Pinny 2,536 Posted December 23, 2021 Poole over the years have offered riders way more than anyone else to get them so its a bit of karma seeing one of their riders head elsewhere for more money! Reading some of their fans meltdowns on here has been quality. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just how I worked it out myself. Could be way off? That’s not very good maths 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought that a smooth wide track where you can race hard for 4 laps would have also been part of his thinking. But yes totally agree with your sentiments re-some Poole fans.

Poole is a smooth track these days that you can race hard for four laps. I am not one of the fans who is annoyed or upset by Basso going, can't say I am not disappointed because he is a never give up entertainer who Glasgow fans will love. Good luck to him and Glasgow, it should be a great season for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even if you do the two digits after, it is 47 and anything under 50 is rounded down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reading some of their fans meltdowns on here has been quality. Not always, when Poole signed Leigh Adams, BV offered him more money but he didn't choose them. But that may have been more of a geographical issue. Not all riders just go for the money, I would have thought the full package a club can offer is better for them. I like it when Jaizer bites to SS as I learn more about Glasgow as I don't know much about the club owners and everything they put into the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't sign for Poole just for the money, the club has that winning mentality, hence the bolging trophy cabinet, that's why they choose Poole, plus guaranteed of being paid on time Edited December 23, 2021 by Arthur54 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leigh Adams would have signed for Poole over Belle Vue because at the time Neil Street was the Poole team manager. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
