Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 7, 2017 So Matt Ford confirms today (Echo and BBC Radio) another deal is done with terms agreed for the rider 'to switch to the south coast' for 2018! It will be the 3rd full signing of this year (after Klindt and Woryna), but as stated on the radio there are one or two minor things to sort out so 'its not the right time to make the announcement yet'!!

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted September 7, 2017 Thought he was Lakeside Asset? Maybe Matt is window dressing the Ellis news signing. Most Poole fans on the forum know he is being signed as an asset from Lakeside and indeed switching from Swindon to Poole would be a switch to the South Coast. Wouldn't be news to get the pulse racing if it is, as it was put out on the forum by those who had already heard rumours based on talks between Cook and Ford recently. We all know Matt Ford plays the media to gain maximum exposure to possible signings and this may well be another case of the same but with news already leaked on the forum. Could be wrong and perhaps a decent signing on its way in which more head scratching on who it might be. P.S: Not saying Ellis would be a bad signing as at reserve or swinging in and out of that position during the season is no bad move ONLY if its with another decent scoring reserve possibility after Woryna hopefully comes out after first BSPA GSA amended av end May/June period.

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted September 7, 2017 How can you sign 3 riders without the rules being confirmed yet?! Assets are not always in the team ;-) Would be interesting if it is someone like Robert Lambert as there have been noises floating around the forum that maybe he needs a change ?? Could be wide of the mark here but wouldn't put it past Matt Ford to tap into even more rising talent at Poole. Now that would be news to raise the pulse. True though. The points limit is critical. BUT - We all know the BSPA draft for next season is already on the table and unless there are many dissenters then chances are the promoters already know the expected points limit and what rules there may/may not be about number of Brits that have to be in each team. For sure they don't turn up (those that choose to attend) in Nov without the plans already being on the table. Chances are its between 42 & 45 but just a case of which of those figures.

Grachan 7,362 Posted September 7, 2017 Serious mind games being tried on by the Pirates at this time, bless 'em. If they are taking Ellis as an asset then it would be Swindon's fault for not snapping him up first, but this thing about signing riders without the riders even knowing about it seems a bit odd to me. Ford and Cook a bit out of order there - more so Cook, really, as the current holder of his registration, but surely the rider himself should be involved in discussions, which is why these little announcements seem like an attempt to unsettle Swindon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted September 7, 2017 Would love to see Robert Lambert riding for us but the signing is Adam Ellis and I don't have a problem with that at all. Ellis will be a great signing (Obviously him) now we need to get Newman as our second Brit for 2018. M. Janowski B. Kurtz C. Holder J. Holder A. Ellis K. Woryna K. Newman So Matt Ford confirms today (Echo and BBC Radio) another deal is done with terms agreed for the rider 'to switch to the south coast' for 2018!
