Yeah, true. When it's due to a drugs test, they normally say 'unfit/not fit to ride' so have a slight doubt it isn't that as they saying 'not eligible to ride.' Maybe we shouldn't assume the worst but hard not to after last season! Hope for Glasgow's sake it isn't that. Edit - 'medical reasons' was the reason for Richie W and Boxall. I think Complin's is something else.

Either that or maybe it is his bike? Like engine or tyres?

Also two different reasons! Ticket company are the ones saying it was because it is too grippy ( a fan posted their email onto the Poole FB group). Oxford saying waterlogged.

Doesn't normally stop Oxford from keeping a meeting on! Early call off is actually out of character for them. Have to take your word about the rain as lots of people saying it hasn't rained there today and also if you look up past weather in Oxford it has no rain for any time today.

Apparently it is 'too grippy' so not waterlogged then..

Apparently there has been no rain in Oxford according to other fans on twitter. Was surprised when it was called off as Oxford keep meetings on when they have hours of rain. Very strange. They didn't leave the hose on did they? Like BV did that time.

Think it was just based on previous performances (same happened when Lawson came) although more banking on the track now, which I'm sure him and Hagon appreciate!

Oh yes, Ace too! Well you are not having Tom back . I just wonder when riders have to change teams that is forced on them, they take a couple of months to settle. Didn't Masters say going to Oxford felt different to what he thought but halfway through last season onwards he felt comfortable in the team.

Glasgow should win there tbh with Complin and Flint in their team! But Berwick will be lots better at home than previous seasons, so can't see too many doing it. Edit - oh and Harris!! lol

Is he only doing Prem and that's it? Or riding abroad as well?

Yeah, they are on the stream. If you want watch others pass Poole riders you have to pay for it

They would stop streaming if there was a big effect on the gates though.

The haters said he wouldn't get near to scoring 4 and first meeting too. So I would say that is a win. Only going to get better when used to the track imo.

Remember there is no passing at Poole Few races like this to choose from last night.

Hope he took note someone from BSN was slating him during the winter as well. https://x.com/robotstudiosuk/status/1737564536230531240?s=20 https://x.com/robotstudiosuk/status/1737574829136486430?s=20

Nor me! Good to see the new riders have good meeting too, should settle the nerves for them a bit. Can't remember the last time I saw Masters leading a race and being passed twice in two races at Poole but then not as slick as last season.

I'd be surprised if it goes ahead with the rain today and some showers possibly in the morning tomorrow! Yeah expect it to be within 6 points either way if it goes ahead especially as we had to lose 7 points from last season and Oxford pretty much the same! Any sort of win I would be happy with.

But Poole got 28 day facility for that Czech who never rode for us a few years ago, so unless the rules have changed since then, I don't see the problem.

Yep, no filter when it comes to talking about Plymouth!

Yeah exactly my point, thanks. So perfect time to have a meeting against them! Duh. Try reading before attacking, but I know that is asking a lot!!

Not sure the Birmingham riders got the memo about struggling! Although tbh perfect time to ride against Sheffield, they haven't really got going yet. Also good to read on speedway updates that they have got a big crowd in.

Most Championship clubs were charging £20 last season, whereas Poole was £19. So am surprised there is a debate about it (we are just catching up!) Maybe they need the extra pound from everyone to cover costs more. They said publicly that season tickets have been going really well, so maybe not that much picking and choosing!

Seems to be a lot of individuals. So be interesting to see how they get on especially with team riding. Hopefully Darcy has emphasised it to Tate as he was always really good at that from a young age.
