Essex 67 Posted December 3, 2022 All these people who seem to be in know who is or isn't going where are you just guessing of Do you really have contacts and are Glasgow " sniffing around " if these chaps the Aussie 2 are not going to Poole because of a better offer then good riddance and enjoy winning not much to a good chance of winning something at Poole but they may well not do our league so all hypothetical.

Essex 67 Posted December 4, 2022 I reckon and I don't know but I would have thought Poole would pay a decent wage packet and with that comes with a good chance of winning trophies and you may earn a few more £'s at somewhere else in our league and win f*** a** I suppose you would have to ask the riders what they would rather do but I reckon they would rather be in a winning team than not but who knows maybe you're right but having played sport all my life when you win its better than losing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your reply is bang on, the riders need to make a living and even an extra £10 a point can make a massive difference over a season they also have to take travel time to their home track into consideration for example if a rider lived in Doncaster, rode for Sheffield in the PL and Scunthorpe in the Championship he gets to spend a lot more time with his family than if he rode for say Ipswich and Glasgow it also means fewer nights in hotels and less diesel in his van. Above all riders need to be happy on a home track that they ride well with a good promotion who will back them if their form drops. Its a dangerous sport with a short career and when the time comes to hang up the kevlars what matters most is how much money is in the bank not how many trophies are on the mantlepiece 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good pay which is delivered on time is all they are really bothered about, as well as help with digs/a workshop and transport for those without a set up in the UK already. Trophies are just a bonus, although going deep into competitions obviously means more meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only once he knew a member of the old Bournemouth promotion was going to be involved at Plymouth did he backtrack on his decision & move to Poole, luckily for him.
