Are so bitter about this situation if the roles were reversed do they think we are all so naive that they wouldn’t have done the same of course they would carry on everyone you are all cheering me up apart from the Poole fans. Yup, the club who brought a guy over from Australia and ditched him after what 4/5 weeks having a go at rider for lack of loyalty. Hypocrisy comes to mind 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like the rider has the right to do what he feels is right for his career without being called out as some kind of super villain. That's my point, it works both ways 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's my point, it works both ways Yes I agree, I said that in my previous post. Poole have a history of changing the team mid season to improve the team and I don't have a problem with that and we are all a bit disappointed Basso isn't back because he changed our season and is a nice guy.At the end of the day you have to look after yourself in Speedway. Good luck to him, you will definitely be entertained! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The deal with Plymouth was agreed between the clubs before the parting of the ways was announced - which was less to do with on-track scores and more to do with things off-track!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So no change there. However he proved that he could get around Armadale which Marcin didn't so another bonus for us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted December 22, 2021 6 hours ago, foreverblue said: I am not bitter just disappointed, Basso is good and would improve most teams so good luck to him and Glasgow. He is doing what is best for him which is what he should do. I hope he has a great season for Glasgow and Peterborough, he is a nice guy and deserves it. It is hard for teams that give riders a break then watch them disappear the following season. That’s the benefit teams have who own their own stadium, are a city based club and can pay one of best if not best rates in league. There are very few riders full time riders who are loyal to a club nowadays. It is their profession and they will go where the money is. It is not a long career. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No reason it’s there prerogative, but when a rider decides he wants away it becomes an issue, as Jaizer says hypocrisy at it’s finest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
