Pirates Of Poole 759 Posted January 18, 2018 I would have thought Linus would be available on a 6.64 average due to the fact he hasn't raced here since 2012 when he got his 7.22 average. 8% discount should apply same as Mateusz. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There lots of people that come on here tthat all they want is to win ive been going to poole all life and i have felt like that speedway first winning second and i think your the same onward and upward !!!

I thought those reductions were only due when seasons were missed through injury and 'cant be arsed' isnt an injury in my book 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mateusz average was a rolling average. Nice try though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's particularly annoying when you don't actually read the post you're replying to. Like I said, winning isn't everything, but it's the best part for sure. More importantly, winning is what brings the money in. Without the money you'll have no sport left to enjoy. I've been a supporter of the pirates for 20 years. And the fact that people get great delight in us failing is great! You win some and you lose some. If us losing lights the fire in your belly then we're doing a good job. There is a difference between manipulating the rule book and getting the most out of the rules. Understanding the rules and working out how to use them to your advantage is almost as important as the racing itself. And the very same philosophy that Ivan Mauger lived by.

Did you ever watch Mauger ride at his peak and in his later years probably not ???? don't even mention Ivan in the same light as Poole speedway .If you have been a supporter for twenty years you would of seen some good days and bad surely you are not that thick to believe you can win every year try to be realistic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Connor 351 Posted January 18, 2018 I see Bjarne Pedersen is riding in the ben fund meeting without having a team place. Maybe he is a b choice? Whats his average. Is it Championship league friendly too? Just weird riding in a meeting with not having a team place? Unless us kings lynn fans are getting a little over enthusiastic expecting to have niels announced at our fans meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
