Simonh Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Does anyone know when the hospitality information may be available? I'm taking my Dad to the Monday meeting against Swindon and want to give him a really good experience. Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrow Boy 2 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Just read on the BSI site that Zagar wanted to return but it was unable to be accommodated due to being given a 9.00 average. Why is this? When he last rode in 2016 his average was only 7.48. Edited March 17, 2018 by Barrow Boy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style is like bewleys but more boring if you know what I mean. Fricke looked best. Looked very fast Big year for Fricke i think he is capable of averaging well over 9 at home hopefully taking that confidence to away tracks.

Crazy isn't it,but i think all GP riders were given that average.Even more crazy when you think Poole have a couple of riders with even more out of date averages but they can keep them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly been done to affect teams who have low averaged riders ie Wolves and belle Vue. All GP standard riders with an average less than 8 who didnt ride here in 2017 were regraded to a 9, yet Vaculik is given an 8 which surely is the benchmark to treat all teams and riders fairly?? Another example of the blind leading the blind. Pawlicki (Wolves asset who if not wanted by Wolves seemed destined for Poole), Woffy (Wolves asset had spoken to CVS about a return due to fixed night racing) and Zagar (Aces rider who was keen to come back but another vetoed by the establishment) all targeted by the governing body. You have to feel if it was a promoters vote then both Wolves and Aces can feel victimised. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of it doesn't make sense.I assume because Cook,Holder and Doyle rode GB last season they would obviously keep their averages.As Iversen is above the average it doesn't seem to apply.Vaculik,i don't know.It's all a bit of a balls up really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Is it true Drodz is going to ride at No.4? Big mistake if true. No need for S. Worrall to be at No.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook will struggle this year imo. Lack of meeting's will get to him eventually. I know this sounds silly but I don't think qualifying for the GP's is going to help Cook. Hope I'm wrong because I like Cookie I just worry about his confidence being affected in 2018 due to struggles in the GP's and possibly limited Polish rides due to form outside of the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestGorton1884 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Here we go.....Just wondering, are Poole fans negative about every club or is it just BV ? In the space of a week.... "Fricke is under performing" "Drozdz will be a failure " Bewley is "over hyped" Now "Cook will struggle " far to early to be making any judgement on any rider from any team , IMO 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My assessment is more than fair. Every rider needs track time and if Cook gets dropped in Poland then track time will become an issue.

If you think Cook is going to be competitive in the GP's then you need a re-think. Not being nasty like I said I like Cookie but lets be honest he has no chance of being in the top 8 if Craig is competitive then he's done well.

I didn't say you specifically, and maybe Cookie is out of his depth in the GPs and the Polish Ekstraliga He's deserved this chance to test himself against the very best though , cant fault the guy, wish we had more riders like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
