But that's all they do now when an FTR reserve!! Doh!

So has Shovvy received his lifetime ban from all tracks for his persistent rule breaking using periscope? If not - why not? The evidence is there!

17 (paid 19) points from the Poole reserves shows how much of an advantage they have over other teams. Still don't know how Poole managed to sign both! Just as well the rest of the team decided not to turn up

Congratulations to Lakeside :t:

Surely he should be looking to ride in the PL rather than the NL??

And the sun's out!

Been a lovely afternoon - blue skies and a drying wind! Maybe a bit premature with the call off (with hindsight)

Bored! Does this really need discussing again?

Pity they don't apply it retrospectively!

How to make a story out of nothing. His tweet was @WolvesSpeedway don't you have a I phone in the club? It showed rain last 2 days! 3 hours wasted!

Just got back from this one and the best thing about the day - the sun was shining. As for the speedway, it was pretty dull. The key thing about the Roobins team is team spirit - well they must have drunk that last night because they were all hungover! It looked like Morris and Tungate had the most because I don't think they turned up. The other downside was that given the whole stadium - I ended up sitting nearby to Shovvy - don't know how that happened but he was doing his periscope thing with a voice like a fog horn that really was irritating. So not a great day really. Poole were sharper from the gate throughout and on the face of it, it looks like Watty is potentially the weakest link in the team and he rode pretty well! For the Roobins, Morris and Tungate were dire, Jason did well, Sedgmen deserved more points, Josh improved as the meeting progressed. Poole cleaned up at reserve although Charles was good value and Nielsen didn't continue where he left off last season. It was only the first meeting for the Roobins but remember most f them have been riding in Australia so they should have been sharper. When the team spirit returns (or they sober up) they should do quite well but they have a long way to go to catch the Pirates who deserved their thumping win. Superb racing and passing - really? Most of the heats were won from the gate and what little passing there was was coming out of the second bend or the fourth bend - although not too much of it! It was very processional on the whole and that's why the gap was so big - because no one was really gating for Swindon,

Looking forward to it - and hope Swindon can keep it close

It seems BV have finally realised what everyone already knew - it's off!

No clash with Plymouth now for Kyle

I see Plymouth have pulled out the league - so Stefan (and others) will be looking for new PL team! Sad news for speedway and I hope the riders get fixed up quickly.

Exactly

...and I'll make sure I get the bumper edition of the Speedway Star before I get there - don't want to feed the paperboy at Poole!

If the weather is good, will look to travel for this one. Pirates will be difficult to beat at home but it should be a good match. Won't be able to see the return at Blunsdon as going away for Easter. Up the Roobins

So it's Max and Richie's fault then?? The blame lies squarely with the promoters who have a very poor track record (excuse the pun) over the last 10 years and as I've said previously I hope it hurts them in their pockets as it did for all those who attended!

How can anyone blame the riders? The promotion are at fault for trying to run a speedway meeting on a track that had never been ridden before - stupid or what? The past few weeks the BV fans were gushing about their promotion and they put up with 10 years of a rubbish team because they were investing in the new stadium. Well I hope it hits the promotion where it hurts - in their pockets! Not really a fitting tribute to Peter Craven!

Another nail in the coffin for the farce that is British Speedway! BV promotion are an absolute joke!

Does it say that in the rule book - if not that loophole will be exploited (by Matt Ford probably)

Can only see a Poole win tonight - mainly down to the reserves and a double figure return from Hansi.

Like I said absolutely disgusting! How can a Polish club dictate who Nick Morris rides for while riding in the UK??? It's wrong!!

Absolutely disgusting that a rider signed to ride for a British team in the UK is allowed to ride for a foreign team riding in the UK on the same night. It is plain wrong and I don't really care about Nick having to keep Wroclaw sweet - what about Swindon and Somerset?? :mad: And I don't care if they are only season starting friendlies!!
