Poole look after riders well, but they do not pay /package close to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Plymouth. They offer more matches, a winning mentality and pay very quickly. Matt works on his team well in advance of others and he has no shortage of riders wanting to ride there, equally they have riders who know they can earn more per point elsewhere. Really? And don't they pay handsome bonuses for certain wins? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely don’t pay close to what some do, can tell you that for a fact 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in the know or just guessing? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent post say it as it is. The Ford's love Poole speedway and it's run as a very successful business. People can slate the track or whatever but why do riders go to Poole because they win trophies however it's not important as I have been told on here a few years ago but it is if your a rider so is getting paid on time and Poole meets that criterior. Anyhow off me soapbox back to the San Miguel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I think Glasgow may try to pinch Tate Z from Workington as his average is very enticing but I'm not sure what his or Workington's plans are for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago The best signing Glasgow can make is a new Manager, Cami cost you the league this year by not picking Thompson for the Superheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people keep saying this which would maybe make sense if Harris had won the race but he couldn't beat either of the Poole riders either so it's kind of pointless saying he should've had Thompson, Flint or whoever in the superheat.

Harris was trying to help Howarth get in to the points, I think he would have won the race if it was not a super heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally don’t think Superheat is a satisfactory way of deciding meeting. 2 nominated riders in a Match Race is a fairer outcome.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because if Dan had won that Super Heat, we would've "won" the heat... by four points to five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
