    Would that not make more riders unavailable because of Poland? 

    I'm not the author of the whisper! It was shared to me just after the Kyle Newman postponement was announced, so not sure if its accurate nor what the ramifications might be?!!!

    NB. Richard Lawson's Testimonial is scheduled for Sunday 1st September!!

    Nothing against any of them, as i have no affiliation to any side, just feel Glasgow will not be as good as people believe

    I think Plymouth could be the surprise package as their 1-7 are generally good at home so can be some bonus points won, both Thompsons will improve if they stay injury free, Joe i believe scored 7ish guesting at no.3 last season so being at 7 in a weaker league will see him score well

    Ok Covatti and Barker aren't Harris/Worrall but they are triers which will give them a good chance 

    With all the track changes/improvements being made at Plymouth, they will improve the away team's chances as much as the home team - especially in the early weeks of the season.

    Did try that with a different browser and still couldn't, am using chrome as usual now and couldn't on that before, but can now after changing settings on the google 'bar' for privacy and cookie settings that comes up at the bottom of a page if you scroll down. It may not be that and just a coincidence, but know it's been annoying a lot of posters including me.

    I tried that but still not working for me.

    But Poole signed Zach before the Australian season, so they can't have planned to use him as a second string based on pre-season form.

    Even if Poole went for Rowe & Newman instead of Brennan & Thomsen, Zach could still have ridden at number 4 anyway.

    With Rowe and Newman in the 1-5, Zach would have been 3rd heat leader. Yes he could have still ridden at 4 but he would have been as heat leader not 2nd string.

    Despite the general negativity on here, thank goodness for the loads of positive comments on particularly Facebook! 

    Haven't checked the other social platforms.

    It looks a decent solid team and on a 'Track by Terry' they should do well.

    Zach Cook isn't having the best of preseasons but I hope he improves over the course of the regular season. He has a lot more weight on his speedway shoulders this season with a much weaker 2,6 and 7 than last year starting for Poole.

    Maybe that's why Poole wanted him to start in his 2nd string position from 2023.

    At the conclusion of the final round, Poole's Ben Cook was awarded the 'Most Improved Rider of the Year' trophy, based on his results from both his Overseas and his domestic meetings.:t:

    Notwithstanding the lower points limit, clubs still have the same stadium and meeting costs, most of which have increased in price, so its understandable that admission prices will increase!

    Fans will make their own decisions about 'what represents a quality product'!

    If its felt that the increase is too much then that will be reflected in attendance levels - a factor that I'm sure most Promoters take into account when preparing their revenue/expenditure budgets for each season.

    The Star is now delivered in a white paper envelope.

    Mine is delivered by Royal Mail to my block of apartments, and almost always arrives on Thursdays except in BH weeks when it arrives on a Friday.

    Can't complain at all.

    I guess it boils down to whether the post is making a good point or s hit stirring  :)

     

    Such a shame that some don't seem to know the difference or choose to attack the poster rather than the post!
