WHY pay for a rider you can get for nothing?

Yes that is the case if they ride for their parent club Poole. 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.

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.

Oh I don't know he blocked Davey Watt from going on loan to Oxford at the last min one year. Ended up at Eastbourne or Lakeside instead.

Only because either the rider had signed a lifetime contract to be owned by Poole, unlikely, or did not have the backbone to face up to Matt.

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!

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?

Guest appearances don’t count towards averages.

What would remain points limit wise if Bachelor, K Bjerre, BWD & Nicholls began the Panthers team building process?

I would be amazed if Bratchelor ever had the cheek to ride for Boro again ...

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.

What makes you think that people want to read your drivel when the forum is for people to chat about Peterborough speedway?

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.

It's the same reason I don't think you'll have Jack Holder either

That's where it gets messy. 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.
