Bald Bloke

For me, the worst thing about British speedway on TV is the crowds. It's sad to see.

He will probably be next, even though he started on 3.36, and has averaged 4.40 in his first 4 meetings. I can't see the attraction of riding for Poole myself tbh. Tick tock

You have 5 riders going who are currently riding better than their average. I'm pretty sure Lewi will get going soon.. Feel a bit sorry for Marson myself.. Unless he asked to go. Riders GSA at the start of the season.. Averaging after the 1st 4 meetings Lawson 9.17 9.40 Cook 6.23 8.40 Rowe 6.11 8.47 Thomsen 4.41 5.07 Starke 3.36 4.40

No pressure on these young ones

Don't they have a tap somewhere ?

I thought is was 40, according to Speedway GB. Unless i'm missing something.

According to Speedway GB, Kerr rode 13 meetings in the Champ in 24. He averaged 7.09 in those meetings. But as you say his rolling average was higher. He came to Poole on 7.76.

I'd give Lewi more time as well. He's started well for Sheffield, only 3 meetings, but averaging 6.91. Hes only 4 meeting in. He's averaged 8.00 for Poole at home, and 3.50 away, and he had bike trouble in 1 of them. So it's his away form that he needs to improve on. I'm pretty sure it will come. He averaged around 8 in the Champ away from home last season.

That's an old excuse

You put pressure on ever rider from day one.

That's about it.. Terrible prep, that hindered Ippo.

It's a shame, but Ashton had this shutting off when things got close a lot last season as well. Obviously he and his team know the problem, and must be trying to fix it. But as i posted back in October, if he can't fix it himself, a sports psychologist might be worth a try. In his last home meeting, he won 2 races, and was buzzing going back to the pits. But he did run 2 lasts... He also was at the Young Stars meeting last week, so i think he still loves the sport, but is a young man very frustrated with himself at times. The longer this goes on, the harder it's going to be to overcome it. I don't like to drop a young local lad, but maybe stepping down from the Prem, and doing the Champ and NDL might help him re gain his confidence.

I've heard it said that a daytime summer meeting, needs water the day before, and starting again at around 4am as needed on race day to keep the moisture in the track. Not an easy task to get in right i'd imagine.

The track caught the Ippo boys out early doors, i'd say. Sounds like the track man was caught out by the weather as well, crap track apparently.

Ippo will come on strong at the back end of the meeting for the win.

On the other hand, not so good for our No.1

I'm thinking a little wider. But it's a day time meeting, and it's really breezy, so im leaving it alone.

He ain't the fool some think he is. Just likes to act like one. I think he realised the post was looking to sensible

She's 13-14👍

Poole 100%

I think we will do well if we can hit 38 myself. Dan T 3 points, seems a bit low. Kvech and Klindt have been bad away so far. But i expect Nicoali will be ok if he make a few starts, especially at 6. I'll go a bit wider at 55-35👍

Unfortunately for us, Leicester is the only team not riding next Monday. So looks like it could be RR, or Howarth, or Kemp , in that one. Unless theres a Cook miracle, as Starboy was told, i think we will go with guests or RR until Cook is back.👍

I'll have a small one on 11-15 points win @ 4.33, and 16-20 points @4.00, and hope one comes in. 👍

Haven't seen the Winning margin option before. I must of missed it lol
