Pretty sure the ink has dried on that contract. Can we keep the top 3 under the point limit? King, Worrall, Lawson, Ben & Zach, Complin and Ablitt?

Skidder1 7,637 Posted November 5, 2022 Just now, Pirates Of Poole said: To be fair Skidder it started well before heat 14! His body language wasn’t the best after his third ride and just got worse, no excuses for not being out on track with the boys after heat 12, before the heat 14 antics. Oh I agree. He's not a particular favourite of mine. I'm also not impressed with his warm up lap wheelies and then not delivering in the meeting!! As I said he needs to listen and learn from more experienced team members whether for Poole or Wolves! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on the final agreed points limit as well as the final team building rider averages, especially after the article in this week's Speedway Star?!

He has so much potential and natural talent, that’s the sad thing. Hope he can get his head in the right place for 2023. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do we think Ablitt would improve enough to be worthy of a team place next season.This season he hasn't won a race and would the Ford's build a 6 man team again as that's really what we had this season although it worked out well.

If the proposed limit is agreed I think a few 2.00 point riders are going to be needed, talking to another promoter recently and they would take Nathan if Poole don't use him.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 5, 2022 Re: Drew. He clearly has ability it’s there for all to see. But he seems held back by his temperament. He rarely smiles, seems withdrawn and if he has a bad first ride seems to sulk rather than geeing himself up. His head tells him he can win heat 14 and he normally does. But often it is too little too late. Last night he was in a great battle until the spokes were ripped out of his wheel. But it caused him a massive strop, enough to miss the celebrations. There’s no doubt the ability is there but being held back. Perhaps having a course with a sports psychologist might be the way for him to overcome the issues he seems to have during meetings. His temperament definitely looks to hold back the potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cough - Plymouth - May is there any new 2.00 coming up through the system that would be any better? I honestly don’t know. Maybe there is someone but would they score more than Nathan?

Nathan is a nice likeable lad and not scoring doesn’t seem to get him down. He is young and raw and it’s no surprise another promoter would take him on if we don’t.

flagrag 704 Posted November 5, 2022 Congratulations to Poole on winning last night they were the best team on the night at Kings Lynn I do believe that had the meeting been at Leicester on a usual grippy track then Leicester would have won on the night and been very close maybe 2 point sway as don’t think Lawson would go unbeaten with Morris and Worrall to beat him and although in good form both the Cook brothers wouldn’t have scored the same amount. On a similar note both Thompson twins would have scored more as well. Overall a good nights racing and a big shame more didn’t attend to watch it live but I do understand why with the early start and distance involved. It’s interesting reading Poole fans comments for next season and their views on Kemp and Ablitt, What would Poole fans views on replacing them two with the Thompson twins ?
