? Have seen nothing on Social media sites or the BSF from anyone commenting on what it is. All I saw was a release from Middlo in which he said Matt could still retain the Promoter roll from abroad while doing the new venture, and could if required fly in for meetings like riders do as he won't be so far away ??. That indicated to me maybe based in Europe ?? and doing what I wonder ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So did I, but it could have been the way the original press release was put out. It was Middlo's comment (just my luck can't find the article) that made me think it was probably Europe and if so what kind of new Biz Venture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your talking about the guest situation then you cannot lay the blame at said clubs promotions door, you lay it at the powers that be's door. Now this is the Poole 2019 thread so let us talk about that. Grow up ... I'm concerned about the very future of British speedway , nothing to do with Belle Vue or Poole Edited November 13, 2018 by WestGorton1884 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James went through the revolving door far too quickly and was only selected because his average was convenient at the beginning of the season. The promoter only signed Bomber when Noddy finally got his act together and told the truth about his work permit!!! Was Harris his first choice, no. Was Holder his first choice, yes. Would Shane’s have been his first choice if there had been a young Aussie on the same average as Shanes, no.. Get my drift, hope so. If not, I’ll make it easy for you, the Poole promoter will always go with a foreign (preferably Aussie) rider before a Brit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
