Also first meeting he got 1 point after falling in 3 rides. But imagine he will Be on for 10 points most meetings at home. https://poole-speedway.com/fixtures-results/view/Poole-Pirates-v-Ipswich-Witches-23-09-19 https://poole-speedway.com/fixtures-results/view/poole-pirates-v-ipswich-witches-16-09-19 https://poole-speedway.com/fixtures-results/view/poole-pirates-v-ipswich-witches-09-05-19 I stand by my earlier statement. Just going by last season he wasn't that great. Yes I have missed out 1 meeting above where he got 13, however overall at Poole he was not overly impressive and riding at No. 5 in a watered down Premier league he should've done better. I like Danny, but his home form (not away) next season is a minor concern for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But all the clubs part of the Pearson media tree, Wolves, Swindon, Leicester, Sheffield, Somerset, Kent, Lynn, Pboro have awful social media. Yeah there's definitely a common denominator with them all. It's frustrating when one tweet, regardless of origin, can be seen by hundreds, thousands and even millions of people and yet there seems little effort to put any effort in. I happened to look at a Championship club's Twitter the other night, they follow about 150 people, most of which are other speedway clubs/accounts - why aren't they getting out there following journalists/media etc etc and spreading their name? Baffling. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, can't agree with your suggestion of their team strength! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poole keith 911 Posted December 5, 2019 5 hours ago, JCookie said: The thing is it doesn't really take a lot to put decent stuff together (taking nothing away from those who do). I used to mess around on photoshop when I was 16/17 and the stuff that came out was better than most team's social medias. Never really understood why clubs don't just get a local University student to do some volunteer work, put a few photos/videos together and make some content, everyone's a winner. quite right jc several local non league teams have had a student from bournemouth uni media course do all such work and have done for several years,believe it can be incorporated into their course,as one graduates a new student takes over, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ASpeedwayfan 30 Posted December 6, 2019 1. Danny king 8.45 2. Stefan Nielsen 4.40 3. Steve Worrall 7.39 4. 5. (Adam ellis 7.8)?? 6. 7. =28.04 Leaves 12.96 And we know the reserves are lower than Stefans average as we know hes not starting at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be the makings of a good side but i think there are stronger teams so far and yes i know this isnt complete King and Worrall unlikely to improve their averages and Nielsen is injury prone and a risk in the top 5. Ellis will be a great signing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, that would be the side to beat if they sign Ellis. Poole could have a 6.96 rider and 4 and 2 at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
