Which very similar to Championship speedway. I assume that if he’s committed to Danish league, that rules him out of UK Wednesday night tracks, hence him not riding for Birmingham, and if he gets a regular team place in Poland, that rules him out of CL altogether. Hopefully the new Rzeszow promotion will pay its riders on time unlike the last one. Actually, that sounds very similar to some Championship teams 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted November 20, 2019 This is a list of riders in the lower league last season who have ridden for Poole or are an asset NBJ Ellis Shanes Newman Kennett Wells Starke Nicholls R. Worrall THJ Wright (asset) Nielsen Howarth Harris Covatti I may have missed some so apologies 11 Brits there that have at one time been pushed aside Poole should be able to entice some of those named riders above if they had been treated properly And out of that list the only 2 i could see signing for Poole are Nielsen and Covatti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Covatti even doing UK in 2020? With that logic you should maybe try Promoting or Team Managing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolebolton 464 Posted November 20, 2019 I think the one thing all Poole Fans trust is the ability to build solid teams. When I last spoke to him he said “ we aren’t dropping a league to make up the numbers, I want to win.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,031 Posted November 20, 2019 That's true, I'm sure the team will be a decent one. They will really need to promote to a younger audience now though, as the elder ones are having trouble accepting the change. I hope people at least give it a chance.
