Nothing to do with knowledge of other teams. Darcy made it very clear - publicly- that his protégé would be Workington-bound when he came over., due to Tate's style and Aussie experience suiting the Worky track better. Also nothing to do with Brennan becoming unexpectedly available after his rumoured absence from Championship ship racing in 2024. Neither were in Poole's original 1-7!

Not at all. 100% correct. Agreement made in late August.

Where does it say he'll be at 2? Just an assumption by some at this stage. However if he is a good starter then he could be 'protected' by the Rocketman (bonus king)?

Nothing to do with points limit. Darcy, Tate and Worky had a verbal agreement that Tate would join Worky as and when the opportunity arose. Hence Poole not including him in any of their possible line-ups! Simples.

Many of us knew Tate had been recommended to Worky when Darcy was here in the summer so his signing for you came as no surprise even if some were still hopefull. I'm sure you'll enjoy his racing.

'Thomsen was one of the top scorers in this season's Danish 2nd Division' is the quote from Danny Ford in the press article.

Thomsen!

This seasons scores in the Danish 2nd division would seem to suggest otherwise. He seems to have.matured and improved!

At least we have a 1-7 to get behind. The amount of time you spend on a Poole topic suggests you've given up trying to save your own?

If Nathan's real 3.00 average is actually a rounded-up 2.99 then the 2.5% reduction makes 2.92 correct.

How many of those scores were on never-seen-before away tracks in 2019?

OK, so no Joe T then, but I think that makes the team weaker with Zach as 3rd heat leader. I think there is more improvement in Zach and Toby as 2nd strings than Anders and Kyle. Just my opinion.

I hear you. So what would your 1-7 be?

So you wanted Anders, Kyle and Joe in a 38 point team? Who else would you include with that limit?

Joe T wasn't an option as he'd agreed to join Plymouth with his brother. Tobias' recent scores in the Danish 2nd tier show he has improved a lot. The Fords have a great record of putting together teams of riders that can all improve their averages. If Rowe and Newman were included as 2nd strings with Zach Cook as 3rd heat leader then I'm not sure the improvement would be there?!

Jye Etheridge for Berwick.

Howarth and Ablitt

Use 'em for a season then sell 'em to Glasgow! BTW Lewy, Covati has signed up in Denmark!

Matt's worked his magic again. According to FB its Nicolai Klindt in disguise!!

All day?? Every day since our sponsors evening!!!!

Rode for Brummies for a few meetings back in 2019. 29 years old now! Solid on a 4 point average.

Darcy recommended Workington to Tate as he thought the track shape and size would suit Tate's riding style better. Fair enough.

Yes apologies. I got my years wrong. In 2021 he was spannering for the Holders who got him regular laps at Torun before Poole used him as a guest to help win all those trophies!

How many senior Polish meetings has Tate done? Is 'none' the answer? NB. When Zach Cook joined Plymouth in 2021 he was on a 4.00 and was doing the Polish U.23s on a number of Tuesdays !! Also its been mentioned that Darcy Ward (when he was over here in the summer) recommended a new young Aussie to Worky - so the assumption has been that it could be Tate?!

Fixtures out Tuesday 8am.
