Boring - I was hoping for something a little better then that from you - considering how long it was for you to reply.

I have told you before - I have nothing to do with who the club signs or not - so irrelevant point in regards to Ellis.

Thanks for the compliment!

Have a great day. 

Best of health to you.

There was a rumour last night that Adam Ellis left because they couldn't afford him, can't see that myself I would think there are other reasons why he went.

May be that' explains why it wasn't announced as a short term signing?

Sounds a bit strange the pit crew didn't notice a bent chassis after a crash. Is that why he got a 4th ride? 

Stranger that the rider didn't notice. Forgivable for the re-run but 2 extra rides to clock that the handling is off is a little bit green. Everyone knows that Pearson is likely to come good but it also appears that its currently a year or two early?

I didn't notice, I doubt many in the crowd would have noticed. My point is that surely you would check the chassis after a crash.

He was in heat two and then straight out in heat 4 - while re fueling - clutch fan - change the edge etc - there is a lot to do in a very short period of time - yes you are right they should of picked it up but they didn’t.

I am sure if it was you - you would of picked it up straight away.

Shame Ellis Perks not riding coz he would've been a good signing for Brummies engine room. He knows Perry Barr inside out. He's a personal trainer last I heard.

Would be great if he could be tempted back but I guess he still wants his money that he reckons he's owed by Leicester?

Way forward....replace Vissing and keep the guest facility for Auty.

Morris needs to up his game....his performances are not good enough....10 points from his last 4 meetings ???

Replace Vissing with whom exactly??  Incidentally with the June Greensheets now available it'll be slightly more difficult to get a decent guest for Auty.

PS Kemp stays at reserve for Poole by 0.02 less than Ben Cook!!:t:

Good for Kemp I think. Another month of not too much pressure. I think maybe put Ben at 2 to give him H8? Even if that is just in away meetings, to take the pressure off a bit.

Maybe maybe ot but 3 extra rides before it was picked up is worrying. If a spare stands there and the bike needs longer to inspect then use the spare. Its far from an aeasy job as rider or mechanic but sometimes it has to be a simple hands up and x fell short of the mark tonight. You would be amazed how supportive people are of honesty in the sport and how poorly they reactive to defensiveness and bull flop......the Brummie promotion/management would do well to acknowledge that too.

Drew Kemp, who has shown this season what he is capable of. Should be in the top 5 next GS? 

if it was just 2022 averages he would be, but rolling he has another month at reserve

Ben Cook was very good last night. Always forcing and made a super double pass in one heat. Drew keeps on improving. Spoke to his sister yesterday who said he feels very at home at Poole, loves the setup, Middlo and other riders and is very happy being here. Lives in Ipswich but drive doesn’t bother him at all.
