poolebolton

This deal is done. Poole have sold KK but there is something else holding it up! And it’s not either clubs fault

I guess Sundstrom getting announced tomorrow.

Very well written piece above!

Poole Press and Practice is in the evening this year because of TV camera crews if anyone was wondering. Great promotion for not only Poole but the Sports as a whole.

Both said they won’t do the UK. Kai is already doing 4 leagues. Won’t do another. ThJ might come across.

I think the league is stronger this year than last year. If you look at the riders that are now in most teams they are better across the board apart from Rye House(I really don't like what there doing with that club). But across the bored the league looks much better. With Poole, Leicester, Somerset all being better. A most other teams not actually getting worse. If you look at the bottom ends of most teams they are much stronger than last year. Just seeing what people think though. Comment below.

If you reduce the quality further you will get less fans. People want to see GP riders. Biggest thing in speedway in the UK is the GP on TV and people want to see those riders. Doyle vs Vaculik heat 1 is better than anything else.

It just seems shocking and I’m a bit embrassed for you as a club. How on earth are you meant to attract fans when the most entertaining rider is in the final 5 years of his career. Ive heard KK is being sold for the 10-15K region have no idea if that is correct? Anyone know? The social media is awful and he has failed to deliver on anything he spoke about. Your team is better than KL but it’s the most boring.

What do you want? People want more yet the crowds are poor then. You get 7 home meetings in Poland and that seems to work. Any more and we won’t be able to afford it.

Can Rye house fans answer something. Before christmas your promoter was on the Talk Speedway podcast talking about how he wants to make the sport better. But he seems useless. Rye house have awful social media presence. A team which doesn’t really excite many. I can see why he wanted GP riders shared. He can’t sign any. Im just a bit confused that someone who talked such game doesn’t actually seem to want to follow it up. Just want to know what Rye fans think?

http://www.poolepirates.co/ 1. Click team 2. Read Linus Sundstrom 3. Click and read about him.

He is on the Poole website. Pretty much a confirmation.

It’s done. Not quite sure what everyone is getting bothered about.

Happily. Woryna didn’t prove himself last time. And Matt S will struggle. I’ve said that on my predictions and on other occasions. Even Gavan agreed with what I said!

Well how do you know that Fricke is going to make the grade. You don’t. Just from what I’ve seen. I’m bored of you thinking Drodz is some world beater. He was the weak spot for Sparta last season.

From the polish speedway I watched. Drodz is not in the same league as Woryna. And never will be. Drodz has this season to prove himself in Poland otherwise Wiktor Lampart will come in for him. This is his season to prove he is a extraliga rider or he will most likely spend it in league 1. Which is no mean feet it is the 2/3 best league in the world.

Drodz is a good rider but let’s see what he can do when you aren’t riding with Drabik, Magic, Tai. He rode in a team where arguably 6 riders could be GP riders. Solid at home. Struggle away. Lets how he goes at the bouncy castle!!!

Sundstrom is on the website so i think it’s done. His rider profile is done and dusted so they are just waiting to announce. Look on the website.

Just not seen the improvement. Has been in the UK a lot longer than other young aussies and has not stepped up as much as I thought.

Lebedevs has been on a polish license for years so I cant see it changing.

He can't even though he is on a polish license. Fricke is starting at 8 and that's why its interesting to sign Gleb Chugnov. I know im a sparta fan. He can take all of Drodz rides apart from the first one.

I think that Max is now no longer a starting extraliga rider shows what people are thinking about him. Needs to deliver his potential.

Speedway does not face the same rules as football. It never will due to the nature of it. We have one league that is worth all the other league sports across Europe put together. We ever Poland says goes.

They have only announced 4. There is another 12 to go!

I look at it like this. BV= Solid side with a good number 1. However, need Tungate and Fricke to kick on a be 7/8 point riders. Drodz could be a signing of the year if he sorts it out away from home. Still the lack of home track advantage is a worry. Prediction 3rd Kings Lynn= Once again solid number 1, however the rest of the side is bang average with a number 2 heat leader that doesn't want to be there. Will be fighting out for the wooden spoon. Prediction 7th Leicester= Good team with 5 proven GB track riders and 2 riders who could come in and win the league for them. IS still a worry that 2 of top 4 riders have never ridden here before. If the lower end of the team can stay away from injury which I hope they can they should be a playoff team and could challenge for more. Prediction 2nd Poole= On paper the best team, someone have 3 number 1s from last season and one of them starts at 2nd string. Have Holder who doesn't really want to be there but that could change. (MATT Ford does have a pretty good replacement if that goes wrong). Still the poles have a lot to learn in the UK but if they sort it out then its the best team on paper. Also can the Poole track actually be OK for once?? Shanes to kick on as well. Prediction 1st Rye House= I don't like this team one bit. There promoter talked about getting a GP star and it hasn't happened. Cant see this team challenging for anything. Modern day lakeside. Prediction 8th Somerset= Will be in the Mix, have the best rider in the league and another young Aussie who could put a point and a half on his average. A lot depends on Doyle though and if he has a bad night cant see this team doing that much. An exciting team and will be there or there about. Prediction 5th Swindon= I like this team, have a solid top 5 and 1 good reserve. That is where this team is weak though. Can see even Zach W struggling to get more than a handful of points due to the reserves he will face. But still the top 5 will carry them and if batch gets back to his best then could really challenge again. Prediction 4th Wolves= Classic Wolves team, stick to what they know. They don't have that big number 1 and Jacob T still struggles away from home. I fear that Masters has hit his limit with nothing to prove he can go further. Hope he proves me wrong. Weak reserve pairing so lets we happens. The team which is hard to pin point what will happen with it. Prediction 6th
