The Poole promotion were quoted as saying, when they signed him, that they knew he would miss some meetings at weekends but would do their best to work around it to minimise it.. Given he already had a Polish contract, Poole are secondary in priority... The Aces ride Monday and Thursday so shouldn't clash... Poole didn't have to sign him, knowing he would 100% miss meetings... No one held a gun to their head.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but just want 7 blokes there week in week out barring injury or illness Just out of interest if a Polish fixture got rearranged the same night as a Belle vue match would you be happy if Zach was forced to miss it?

Teams are fully allowed to sign riders knowing they will miss meetings, (invariably away meetings), but, if they plan their fixture list well, they can actually improve their team by bringing in a track specialist ringer... Can't believe that more people don't take this sport more seriously... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't give a monkeys.... When I go to UK league Speedway, I just go to watch the racing, and dont let the Mickey Mouse way the sport is ran get in the way of what can be a decent night out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto,but if a couple of decent riders are missing I just give it a miss nowadays.No longer a diehard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats actually quite a refreshing way of thinking about it tbf, just a bit tricky in some ways cause the racing at Poole is rubbish haha Edited 1 hour ago by Dorsetpirate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted 31 minutes ago Report Share Posted 31 minutes ago https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002t1sq Ooh, that is the closest i've heard them say about moving up to the Prem in the media. Interesting! Only 2 things needed: Good tv deal Weds nights. Not asking for much! Apparently we would have both Cook's and both Holder's.
