SteveLyric2 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think you will find at the time of the meeting,two EL heat leaders were replaced by two EL heat leaders Damn - thought I'd got away with it!!? for all the money and resources Matt Ford has, nothing comes close to having the say in what happens to the stadium. wait and see All the local Poole councillors who were in attendance a couple of weeks ago - including the majority of the Planning Board - were being very vocal and supportive about requiring speedway to remain on the site. Of course they may also make similar noises about the dogs if they ever admit to being invited to the Greyhounds??!! The 'knack' will be to persuade Stadia UK to bring the stadium facilities upto par for both speedway and dogs, - which currently is exactly what Clarke Osborne has stated publicly will happen - whilst at the same time deciding where and how the 500 new flats will fit within the lorry park, part of the car park and the current offices plot fronting onto Wimborne Road. MF's main concern will be to ensure there is no, or only minimal, disruption to the continuation of speedway whilst any works go ahead. No plans have yet to be submitted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poole keith Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 skidder i was in the restaurant that evening and one of the councillers jioned our table and he reckoned that of the total number of councillors invited around a third had attended.for many years the dogs have held an annual nite as part of the mayors charity,full up with councillors those nites.as i say i do believe the stadium is safe,obviously flats have to be built to pay for improvements(and help councils need to meet westminster building demands) always a fear that give developers an inch !!

Pirate Baz Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Got to heat 10 and gave up. Was there anything worth watching in the last 5 races? ..... and there wasn't a Poole or Kings Lynn rider in heat 10. What picture does that paint about Elite League Speedway today?

heathen chemistry Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 You are quite right but it is an opinion but it is a negative opinion in my view. In my opinion Jason Garrity hasn't improved this season after being in the British Final last year and still looks a little wild on the bike, but I am not going to say he has peaked or gone backwards and still is a talent. Jason Doyle is probably a prime example of having a few seasons for a while at reserve where he had to figure a lot out and now he is probably the best rider in the world at the moment. Tony Rickardsson also took time to bloom as did Hans Nielsen. Speedway is just one of those sports that is easy to learn but takes years to master and you don't know who will do great and who will be good. I expected Lewis Bridger and David Howe to finish a better rider than Tai Woffinden and there is still time for Bridger to do this and you can go further back to Mark Loram and John Louis who were a class act after lots of dedication to get it right. All the British riders still have time and hopefully injuries will stay away. Rickardson took time to bloom? debut british league 1990 world champ 1994 , hardly took time nielsen also was an instant sensation in the BL it was on the individaul front he didnt perform as well until mid 80's lewis bridger theres time for him to be better than tai? in whose lifetime, the guy is no where near committed as tai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the British riders still have time and hopefully injuries will stay away. Jason Garrity has improved this season. Holding a second string position with ease at Coventry and technically a number 1 at Sheffield if it wasnt for rolling averages. He had 5 points form 2 rides in the British Final and then got involved in a barging match and great race in his third before falling an injured in his 4th. Tony Rickardsson took no time at all to bloom. He first rode at Ipswich in the 1991 Billy Sanders memorial at the start of the season and finished runner up against a top field. Later that season he was world number 2, hardly took time to bloom!. Nielsen was dominant in the UK from the early 80's and by mid 80's on the world stage. As look as my bum points south Lewis Bridger will never be as good as Tai Woffinden. Mark Loram was very dedicated and only his gating held him back. His private life went off the rails a bit in the mid nineties and it affected his speedway. John Louis if he started earlier could have been world champ Rickardson took time to bloom? debut british league 1990 world champ 1994 , hardly took time nielsen also was an instant sensation in the BL it was on the individaul front he didnt perform as well until mid 80's lewis bridger theres time for him to be better than tai? in whose lifetime, the guy is no where near committed as tai 1991 Ipswich were national league in 1990, World runner up in same season so i agree 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starboy118 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Lambert was brilliant at the NSS recently perhaps it is the Poole track he doesn't like.As for the match I can honestly say I've seen better national league racing at Belle Vue than that last night. But haven't you heard? It was a wonderful match with lots of fantastic racing. It always is when you win by a very big margin!!

Bridger has wasted his undoubted talent but i always thought he was a better rider in his own mind. Mark loram was my favourite rider and we wouldn't have been so entertained if he could gate, it may have hindered him in the grand prix but a truly incredibly brave rider. !

Funny thing was that in 1987 (British League) and 1988 (national league) for Hackney ,Mark was pretty much the fastest trapper in the team. No idea why he didnt really continue this from 1989 at Ipswich onwards, but as you say it was great for the viewing public 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
