Sounds like you had a wild holiday, all the way to the Phillipines to watch videos of Chris Mills and Aaron Fox. Couldnt you of saved some cash and done that in your living room?

What is it with riders at Newcastle being involved in trouble with police? Haha Boxall, Grant, Scotty Smith, Pedersen, anymore?

Cook hasnt ridden at #1 before and Vaculik could well not like the smaller UK tracks, thats if he lasts a season! Kurtz has improved year on year and see no reason why he wont continue to do so in 2018.

And whilst I am at it, if Poole finish off with Holder, Andersen and Shanes then they look by far the team to beat and better than any of these rumoured Belle Vue teams. Kurtz, Holder, Andersen, Josh G, Scznepiak (sp), Woryna and Shanes looks extremely strong even if the two Poles rode to their average... this side will rack up some huge wins if, as expected, the Poles make mockerys of their starting average. *thats assuming that Poole sign these 7.

Kurtz may look a weak number one on paper but there arent many strong ones on paper either imo. with his rapid improvement he could actually go on to be top 3 in the averages, who else do you have apart from Doyle as a proven number one in this league? Morris? Thorsell? Cook? Vaculik could find life a nightmare in the UK and be a flop. Lynn havent got a number one. He has a higher average than Nicholls and Harris who are both on their way down. To me it looks as though Kurtz, as it stands, could quite easily be second or third in the averages by the end of the season. Id be stunned if first time number ones in Morris, Cook, Thorsell and Vaculik average more than him to be honest but I guess we will see.

Going by your assessment that means Poole would be better off with Tungate or Pickering at number one rather than Kurtz?! the Aussie champs are now quite frankly just something for the younger Aussies to do to waste time during the off season, none of the top Aussies bother with it anymore (Doyle, C Holder, Batchelor etc). judging riders on these meetings is rather silly. Didnt Davey Watt finish in the top 3 last season, how did his UK season go?

What an awful Aussie champs line up compared to previous years. Quite sad to see. isnt Matt Gilmore under the wing of Craig Watson?

Could be similar to anders henriksson at newport , a fellow swede who was superb at home and pretty poor away riding at numbers 3/4, once Watson left he was thrown in at number one and in his final season with Newport he ended up as one of the top riders in the league with massively improved away performances. Cant see Thorsell struggling too much at 1 in this watered down league to be honest, but will have to see.

Has to be said that I think Ford is losing interest in Poole and is just ticking over these days. Doesnt seem to want to spend the money on the club that he used to. Whether its because the rumours of the stadium closing in the near future are actually true or he has just lost interest altogether, who knows. But the past few seasons things havent been their usual self at Poole thats for sure.

Same as you until Rye realised how crap your boy was and got rid.

Doyle more than likely needs a UK visa to allow him to ride in Poland or something similar.

They have Andersson as a second string who will probably be second heatleader come May. i dont think its a bad team, Wells and Riss is a decent top two as well.

I have no idea why Poole are trying to sign Holder. Had too many knocks, coupled with his rotten attitude, and is on the way down. His average reflects his present form and I cant see much improvement in it. Would be looking elsewhere if I was Matt Ford, espiecially if Holder doesnt even want to be there

No loss missing out on Holder, a rider on the way down without a doubt.

You honestly come across as a really thick individual to be honest

Newport had Ben Howe on an 11.50 average or something similar did they not? With Henriksson at 1 and Neath stepping up to third heatleader

This rob mac has always been a moaning old knob to be honest.

Lambert is another over rated Brit with a huge ego and shocking attitude problem. Another Danny King standard wise, but at least King is a much more down to earth person compared to Lambert

Every club he gets involved in goes belly up, so hardly inspiring is it?

Anyone who thinks Horton wont be involved somehow really need their heads testing

Jesus christ, and Peterborough fans thought it couldnt get any worse! why on earth would any forward thinking promotion want this guy involved in their club? He, along with horton, has driven several clubs into the ground . Shocking news for pboro fans

I find it staggering how so many so called adults bite to the kid who has a different username every other day. Its so obvious hes taking the p155 every time he posts yet time and time again people bite. Comical.

Official attendance for the rugby league game was 22000 and something, that was a dull affair as well with zero atmosphere as inwent to that too.

The AAMI stadium??? Capacity about 30000. Hosting speedway events in half empty stadiums js embarrasing.

Stadiums too big for this event imo, the atmosphere isnt bad in here but half empty. Interesting to hear rumours of a few so called young aussie super stars thrown out of a bar for indulging in Class As earlier on this afternoon 👀👀👀
