lisa-colette 6,028 Posted April 25, 2022 Do we know how Drew is? Has he been riding abroad since Weds? As Danny King said he was in a bit of pain after his crash at Oxford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also he's due to receive £500 (as is Nathan) from the Poole R.E.F. (Riders Equipment Fund)! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was on the train to Oxford last week to watch Poole, Coventry & Reading were amongst other stops for the train.......one day I thought it would be great getting off the train again for sum speedway at those venues. Have a great time down at Wimborne Road, superb race track. Edited April 26, 2022 by Turnip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,144 Posted April 26, 2022 Its obviously going to be a hammering on Wednesday. I'm guessing that the management also expect this as no guest employed for Auty ? What are others thoughts on this ? I'm assuming its about keeping costs down ? I'm not fussed either way. I think R/R at home meetings is a no brainer, but 'winnable' away meetings (and there's not many) might be more advantageous to have a guest? May be Danny Gappmaier might re-consider and be a half decent replacement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 869 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Birmingham & Newcastle both need major help & I hope the BSPA nobbies are helping in the search & finance of better quality riders for when these 2 club's average's are issued again.

Sadly, no news about Reading - the Smallmead site remains barren and used for a car park on Football match days Great to see Oxford back up and running, can only hope the same for Coventry one day. Very much looking forward to Wimborne Rd tomorrow night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,636 Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) A quick note for anyone travelling from the East (Bournemouth and beyond) to Poole Stadium this evening - Canford Way and Dorset Way around the Mannings Heath roundabout and Tower Park areas are CLOSED due to planned resurfacing. Diversions are in place but its very congested at peak times. PS. The May Greensheets are out with Captain Danny King moving to Number 1 from 3rd May.

But I guess letting his team mate take the win on the line made sure that didn’t happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was told at Lakeside some years agi that Lawson didn't like being v in heat 1 so would seek to let teammates win and pick up the bonus point when possible and safe to do so. The rumour was that he was often late because Mrs L took so long doing her make up. So Heat 4 was his favoured first race.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 27, 2022 Good weather down here today. Looking forward to seeing some racing. Hopefully Brum will put up a better fight than Oxford and gate. Pointless seeing our boys gate and clear off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
