The strong reserve hasn't worked out, and our engine room has been shocking. I don't think you could of expected that. Klindt 7.39 down to 4.57 ( his average so far this season) and TJ 6.35 down to 4.87 this season. Jason Edwards has a better away average than TJ at 3.75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure who does the 'signings' in the winter, prob a joint thing. @Skidder1 will know! Matt still owns the Poole club. He does the pre-season deals from his extensive contacts book - always putting together with Danny at least 3 potential line-ups depending on points limit and cost! - and as he stated in interview on Wednesday, he speaks to Danny every day. (Matt also confirmed he managed to get Artem to Steve Worrall's Testimonial next Wednesday, as Artem's manager 'owed him a favour') Danny leads with most of the club sponsorships/advertising and all the day-to-day, week-to-week stuff, including being on the BSPL Board of Directors with Messrs, Godfrey, Bates and Louis!. Danny is too involved in all the matchday stuff to also take on the Team Manager role when Middlo is away so as Matt explained, he flew in from France to Bournemouth at 4.30pm on Wednesday and was due to catch a flight from Stansted back to France at 6.30am on Thursday!! Now that is a 'flying visit'! Also as Matt explained the Chateau is a lot more hard work than first imagined and although very successful with big American Tour Operators committed, Matt may look for something a 'little easier' in 2 years time or so!!!

Speedball 566 Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Can’t see Tungate at Lynn as he’s absolutely woeful at the AFA. That said, he’d fit right in with the current middle order Edited June 9, 2023 by Speedball 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he's fully fit when he comes back. See how he goes in the Champ first wouldn't be a bad idea imho. Edited June 11, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This makes me think that change was planned, probably someone from the continent and they couldn't get it over the line in time imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See how he goes in the Champ first wouldn't be a bad idea imho. I am sure that Alex said a new face would be in the team at Belle Vue, and that Pickering was also coming back sometime this week. It wouldn’t have hurt Alex to tell us why the team change hasn’t happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you was planning on getting the pboro cast off if they got tungate deal sorted but I don’t think that’s going to happen anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,662 Posted June 11, 2023 Maybe if there was to be a double change they may have had to get Pickering in first to allow a little extra average wise to fit in the new rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
