Pirates Of Poole

That does surprise me

So if Chris returns and James we still have a massive 7.78 for the final rider! Based on Chris 7.16 and James 2.95!

Was on Facebook page I think.

Tai rode here in 2016 so within 3 years of rule so remains 7.03.

There will be no joke as he won't be in the UK next year.

If he isn't at Poole then I can see someone having to have to pay a nice transfer fee, which clubs have the money though? He is on a bargain average so I'm sure Matt will do all he can to keep him. That is the issue! Jack has a real attitude and needs to realise he isn't gods gift to speedway just because his brother was a world champ. His mouth has cost him a Poole contract next year!

If neither want to ride for Poole then yes I would sell them on and bring riders in who do want to be at Poole.

Would wonder where Somerset get there money from if they can get all 4 of those riders, as the won't come cheap!

Steve is right there is no money in this country and the riders being mentioned will cost a small fortune, somthing clubs simply can't afford. Some 5-6 point riders are asking absolutely ridiculous wage demands. Expectations need to be lowered sadly.

Think 2+2 and getting 5 with Wozniak regarding Poole sadly.

2 new signings....could be riders who have rode for the club before or new to the pirates ship. As usual every year expect a surprise signing from Matt 👍🏻

I agree to a degree but it also need to be a level playing field! No point smashing teams away by 15-20 points as the following week no one will turn up at that track! Needs to be a decent share of top riders. Matt also isn't made of money and certainly isn't the best paying promoter, what Poole can offer though is good sponsorship with loyal club sponsors over the years.

I do think re-assessing all would open a can of worms, all new riders coming in now will have new averages plus any full time GP riders. Otherwise how would it be calculated exactly based on Sweden and Poland?

So with the 3 clubs rule being dropped by the Poles finally, Could mean we will see a former pirate return to UK racing.

Agree I would like to actually read my clubs comments and not constant childish antics!

Simple ban the people who offended and block any new members for a month to stop them coming back under a different name!

6.45 he was on the radio - and rider in question I'm sure would have been Dudek.

So Matt confirmed on Solent tonight that if the 8 point rule was not bought in he had a new top rider ready to come who has never ridden in Britain before.

They have and it has already been mentioned on here by someone else who the 7 point rider is.

I think that's the major concern. They have blocked more than 1 8 pointer but all that has created is a demand for the 6-7 point riders. Clubs with those assets won't release them until they are sorted and you get left with the unwanted rider!

Magic is a no go because of rules at Poole.

Exactly was he in the team last year? Nope!

Jack won't be back! Expect 5 new faces from this seasons team and Matt did say that ln his programme notes, a re-build was required with the first part being announced tonight.

You can rule out Newman and Klindt definitely and Jack is very very unlikely to be back.

First bit of team news due this afternoon.
