Jaizer 2,864 Posted November 16, 2021 Steve is probably a victim of doing too well for Poole. Haven't checked but think went from 3rd heat leader for Poole to league no.1 over the season. Teams seen loathe to go with 2 9 pointers these days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted November 16, 2021 Got to be honest. Danny King is simply a much better rider than Steve Worrall and he's capable of doing a job at No.1 by maintaining his average. Steve Worrall even though he's popular among the Poole faithful wouldn't be able to maintain his average. Take into account the numerous amount of meetings Steve rode in the engine room with easier races than Danny. I'm interested to see how this play's out as I'm hearing one thing and Trackerman has heard another while the Polish press are reporting the Lawson story. Can't fit all 3 in so one has to go. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Work on the basis that Lawson has signed because that Polish story came out of nowhere and it's way too random for it to be fake news imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, let's for one minute say the Lawson thing is true which I'm hesitate to believe as it's come from Geoff! Why would Lawson break his contract with Plymouth, it makes zero sense to me. His previous tracks include Lakeside and Eastbourne so Plymouth a better fit track wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would Steve maintain that average? I don't know he's had couple up and down years. Hasn't been a consistent number 1 over the years. Lawson is a very good rider, very reliant on his gating though 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently @philtheace is saying it's because a sponsor has dropped out at Plymouth. Perhaps Richard is still scarred from the Eastbourne treatment this year to take any risks and would rather play it safe by being paid on time.

topaz325 1,859 Posted November 16, 2021 Look at it this way, riders get dropped during the season from clubs sometimes through no fault of there own because the numbers dont add up and have no other club to join, sometimes riders do not get paid by clubs, "IF" the story is true cannot really blame Richard Lawson, welcome to Speedway.

Lawson is still waiting for payment from Eastbourne Eagles - Ian Jordan who was involved at Plymouth also ; seems to have gone awol as Drew Kemp was quoted in Speedway Star saying no Eagles riders had any communication or answers from him. If rumour true Lawson has thought I not taking that risk again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
