I am sure if Matt Ford doesn't want them in Poole in 2019 he will agree to loan them to ?? for a respectable loan fee but probably not nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the rider is not used by Poole he can decide where he rides, not Matt. Matt does not "own" the riders, they are self employed who contract to ride for a club.

Ended up at Eastbourne or Lakeside instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He would have been living in Poole at the time so distance wise Oxford, Eastbourne, Lakeside not much in it. So doubt he was massively bothered as long as he had a team place somewhere!

Panther1997 223 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Talking of Bacon, he guested for Wolves back end of last year and did quite well, scores of 4+1(4), 6+2 (4), 3+2 (4), does that not give him an average of 5.5 GSA & 6 CMA? Grondal last rode in the Premiership for Swindon, did he not average 3.5 and get dropped? Why would you chose Grondal over Bacon?

Thanks Neil, I was mearly just stating how in my opinion, Bacon deserves a chance ahead of Grondal! And I didnt rate Bacon at the start of last year but his improvement is going to be hard to ignore.

He had the cheek to ride for Swindon again - all water under the bridge and different players now. He isn’t perfect but he did a good job at Swindon last season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well said sir. Perhaps he'll twig next that if someone quotes something, despite ignore, one still has to suffer the drivel. Clearly opening a post out of curiosity and posting a reply was a mistake not to be repeated, apologies to those looking in for Panthers chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoever rides has to be the decision of the management team at the club. Chapman can't have an input at 3 clubs. Chapman added: “Everything stays the same at Ipswich and Peterborough with their management continuing to run the clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
