Game On 1,117 Posted July 21, 2017 And your point is? If EK starts scoring on the road then it will turn out to be a very good move. Will be good for 8-10 points at home every week riding as a second string. Just needs to improve a lot on the road. The point is you are a fool for quoting all those superstars that were queuing up to sign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted July 21, 2017 Whilst Eddie Kennett has always worn the pirates colours with pride, it shows how hard it has been when the top British club can't get a top liner to ride over here. Matt Ford had been talking to quite a few riders but all of them said no when it came to signing on the dotted line. I believe he had been waiting for one particular rider who would have been a very good replacement for KK. Waiting so much as to include KK in the Monday meeting at Wolves and the Wednesday side against Swindon, only to be let down at the eleventh hour. KK was clearly going through the motions since his return and could have been drummed out a couple of weeks ago and Kennett brought in. Pretty sure Matt has fallen back on Eddie as the deal with the other rider fell through. Just shows how difficult it is nowdays to get a top rider into the UK for a club. Welcome Eddie. I am sure you will give it 100% and after the "efforts" of KK the fans will accept that they just want to see a rider giving his all than one not even going through the motions. However, I have to be real and say here ends any chance of the title in 2017. We will make top four but not go any further. We just don't have a big hitter to combat the Doyles or Lindgrens and it would need a monumental effort to make the final this season. I wasn't aware BV were looking for a new rider - what with them being the top British club. As for signing EK - hahahahahahahahahahaha :rofl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealFiend 1,109 Posted July 21, 2017 The point is you are a fool for quoting all those superstars that were queuing up to sign. That's a lie. I never mentioned anything about Janowski signing for starters.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted July 21, 2017 So this 'dreadful' Poole 2017 side who have now got rid of a non-(low)scoring Number 1 and have now got a rider that is always keen to ride, are still sitting in a 4th place play-off position. Ok we may end up 5th if KL get themselves sorted, but such is life. There are clearly some cracks appearing at Wolves and Belle Vue - however temporary - so who knows what might happen. We will not end up 6th, 7th or 8th so whats not to like? Onwards and upwards (hopefully) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be good for 8-10 points at home every week riding as a second string. Just needs to improve a lot on the road. His away average was just over 3. Abysmal for any number one. Why do you think Rye sacked him? What makes you think he will suddenly start scoring well for Poole away??? There is probably more hope of KK getting a maximum at Monmore than Eddie starting to pile in the points away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hodgy 976 Posted July 21, 2017 for us true Brits Nick Pedersen Vaclav Milik Linus Sundstrom Antonio Lindback Andreas Jonsson Jaroslaw Hampel Magic Janowski Just some of the names banded about on here....... and you get Edward Kennett lol Thought you would be pleased its a Brit. Or is that null and void when it's Poole? Still missing that big hitting No 1 needed to qualify and compete for the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur54 1,302 Posted July 21, 2017 that you were all throwing world stars names about like confetti and then you get Kennett. Just shows that nobody on here knew! His away average was just over 3 this season so how will he start scoring on the road!! Who are your heat leaders then until Kurtz gets back? Hans , Jack, Worrall?? Very weak. Please come back to me when Kennett starts scoring 8-10 at home lol Be back next Wednesday night around 9.30pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 976 Posted July 21, 2017 I think he was just finding it ironic, all the big names and they get Kennett... He didn't say he was displeased? I'm sure he is ecstatic with the signing. Nothing to do with being a Brit though. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
