So probably a slight advantage on average over 2 legs to have the away one first I suppose if both matches close?

Always....

You wish, even then probably lose the playoffs

Think he did when he was at Eastbourne...or you could lend him one?

Phew that's ok then, thought he may have lost his hair brush and had a breakdown....

In her defence if you go on any paint site or similar there's normally between 50 and 100 shades of purple ? https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/429038301995584153/

I reckon they were red ones as usual and were put in a prewash to soften them up and someone left some blue jeans in and this was the result. Surely must have been something like that, can't believe it was planned .

Going to be mostly chicken nuggets this year and not the many gold nuggets of a few seasons ago, but as you say will be a close league and still think there maybe a couple to emerge at the bottom of the pan.....

Does he not mean good racing and no injuries? Or am I answering for the children?

We all know the current situation, your last 3 posts over the last 3 hours, perhaps you should start your own thread Old Bob's Negative Posts Thread and put them in there.

Any risk would be with the promotion not the Dugards, and with the people involved with trying to bring it back, the Jordon scenario wouldn't have happened again, so probably another reason, anyway thanks for your usual input.

Wouldn't have expected anything else really.....

As long as he can earn enough I suppose?

I hope you're right and whatever it's not sold for housing, maybe it just seems like it near me, but obvious brownfield sites never seem to be first choice. Anyway another speedway venue gone by the look of it, along with yours and so many others.

A lot depends on Hume, has had steady progression over the last few seasons, probably have 5 rides most meetings, if Joe gets a point or 2 probably job done, will make for some interesting last 4 or 5 heats in most Ipswich matches though.

Unfortunately in the south of England objections and being rural don't normally make any difference to housing planning being accepted, I think until Sussex and Kent have no green space they'll keep going. I live near Chichester which is so overpopulated for the available roads, utilities, doctors etc, but it seems every bit of green space is being built on with others to be built, can't think the Eastbourne area is likely to be different?

Bangers and stocks are still pulling in pretty good crowds, and imagine Spedeworth have a contract for x amount of years at a time. A lot of the speedway stuff, tractors etc went after the Jordon ruination of the club, so think its full time or nothing really, I genuinely think they may have lost the will for speedway but hopefully they'll be a further statement of why, but imagine probably not.

Maybe just fallen out of love with it like a lot of others perhaps , especially in today's climate, economically and everything else really.

Thanks to you and all involved for trying, I know you know the family but does seem from the outside that all the noise about not wanting NL etc was just a stalling tactic. Wouldn't have been any speedway at Arlington for decades without the Dugards so shouldn't complain now really I suppose.

Don't think they can be in this league with the amount of riders available. Back in the day in the Elite everyone still wanted to ride here so there was a string of riders to come in for under performers/team changes from home and abroad, but Poole definitely were one of the most ruthless then.

True but I'm an Eastie fan ( still hopeful) not a Poole one, so maybe that's the controversial bit, most thinking that Poole are likely to keep the same line up are Poole fans I imagine .

This maybe controversial but think in this league and apart from a question mark against Rowe and the nightmare of injuries, think Poole will probably go through the the season with the starting 7.

Indeed, last chance to impress really especially if his attitude doesn't improve at Poole it won't anywhere really, as you say will wait and see....

Think both go hand in hand really, I've always liked team race suits, but no way should a rider pay for them, one form or another of sponsorship is essential, commercial or fans, just shows that all clubs need a good promotion to sort it.

Christ, they're in trouble if they're not
