I don't know tbh, Lindback was mentioned on the Ipswich thread a few weeks back though. I'm just putting 2 and 2 together though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very weird how he's going to ride in Steve Worrall's testimonial when they barely know each other. Because he's a Poole asset..and what u said doesnt know him ...

Pauldoveyspeedway 144 Posted January 24, 2023 3 hours ago, TTT said: Me neither, We know for sure that 7 riders have put pen to paper now because we've heard that from the horses mouth as the saying goes. Therefore I honestly don't think Tomalin would be still be talking about play-offs if we were left way short of the points limit having to go with a 1-7 that nobody really wanted on the management side of things either. To me Tomalin's comments scream NKI, R. Worrall, Basso, Tungate, C. Holder, B. Cook & Jenkins. If so that isnt a bad team ..not so sure away tho ...Especially on the Technical tracks.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT has also mentioned on FB that we're not dealing with Dad's Army At the risk of sounding pedantic I would say that replacing more than half of the team ie 4 riders constitutes a rebuild personally.

Also liking social media posts saying that we've moved the Dads Army Legends on though which suggests Hans has gone too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomalin has gone public again today saying we must make the play-offs with the team we've put together and to me that doesn't sound like the 1-7 side that's 2.30 under the limit because everybody knows it's got no chance of even being in contention for a play-off spot (Wooden spoon guaranteed) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TINYS 292 Posted January 24, 2023 5 hours ago, TTT said: Have Lindback and Steve Worrall ever ridden in the same 1-7 because I cant recall that happening tbh? If they haven't then it's really odd that Lindback is riding in Steve's Testimonial imo. Could be down to Lindback wanting to get a few laps in on a British track ahead of the new Premiership season (Key word could) Could that be yet another rumour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that much of a left-field announcement really. The testimonial is a Poole 7 against Belle Vue 7 and Antonio was a very popular rider for the Pirates wasn't he?
