Belle Vue V Poole Elb 12/09/16 Sky Meeting
SteveLyric2 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Assuming he is racing somewhere over the weekend, if there is any reaction to his wrist injury then I'd prefer he carried on 'resting' it. He needs to be fully fit when he returns and start racing like he was a couple of months ago - same with Hans who has had his op today!! -
I never believe the club website averages - they hardly ever agree with the official BSPA ones - Poole included!! Many clubs try to update averages after every meeting which is laudible, but the only figures that matter are the BSPA averages which are updated officially every 2 weeks.

2017 Potential Signings
SteveLyric2 replied to poolebolton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It was a 2-year deal with the incentive of a testimonial, but with the condition he reached an 8-point average!! -
2017 Potential Signings

Agree - I doubt Chris Holder will ride here next year!! Personally I like the 'mid-reading'. It often means you can miss out the carp at the beginning and the end!! -
Where do you get that average from? Are you keeping your own spreadsheet, cos it still says 5.49 on the latest BSPA averages!? (I realise that doesn't include this week's score)

Belle Vue V Poole Elb 12/09/16 Sky Meeting
SteveLyric2 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
He could be!! Although the 'word' on Wednesday was that it was more likely to be Tuesday. I guess he will have some sort of test outing over the weekend and then see how the wrist reacts?! -
Poole V Kings Lynn Elb. 7/09/16
SteveLyric2 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Damn - thought I'd got away with it!!? All the local Poole councillors who were in attendance a couple of weeks ago - including the majority of the Planning Board - were being very vocal and supportive about requiring speedway to remain on the site. Of course they may also make similar noises about the dogs if they ever admit to being invited to the Greyhounds??!! The 'knack' will be to persuade Stadia UK to bring the stadium facilities upto par for both speedway and dogs, - which currently is exactly what Clarke Osborne has stated publicly will happen - whilst at the same time deciding where and how the 500 new flats will fit within the lorry park, part of the car park and the current offices plot fronting onto Wimborne Road. MF's main concern will be to ensure there is no, or only minimal, disruption to the continuation of speedway whilst any works go ahead. No plans have yet to be submitted. -

The '8-day' rule is surely to stop a rider guesting at the same track more than once in any 8-day period - unless its for your number 1. -
Yes a team with 2 number twos is bound to be over the limit - full of $#!t mainly. ;-) Particularly strange when MPT was signed for KL in 2012 - in the EL too!! Its almost that you might not know what you are talking about?! ;-)

So a decent crowd with standing ovations for riders from both teams all got it wrong then?! -
Poole V Kings Lynn Elb. 7/09/16
SteveLyric2 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
What absolute BS. Is this the 'manipulative management' that tracked two EL 2nd strings in place of 2 heat leaders yet still achieved a decent win with some cracking racing. All tracks are generally slick - or at least a lot slicker than in years gone by. Nothing to do with being 'manipulative' - its what the machinery is more suited to. Yes there are lots that have to be improved in British Speedway, but continually reducing the level to the lowest common denominator will see the sport disappear up its own backside. The quicker the other promotions get on board the better. Sorry FB what I meant was as we can only replace one 'injured' rider then it depends who declares them selves fit and proves it in time - the other having to stay 'injured' for the rest of the season!! Buzz could have the opportunity to prove himself next week?! -

I've had him on ignore for ages but others keep 'quoting' his posts. I'd stopped commenting on any of his posts but just reading through some of last night's and this mornings, the steam coming out of my ears would very nearly have earned me an expected ban!! I decided not to give the t**t the satisfaction. (replace the asterisks with any choice of letters to suit!!) -
Belle Vue V Poole Elb 12/09/16 Sky Meeting
SteveLyric2 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Rohan will doubtless be testing things when he guests on Monday, in readiness for his more important meeting 2 days later. So I don't expect a huge score from him - but all Pirates now have some experience of the NSS track so should make for an interesting meeting. (ps. Tungate only on 'standby' for Poole's meeting the following night at the AF Arena) -

Neither really - just to shut up - on every Poole thread!!!! -

SteveLyric2 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Just watched the meeting again on Catch up after seeing it live last night and being part of a decent crowd giving MPT and Eddie a standing ovation. Also been catching up with some of the usual post meeting comments on here. Just for Gavan, in the immortal words of Del Boy Trotter - " Shut up you t**t!!" (Just had to get that off my chest ). Gavan clearly glued to your screen last night, I hope you didn't run out of boxes of tissues. In other related issues, 7 points for each of our EDR's will do me. Carry on like that boys, no problem. Not sure if it will be Adam or Brady that drops to reserve next when BP goes up to the 1-5 again - more likely Brady!! . As for a replacement during the '7-day window' I guess there will only be one as otherwise Poole will have to re-declare which they will find virtually impossible with their current team average. With Hans' operation being deferred to this coming weekend I imagine it is his place under threat. Lots of names being bandied about up to a 7.15 average, and as mentioned last night Matt and Middlo have probably already got it sorted to be announced anytime after the 14th!! Buzz should be back next week unless Hans declares himself fully fit after the op, in which case a replacement for Buzz up to 6.50 will be the option.. -

Michael Palm Toft guests for Porsing tonite. Signing a number 8 was primarily to cover for missing Double-Uppers. Poole didn't have any and still don't as Ellis is an EDR! Signing a Number 9 was permissible to cover for a missing EDR - but we've coped without. -
Lakeside "squad System"
SteveLyric2 replied to speedwaysliders's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Can only use a guest for the remaining League meetings. They can sign a 'permanent' replacement for the play-offs if they make it - or use a guest from the bottom 4 clubs?! -

Tungate and Kennett for the Pirates with Holder making a late decision on his wrist, otherwise r/r.
