About as much chance of a 100 a day long term smoker giving up over night.....Hard to break the habit of a lifetime I would imagine, but with any dry spell would definitely be a good thing.

Probably was, pretty much out in substantial woodland. If you did the same today could be the A27, that's pretty much a car park from Eastbourne to Southampton.....

Happy days.......

Point taken, I fell out of love with football years ago when the money side at the top became obscene. I was a long time supporter of Pompey so not just armchair and loved seeing the Sir Alex era with the bulk of the Man U team being from the youth side, now just the biggest foreign investors win. Anyway I'd still always go for live speedway first.

I always remember at Eastbourne Bob Dugard watering all day when it was dry and windy like this with no rain in the forecast, starting the meeting with quite a wet track, always created a good dust free track as the sun came off it, we did run a deep grippy track though normally when at top level.

Watch the speedway live especially with the weather forecast looking so good, if you really have to, can see the football on catch up later. The people who have the money to waste on football at that level probably wouldn't go to speedway anyway.

Suppose only he knows, we all surmise on here me included. If it happens again at Scunny definitely a problem for him though.

Was always surprising that the senior Poole riders didn't put him right when riding for them really. As he's 20 now hopefully he's grown out of his teenage strops for Scunthorpe's sake and acts his age....

Isn't that the definition of being inconsistent which over the years he has been really? I'm not a Poole fan and nothing against Steve but I know who'd I prefer to have as a No1/ heat leader.....

Jason has always been a polite level headed young man, even as a kid at Eastbourne was exactly the same, a pleasure to watch and speak to, always seemed to be in control of the bike and himself.

Mind you the way his riding for Poole at the moment r/r probably won't do you any harm.....

Be about 20 in the crowd so unlikely to be a success......

Plus whatever you'll know he'll try 100% and not winge about anything......

it wasn't me as Shaggy said...

Need new glasses, looked quickly and thought cook was cock! Then again.....maybe I was right in first place, or even choking the chicken I suppose.

Indeed, seem to remember Neil asking the Poole fans not to boo/wind up Nicki too much back in the day as it got him in the right mood, and him winding up the Poole fans on bend 2 back at Eastbourne, but I never remembered it to be nasty either way, tended to be pantomime. I remember chanting cheat at Bjarne Pedersen one night at Arlington when he slid off to get Poole a tactical in the following heat. Whether he did or not we'll never be sure, ( although the sort of clever thing Matt Ford would have tried I suppose) but it was fun, happy days.....

Suppose that's the problem with him made worse with age, even when he was track record holder in the past, he was still capable of 0 or 10. Remember him coming to Eastbourne back in day when we had Zager at No 1 for a season, sure he beat him comfortably in his first couple of rides, but seemed to switch off even with good track conditions and had a score card something like 3 3 0 0 0, Zager went on to 2 2 3 3 3.

That's been Tom's nature from a wee lad at Eastbourne, why didn't the others 'want' it I wonder?

Good all the generations going, but a lot of tracks ( none stated) you'd probably be related to the whole crowd.....

Indeed at least you know he won't disappear in a strop if something negative happens, ideal 28 day signing.

really.....

Exactly, might think about it for next season in the last couple of meetings if playoffs bound already, a rider of his age will want to win every race he's in, or at worst a 2+1 on his card I'm sure.

Maybe does to the fans through the season especially at home, maybe more home wins at 2nd rather than 5th, although I like'd a good close match 46/44 win in heat 15 was always a good evening, but any loss made it along drive home.

No restraining order issued quite yet then ?

Won't matter at all if neither teams get to the playoff final or the KOC final I suppose .....
