Cooper's never made a big announcement on socials before though

Yes. It said ‘OXFORD SPEEDWAY’ on it - in case you’re insinuating something else.

It's all very repetitive now.

Welcome to Poole, Dan!

Great signing and if he can stay injury free he will easily add a point to his average! I’m sure the signing everyone was expecting will be delayed until the week up to Xmas Day and delivered as a perfect Christmas pressie for Pirates. 

Troy batchelor will be a great Christmas present I agree

Does this mean we were going to have Anders until Zach changed his mind. Zach has the potential to easily  be a 8 point rider.

What about Drew Kemp he is running out of options.?

What about Drew Kemp, good rider but not in our plans.

Don’t think he would fit. Think his average plus a 2pointer would put us over the limit? 
Either way, his sulking for Poole a few years back means he probably won’t return for a long time.

Think once a certain rider named agreed to come here next year and changed his mind about 4 weeks ago, the club had to move quickly to get Dan signed up, the deal has been done and dusted a few weeks I would think 😁

Was that named rider Beau Bailey

All this talk of Beau Bailey but it’s now becoming clear that he was never going to fit into the team with a 5.00 point average?

Anders starts the season on 7.38 and if he pulled out late and is now replaced with Zach on 7.34 then Poole would never have had 5 points available for the number 2 position and therefore Gilkes was probably always in the team. 

Poole 

1. Richard Lawson 9.58

2. Dan Gilkes 4.59

3. Lewis Kerr 6.77

4. Fraser Bowes 5.63

5. Zach Cook 7.34

6. William Cairns 3.81

7. Cooper Rushen 2.00  
 

= 39.72, with Anders it would have been 39.76.  Therefore there was never an extra 0.41 to have had Beau instead of Gilkes .

You must be in the know Lewy to predict that scenario lol.

Bailey would’ve been a 4.00 not a 5.00.

Beau would have arrived on a 4.00 I believe

Ah thank you, in which case I stand corrected. Does mean Poole would have been a point below the limit

Was it actually a case of Tobias out Gilkes in. I don't really care, because much as I think Toby did a a job for Poole over the last two seasons, Toby had reached his level but Dan has the potential to go far further. A shrewd signing. 

Assuming it is Zac and Cooper I'm a happy bunny.
