Implicit in your thesis is the assumption that a smooth track cannot have overtaking. This is obviously wrong, so the rest of your argument is invalidated.

Huh ?

From Wolves site. No Sam Masters tonight, his partner is due to give birth. Wolves have applied for R/R.

If Poole finish top, then over the course they will have been the best. Unfortunately that not guarantee any trophy.

Morris at Swindon A match 5 (from 4), B match 7 +1 (from 4).

If you had said to me at the beginning of season that by September that Becker would be equal to Morris in the averages I would have been astonished. Now Becker has had a good season and I have been pleased with his overall progress. But Morris has still had a disappointing season, probably due to his early season injury. Mind you, that should be a handy average for next year, if we can keep him out of Swindon's clutches.

Well you could look at it this way, the home fans are already used to that time and attend on that basis. As for my own case, for example, I would still have to have an afternoon off to go, so the hour earlier start doesn't really make any difference. In fact it would earlier on the road back home ! I suppose the issue might be getting new home fans to come at that time.

Peter Adams has won it with 3 different clubs, Coventry, Cradley and Wolves.

You do know Starman had a serious medical issue ?

I think that may be an inappropriate comment in the circumstances to be honest. But not defending Starman to be clear.

To be fair Steve, FB is probably the most reasonable and fair Pool poster.

So the best riders in the world don't ride in the UK because the tracks are small ? I don't think so ! Everyone knows it is because it is not worth the effort for the money on the table .

'agreed' usually means both sides saying yes, which did'nt happen here.

Nearly forgot.......come on ye Wolves !!

Agreed, you need a brain, throttle control and the ability to turn the bike at Monmore.

With sudden Sam behind him at Monmore, he's going nowhere.

With a tac sub and making the gate, it can turn round so quickly

Long way to go, no chickens being counted.

He reared going down the back straight do that was probably then the problem that the problem occured. Got to say it was a great third ride when he passed Thorssell on the outside on bends 1 and 2. Not a common event !

What do Swindon 'gain' by 'letting' Ipswich win ?

Merely getting the bad meetings out of their systems prior to Thursday !

Slight correction to this. When I say friend I mean more of a passing acquaintance, really. LOL.

A friend of mine pointed out the following, which is noteworthy. From heats 10 to 15, which is 6 heats, Erik Riss rode in 5 of them, only missing heat 14. A remarkable feat of fitness !

If nothing is equal to the NSS then you are in the ultimate position, you don't have to travel very far to see the very best racing (allegedly). Racing is crap everywhere else and you don't have to go !

Thought you would be glad not having to watch 'drivel'.
