Poole 2025

[HGould]

Not the first time that's occured.

I know of riders who were owed a lot of money in 2019 by Leicester (when Bates in charge) - 6 to 8 meetings in arrears - it was paid eventually, I must stress but riders who complained usually shipped out.

Other Clubs were sanctioned, put on special measures, closed but a blind eye was turned if it was a Club linked to Management Committee or favoured Clubs.

I thought Bates stepped down at the agm due to pressure of business!?

still looks to be an active director on Compnies House.

Certainly rumours about some Premiership clubs owing riders multiple weeks wages, don't know how true they are but Oxford and Sheffield have been mentioned. 

That's what i'm getting at, plenty of people prepared to share a rumour but never the facts, figures and sources.

Well to get back to Poole 2025, I'm feeling more up beat about Poole's current form after seeing the last two meetings. Good to see Zac, Tobias, Cairns & Starke, all coming on strong at this crucial time. We are blessed with Mr Reliable Lawson, who continues to do the business. My only concerns are: Kerr's bike preparation presumably down to his spanner man or lack of funds? but totally fixable. My other concern is Anders form, he seems to be putting the effort in but isn't getting the results. Not sure what I would suggest. 

Pity the fixtures are getting spread out, making it harder to build up momentum.

In the post-meeting interviews Lewis firstly had an electrical fault and then a puncture!!  Anders - after a hellish week with vans breaking down and late track arrivals -  said he has 'lost his gating gloves' and was hoping for some more track time at Sheffield (Oops!) and in Poland at the weekend.

Everything fixable and both will be fine imo.

Might be worth putting Zach back at 5 for a week or so as be stronger in H13 then.

We are definitely weaker in heat 13 at the moment, pressure seems to be all on Richard to win that race, perhaps Zach could move to 5, only problem is if 3 and 4 are struggling, we've got problems

I think its a bit late in the season to start playing around with rider pairings - just my opinion.

Yeah ,  not paying riders correctly breaches SCB regulations. Rules for some but not others it would seem.

Also were outstanding debt exceeds the value of the bond.

Richard has always been  a consistent points scorer.

Cami critical of the refs decisions which he claims all went against the Tigers, also the Poole fans especially those near to the pits who he claimed verbally abused the Glasgow riders. Shaping up nicely for a battle royale in the second leg.
