Gavan Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 To be fair 5-6 years ago Poole was up there probably in the top 5 tracks in the UK, but in the last few years is been nothing short of a joke and at times dangerous. If the work that has been done gets it back to the old standard then that can only be a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the straights are also cambered then it should be fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poole Quay 7 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 You know better than me Starry about track work etc but why wasn't the track done earlier so it could actually bed in so to speak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate, i dont know why, thing is the boys need to put the four wheel blade round every week on a match day, that will smooth it out, then you can do what you like with it. Sadly we lost the road grader a few year ago, but the Four wheel blade will do a simular job. takes about 45 mins to an hour to do it properly, working from outside to inside, then back round the opposite way once on the inside, As far as the digging up of the track is concerned that has been done several times in the last few years, but if they stuck the blade round every week you would pretty much eliviate the humps and bumps. digging up the start into a potato patch doesnt help. The matierial you have is also very important, Red shale binds better than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im actually seperating from my wife and on 25th January moved into new accomadation which at the moment doesnt have internet connection set up. Been a stressful time as i have 2 children and being apart from them even for the odd night is very strange and not easy to get used to. So pretty much ive not had much time or desire or the means to actually get on the forum much. Some Poole fans have mocked me in the past for the fact i only go Ipswich 4 or 5 times a season as i put my family first, well im sure they will be happy to know ive got more chance this season for obvious reasons.

You're a bit touchy Gav - almost as if you were expecting one?! - although I guess with what you've got going on you're entitled. Hope things improve for you although not quite sure why you're telling everyone on a Poole thread?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmauger Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Going to speedway has helped me forget about for a short while and deal with many a tough time during my life. Sometimes it seems you just keep getting kicked and you gotta find your own way to deal with it. But, life goes on.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainlesssteelride Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) My wife left me, best day of my life. My life is now so much better. No kids involved though, so just a stroll in the park. Don't let it get you down Gavan. Your kids will still love you.

But sadly cost will come into it, untill they are 16, depending on his circumtances it wont just stop there. Rightly he will have access to them on a regular basis. In this day and age i am very happy to be single. Ive had enough Hassle to last me a life time, i wouldnt want any of that. Gav will move on eventually, but its going to take time, im sure seeing the kids will help. Chin up Gav. Think its best we get back to Speedway now.
