Well thank goodness for that, no doubt every rider will be having a good old dig about in that area when the meeting eventually does go ahead!! Must have been dry when Gerald sorted 'the hole'?

Thanks Joe that's more the answer I wanted to read :-)

Yeah I guess Poland is like 50s British Speedway, I wonder if a few years down the line if it will go the way or our speedway too? So why do young Polish people flock to their speedways, because it's fun, exciting, cheap, the happening place, they want to support their local team? British promoters need to work harder eh!

Yep :-)

Bet their hole won't be sorted!

I'm asking if he was actually ever down to ride in the Olympique? I guess he was?

Riders are contracted til the end of October aren't they so no worries yet.

So should Tai have ridden in this meeting or not?

None of these young fans remember the days when u went home from speedway with muck in ya hair, up ya nose and in your ears let alone over your clothes lol

Not really when u only watch them on tv.

They know he only rides on Mondays!

Well? As long as they get the track right .....

Most of the Poole riders love racing at Lynn, didn't that have a bearing on the quality of the racing?

Just be grateful u get to see a round of the Championship in our lowly little speedway country lol

He thought he was OK though obviously.

Has the Poole track got the best base possible, ask Buster? Surely the dogs wouldn't mind if a bloody great hole was dug in your centre green over winter for drainage and the turf put back on, nobody would know it had been done come the start of the season?

So get ya flipping drainage sorted Poole, spend some of that money you get in from being the best supported team in the country to sort the most important asset to your club, the track! You had the track relaid and did nothing about drainage, come on!!!

Let's hope we have a dry Spring then!

Have to change that date next year to something like the 10-15th October to accommodate the wonderful Aus GP!! Agreed, no end of riders have complained about the Coventry track, they need to get that sorted too!! But blading the track should be a formality!! Stop making excuses for Poole's woeful mistake ...

Some of THE BEST meetings I have seen have been in October and March when the tracks hold moisture and are lovely and grippy Not to mention the dark nights as well

The main thing seems to be adequate drainage, any stadium that has a grass centre has no problem because they can just dig it up and put in soak aways. I've always thought that the covers need to be attached to the fencing so they slope down to the centre of the track and obviously further onto the centre green to stop soak back. As always with our tracks is the ownership problem but in lots of cases if the will is there? Poole for instance, centre green, council owned, easily sorted?? But it's always as if the Poole management aren't too bothered with the track, even their own riders have been very critical of the track, do Matt and Giles do getting their hands dirty, is that the problem?

It's just more of the same as far as I am concerned, another stadium, another GP .... wonder who is stumping up the money this time, for 5 years!! Melbourne people or the Aussie authorities?

Poole had no new shale/material available at the stadium. Do Poole EVER put any new material on their track?

I'm sure the BEL promoters would race during the World Cup if they could?

Really!!!!
