scottyfan 824 Posted January 5, 2022 46 minutes ago, Bagpuss said: I think we are talking about different track alterations. Poole Town left after the 94-95 football season and the track changes I'm referring to were done in time for the 1996 speedway season and were possible because there was no longer a need for a football pitch on the grass infield meaning the white line was taken in. That’s when they moved the track back to where it was originally and the dog track was reinstated but they made it wider by bringing the bends in as there was no football anymore. Which is how it still is now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May well give us a better idea of our number 7 IF they announce one of Ablitt/Mulford. Oxford have chosen Macdonald and Ryml so we can still have one of those if we really want them!

I think Kemp has a lot of potential and will win races but I think making him the stronger reserve is putting too much pressure on him as this stage in his career.

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted January 6, 2022 Liked the old Poole track layout which allowed you right up close to the action - which added to the spectacle. Always enjoyed the old Canterbury track which allowed you to get up close to the action and the flying shale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
