  1. Every Club has had young riders the have not fulfilled their early promise and expectations the riders have to handle the pressure ,joining Tigers is no different apart from a slightly better deal financially.Problem at Ashfield is there is not a lot of home advantage to build confidence. Pressure is part of every Sport if you want to succeed.Small percentage make it to the Top.IM0 if your not holding your own in a Team in 5-6 years it’s time to consider your at your Level.Accepting that younger riders these days might take a bit longer.Its a tough sport to teach the Top and financial outlays are huge.If you compare Polish and Gb youngsters it the same pressure (even greater)but many of them don’t make the Grade either. At the end of the day it is the rider that had to produce. ps Hausl was a huge gamble based on what he had done on track.
  2. Deadly silence coming out of Armadale from Monarch fans,that was a woeful performance from the Home Team.Suppose they will blame the weather,the track was rideable but was it raceable?.Poole riders done all the passing on the night. In a season where tracks have called off early because of Weather forecasts,maybe this should have been the case,but with Poole almost certain to get too the final they went for it. Fans pay good money though!!
  3. Sad news, he was a genuine Top Rider and very stylish.Remember him winning the Scottish Open at Coatbridge against a World Class field and he was a World class rider.
  4. That meeting was getting a bit feisty .Think Pickering had to go but certainly got a bit upset.The reserve had a bit more of case in the re-run but he went as well.
  5. Good news on Bednar if correct that looked horrendous.Definitely knocked out on track.Think Lidsay deliberately touch tapes as he seemed to have a wrist injury when walking off track after crash.Woul have though you could put reserve anyway( maybe not though). Tungate is the King of laying it down.Anders never touched him.Great ride from Thompson a few Gorzow fans would be sweating though. Charles just dumped in the corner again!!!
  6. Riders running the sport as usual.
  7. Any streaming service can only show what’s in front of them though,so moaning is about Speedway in General.Hope the Club streams at 3 times the price are better.!!!
  8. Your first post isn’t all that clear,but since it is about dry dusty tracks I’m sure Poole are not the only one that is dust bowl.Again it is the riders preference.IMO
  9. I have nothing against rider want to ride inPoland and earn big money.Why should GB speedway suffer from that.BSPA need to sort it out though.If Charles can earn more setting pits good luck to him but not to the detriment of GB speedway.
  10. Don’t see much wrong preparing track for home riders.Its a Professional Sport ,riders should be able to suss it out after a ride plus they visit the same tracks every season should what to expect and bike set up. Set ups are the Modern day excuse.!!!, throttle jockeys are the modern day rider though.
  11. Everyone knows the riders don’t want dirt on the track due to modern machinery.The shape and size of tracks in Uk lead to processional racing in GB whereas in Poland track prep is different the tracks look slick but the size and shape produces decent racing.
  12. Why are Poole one of the best supported clubs in the Country then.Name the Clubs with so called better entertainment with bigger Crowds.Speedway in GB is dying mainly due to the riders demands.IMO.
  13. What’s BSN got to do with how Teams prepare tracks they provide a standard service to all tracks during the season.Hitting Clubs on the pocket closes them down these days.Silly statement IMO.
  14. Slater is very impressive IMo.Certainly has the bike handling skills and track craft.
  15. That meeting tonight was as entertaining as anything I have seen at Armadale this season.
  16. That meeting tonight was as entertaining as anything I have seen at Armadale this season.
  17. Lawson has his detractors but he does his talking on the Track.He certainly knows where to ride the Poole track.As usual away rider wins rider of the riders as it’s the away fans watching on BSN the do the % of the voting Paco.FFS.
  18. 6 months to run a dozen meetings and still can’t field full teams due to .Afraid I disagree.
  19. 6 months to run a dozen meetings and still can’t field full teams due to .Afraid I disagree.
  20. Still expected to pay full admission for substandard line up is OK then ,pride or not it shouldn’t happen,taken fans for mugs as usual.Its just grinding the sport into oblivion. Eric Boocock wasn’t far of the mark with his interview on Sat.
  21. Don’t think he had any time to do anything.If you at Lingren think his wheel went over the inside curb which threw him off.
