Quite why, I don’t know. However, I know most of the mechanics and can confirm it wasn’t any of them. I can also confirm it wasn’t Matthew Ford as he doesn’t get his hands dirty. Also the oil on the track was too dirty to be speedway engine oil. Agree. No way was it out of a speedway engine. Way to black. They hold less than 1 litre and are changed after around 4-5 races at a guess. That oil on the track was a few gallons I would say. Ford is missing a trick chucking oil over the track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally know and have worked with one of the “new owners” and, I can tell you the contract he has in place will be as tight as a drum and he will only pay for what he needs in terms of access etc. Really, id want more access than that if you have a stadium where its used for bugger all else.. Not sure i would believe that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure Poole's riders will say exactly what they are told to in a press conference You are right, I wasn't there, I wouldn't put money into your promoter's pocket if his track was the last one on earth. Oh no if the track is crap, Brady will say so!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not what 500 people queuing outside from 17:30 would think. I’m sure they would love to sit and admire the newly laid track. It’s almost certainly down to “rental” costs of the stadium. Whichever way you try to dress it up, the same will apply to any stadium that is not owned by the operating club (including BV). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW 6.36 is correct....Check the Speedway GB website 30.05.18 averages when Richie came into the side....Clearly says 6.36...I’ll give you NK at 5.78 so an increase to 43.84...Still nowhere near 46.5 is it.

I have been to all tracks many times. The shape of the Poole track is good, there is passing off every bend and its fast racing. The Belle Vue track is excellent and new with great design. A shame the idiot who planted out Leicesters track got it so wrong. Kings Lynns track used to be decent but has gone completely to the dogs. Nearly always gate and go bar Lamberts blasts. Swindons is dire gate and go. Somerset can be decent at times but often very average. Wolverhamptons toy trick track is bloody awful. Yes I am aware it’s down to personal taste but for people who haven’t seen the Poole track after it’s upgrade, they are just haters for the sake of hating. Not changed that much imo,just got that little bit smaller over the years.If Lambert can overtake what is it that stops other riders doing the same.If one can do it proves it can be done,it's down to the other riders to follow Lamberts lead.

No, you have to look at Richie’s end of 2017 average. #Poole46.5ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t work like that. Only a few riders have the ability to make passes. Lambert, Harris, etc. Most just can’t get by, hence follow the leader.

But that wasn’t the average he came in on as his average dropped this season before he was signed up. His average was current. Like saying Morris is being dropped at Swindon and we bring him in. Then you quote his average from the end of last season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re missing the whole point, which is that Swindon have their original 42.5 point team while Poole have a 44.74 one, based on the season’s starting averages. #Poole46.5ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
