Just feel that he has not pushed on as one would expect. Really had it all to be the next best Swede after Lindgren & Jonsson but hasnt quite got there. Yet that is. Ultimately POL/SWE form means nothing as its what he does here that will be what he is judged on. Wasnt aware of the new help he has (you are closer to the pits talk and gossip then I can ever be). Hope he does keep up his recent UK form as he can gate but needs to be consistent. On his day he is VERY good. Josh is a good steady team man who may fall just short on being a heat leader but he has been good for Poole over the years and hopefully will be that Mr Steady we need just like all teams need one. Plenty of experience and good to help bring younger riders along. An Aussie in effect with no baggage Our wins dont have to be massive wins. Any win good enough for me although with a much tighter top 4 situation we don't want to hand too many BP away to teams around us. Could be important in that final calculation come season end. Still plenty to play for as many of the teams seem capable of beating each other week in and week out. Just want us to stay in the mix. Yup, Josh is a better rider than he's been showing, just watch the final in 0-15 for example. That said, his points scoring is about what it should be, 789. per meeting. I just feel with him he's a little bit laid back, a little like Leigh Adams was but he was a far better rider as we all know. Sometimes i feel that Josh is not agressive enough, and could improve further if he became that little more aggressive. I was impressed with his attitude on Weds. Yup as you rightly say, Linus could have been one of the top Sweds, but for one reason or another he's not gone on, but if he keeps doing what he's doing for us now we will all be happy. Yup a wins a win, no matter by how many, and i think providing they all stay sound there's a lot more to come. when, we make the play off's, then it becomes a different kettle of fish, but as you know, the club know how to win...

Dont remember you mentioning it at the time tho. Anyway, hope they get it sorted. Nope this all came to light later. You cannot take it up once its down you can but would cost a club a fortune to take best part of it up and re-lay the track, ask the other clubs who did the same thing. Nobody at club levels fault. I dont know anything re Glyns departure and whatever his reason im sure he wont put it on here. . When we had that heavy downpour on that tuesday night Glyn did his best to turn the track round. But as i said, and im sure any track curator will back it up, proper red shale will hold the water and soak it up so you can turn it over and eventually it will dry out. providing you also have a drying wind. sadly this stuff didnt and for some reason went right the way through. You learn all the time, and hopefully things are well on there way to being rectified. Edited June 15, 2018 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the material that was obviously garbage and that one could easily see wouldn't bind was laid anyway by knowledgable track men? Nobody at fault? Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps no one knew what to look for, but someone with knowledge of geotechnical materials could have seen it easily. Which was my original point about the state of British track preparation. It's done the way it has always been done (at best) and has not moved on in line with current expert knowledge in the field. Edit. Not a dig at Poole and their track but a comment on the whole sport.

The few posted as you say but if you can’t (legally or otherwise) back it up with detail it just creates rumours and assumptions. “You will not believe what I have heard!” “What?” “Can’t say!”. Thus creating the effer’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, Poole screwed up their own track in an incompetent manner, but they are no generally better or worse than the rest of British speedway in this area. The wider point wasn't a dig specifically at Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who applies for a UK work permit/visa needs to have their application 'sponsored' or supported usually by the employer before it can be processed. It also requires no other 'complications/objections/issues' to be part of it. The employer for the GPs is BSI who I am told submit a 'block' application for all GP riders. That may not be 100% correct but its part of what I'm told! Surely a sportsperson VISA for a one off event (uk sports event visa) has a totally different set of criteria to a work permit/working VISA. Not sure why people assume not being eligible for the latter would preclude eligibility for the former. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
