Woeful

Cradley heath was known worldwide for 2 things, man hole covers and the speedway and both of those have gone,sadly if you live in cradley and you were born after 1995 you would have no idea just how much they put cradley heath on the map and it’s that level of thinking that speedway is up against

It could unfortunately councils couldn’t care less about cradley or speedway

With the rumoured new NL average rule Rushen could come in on a 4pt average for the Championship

Agreed I was just naming two.

Aye, fair enough, I know you got my gist.

How about starting off with Tate Zischke at reserve? Kerr for Bowes strengthens the top end! Troy Bachelor - 6.80 Lewis Kerr - 6.77 Annti Vuolas - 6.68 Jye Etheridge - 5.66 Jacob Hook - 5.63 Tate Zischke - 5.43 Mitchell Cluff - 3.00 Total 39.97

Bomber said his first contract was done. I believe that to be Kings Lynn.

If Zach does not return I can’t see Bowes being at Poole. No Zach I think we would go for another rider with a slightly higher average

Rushen** 🙄

There can be a blue groove on the inside of bend one as a meeting progresses, but this is usually in the hotter, drier days of summer, which Poole have more than their fair share of. Rushden has put in some decent times when he's done some after meeting laps and when he did the Harbour Masters meeting.

Also by Peterborough, Swindon - these are also "big names" in Speedway too.

Hugely unlikely they are already getting decent crowds and not much attraction of increasing costs by a third in a league of possibly another 4 or 5 teams, plus if they end up with the three super talented youngsters Cairns, Rushden and Bailey next season if those three can crack on they will bring in the crowds. I haven't been to Poole but the only worry I would have if the one line blue groove quotes are true is its not the kind of track that would suit out and out racers like Rushden and Bailey.

The 40 point limit was agreed for 3 years (unless they change it at agm)!

Thanks for the update. I've been keeping tabs on their Facebook page. In my opinion speedway could be boosted by having big names like Cradley and Coventry back at the top table.

If Ace is at 6, won't have such a strong top 4 obviously. Btw I wouldn't call a rider who can score 4 at home & 2 away a "sacrificial no 7" that sounds like a valuable member of the team.

What about that young dane who entered the end of season meeting granted wasn't the strongest field and terrible conditions but he seemed useful ?

Jeez where has the time gone, I remember Henka's debut possibly it was against Cradley his first three rides he looked pretty average but by the fourth ride he had weighed the track up and came from the back to win in style pretty much from then on he was a force at Saddlebow Road. Loram was a great rider to watch but Henka in full flow was a cut above even Mark.

Exactly

Are we still going on about the track? After 15 races at pooles track. And 16 races at Glasgows track, can we not agree that the team that won deserved to win? Poole prepared their track to help them win. Glasgow prepared their track to try and help them win.

I can’t say what actually happened at the meeting but in a nutshell cradley have to convince the council that speedway is the right thing for the area where it is being proposed, that sounds straightforward to me and you but not to non speedway people

Yep three full seasons, he did five meetings at the end of 1990 after that Bradford World Final appearance and then 91, 92 & 93. Lee was 1991 and what a waste of everyone's time that was. Had Knight stayed instead we would have finished much higher than 8th.

Steve was never banned. His twin brother, Richie, was and still hasn't returned. Steve is rumoured to be retiring at the end of this season.

Was just banned for a year, rode for Scunthorpe this year. Would be on a sub 7 average so good chance he could up that.

Dont even think there was much truth in it, as a Utd hater of many years it was strange to find myself wanting them to win.
