The statement got given the green light to go public by Cressida Dick who was also in attendance. Christmas presents were also handed out but nobody knew who brought them their gifts.

Bad enough get this rubbishe from clubs already in championship but when you're getting from Poole fans? Just take the bitter pill that is your own medicine n realise you're not the be all and end all of British speedway Any outsider reading Poole’s statement on Basso would think that there was a degree of loyalty within the sport. Loyalty should be a two way street. In speedway, riders can be signed up and moved on within weeks if they don’t hit the ground running. Nobody is more ruthless in doing this than Poole. Money talks, get used to it. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted December 11, 2021 I support Poole, but from a pure racing logistics perspective this move makes sense for Basso. Being a Dane he has to give DK priority, not only from a sponsors perspective but also to enable him to qualify for not only Individual DK honours but also for bigger international meetings like SEC/SGP. World U21 title etc. Secondly he will ride for Peterborough in Prem meaning that ties up lots of Mon/Thur not incl how attractive he may be as a guest for some teams with his low GSA as a first season in Prem rider. Wed will have obvious clashes with DK in lots of cases/ Riding for Glasgow gives him in effect Mon/Thur Prem, Glasgow Friday/odd Tue/Sunday Sat & Wed (Champ). Factor in Sun POL plus I heard rumour of maybe POL U24 meetings on Tue/Sat/Sun which would again make possible a Wed track in UK difficult. I think Basso will have a pretty full calendar in 2022 without a UK Wed racing track most weeks. Much as I hate to say it but riding a Fri track like Glasgow with owners with deep pockets helps him 2 fold (financially & logistically)even if it hurts for us to lose such a POTENTIAL talent. If the top 3 are as rumoured on this forum King/Worrall/Lawson then it kind of heads towards what some thought i.e both Ben & Zach Cook, Kemp and a 2 pointer (Ablitt or Mulford). Interesting as when Danny Ford was interviewed a while back in the Echo, I am sure he mentioned that we are now a feeder club for the top Prem and overseas young riders That could be the case with the 2 young Aussies at 24/22 - Kemp at 19 and the 2 x 2 pointers both 17 in March this year.

lisa-colette 6,028 Posted December 11, 2021 Okay, so if he is doing the Poland under 24 thing which is Tues, Sat and Sun, how is he doing away meetings for Glasgow against teams that ride on that night? Who has priority UK or Poland? Or is that a stupid question?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Money talks, get used to it. Exactly and that is what they did in 2021. They got rid of Keleher and as Mr Shovlar has said spent big to get in Basso. As I've said in another post the Ford's reaction is purely to get a story in the local press and to get the pirates sheep, sorry fans, to support them, and get angry with Glasgow rather than with them. They must be lining up another purchase of a chateau 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as the club survives idc. Edited December 11, 2021 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
