  1. He wouldn't do that Must of had a localised storm or 2... Spitting on and off 3 miles from track, just enough to wet the road.. It was so good of him to postpone it until Poole have their both their reserves fit
  2. Riders take a risk every time they take to the track. And the riders know that..... But there is not one rider that goes out in a race prepared to die to make that pass! If they all rode like you suggest they should, there wouldn't be many riders left walking.
  3. If the Stars had a fit 1-7 I, would go for a Lynn win , with Poole to maybe pick up a point. Lambo has said this week that he is only half fit, and is struggling with his health and fitness. But if he didn't come back now, he wouldn't be back for the rest of the season.. So thats one big minus for us. Who knows if Craig will ride, or if he does, will he complete his rides. I don't know if NKI is available if needed. But I expect both Robert and Cookie to say they are ready to go. If our 2 top riders can manage 18-20, I think the Stars will just nick it. Mind you Poole have a Lynn track specialist at reserve
  4. From Thursdays(5th Sept) Daily Star "Glasgow star Craig Cook faces a title blow if he loses his appeal against a ban. The GB skipper was freed to carry on riding after refusing to accept a 12 day suspension for his part in a brawl at Eastbourne last month. If he looses his appeal tomorrow week his ban could be increased, forcing him out of the end of season play offs" So I take it it's next Friday ?
  5. It's no secret that Cookie has a problem. I didn't say that Craig is suffering from anxiety and depression..... There are other mental illnesses. I never said either way whether Craig should ride or not..... That is up to medical professionals to advise him.... I never said if fans should or shouldn't "cough up" to "watch someone who is not fit for purpose".... Strange comment though I know mental health is serious...... I know it's not something you can switch on or off......... My reply was to jamlad, whose comments I thought was harsh.
  6. From someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, I can tell you Craig isn't big or tough...….Although he might come across like that sometimes. The mind is a very complex thing, Dr jamlad
  7. It's a shame that Ford won't spend the money to do it properly. As I have said many times before, you can't polish a turd. All Ford does is bodge it. He has been great for Poole over the years.... Because it was making him money. It was in his interest to do so...Now it's not !!! He just wants out, spending the least he can, while still trying to make Poole look a good punt for someone... Shame, but that's how I see it.
  8. The riders are self employed. You can't make them ride for any team they don't want to. And then there is the wages. Some might be able to afford them, some can't. Will never work.
  9. Agree. Hans could of put in a decent return tonight. 7+1 from 3 completed rides
  10. That old chestnut. Can't see him withdrawing his services, and no chance to earn, but it happens. It isn't doing him much good, I agree.. And Poole even less good You need 2 new reserves for the play offs.
  11. Your buzzing tonight Taps lol. I had bet on an away win, but fair play to your boys. It would of been a shame if you didn't make it after a great 2/3's of a season. Heeps did well, and that man Iversen, he's ok for an old un
