LisaColette Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 1 hour ago, Cookiefan said: Poole must be running scared if they needed a full practice before tonight's meeting, personally I think will be lucky to get a point as our heatleaders are inconsistent but we live in hope, will be watching the livestream They have had a few practice sessions over the season and I think it is because of not gating too well on home track. Polish teams have practice all the time so I don't see what the issue is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little cloud cover will help keep a bit of moisture in the track as long as it’s well watered but expecting dust and a blue groove by mid meeting. Regardless of practice, the team as a whole are not riding to their potential. Not sure what the main issue is but they are not clicking as a team. See a repeat of the Leicester meeting. The issue is 2 out of 3 HLs are riding well. (A different one struggles each time!) Our team is not built to carry a HL so that just puts pressure on Drew and the Cook boys. The away meeting at Berwick is the first time in a while all 3 HLs got 10 or above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the photos of the track prep on facebook this morning, there has been plenty of water put down. Whether the track can hold it in this ultra hot weather is the key - along with whatever they've decided to do with the starting grid?! Hoping that if Danny wins the coin toss he goes back to choosing 2&4 in heat 1.!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home to Berwick, Heat leader's rides 14 Heat Wins 3 plus one paid Win. Away to Edinburgh, Heat leader's rides 14 Heat Wins 4 Away to Berwick Heat leader's rides 15 Heat Wins 7 plus one paid Win.

We have riders practice various times throughout the season since track always available to them. Was clearly tongue and cheek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Danny King will be keen to take your advice, what does he know after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
