Just like the air fence manufacturers remember Vinnie Foord. I heard a rumour they even offered to cover his wages if he signed for Poole again.

Poole have launched a new weekly draw to help fund a new air fence for 2026. Meanwhile the NSS has taken out extra insurance as Vinnie is now in the British Final on Monday. Maybe Lawson and Kerr were merely being cautious...?

Absolutely NO pressure is being put on young Will Cairns whatsoever. Its just a case of get on the bike and ride. The lad is 16 or will be, he has years of developing to do . So anybody who thinks that is completely barking up the wrong tree.

Can't agree the Poole masterplan for 2025 success was build an average side with only 1 or 2 likely "improvers" & then wait for the debut of the wonderkid to transform your results. So no pressure there then!

But that wasn't the "masterplan". So far they have 5 riders who've upped their starting averages. ONE poor match doesn't mean they've become a bad team overnight.

Given most fans had Poole in their top 4 predictions,  wouldn't call it an "average" side.

Vinnie certainly didn’t disgrace himself last night.

No he didn't.  Unfortunate first heat when his clutch plates welded together, after that he was never far behind . Only really made one good start and lead for a while. Forget how relatively inexperienced he actually is at only 18.

If there's going to be no pressure, why all the hooha about Will Cairns going straight into the team for the best part of a year ?

Because that was always the plan.

Because they think Cairns is the best 2.00 prospect & they want to win the league.

Poole always plan to be the best they can.

We know that, but the fans are saying he's under no pressure to score. Yet they've dropped Marson who was in as a make weight,  for poor performances Ritchings I'd say is a big step up from Marson. But Cairns is still under pressure as the reason they've dropped Marson is the other 6 not performing. 

But then maybe Marson asked to be stood down but If that was the case it would be the main part of the story.

So in my opinion the reality is Will Cairns is under no pressure to score points

But the onus is on him to score a few points, I hope he does well but if he struggles there's plenty of Poole fans on here who'll be moaning.
