But Poole were built using a CL rider at reserve Oxford were not. Still it was there choice not to get a guest so you can’t really moan about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mel 19 Posted April 22, 2022 I personally am just happy to have a local team and have enjoyed both the meetings so far win or lose as have new people I have brought with me that have never seen speedway before I think we all knew we would be up against it this year as did we also know that Poole would be a tough ask home and away so for me that home result was not only a big learning curve for some but also the track staff (yes I agree it was extremely dusty), so all in all even with a loss I was happy with the result 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the CL Green Sheets, there are very few guest options for McDonald's 4.00 average - maybe they couldn't find anyone available or willing to ride?

But don't write off Scotty just yet. Once he's got his shirts sorted for the GP punditry, he get his mind back on racing for a living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBH, I'd rather we did what we did, and use a rider from our own junior team. Only way riders will progress unless they are a super talent is to get track time against riders of a higher standard. Better to train our own riders than someone else's Maybe a lesson for the British Authorities as our leagues trained up plenty of Foreign talent instead of using British riders who ended up drifting away from the sport. Luckily there now seems to be a good crop of younger riders coming through who will kick on 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
