lbw Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'm travelling down to Poole on Thursday on train as per norm. South Western Railways (from Waterloo to Poole) must be about the worst rail company in the worrrrrrld! All the usual electric failures, signal failures, rail replacement bus service rubbish, so this time I'm avoiding like the plague! Going on a mystery tour via Gloucester & Dorchester. May help anyone who travels by train from anywhere for this meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are driving up tomorrow, me and Rob are being lazy and flying up. You and Rob going in style. Thought Matt would've let you have the private plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Im gonna go up around midnight tonight and spend day there. Flight was £75 return. Train in comparison was over £200. We are dossing at airport but not likely to get any sleep. We are in the grandstand. Come and join us so we can make some noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it though. marcin told me that he had rode there a few years ago in a under 21 meeting he thinks he scored 5/6 point and he also remembered the track was pretty bumpy going into 3rd bend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Surprised someone hasn’t lost their bottle and run one over to be honest. Just a matter of time before there’s a flattened leg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxton, oh my Buxton was awful for anyone on a motorbike......get into one of those white stone ruts and that was game over! But anywayz........ Personally I have only used the car park once, always park in shopping centre car park now and walk. Bad enough having to walk through it! I thought the track was good last time though, more passing than I can ever remember at Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, just something I've never really been bothered about. Maybe coz I shell out enuff as it is for tv speedway and also attending speedway all over the UK. Rather save me money to actually attend. And please, this is not a pop at streaming as it serves a good purpose, just not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
