Apart from the apparent fact that Basso may have too many clashes with his Danish team to ride for Poole next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 11, 2021 Won’t make a scrap of difference. But will bring a decent amount of Oxford fans to Poole when they are not racing at home that Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, there were a few Oxford fans at Poole most weeks this season, so should generate biggest crowd for regular league meetings at both tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant build a title challenging 1-7 when using up 18.02 on 2 riders. It's borderline Plymouth from this year when including both King & Worrall. Denmark are running a full fixture list next season so Basso signing for Poole is unlikely at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted November 11, 2021 Had a superb evening with fellow Poole sponsors, friends, volunteers, Promoters, Team Manager and 2 riders at the local curry house last night! No news to be announced yet - other than confirmation that on paper the preferred 1-7 for 2022 had now changed twice!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can win the title like that, top heavy teams have in the past like Poole 2003 when we had Adams and Rickardsson but you have to get the middle order riders right that are on false averages.
