Tsunami

Well said. I would have 'like this' but I have ran out of them this afternoon.

Very frustrating and as you say, he usually has good gear, Sean Wilson engines and now testing JAWA again. He must get as frustrated as us, and if he knew the answer he would surely do it. Bit worrying at times that he can top score with say 13 points away, and you think that must be his type of track, but maybe gets a 4 pointer on his next visit. One thing I do know is he tries, and if he was a Newcastle footballer at the moment we would be cheering him. That's my team at the moment as well. Just need the same points limit, but I can see that needs to be lower next year to spread the riders around a bit more.

No 'we' are not, so don't you invent things. Compassionate leave, stress related,etc, in any industry or sport has always been available when certified by a medical person. Get over it.

Too right he would because it would suggest he was mentally OK with the situation and, like playing golf later, proved that people with stress and emotion need to occupy their mind and time. Of course he didn't top score, so he had a sick note. Time to move along. Probably one of the most relevant sentences in this whole debate.

I did worry about his first two races, when he slept at the gate, but overcome one of them and blasted his way around in the others races. He was a street ahead on one, but would not shut off, a bit like Jesper used to do. Only knew how to go flat out, as it he didn't he might fall off. A very underrated captain and rider, who cares what he does, but it doesn't always work out.

Supporting Rye House, you are not likely to now there has been great concern on the terraces for a couple of months that we could not go on like this and were likely to close. The conversations ran parallel to other rumours of other Northerly tracks, especially Berwick but for slightly different reasons. Fortunately with more recent local meetings, and the team performing brilliantly at home, there has been a significant increase in the crowds which has given a lot of encouragement and a much happier atmosphere. The deal has taken a long time with big concessions on both sides, and was believed to being finalised only last week. If as you and others have said, it brought in some dosh for the last meeting against your select team, so be it. It could of course not been agreed and signed, and announced after the season finished, but i do know that the promotion were determined to finalise the deal before the season finished, so they could give the good BIG news to those attending first hand before the season ended. True it wasn't finalised then, so should not have been announced by the dogs side. Just to add to that John. All the others you mentioned made a lot of money whilst at Brough, usually in halcyon days. When George and I opened Newcastle up in 1997, and since with other co-promoters, not one penny will have been made as profit, the intention was always to break even, or to keep the losses down to a personal manageable figure. That in itself is one hell of a performance in a sport with declining crowds.

The final details of the deal were only finalised back end of last week, so your contact was a bit premature to tell others of the deal a month ago.

What a doom and gloom merchant you are. As of tonight there would not have been a contract in place that allowed us to run speedway at Newcastle. The announcement was to inform, and confirm, that the promotion is prepared to run speedway at Brough, and with more favourable terms after some tough but fruitful negotiations. So it is changing despite your stupid comment. With some of your 'shock' comments, I think your boss probably already thinks you are bonkers. Live in the real world, not the dark world. This agreement was needed before any commitment could be made to the BSPA about us running, and informs riders that we are running and there will be team places to be offered. It also confirms to fans that have a team to watch next year, don't you wish Newport could say the same eh. This had to be step one before signings, league participation, and future plans could be formalised. It may be not big news to you. but tough. Why shouldn't there be. There has been rumours of not running posted on here, and other social media, so the announcement was to formally announce to those who are more important, and actually go to our speedway. To ignore it, some silly critics like you would possibly has said 'there should be some formal announcement'. So there has been, so you can move along now, nothing to see here.

I think Aaron has got better, and more reliable/consistant, as the season has gone on. His riding at Brough a few weeks ago, was the best I have ever seen him ride, and we tend to see him more that most with him being a North East based rider.

Oh Dear, what a surprise statement. So unexpected from our non attendee.

So you think if we don't mention and consider every rider in the world with serious injuries, limitations, etc, it is not right to mention the most famous one that everyone knows. That's what FAME is all about. Do you think the black footballer who died and was revived on the pitch at Spurs, should not receive publicity unless the Worlds News has been scoured so that all other related incidents need to also be mentioned. Crazy notion.

You must be joking after all the drivel that has been posted on here in the last few days. It's the 'lack of' that most people have a problem with this case. Not that they have a right to know it anyway.

Yes Kilderman usually is that man. Karma.

Quite agree.

Free kids in the summer, and £5 a child all of the time not good enough for you.

Let me just guess which one you were.

Must admit that I remember a post suggesting it would not be FIM standard, I think for narrower straights. It was then suggested that it would qualify/be modified for FIM meetings only.,

He doesn't need to stoop so low, as you put it. As someone else already pointed out earlier, Matt could have got a sick note, and therefore a guest, for Dak having depression, have sickness, have dizzy spells,...............etc, the same way as others do. That's why this sounds very plausible and likely.

Does it matter, NO. Guests quite often outscore a replaced rider, whether they are guesting for Poole or not. General I find the continual chase in this matter truly distasteful, and shows a few posters on here in a very bad and derange light. Even when extra info is brought out, the centre of interrogation just goes down the line just to challenge another point, as they are determined to try to spot something that they latch their jaws on to satisfy their obsessive hatred of Poole. Can I suggest, to save their faces, that these types wait down the line, and find out what really has happened, and we will then all know from FACTS, whether the doubting and interrogations have been justified. It's what would happen with other teams I am sure. If it's because it is Poole, well winners usually do attract this approach, but unless there are facts that support the doubting, you are all just making fools of yourselves.

More truth in them than what you spout.

Ha ha Bet you wish you had edited your original post claiming Dak's Dad was 'fit and well' back home. Wouldn't have made yourself look such a tosser.

It does matter whether it looks good or not. He's a fit young man, and playing golf for 4 hours is probably one of the best activities he can enjoy given his current situation. Non Coventry fans or non speedway fans, I think would understand the situation and agree.

It was originally stated as a 12 hour op. I think it was orion that extended the time to 18 hours. That is assuming something you and the rest of us DON"T know. Not admissible as a fact to prove anything. Playing golf and getting out is a legit pastime, and recommended to those who live behind a keyboard.

Luv it. Found out to be a LIAR, tried bluffing it and failed, still no evidence, and then resorts to ageism when he is stuffed, what a TOSSER.

Yep, and I still do.
