He certainly enjoyed himself this season scoring well and also made some favourable compliments about the track surface and prep. Maybe it wasn't the track it was just the club as a whole he didn't like. Most riders seem to score well at Plymouth this season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought their team building was good - Howarth, Richie, Barker, Gilkes and Starke were a decent 1-5 but i believe they brought in Ben Trigger far too soon and Jake Turner turned out to be a dreadful acquisition. Starke was not committed to the cause, injuries hit Barker and Dan and too much was placed upon Kyle's shoulders. Just really tough luck at the end of the day but i thought Pearson was a good late signing for the Gladiators going into next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree, injuries, bad luck and a joke of a fixture list didn't help, but team just didn't click or get any momentum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,035 Posted September 17, 2023 Think you'll find the first mention of Plymouth was by Mike then you and then me. Mentioning Zach being in the Poole team next year does seem to set it off though, so my bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I am saying is there is nothing to pull back as of right now it is 45-45 going for the BP on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok...so you're being 'literal' My reference to 'pull back' (easy tiger...) is from a view point that I think that Poole will be back as favourites after their trip to BP! So, it's more of a performance 'pull-back', as opposed to the score-line one! Apologies for the lack of clarity..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
