  1. Each stadium / track will have it's own for's and those that are against , at the end of the day it's another speedway track that is still open for business , like it or like it not , which we should all be grateful for with the sport as a whole in decline and very little chance of seeing new stadium development anywhere .

  4. Will be interesting to see who the other new riders registered will be Could it signal an intent to move up to the top league in the not too distant future? Whatever his faults (real or imagined) Ged is certainly positive and proactive in looking to develop his club - you have to applaud him for that.

  5. As many fans now can read you like a book.The usual and expected comments from you. Poole must be the unluckiest team in the league to have to face teams at when they are at their strongest at any time in their league campaigns. Funnily enough when Poole have to use R/R or a guest they are weakened. Nice one SS same old bulls**t

  7. Yep probably on par with What Mick Horton said was break even, you can add a few more to that when weather improves. Decent meeting despite the conditions, if it was a premiership meeting I doubt it wouldve got that far. Fair play to all the riders for keeping it going.

  8. About 350 I would guess, which considering the weather (rained all the way through) is pretty good and it will only get better once the sun starts shining and word gets around about how good the racing is. Really enjoyed it and all credit to the lads who got stuck in despite the rain and tricky track to produce some great racing which was on a par to any PL match I've been to.

  10. Kyle is a difficult one to predict. At times he looks rather ordinary, but one the other hand he popped out of the gate in heat 9 on Friday and beat the previously unbeaten Ulrich Ostergaard, and if he can pull that sort of thing off against an opposing heat leader once a meeting its the sort of thing that wins matches, and he didn't have any last places which is exactly what you want from a No 4. There is a long way to go yet but my guess is he'll stay at No4 all season , maybe with a small increase on his average . I like him though, glad we have him in the team and hope he does well. He is certainly not short of enthusiasm .

  11. To be fair, Jonas had just drove across Stevie on the 4th corner, so Stevie would have been trying to get around him when Jonas tried it again.

  12. Such is the strength of this Poole side, it has ridiculed the league as a competition. In there blinded wisdom of allowing out of date averages, the BSPA has all but destroyed the equality a league needs to be respectable. My plan for the coming season is to accept Poole's dominance and forget about them. In my mind the competition is about the remaining 7 teams. These are all of a similar standard where the results will be based on the racing seen on the track and not some out of date ruling that only provides loopholes for those looking to pull a fast one..

  13. Only made it for the last 5 races, but impressed with what I saw from both sides. Really like the centre green presenter there and Neville is great. It's not just a speedway meeting there its an event for the family. Very much in the mould of the Warrior Way.

  28. All clubs have the same chance to sign riders as any other clubs if they chose not to do so for whatever reason that’s up to them it’s not Poole fault that rider want to ride for them surely? ask any young footballers that doesn’t want to play for Man United for instance. I’m perhaps missing something but are Poole really that much stronger than the rest of the league ? as for someone saying they could do an Ipswich what they did in 98 I’d be amazed if they did - yes Poole have a good side as they do most years I’d expect nothing less .

  29. Not at all. As with most things in life if you approach a situation looking for the positives you’ll find them, and if you go in looking for the negatives you’ll find them. The glass that’s half empty is the same glass that’s half full. I spent Friday night enjoying the meeting -both teams. I really don’t get why people spend £17 to spend the evening moaning . Maybe you ought just not go to Lakeside, not think about it, and not follow the threads. Unless of course being miserable is what makes you happy, but it seems a strange attitude to me . Life’s a bit short to go round moaning about everything all the time.

  37. It's a league so Tac Subs are allowed. In this case I think Newcastle felt it was more important for everybody to get as much track time as possible since it was essentially Newcastle's practise, and a tac sub wouldn't have made much, if any, difference. if we'd only been 6 to 8 points down at, say, heat 11 then maybe a tac sub would have been used.

  39. The way he finished up, totally still, he certainly looked unconscious. His head took a beating, so if he isn’t in pain that’s miraculous. Let’s hope it’s ‘only’ a concussion, he will have got away with one if so. His neck looked incredibly vulnerable, I wish neck braces were compulsory!

  40. Went to the shay lots of times following Belle Vue in the 70's and 80's and can't say I enjoyed many visits there...you got absolutely showered with Shale on the bends..much more than anywhere else...the loose grey stuff they used...the racing was fast but I cannot remember much passing there in my visits although Peter Collins was invincible there for a long time... I used to go regularly away locally to see Belle Vue back then and loved Sheffield, Cradley and Coventry but The Shay was never a favourite track for me

  41. I agree Aces51. We have a few young lads who could be quite useful, but they need to be nutured the right way. Sponsorship will also play a big part in theses lads progression.

  42. quite unpleasant viewing! such a blow for Stevie,when you see the impact speed hes lucky to just get away with a broken leg,not that thats any consolation to the lad still convinced the accident was purely racing,JBA im not sure meant any harm at that point,a little hard previously in the race maybe,,,,, fingers still crossed that it is a clean break and that the planned surgery on Monday can get him fixed up sooner rather than later,he definitley seems determinded to bouce back--good luck Stevie

  43. We need the likes of him, Zach, Max and a couple of others included in any GB team training etc, they could be the future of the GB team so need to be taught properly and given as much experience as possible while they are learning.

  44. Was at Eastbourne last night, my opinion needs to change his style to progress, Zach as a much bigger future. Just my honest opinion

  47. Thanks for the updates and excellent posts you blokes. Great racing for the sidecar Oceania and World Cup. There is still a slight gap between the Aussie teams and their international adversaries, but the gap is closing. Sidecar teams from Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand, USA and even France were competing this year. This form of speedway can be very exciting when closely contested. It will only continue to grow with the ongoing support of the overseas teams who make huge financial and logistical comittment just to compete. Go speedway sidecar racing.

  48. No Ricky Wells probably isn't an adequate replacement for Stevie but then again we werent allowed an adequate replacement for Freddie and Jacob at the end of last season either. No rider available had anywhere near the average of Freddie so we were handicapped at the worst possible time. These things happen unfortunately but rules are rules
