I’m not saying Kurtz would be in my first 7, however, speedway is a numbers game and plenty to be shed from the final averages. At least 2 of the 5 will go, possibly 3, so we shouldn’t be ignoring riders that ride Blunsdon particularly well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo 12 Posted September 29, 2019 Poole have built there success on winning teams , crowd numbers and sponsorship . Have poole speedway ever been involved with the community .. building a wider involvement with the area it serves . look at Bournemouth football club , they have soccer schools , youth development . Ex players involved and whole range of activities . It's a suttle way of bringing attention to your sport , and sending out positive messages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No pressure on him with Doyley always gonna be a number 1. I would gladly take him. His average will only go way and he won't be lowering it for Poole.

Does he miss meetings? does not miss meetings or pull out with a mythical injury but is inconsistent in meetings and would no doubt want to ride in Poland if they had a meeting or practice on one of our race nights.

Skidder1 7,617 Posted September 29, 2019 Mark Lemon wants Kurtz at Belle Vue alongside Fricke. Somerset want him back there too. He's always lived at Middlo's but who knows. As for Poole's main sponsor the eagle-eyed amongst will have seen their logo reappear on the website and the programme cover as I gather monies have changed hands. Also with the advent ofEurosport money on the horizon i'm told the club is no longer proactively up for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm told a 5 year deal is on the table plus the possibility of some Polish sponsorship because of the Eurosport audience reach?!
