Trees 2,814 Posted May 3, 2019 1 hour ago, simon.c said: I agree, I have supported Poole for many years and the poor state of the track certainly makes me think twice about going. I have seen some fantastic racing there over the years and it is a shame that it is being neglected at this moment in time. Give the fans a good circuit and they will return, I am sure that the poor crowd last night was in part due to the terrible event dished up at Easter. It's so important for the riders and the sport, when someone like an experienced Niels Kristian Iversen asks what has happened to the track surely something ought to be done?

Guess we have fans who follow the team through thick and thin. Bank Holiday Monday is a bit different to a midweek match, especially with a lunchtime start so plenty of time to be tucked up in bed at a reasonable hour for work the next day.

GAH 409 Posted May 3, 2019 1 hour ago, BLACKHEART said: I speak the truth. You do have big problems. Jaimon Lidsey is the key rider of the side. If he doesn't improve then Belle Vue have big problems because Wells is not going to improve. Berge is not going to improve away from the NSS because he can only ride certain tracks. Was the same story in second tier with him which is why he had such a low average. Belle Vue's season all hinges on Jaimon Lidsey's performances. we will have to do what poole always does and change riders don't see a problem there !! no need to panic yet !! look where you were last season and then won the league !!

Poole fans follow through thick and thin that’s the most laughable comment Poole fans are known for disappearing when things don’t go well.... And you are comparing a bank holiday Monday match in the afternoon to a Thursday night one. Most people don’t work bank holiday Mondays and there will be time for people to get home at a sensible time Also Poole fans know they will see a proper meeting in a proper track.... Belle Vue fans aren’t going to get that on Pooles awful track I guess you can’t help but troll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,286 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, BLACKHEART said: Last comment on the topic with Lidsey as the cry babies don't like it when someone tells them something they don't want to hear. 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. You are right, he has dropped his assessed average ( although cup matches don't count towards gsa as u know) But seeing as he hasn't seen any of the tracks, and he is learning on the job,he should pick up in the 2nd half of the season, if given the chance. This season going by your points/ rides he is averaging 3.66 at home, 2.66 away for an overall average of 3.16 so far. Surely he will only get better. I would guess that Ricky Wells might be more of a concent at the moment. Edited May 3, 2019 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acef 795 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Lidsey paid 8 and a heat 15 nomination tonight in the Polish extra league. That's what he's capable of. It's not necessarily pulling up trees but given where he has come and at that level, it's not at all bad. I maintain when he finds his feet he will be banging the points in.
