This will probably make me ill, but as a Robins' fan, Come On Poole! Yep, feel sick now.

I don't think big name speedway riders are crucial to attracting new fans. When I first went I didn't know any riders or anything about speedway - I expected scrambling, which didn't fill me with much enthusiasm - but I loved the sport immediately, the sounds, the smells, the excitement seeing how the red and blue helmets gate, willing your riders to stay in front, especially when it was David Ashby, and even doing the stats in the programme. Oh, and hoping the mascot would fall off (Rosco).

Lynn have Simon Lambert and Auty at reserve so there's a chance Rosco can wind him up to out gate Auty. Jake Is third in the NL averages with 10.27, behind Zach & Bewley (both 10.67), so he's on good form.

To be fair, he's far from an idiot.

No. 3.49 x 1.2 is 4.19 or 4.4 if an extra 5% is allowed for a (home?) guest. Jan Graverson is currently 4.13. So maybe a choice of him, Clegg, Perry, Ayres or Sarjeant match by match?

28th has passed and no announcement of a replacement for Zach so either we're going with guests or Rosco will be backdating paperwork on Monday!

You seem to have arrived in place of Gater1!

Rosco looking at options to replace Zach. Presumably Max Clegg? Or Sargeant, Ayres or Perry? Or Jack Parkinson-Blackburn.

"Championship" favourites? Surely that's Poole after Glasgow beat you!

Yep, feeling cocksure .... but if we lose, so be it, it's not the end of the world, it's sport! Tell Matt Ford that!

Did you use Richie's average or Brady's to get to your team total?

Steve, you're late for your massage!

6.5 rider to replace a 5.45?

Oh, brill, sign Gomolski and Davey!

7.71 as he was in Leicester's starting team.

Gomolski is 7.71 and Dave 3

Yes, please! Oh, hang on, it doesn't fit! Lol

They don't fit. Grondal and Baran?

He's doing well in Poland.

Doesn't fit. How about Karol Baran?

From here, you go fifth......sixth.......seventh.........bottom......Championship lol

Might be best to put the Sprockets out against this Poole shower?

Will Poole ever win again?

Get in, again. Lol Poole are rubbish.

Peter Collins always looked like he was working hard on the bike, mainly because he wasn't a gater, and Michael Lee was a bit more erratic. Dan Bewley brought to mind Leigh Adams, very smooth and unflustered.
