cinderfella 865 Posted August 30, 2018 3 hours ago, Skidder1 said: The updated rolling GSA's show Bomber 0.10 above Brady so subject to the final qualifying meeting v Wolves on Wednesday, Bomber could be at 1 for the 2nd leg of the semi-final on 1st October as well as for the final if we get there. Relieving Brady of the Number 1 position will do wonders for his 'its all in his head' issues and will undoubtedly work to Poole's advantage, notwithstanding the reserves staying as per the September GSAs. Just my opinion Can we swap Brady for Bombed (not a spelling mistake) at Glasgow please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get him on his Edinburgh bike - Unbeaten by an opponent in 4 meetings there and only a silly exclusion for falling in ht 15 against Glasgow cost him yet another maximum. Ba115 up of the season award goes to Glasgow for keeping Bombed and getting rid of Richie. Edited August 30, 2018 by cinderfella Spelling error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cinderfella 865 Posted August 30, 2018 1 hour ago, wealdstone said: One rumour I have heard is that teams will consist of only 6 riders I'd go with the present 7 but I think the reserves programmed rides should only be against each other with a start from each gate position. If there is to be any doubling up then it should only be with NL riders and get them some more track time against riders of a similar standard so as to not undermine their confidence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But its vicious circle, dont earn money cant pay bills.. Sponsorship money will only last so long, depending on how much you have. That said, appart from poole which has to be ridden a certain way, all the other tracks in the play off's including Somerset, which apparantly rides like a big track which is only a metre bigger than ours are classed as big tracks.

semion 2,192 Posted August 31, 2018 Surely Matt will cough up the dough to sort the lad out, if it means another Trophy ? He has never been slow to throw money to obtain success in the past Starman, so why not now ? I also see you Starman as a true Poole fan ( all credit to you) but also one who can be fair minded ( a bit like myself) and will call it as you see it. The Poole now, do you think its is good enough to win the thing ? Ok, any team of the 4 can win it 'on their day', But Poole have really blown hot and cold this season. What do you see as the key elements if they are to have a chance of winning it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His engines will remain under powered unless the club give him a engine better suited to bigger tracks, I don't think it is anything else as he is riding well in the championship and he isn't going to invest more money into his equipment for the play offs especially as I doubt he will be at Poole next season. It is up to Matt Ford to help him if we want to win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted August 31, 2018 I hope it is his engines but I'm not sure it is. Richie has always struggled at the NSS. Why do you think he is not riding for the Aces when he is an asset? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 31, 2018 He is far too slow. Its his bikes which are fine for Championship racing but he is too slow for the top flight. He needs a faster engine it is clear to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
