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.

With the Kent connection already at Oxford I'd take a stab mulford going there?

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. :t:

I think we are talking about different track alterations. 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.:t:

I did enjoy the bigger track, compared to the original narrow version.

yes quite agree like you said on a early post drew kemp should have been our second reserve .still we shall see:t:

Yes that is what I was trying to say but some seem to take it as I don't think Kemp is  good enough which is not correct. 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.

100% rent related. 

Seems greedy landlords again. 

Hopefully it gets sorted as losing Poole would be a massive blow.

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?
