yeah I had some in there

excellent issue, but personally just a bit disappointed

do you honestly think Scott had intentions to ride this year? I'm not saying it was forced on him, but it was out of necessity as there are no replacements available for Kyle Hughes. and you won't see him all season, much much less in fact some clubs try treating the league as a breeding ground for the future, the 'stand alone' clubs have other priorities

then you'll start getting the 'not value for money' posts

I like the colours of the new suits, very smart .. Chris is waiting for his from Maliniak

I'm not so sure that was getting home, I've a feeling the jury meeting after the meeting made it a long night and the doc was staying local

Jordan Jenkins used his

the Poole track was excellent back in the 80's, great shape and size with plenty of dirt .. the newer shape could be good too, but needs a lot of work

Testimonials always take longer than a regular meeting, lots of presentations and interviews, lots of extra photos, support races etc, so it was expected. I saw some good racing today though, so came home happy

certainly not the track it used to be, but he has admitted he needs someone there to look after it properly, he's had to spend too much time sorting other things. my favourite tracks in the UK are Peterborough and Somerset, proper racers tracks

I have to give you credit for being perceptive, you're totally correct that Kings Lynn is NOT on the south coast. BUT, I believe Kings Lynn DID get the heavy rain that swept across the east coast

Belle Vue was a new track and the unknown how it would react, Poole has been there for years and still doesn't get any better. My guess is Matt isn't paying out for track work as he won't be there to benefit from it. So if it stopped raining on Thursday morning before a Friday evening meeting, I'd suggest you need new track staff. Had the Young Stars P&P on Wednesday, absolutely threw it down with rain, but Buster said if it stops he'll take the surface off so the team could get laps in. Instead we came back on Thursday and the track was perfect

it's attitude like that that gets clubs closed

when was the last time the track had rain on it prior to Friday evening then? I'm sure if you knew the track was iffy and the track manager knew too, but travelled, you would be bleating about it calling it a shambles - the same as many Poole fans did last year with Belle Vue

was there any track work done between Wednesday and Friday? anybody know?

so for arguments sake, say you'd decided to travel from Poole to Glasgow for the Ben Fund, but that the meeting got called off or abandoned, you'd be happy to 'let it go'?

I wasn't at Poole last night, but I was at Belle Vue for the Peter Craven Memorial last year, but despite that I feel more disappointed about last night. Poole is an established track and the staff should KNOW when a track isn't fit for riding. Belle Vue was a first, the unknown. But Poole still happily took the money from all those supporters that travelled from up and down the country. Reading back on the Peter Craven thread from last year, there are some wonderful comments from Starman regarding what went on, I wonder what his explanation will be after this?

probably gone with Kurtz for his track knowledge

results are hard to call, but the racing is normally superb

Swindon to me look favourites. Kings Lynn strong too. It's all about avoiding last places while it's viable it makes it saleable. he would be mad to try to sell it when things have gone t1ts up, so don't be too cocky about things.

I don't think Scott had any intentions of riding!!!
