b/vue & swindon also have good team suits lets see if wolves & poole can manage it ?????????????

Poole are sticking with race jackets for the time being - just as they did when winning the title last year.

The Promotion have fully explained their reasons behind this decision at last week's fans forum.

Sad really when you see a club like Poole who once had the reputation of signing all the top riders and being the one club allthe big guns were desperate to ride for.  Probably the most professional run club for a good number of years.  Now reduced to looking like Ragbag Utd.   Couldn’t the Poole fans on here set up a crowd funding to buy some team Kevlars.  The likes of Shovvy, and his love for Piratesshould be good for a few K

How about it Steve ?

New co-promoter Danny Ford explained that there was the chance of a new sponsor set to fund team kevlars but the deal fell through at the last moment - BUT hasn't ruled them out for the future as they are still seeking new sponsors..

It must be expensive to fund 14 kevlars over the season for the merry-go-round of the pie rats :wink:

In 1998 teams wore suits over their kevlars... couldnt they do the same. Ipswich and Coventry had their own kevlars though, think other teams did too. If a guest was needed then they wore the spandex onesie!

I’m amazed a ‘tight T-shirt’ sort of concept hasn’t taken off. That looks much better for guest riders and would be a much more affordable way for the lesser clubs than race jackets, whilst looking better too.

Good news (relatively) then

Tough start to the year when you have such machinery woes

That's good to hear.

He was being chased very hard by Richie Worrall and tried to cover his run round the outside of bends 1 & 2, unfortunately he got the exit all wrong and bailed off just in time at high speed into the fence at the start of the back straight.

More like he hit another pot hole and gripped then bailed out

How strange?! I thought it was only Poole's track that had potholes!!??  (Incidentally Josh G said at P&P he hoped any holes were still there at Wimborne Road as it gave a good home advantage!!):rolleyes:;)

Can’t see his confidence being boosted enough to do well tomorrow at Wolves. 

Just looked at his scores there for Swindon the last 2 years, they were 3, 4, 5 from 5 rides and his last visit last August was a big fat Zero from 3 rides. 

Clearly another of the small tracks he hates!

Lets hope he bucks the trend and surprises us tomorrow with a good score..
