Lidsey signed for Belle Vue on a 4.00 average. At home excluding the 4 bonus points Jaimon has scored 11 points from 12 rides. Below his 4 point average. Away from home excluding his single bonus point Jaimon has scored 12 points from 18 rides. Again below his 4 point average Stats are above. I'm right and you're wrong. Come back to me when you have facts to prove otherwise. Silly multi aliased comments don't bother me it's just an excuse the cry babies use because they cannot argue with my factual opinions. Is this the same 'cry baby' who removed the 2019 team line ups ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In case you don’t know....I have re-done the line ups on page 2 (you need to scroll down the page a little to find it) of Confirmed line ups 2019...All teams and riders have the correct starting averages courtesy of the BSPA Web site Edited May 4, 2019 by scottyfan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iwright71 206 Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately the situation at Poole is indicative of British speedway as a whole. Its crumbling slowly or now rather quickly in front of our eyes. Its a gradual race to the bottom even for British speedways most successful club. The owner wants out, can't even fit the team out in matching kevlars , the track is falling to bits with seemingly no money or endeavour to fix it. All while the crowd figures slowly depreciate. Lets be honest who can take a 7 team top division seriously with 4 of those teams making the play offs, only those hard core fans who will watch anything and only professionally because they have to, BT sport. The end is not too far away for the Premiership as it stands. Edited May 5, 2019 by iwright71 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously?! Apart from 3 or 4 heats I thought the whole meeting was very processional, boring gate and go and in front of smallish crowd. You could tell from Woffy's studio comments that he wasn't exactly enthralled by it either!! Faster races don't mean better racing.

Matt didn't have to try too hard when he had the Turbo Twins on board, he and his son do now ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were probably some even better examples of it at Leicester last night because at last there was a visiting team with fighting spirit. Thank you Eastbourne for some brilliant racing but thanks also to the Lions, down to 6 men after Josh's first heat crash, who never gave up and battled hard to get three 5-1's in the last heats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn’t matter about comparing to other tracks. Track prep has been poor over recent seasons at a lot of tracks yet some seem to put more effort into it. Poole has been pointed out as being as being poor, this season ...... from there own fans. In this instance it doesn’t matter if other tracks are doing a worse job. One can only hope promotions put more effort into the riders stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
