I didn't say they didn't have phones etc and i thought wrongly that he was moving father away than France. I do think that Danny will struggle with the media spotlight which is probably another reason why the decision was taken to drop a league. That's my opinion not based on any facts or knowledge of how Poole Speedway works. As you say MF was still the main decision maker, with that in mind, he made some bad team decisions last season which is why i thought he had taken his eye of the ball. Don't get me wrong, Matt certainly took his eye off the ball for a time but the decision not to replace Richie sooner was purely down to averages, availability and finance!!

As ive said the worst thing that happened for Poole was when they decided to bring in Jonasson and move Covatti to number 2. Nico was able to take 7 rides if needed but when moving to number 2 could only have 4 and Jonasson was never going to be able to replicate Covattis scores from reserve If Poole had of kept r/r at 2 im sure they would have at least beaten Ipswich...........poor management bringing in Jonasson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but NBJ collapsed in the pits and was expected to be out for quite a while after a stomach op!! As it turned out, the specialists back in Denmark decided an op was not necessary and he was declared fit enough to ride again, by which time Poole had made the switch. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Seems a very hasty decision and getting in Wells! and then getting notorious underachiever THJ in to replace Worrall!! as I said at the time we should have got someone on a similar average to Worrall like Josh Auty which would have kept Covatti at reserve.

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted November 4, 2019 Am a bit surprised at the lack of exchanges on the Poole 2020 Champ page. Last post was Wed last week. I appreciate Poole have not been accepted yet into the Champ but the Ford's have made it clear they can't run in Prem. I won't put my comments on Poole 2020 Champ team on this page as this Forum is for Prem Clubs which Poole won't be. I will put them on the appropriate page for the League we will be in (assuming they are accepted into the league that is). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fully agree with you Steve0. His form for Berwick was at best average. Which is exactly where he is at. Feel sorry for any team in either division who think they are signing a bargain rider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
