Bald Bloke

I just found an old autograph book and Bettsy was in there,so i had a look at his riding history. I had forgot how good he was 1966.......9.41 1st in KL averages 1967.......9.74 1st 1968 ......9.45 1st 1969.......9.35 1st 1970.......9.22 1st 1971...... 9.62 1st 1972......10.51 1st 1973.......9.95 2nd 1974.......10.32 1st 1975..... .8.87 1st 1976......9.71 2nd 1977......9.78 2nd 1978.....8.10 2nd Mr King's Lynn

If true,thats shocking..A top 80's rider,part of a tuning business..the mind boggles.....

I'm sure most Poole fans tipped Poole this season.I did in my Your 2017 prem winners thread".KK always gives more in a Poole race jacket".Not saying you won't.But it's no given.

More points in the bag for BV. Poole's guest didn't have a good one for Belle Vue,but Rye's Nicholls was true to form.

Or could of read.Should be 13 in a row against a team that showed no rider is bigger than any club.

Well done Craig Cook.

For such an important meeting for him,surely it's madness just to save a few hundred quid.

I don't know if there is a reason why he missed the hearing,but he ain't doing himself any favours the way he talks about the sport.The hole he started digging looks like its getting deeper.

I would of put Greaves in for Perks in heat 12.

Auty went ok

Lynn win with the Lions maybe getting a point..But hope not.

The power used to be a lot less.According to a riders Dad I spoke to a few days ago,it was the silencers that made a big difference.No probs for the riders hugging the white line,but not good if in the dirt. Don't ask who.

In that case I will change my prediction of a Wolves win,to a narrow win for the Pirates.

Should be gone,if that's the case. If Rathbone had a bung,then should be fukced off asap.poison to the sport

Got to go with Wolves.Not sure whats going on with Poole.With Fraud,you never know.

I cringe when Nige n Kelv say "theres a good crowd tonight" only to see the stadium deserted.Such a shame

Whats Pooles average gate this season..1,500?

I enjoyed watching that on TV.Second half livened up.Shame about the rain.Credit to the Lions for the fight back. But the attendance looked like a few hundred.Maybe some out of camera.

The heats after that looked so even,So with gates 1-3,with the riders on show,i think it was worth a shot.

Can't argue with that.But most seem to use it as a parade time.

I suppose its easy for us sitting at home.But under pressure when everyone's eyes are on you,not so easy.But......It's his job,and I don't think he had any better options in the 2 races after.Will be viewed as a mistake by most.

The teams crap.Better than they are showing at the moment though

I agree to a degree that his riders" weren't going".But as Kelv said they had 1-3,and the following heats didn't look any better.Seems like a nice bloke but nice don't cut it.

Siht happens

Just For Men must of been out of stock.
