And in the main, you will get that next season. many riders are of simular abillities. In a racehorse handicap, if you have 10lb between top and bottom over 7f on decent grd the lightlyhood being they should all finish in a heap If you have a simular senirio of the averages you will get a simular result. Dont worry aboutwhat they say on here it will be decent racing. I dont bother replying to the majorirty on here its not worth the typing time or effort.

Expand On what do you base that assertion? In the CL you have 2 pointers racing against a 10 pointer (Craig Cook). In the PL you have 3 pointers racing against a 9 pointer (Jason Doyle).

Mediman Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Everyone looks at things differently . For me at least we have speedway . The club was up for sale and nobody came in , as a sponsor for a few years now I could not see a way of making it work and I completely understand why Matt decided to open up a new business opportunity, however he could have just closed it down but didn’t giving us fans a chance to watch the sport we love. Now it’s up to us to support it or if we don’t then accept it could be the last we see of it. the sad thing is that the sport as a whole needs a revamp or the closure of clubs will continue. whoever you support just keep it up Save our Speedway 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering how much money Poole lost last year and then you tell Poole fans they shouldn't bother going?? I hope Swindon don't have a year like that, otherwise they would be completely screwed!

In the 'eighties, the Fearman regime had ground the (big league) club into the ground, the track was awful and entertainment nil.
