Essex

I reckon he will be better than his uncle who was very entertaining and very funny and despite winning a medal and having the same broom for all his career only made it to road sweeper.

If Brum lost this sort of money and Glasgow even more and never won anything and yes I know you get nothing ££££ wise for winning and trophies don't matter to some On here but the promoters must have money to burn or this is an expensive plaything.What sort of business sense is this or is this the norm,can't believe the Ford's run Poole on that basis.

Who is the better of the twins

Kyle Howarth does and backs up my opinion that speedway is about winning trophies and not just about riders just doing a job to feed their family and earning money he said I want to win stuff I want trophies On my cv so all you people who have said trophies etc mean nothing and I got shot down by some on here for suggesting that was the case I rest my case.

And that's not what meant I was not being derogatory towards the owners purely my take On it that they invest in your team and must be disappointed not to win trophies or maybe they are not.Still you pay your money and take your choice.

Need to support home grown talent but we had Nathan Ablitt last season and he scored more points for Belle Vue Colts last season than Milford and never won a race for Poole but with lower team building points limit he may win a race or two so could be a good signing or go for Nathan he has ridden all the tracks and would be a better bet going On league track experience.

Trophies are a bonus but surely no promoter gets into speedway to come second.Glasgow is an excellent club but be honest can you say your promoter is happy with their considerable investment they make every season and I'm only going On what's been said on here I've no idea what they invest in £'s to not win trophies.Poole have the Ford's who despite what has been said on here is a "jumped up hairdresser " knows how to build winning teams and this last season we had an excellent track as for one sided meetings yes a few but I would love for every meeting to be close and you would think as all sides build to the same points pre season you would get close meetings but that is not the case,still it is what it is and look forward to next season and who knows what 7 Poole will start with well we know 4 we all guess the rest.

Excellent news just wondering can the old track not be taken over by the people looking to start this project or is that a non starter as I'm obviously not from that area

Or maybe Middlo has no more rooms available for them to stay

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

In the 80's we had Danny Kennedy he was an Aussie RIP maybe with us not according to someone on here that Tate and Keynan are not going to Wimborne Road next season we will get another Kennedy as the Ford's look far and wide for riders.

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.

Support what you say completely only thing to add in the current climate £20 to watch a meeting is to some people a lot of money but you have to ask yourself if you can afford £20 plus petrol and you love speedway then go.If your opinion is it's too expensive that's fine but quantify that by does the money really matter ? then 1 you can afford it and 2 would you enjoy it,if one them those is true then go.

That seems a good theory why he was let go it's away you need your big guns scoring as at home your second string and reserves can be the difference thanks for that info.

Well we can't both have Jack Thomas and in Nathan Ablitt ( Natha's brother )someone will get a rider who has had a whole season at all tracks and will be up against a few new 2 pointers so could be a good signing

So am i,thought he was an excellent captain and a very decent bloke not that Steve Worrall isn't but must be a reason Danny was let go as they are both as good as each other on the track and probably on the same money.Maybe money was the deciding factor we'll never know or maybe some scribes on here who seem to be well informed,someone can't remember who said Danny was going to I think Redcar a few pages ago or then Birmingham will give us the answer still rest assured the Ford's will put together a top team.

Don't know anything about him,where was he riding last season etc can someone please let me know

Assuming your right and people on here from what I have read seem to think you know someone with insider knowledge then we will ditch one of the big 3 and Kemp.It won't be long before we have nearly the Australian test team representing Poole so if I'm to believe what's been said then 2024 our re entry to the top league could be not far short of the Australian test team Holder x 2,Kurtz,2 Cooks,these 2 new Aussies,no better stop now the Stella is kicking in.

Not surprised his attitude in the final celebration would not have done him any favours,thought he would improve more than he did last year there is a good rider in there and if Poole can't make him better who can ( I'm ducking down )

Might have missed it but has anything been agreed about guest riders ,Kennett saga last season is it going to be the same should someone unfortunately get injured and be out for a long spell.

Who would we drop for Chris Holder Poole icon he is but Matt always builds top teams and if he thinks that's the way to go then who could argue but I don't think it's likely but what do I know as for an earlier post about Matt flashing the cash I don't think he does Poole is a speedway town always has been and I suppose like say if Manchester United come calling footballers find it hard to say no and I should think its the same in our sport if Poole/Matt calls you to race at Wimborne Road ( paid on time and good chance to win trophies ) you would say yes.We are lucky as Poole is a holiday resort so always get good crowds so Matt may have a bit extra to invest in riders but from what I have seen on here the Glasgow promotion have all the money and try as they may have not found the best 7 to win the league yet so money doesn't guarantee success what you need is a good knowledge in speedway and a few contacts in Australia and a big house for your riders to live in while the season is on.

In the current climate we need some comedy

Dillon for Drew ?

That's the trouble with having three no'1s and the chefs who have improved immensely you have to let one go as success costs jobs still whoever is let go they won't be short of offers and if it is Steve and he is northern based he'll have a pick from a few clubs as apart from at Poole he will be riding No 1 as we can be sure it won't be Richard who is let go but who knows one thing we all can take for granted the Ford's will build a side that will be up there again as always.

If that is the case should we stick with Nathan after all he's had a full season in this league and has clearly struggled but is that because he is not good enough of is it his equipment that is not good enough.
