Neila Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Will look in later to see who's signed and if the fans are happy with the signing, but the last few days a hell of a lot of rubbishe been talked on here it's not good and it's not clever. Let's get to speedway issues and slagging off the track 🙃 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to announce Rushen tonight. Oxford announce their reserves tomorrow, and are realistically the only other team that might have signed Rushen. So if you announce Cook, leaving a 2 point hole and Oxford don't announce Rushen the it all but confirms your final rider. Cook still has that little bit of 'has he changed his mind about missing the Championship next year' mystery if they announce him last.

Sadman Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago From Poole web page. CAPTAIN COOK SAILS BACK IN 15/12/25 Poole Speedway has been given a massive boost with the news that their 2025 team captain Zach Cook has opted to extend his racing at Championship level and will therefore skipper the Pirates again in 2026. The 26-year old Cowran who finished the double winning season on an average of 7.34 revealed "I am really happy to be back with Pirates for 2026. To be honest, I wasn't originally planning on racing in the Championship next season. With other commitments I thought it might spread me a bit too thin." "But Matt and Dan were so keen to get me signed and the more we talked, the more it felt right. I love this club; I love the supporters and I still feel there's some unfinished business here. I want to be part of helping Poole chase more success." Admitting that the promotion were determined to try and persuade Zach to return, promoter Dan Ford said "when Zach first told us of his plans not to do the Championship next season, we knew we would have to work on him as we were absolutely determined to get him back on board. He is a fantastic captain, a brilliant team rider, leads by example and is very much someone who always delivers when the big meetings come around. Quite simply he is impossible to replace." "We are absolutely delighted to have him back and leading the Pirates again in 2026, linking up with Richard (Lawson) Lewi and Will (again)." "Along with Fraser (Bowes) and Dan (Gikes) we are happy with how our team plans have gone so far." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have sponsored him for a couple of seasons, but does not mean he is Poole bound, may want to share a lift from East anglia as he cant drive yet, with batch and be worky bound 🙃😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but if Oxford haven't signed him, and we'll find out tomorrow who their reserve are, then it essentially confirms that he is riding for Poole before Poole announce it. I expect Rushen to be riding for Poole next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
