  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.

  26. To be fair I don’t see a lot of fault anywhere, just a racing incident between two riders giving it everything.

  27. What a daft comment. What is a club supposed to do, hire riders who are no good on their home track ? Lol. More like you are just a poor loser. Get over it.

  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.

  31. Not even Peterborough could get away with that , oh and thanks for yet another snide remark . Hard luck for Campton, shame for the lad I hope he makes a good recovery. In your case there is no recovery .

  32. I’ll be coming down for this as I want to have a look at the old place while I can. I’ve not been during the Fraud era for obvious reasons but the current rumblings have stirred me into action. I’d booked this when we had our pre injury/broken heart line ups as I could see an Aces victory. Now it’s just a run out for the patched up Aces against an already strong pirates sides bolstered by the addition of PK. It’s just me coming along as the cost for the family can’t be justified at this famously gate & go venue. Looking forward to it anyway, just needed to dig out my Simmo rosette.

  33. Maybe but he's only saying what he's been told to say. If Doyley is still at the track then I stand corrected but if he had a direct route to hospital how the hell would anyone trackside know how he is. Common sense should tell you that.

  37. I think Shanes has the potential and his grass track background shouldn't be a disadvantage. Many youngsters progressed from the grass to the shale in the 60's, 70's and 80's. If he is prepared to listen and learn he would benefit from an experienced rider taking him under his wing in the way that Steve Lawson mentors Bewley.

  38. Yeh, he will continue to learn and improve Gem. He has improved his equipment for this season, so if he could attain or slightly improve his average then job done.

  39. Yep i agree with you, all including young bewley are the future, of course as you know, that proper international standard is a long way off for those guys, but they will all learn in time. I mean, even established riders in there team could give a helping hand, but obviously, you would rather see them do it on a training track rather when points are at stake.

  40. James Shanes style entering corners is/will hold him back. He sort of throws the bie into a corner and while it will get him so far, his stle does have limitations. Trouble is how do you completely change your racing style? Much easier said than done.

  46. We live in a totally different world now with 24 hour TV and sports. Speedway like Cricket (although 20-20 has been its salvation) lost its family image and patience seems to have gone as people want continuous excitement. Speedway racing is as exciting if not more so than ever and the riders exceptionall skilful but for now we live with what we have, there are still nearly 30 clubs going so nothing as bad as 1958 when there were only 10 full time clubs.
