arnieg 3,693 Posted November 30, 2022 Zische has ridden no DSL matches as far as I can see. I am pretty sure his Division One matches for Outrup won't count. So I'm expecting a 4.00 assessment if he comes over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am very disappointed Danny won't be back next season and it isn't about the numbers game, they obviously prefer other riders,, probably Steve Worrall, I would prefer Danny king every day of the week. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was very hit and miss, but capable of beating almost anyone in this league on his day. Great signing for his average I’d say. I also loved how passionate he was - really celebrated every time he won a race. It clearly meant a lot to him each time.

So am i,thought he was an excellent captain and a very decent bloke not that Steve Worrall isn't but must be a reason Danny was let go as they are both as good as each other on the track and probably on the same money.Maybe money was the deciding factor we'll never know or maybe some scribes on here who seem to be well informed,someone can't remember who said Danny was going to I think Redcar a few pages ago or then Birmingham will give us the answer still rest assured the Ford's will put together a top team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoring wise his away performance was below both Steve and Richie. With the reduction in points one had to go and they have decided Danny wasn’t who they wanted.

That seems a good theory why he was let go it's away you need your big guns scoring as at home your second string and reserves can be the difference thanks for that info.

Glasgow even tried to buy most of the previous seasons Poole team but failed miserably. There’s much more to it than just putting together a decent looking side. Last season proved it. When it came down to the playoffs and end of season action no one else was even close. The bad news for the rest is that in 2023, it’s all going to be so familiar with Pirates romping it when it matters. Sad to see Danny King move on. Served us very well in his time with us. He must be gutted but with the low points limit we could never keep all three heat leaders. Good luck to him with his future club. Oxford's team selection have shown Poole COULD have kept their top 3. But must have decided to go with more strength in depth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,139 Posted December 1, 2022 Have to disagree with the headline "Numbers force Danny to move on" Poole had to drop ONE of their top 6, they weren't "forced" to release King, they chose to realise King. But articles obviously get more views with "sensational" headlines! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
