Well he should learn it at Plymouth then - or aren't you that familiar with other PL tracks?! Not Poole bashing?? But I bet you've put nothing on the Plymouth/Brady threads in the PL section?! No I thought not.............!!

Coventry Bees V Belle Vue Aces 27/05/2016
SteveLyric2 replied to Woz01's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Mick's entitled to call it off if its going to have a negative effect on his business!! ;-) -
Can any Aces fans clarify? I can understand why the NSS was designed without some sort of roof - despite the various fact-finding missions to Polish stadia etc - the key reason being one of cost I would imagine?! But did I not read amongst all the pre-publicity about the NSS during the construction stages that there were purpose-designed track covers being supplied?? Or have I imagined that?? Not a criticism at all - just a query. I think its a fabulous effort by all concerned.

Warnings - Why Not Public
SteveLyric2 replied to Star Lady's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
They do at most tracks away from Wimborne Road - well most tracks with a grandstand!!! -
Brady getting some extra racing in by joining Kyle and brother Todd at Plymouth. Good move with no Pirate fixtures for a month after next Wednesday v Swindon!!

Some people seem to be forgetting that there is still a Poole Stadium Redevelopment Scheme sitting in someone's desk/filing cabinet or whatever which is primarily awaiting both serious funding and the Council/leaseholder's approval. Whilst there hasn't been much in the local media about it recently, alongside Poole Council's plans to improve the town centre area, its still up for discussion. If there is any likelihood of such a development proceeding, then I wouldn't blame Matt Ford for not shelling out huge money to 'rip up' the track now. However there is still scope to smooth out the base in certain areas which does need to be looked at. Gerald Richter's request for better shale a couple of seasons ago was taken notice of and duly supplied, so he is listened to!!!

Warnings - Why Not Public
SteveLyric2 replied to Star Lady's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Surely Ref Jim Lawrence will have reminded (warned) all riders before the meeting that if they were adjudged to have been the cause of a heat being called back twice - then they would be d/q'd?! Usually its quite clear for the fans when the Start Marshall has a word with the rider after the first stoppage. While on the subject of warnings, I thought riders were not allowed back to the pit gate for any 'tweaking', after a false start? -
So after a later than usual night at Wimborne Road (enjoying the sponsor's hospitality) and a bit of a lie-in this morning, I thought I'd check on the thread and see if I would be surprised at (m)any of the posts?! The quick answer to that - is NO. Well done to Belle Vue - I personally congratulated Mark Lemon and Scotty at the end (I sponsored both when they rode for Poole) - much the better side on the night. It'll be interesting to see how S.Worrall (Sponsor's Rider of the Night!!) fares when he's in the 1-5 in June - yes I know he beat some decent riders last night too!! As for the track, it does need to be re-bladed to get rid of 'the waves' - whether it will be tackled in June remains to be seen!!?. Other than that and the overwatering (which was understandable after a day of sunshine and no rain!!!) I don't think there was too much wrong with the track prep. The 4th bend falls by Hans and Bjarne were caused as much by them taking the wide line into the wet heavy stuff, when they are both traditionally white line riders. The new pairings didn't help the Poole team either, but hey ho the world hasn't ended just because Poole have been beaten at home for once - fairly and squarely too. Just a final word about Kyle Newman.......His first proper meeting back after his injury and clearly he has lost a bit of race fitness as well as being a little tentative. He'll be ok, as will the Pirates when they bounce back. In the meantime, the knack for Matt and Middlo will be to keep the team in 4th spot whilst seeing what changes the averages will allow come August. If they can do that, then that's 'Magic'!!! :-) :-) ps. I predicted 43-47 so wasn't far wrong!! And my fantasy team did very well too - thank you both teams!!

Yeah but Cardiff has a roof!!

SteveLyric2 replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Shouldn't get too bogged down with the current Issue 12 averages. They will be revised again with this week's forthcoming meetings to become effective from 30th May!! -
Blimey, offering support for a Poole rider on a Poole thread and suddenly I'm anti-British??!!!! Only to be expected on the BSF I guess??! Incidentally congratulations to Max Fricke who also qualified! I shall enjoy watching him race at Poole on Monday too!! ;-)
