STEVEHOLS54 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Just read Oxford announcing last 2 riders at 7 a.m Thursday. May well give us a better idea of our number 7 IF they announce one of Ablitt/Mulford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyfan Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 8 hours ago, Bagpuss said: The speedway track was changed considerably in 1995/96 IIRC, I went a couple of times in the early nineties and while it was a fast and spectacular track it was very narrow with little room, its much wider now. I assume the football club vacating allowed the changes to happen. It was mid way through the 1990 season….The Track was moved out to where the dog track is/was because the football pitch had to be widened as Poole Town had gone up a league and the pitch had to be wider to meet the league requirements. It was all done in a week or just over too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole Town left after the 94-95 football season and the track changes I'm referring to were done in time for the 1996 speedway season and were possible because there was no longer a need for a football pitch on the grass infield meaning the white line was taken in.

That’s when they moved the track back to where it was originally and the dog track was reinstated but they made it wider by bringing the bends in as there was no football anymore. Which is how it still is now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kemp has a lot of potential and will win races but I think making him the stronger reserve is putting too much pressure on him as this stage in his career.

Hopefully it gets sorted as losing Poole would be a massive blow. On 12/20/2021 at 4:40 PM, Trackerman48 said: Don't know where you get your information from? But not right. Do you still maintain the delay in announcing the Poole team is not rent related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rent BUT the time it was something else which was sorted out it was not all about just rent. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Liked the old Poole track layout which allowed you right up close to the action - which added to the spectacle. Always enjoyed the old Canterbury track which allowed you to get up close to the action and the flying shale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
