Maybe heâs trying to drop his average for next season so he doesnât end up on the not wanted list like abblitt, kemp, roweâĤ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatâs the fault of the lowering of the points limit year on year not the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 Teams who win leagues in the main are better than the others. Inevitably passing will be at a premium on home tracks. Ashfield is A1 as a track. Shawfield was brill for atmosphere superb double double seasons live with me forever.Many a meeting was no passing as Glasgow were so good then . Not many complaints about passing then. I am sure most fans want their riders to be first and second out of the 2nd bend . Complaints about standard of racing tend to come from losing teams support 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 (edited) Well that was one sided as we expected. Big crowd tonight on a very warm evening. Huge queues at the bars. As for the meeting, shame Glasgow are so weak really. No competition for the rampant Pirates. Harris battled and Ivacic  gave some backup, but the rest were poor. A surprise 5-1 over the Cooks in heat 3 the highlight for them. But take a bow Vinnie Foord. Coming on leaps and bounds with 8 points tonight, backing up his fine efforts at Glasgow and Workington. He thanked his new sponsors who have helped no end. This has to be countered with Sam Hagon going the other way and struggling to find points, after they came easy earlier this season. Tobias came back a week too early and wasnât on any real form though picked up paid 5. He starts at reserve with Ford next week with Hagon going to two. Sam might end up with three rides unless he picks it up. Richard Lawson was sublime. Full 15 point max and only led by Ivacic in one heat. Cook started slow but improved and topped off his performance with a last to second, passing Harris and Ivacic off the 4th bend in heat 15. Tom Brennan continued his great form dropping only 1 point. Glasgow perhaps did better than many expected. Harris loves the Poole track and it showed again tonight. But he found it too hot against Pirates top guys. Ivacic the best of the rest. Garrad way out of his depth, expected more from Pearson and Flint. Smith is a reserve and Barker is nowhere near the rider he was. On to Scunthorpe next week and a break from the league I believe with the first leg of the K O Cup.

Sam is still a bit bruised from his crash a couple of weeks ago but needs to get his set ups correct ( hey Mr Dugard) Loved Ben Cook's pass from last to 2nd in heat 15. Boom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and disagree, Poole had abblitt for the full season without dropping him even though he didnât score many points, then they left him out the following year didnât make sense. Rowe and Kemp had good seasons with Poole they increase there average and then not needed the next season. No disrespect to anybody but youâve got the likes of frederiksen hardly improved since heâs been at Edinburgh, heeps been on the way down for the last few seasons but keep on getting picked thatâs the clubs fault for signing these journeymen imo.

Wonât get journeymen at Poole. Personally would have kept Rowe. Could see the potential and he is showing it now. Going to be a good rider. Kemp cooked his goose with a tantrum at the playoff final at Kings Lynn against Leicester. Pi55ed off Danny Ford and that was that. Kemp is certainly showing his improvement and always has a point to prove at Poole. Would have been a far better guest than Barker. Â Just needs consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anders and Kyle Newman were in Poole's original proposed 1-7 until Tom Brennan made himself available in a phone call to the Ford's, which changed everything for the better it seems.
