I agree but do you seriously think track men go out of their way to prep tracks like tha? Last night there was a lot of head scratching as to why it went the way it did.

They have.When I was younger though we always use to go away to see them get beat.Older and wiser now and I won't go away until we start getting competitive away from Norfolk.

Each to their own. I will not be championing mediocrity regarding track preparation. It can make such a difference to the meeting. I only make comment because where possible I want the sport to be at its best.

It matters to the riders pockets,as most will be paid by the point.No one wants to lose out on their money I would think.

If you think that’s for ffs ,wait till Sat 26th🤔🤔

Agree totally

I can see Poole winning this, they all go well round Scunny.

Maybe our top two are now on the decline,, Emil isn't exactly smashing big points in every week in Poland either

I have never seen as much work put into the track as the last few seasons since covid. I can't think or a better way to make a hole or bump in tightly packed sediment than by passing a heavily nobbled tire rotating at upteen revolutions per second so surely it should be widely accepted that racing will cause bumps,ruts or polished smooth surfaces. if you folks don't like the racing on shale and the conditions that go with it why on earth do you continue to follow the sport. it's so tedious to watch everyone continually harp on about it without a thought for how the continual criticism and snipes affect the morale of everyone involved including the spectators-celebrate it!

Belle Vue had their gating gloves on for the victory in the A fixture which is an essential part of speedway away from the NSS. We should be winning this but as we’ve seen on many occasions this season our poor gating has left us following the leader for 4 tedious laps. Jaimon should be on for double figures and this together with our top two should see us home.

The way Starke is riding might have been better to keep Ritchings.

That is a really great offer, coach travel and admission for £33

Thanks, I thought the same.

The original poster suggested that if the track was made 'good' Poole would romp to even bigger wins. So presumably the Poole management save money on track preparation and reduced wages to their own riders as Mr Head suggests they would score even more points and earn even more points money if the track was 'good'.

Had I realised this was tonight before now I'd have come but won't get out of work now, Aces to win at a canter again.

ffs

Edit. Wrong thread. Should be one that Brummies can win.

Another Bandits problem maybe as kildemand out of Oxford team tonight after hurting knee Monday Sheffield

yes your probably right a few there iv never heard of.

Gave him the benefit of the doubt for the first few with him being out for so long. However he hasn’t got any better.

I don't think so. I'm planning on having to pay.

I was there at the NSSC meeting when Phil Morris strongly hinted that there was a brand new club interested in running speedway. The rumours at the time were that this was Northampton but Phil never said that. But if it was and if that is still a possibility it is a good catchment area. Also, if they only entered at NDL level, there would be local derbies with Leicester and Oxford. Ah well. We can dream. The best laid plans of mice and men eh? P.S. Glasgow moving up is an obvious candidate. However, the loss of all those relatively lucrative local derbies with Edinburgh is surely a factor.

Can see Godfrey being the saviour and move Scunthorpe up

Poole riders still rack up the points at home so where is the saving?

They don't tend to put new clubs straight into the Prem though. Normally have to work their way up through the leagues. Think they will try and convince Glasgow to move up. Whether they will or not though. 🤷‍♀️
