Well he was on before the meeting, saying Poole had no chance and a week earlier saying he couldn't wait for Ippo to 'smash' us. And zero since, he prob is too embarrassed.

Skidder1 7,636 Posted July 17, 2019 Whatever the real reason for Gav's absence, he'll come back with 'I have a family and wanted to spend more time with them cos speedway's not that important'!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If every club (no exceptions) had a professional website & social media approach, matching team suits and bike covers and a properly prepared track it wouldn’t cure every problem but the sport would come across one hundred times better than it currently does. As you say the bar representing the acceptable bare minimum needs to be raised way, way higher than it is now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NBJ only got 5 tonight i think, shame about NBJ thought there was a lot more to come from him but there is little doubt at the moment Wells is a better alternative. Very good news Nico is in the points tonight. Edited July 17, 2019 by foreverblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,093 Posted July 17, 2019 Slightly worrying is Lawson 14 points tonight and Wimborne Road is a happy hunting ground for him usually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
