Like to know where your getting your information from? It's a 100% better than earlier in the season.  

Just generally.  Have heard that mentioned a number of times over the years in match reports etc, and also on a televised match (BT Sport or Eurosport) where they mentioned parts of the track to avoid and/or couldn't be raced full throttle on.  All/any of it secondhand info hence "reportedly" and "allegedly".  All tracks have imperfections, 3rd bend Ashfield was sorted out during the covid shutdown and break last year.

Like I've said it's a lot better now,  but it doesn't matter which track you talk about you can get them better and you never stop learning doing tracks eg new shale bikes ect.

Corners are probably a bit wider than Poole, but other than that pretty similar.

 

For us I think all going to depend if nowak can score in the away leg. Looked like an NL wobbler both away matches he's raced so far

I doubt any Polish rider would struggle at Poole, I am expecting him to go well at both meetings but whether he can beat Basso consistently is another question.

Where will you be in the stadium because I know your local track is Leicester, I have been there a few times and I don't think we have ever met although I have met Steve there on a couple of occasions.

What an absolute utter pain that this meeting coincides with COP26. Half the cities tourist sites are shut. A large area is cordoned off from the general public, and everywhere will be packed out making for a not very pleasurable experience. Might get to film a protest riot or something though. 

I suppose the best way to get to the stadium is by train to Ashfield, which is quite regular. Return gets us in at 10.25 meaning a rush to the bus station or a curry if one is still open for customers at 10.30. Mr Singhs closes at 10.30pm. Chaakoo Indian cafe is open until midnight and is central. We can take a taxi from there to the airport for allegedly £17. Will the taxis be allowed to hike their prices? Not officially but Sods law they will. 

All we need now is a cracking meeting.

Having COP in general is a giant pain in the arse!!! Whole city is basically locked out for it. I'm sure George Square will be the hub for all the protests, might be few Ned's having a go at them, usually a good laugh.

 

There's loads of buses might be more regular depending what roads are closed.

Hopefully we will have a cracking meeting, COP26  is a pain in the ass for everyone , even those of us that live outside Glasgow ( I am a mile away from the airport) I sit in centre stand under referee box, will say hello if I see you

Ashfield has a lot more banking on the bends than Poole.

Poole track is in the best condition it has been in for a long while. Smooth and allowing for plenty of passing. 

Too right, bend 2 is awesome for drive! Thing is tho I'm gonna change me nickname for it unless I use it as irony....

I'll either be sat with Steve & Rob or Mike & Alan. Either that or I'll be chewin on a hot dog & chips inside at a table (back straight) at about 645.

Any confirmed news on whether Jack Thomas is still guesting for Poole - after some on here reckoned his November average no longer allows him to (despite no average for him appearing on the updated BSPL website)?

So it does - its just been updated! Good to have the same 1-7 for both legs! Zach lodging at Middlo's along with brother Ben means he's been as much a part of the Poole team as riding for Plymouth with the added advantage that he has also partnered Ben Basso at reserve several times already.
