Not ageist - just wondering if he's got a Championship winner mentality at his tender age? He's always been a bit 'hot and cold' on previous visits to Wimborne Road. I also don't want to be sexist so I won't mention anything about his wife either!!! (ps. I did say previously that Matt and Danny's initial 1-7 had changed at least twice due to 'the unexpected availability of riders'!)

Jaizer 2,863 Posted November 22, 2021 The son of God be under a lot of pressure if this move happens. Sounds like most Poole fans want brother Steve, couple average meetings get bit of grief from the terraces promotion under pressure to replace him. Seen it happen before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess he's changed his opinion on the tight tracks then!! That made me laugh I assume that was to do with the irregular shape of the first two bends compared to the opposite end if the track as much as the size. 41 minutes ago, Skidder1 said: How many title-winning teams has Lawson ridden for? He'll also be 36 in 2022!! I really don't think age matters any more in speedway, particularly in our leagues. P'boro proved that!

lbw 869 Posted November 22, 2021 Whoever wears the Skull & Crossbones will make them twice the rider they were before and we will Win everything again! Anyone fancy a cuppa & a slice of cake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 22, 2021 Must admit not a fan of greebo. Seems a strange signing if true. Would certainly keep Danny K and steve W over him. Unless he comes in to replace Rory S. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPEEDY69 1,258 Posted November 22, 2021 5 hours ago, Skidder1 said: So Richard Lawson released by Plymouth and replaced by Hans Andersen!! Didn't see that coming despite the rumours. I'd heard he was offered a better deal with Poole so chose to move, not 'released by Plymouth' in the way you've put it. Same result though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted November 22, 2021 Well with Hans going to Plymouth now. Sounds like the Lawson to Poole is true backing up King. Worrall to Oxford now or Scunthorpe? With the suggested team and Basso does return if fixtures can be planned it will mean Ben Cook out to give us some options for third HL. I would now go for a top 3 of Duggy, King & Lawson. Rumours on here Kemp has signed on a 3.55 average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
