    Yes, I was typing "tongue in cheek" of course, nothing will come of these "plans" / dreams. If you lived next door and weren't a speedway fan, what would you think of the idea? 

    sorry for taking the post the wrong way, to be honest even with being a speedway fan I wouldn't want a track in close proximity to my house, would you?

    Mr Russell has stated that there will be one installed very soon and that the next door neighbours are in harmony with having an exciting motorcycle facility on their doorsteps ( literally). What is there not to believe?

    are you aware of the history of the owners of the stadium and new stadiums being built?

    I cannot see many wanting to pay much, if anything, let alone Matts valuation when he wanted Somerset to buy  C Holder for £20,000, for Poole Speedway.  To start with the riders are not financial assets of any value, as they can just walk away and refuse to ride for any new owner, so Matt has a couple of tractors and other equipment and an agreement to hire the track when he needs it.  Add to this the state of speedway in this country and the way it is run.

    The riders are financial assets, Poole will have quite a number of riders that they own and then they "loan" them out to other clubs, they will get a cut from each rider.

    The guys have been working frantically with the readymix so the track should be without that rut/hole for the next home meeting and the play-offs. Unfortunately there will now be a bump which might deter some from sticking their front wheel across the white line when they miss the gate?!:rolleyes:;):t::P

    absolutely clueless in Poole, tried oil and now concrete!

    If you believe any pit crew have the right to get physically involved with other riders, i would suggest you rethink your perception of right and wrong. It has no place in speedway and would be severely punished in other sports. Maybe you should stick with WWF  :rolleyes:

     

    as this is in Saturdays GP you must be referring to the Pedersen/Woffy incident, if you honestly think that riders or their crew get bans for that then then the games gone.

    I dread to think what the pc brigade thought of Boyce lumping Gollob ...I bet most of them were on gardening leave for weeks after that!

    I think Zmarzlik's brilliant, easily the most exciting rider in the series. Although he does tend to get himself in a muddle when he misses the start, as was the case on Saturday..He goes too fast for his brain to keep up!

    He's like a young Zenon Plech who seemed to be out of control most of the time in his early years, but he calmed down (a bit) as I'm sure the Bart-man will.

    I would rather watch him than the likes of Hancock, Dudek, Todd Wiltshire etc who are/were just start tarts!

    The young lad reminds me of Gollob, fast, exciting and entertaining.....just what the sport needs

    It's time these pit crew thugs started getting bans for their attacks/attempted attacks on riders...

    thugs?....ffs petal there was little more than words thrown at each other, the only person who "may" of been out of order was Huffy, Huffy, Huffy who tried to flick his back wheel at Pedersen...

    Talk about being a 2018 drama queen!
