Correct spot on. Swindon have decided to go with Morris and it could purely be that finances decided it. To many people trying again to condemn Chapman. The 1 over the 8 rule will work fine

Not 100% accurate. Mark wanted what he though he should be paid in line with other world champions. He told Norrie what he wanted. Norrie told Ford who then went straight to TR. Mark wanted to ride for Poole but Poole wouldnt budge and went for TR and paid more than Mark wanted. Anyway back to Swindon and i would guess this is down to money and nothing else

Swindon will be fine. They have along with Pete Adams the best team manager and he got it very right last season when many expected him to fail. Have faith Swindon fans Mark Loram..................asked for more money and was then replaced by Rickardsson .........for more money than Mark wanted............admittedly TR was the better rider. Nobody knows what has happened behind the scenes.................who knows how much Doyle is asking for.

I do which leaves 2 points for the last rider, my maths is better than yours

so because they havent hit the dizzy heights they shouldnt be allowed in the top flight??? you speak total crap!!! Stuart Robson was British number two in 2001 finishing ahead of Dugard, Havvy, Nicholls, Stoney, Louis, Wilson, Smith, Rico, Norris and Barker. Yes he isnt as good as he was so in your mind he should be thrown out of the league for a young foreigner!!! You are talking total total rubbish

Is that the same Scunthorpe side that have signed 5 riders and have only 7.54 left for 2 riders?

you brought it up! Did the other 12 riders refuse to race? No, including serial moaner KK Chris Holder also had a great race with his brother as well. The track was rideable.

Yes i agree so stupid to ban riders for refusing to race when the other 12 were happy to do so

And the season before. Poole have dominated the elite league bit like Man Utd did the premier league.......but as good as Man United are they arent top dog anymore and neither are Poole, thats the way sport is

I know i get moaned at on Poole threads at times but i wasnt even having a dig lol Matt Ford believes announcing the riders over the close season one by one is the best way Other promoters do it differently and i dont believe either way is wrong lol

what?? there is no right or wrong way.....................you seem a very strange individual

no your not right its all about opinion. your promoter does it one way and many others do it another way. do you honestly think that by Ipswich announcing their 1-7 tomorrow will have an impact on the season??? get in the real world. Ipswich are promoting the club non stop at the moment in conjunction with the football team. The riders are going out on corporate events from now until the start of the season, going out meeting fans at various functions. Thats something that cant be done if you havent announced your riders. Makes no difference how you announce your side and Ipswich are getting the riders involved with the fans from now until March. There is no right or wrong way so get back in your box

I know! Never read so much tosh in my life

Wouldnt have either Holder near my club personally. Kurtz is a must and Hans would be good back up. Woryna and Shanes decent reserves. After that who knows

lol you crack me up. does it really matter one bit when the riders are announced. Personally i dont mind going into the new year knowing our 1-7 and not worrying like Poole fans are over who they might be getting. Do you think that come March our fans wont bother going because the team was announced in November lol

KING NEWMAN HEEPS MOUNTAIN HUME 2 spaces left. Nicholls, Schlein, Covatti will be one of them and then possibly a newbie

Newman , Przedpelski, Lambert and Perks all unlikely. You must have reached the half century of riders you have named. I guess if you say loads of names and 1 does sign you can say you were right

Poole and young Brits don't seem to go well together back to the time they got rid of Howarth. Saw Ellis progress and then dumped him for foreign riders. Newman cruelly dispensed with and a fans favourite. Why would any young Brit go there and improve only to be dumped?

Yes i agree could and should be a good signing especially if he starts at reserve.

Could also be the case with Woryna?

If we have a top 5 of: KING NICHOLLS/SCHLEIN COVATTI HEEPS NEWMAN Then i would be as bold to say that barring injuries (again) nobody will have a stronger top 5 in the league. Add in Danyon and i would even say we would be title favourites

Must have been about 30 riders mentioned as riding for Poole next season. Im surprised that so far only Woryna has been signed and Matt Ford has nobody else. Kurtz will be back im sure but the rest of the side could be anyones guess. Why would Leon Madsen ride over here as according to Poole Pirates Fanatic / BrandonBob / Gater1, Iversen wont ride because of the Danish league on a Wednesday?? Whats the difference with Madsen?

Agree totally. Can see Cook being similar to say Batchelor when he was in the series. The odd semi , maybe even one blinding GP like Batch had, but ultimately will end up near the bottom end. Hopefully im wrong

Showed Brady Kurtz the quickest way round Wimborne Road last time Wolves were there though. 15 from 5 completed rides isnt that bad

Surely you genuine Poole and speedway fans must find this Gater/Fanatic child a bit tedious
