Aston Villa are doing fine ..

Agree with most of that, however Bomber will be at Boro next year..

Unconfirmed reports it will be Jonsson...

Not forgotten that at all. I don't remember ever saying they were competitive selections, maybe you can remind me when I did...

NO meeting should be ridden on a soaking wet track...

I never doubted NKI who was not a wildcard pick, and Tai was an improver. MJJ is class, he could win anywhere...

I would agree with that, along with Holder, Gollob and MJJ. All riders that can win a GP, instead of the token Swede that wont even get close. Don't need a token gesture in the line up, we have Smolinkski already..

Be okay as long as the damp doesn't start coming out...

That's the winters entertainment sorted now you two have locked horns again..

How is it possible to take a sport forward, when attendances are falling year on year. Do you have any idea's on reversing that trend ? Personally I think all under 16's should get in free, and under 18's just a fiver...

Wont be enough riders to go round if that comes in, and would probably contravene European employment laws...

That makes two of us. I'm 90 miles away from the Showground, and don't understand why locals are not packing the place out. The track is awesome, that's why I go. Maybe a good start to the season for once would help..

That's probably correct, but I should imagine the Pirates can pull support from both, which would certainly help. Either way, its always good to see big crowds at speedway, and Poole are certainly up there on that front. Ward and Holder are box office everywhere, and they definitely put bums on seats. The Showground is always rocking when the turbo twins come to town...

The population of Poole and Bournemouth is far greater than Ipswich...

I doubt he could operate in a club with a mind set of fair play and integrity...

Neither would i brum, but you would at the Showground surely. He did spank the World Champion there twice recently on his way to another max..

I would pay 17 quid to watch BUZZ and PK at the showground any day. Pure entertainment...

Buzz all the way for me. His form has been superb, and our season really started when he came back into the team...

We all know that if the BV meeting had been close after heat 10, the moisture would not have come out of the track, and Poole would have been insisting the meeting continue. ANY journo or TV presenter would have been asking the right questions after it was called off, instead of the predictable 'cheese' we are forced to put up with, from people with no backbone...

It was just an observation, not an attitude, and I totally agree that with your other points...

Trouble is 99.9% of the population don't give a fig about speedway...We live in our own little methanol bubble.

Probably the biggest draw in speedway for 20 years bar none..

Yes..

And how many against Lakeside when you called it off ?
