You won't get a facility for etheridge until he's rode for you this season,you would be better off signing a replacement as he's too injury prone anyway imo.

Wrong. Bowtell is a former diamond.

Had a look at all the teams who have their own race suits and Poole definitely have the worst,Redcar and Plymouth best design imo.

Who cares? The discussion is about Oxford and Poole's parking conditions and cost.

Cars £5 caravans free

I think Ipswich picking Thomson says more about Rowe and kemp than anything else. Bad apples and all that.

Big signing on fee paid to get there man though! We know Skidder1 will deny this

No way will Poole do a double change, Skidder1 loves to throw a few red herrings in the mix

Good to hear, the fence is being upgraded obviously there was a problem with the old one as Alcock,gilkes and Thomas prove.

Am I the only person that thinks the safety fence at scunny needs to be looked at,only a matter of time until someone hits the concrete behind it and receives life changing injuries or worse!!

Yes he did, and yes goret was very poor.

Proctor rode in France yesterday 2pts from 4 rides. He could be ok if he's at reserve.

What price do you put on riders safety?

Gilkes was first bend

If I was drew kemp I would give Poole a 1 finger salute

I don't know, the fact that it's used so often surely reinforces the need for rider safety instead of raking in the£££ invest some of the profits to make it safer.

Its not the severity it's the frequency, Thomas,Gilkes, Alcock in less than 12 months can you name another track that has the same record of bad injuries in the same time frame? No I didn't think so

Has Poole set up any fund raising to help jack yet or is the focus on a replacement.

Something needs to done about it.

Poole have 5.21 to replace Thomas,kemps average with British reduction is 5.20.

Will Poole go for an available young British rider of which they're a few who would fit,or go for an overseas option?

My point is riders crash regardless of ability or experience, the safety fence at scunthorpe possibly needs looking at to see if it could be made safer,possibly repositioning it,rider safety is paramount, what's your point?

The airfence has an armco barrier directly behind it that is the problem not the riders inexperience if a gp rider crashed into the fence at scunthorpe he would sustain bad injuries.

Surely it would be prudent to move the air fence in 1m or more leaving a gap which would certainly lessen the chances of hitting the armco barrier Jack Thomas, Dan gilkes, Joe Alcock would certainly have had more of a chance imo. Zane Kennedy not so much as he went right over the top. As has been previously stated definitely needs some sort of investigation 3 serious crashes in less than 12months is not a coincidence !

Not ideal is it.
