I know there isnt much options but so far the reserves have got 3,2,3,2,6,4 (and 5 from Berge)

They need at home to be getting 8 or 9

With the reserves in other teams I can only see our reserves getting 9 points combined very rarely if at all.

Hope the collarbone isn’t too painful Steve.

Cheers. I was due to go on holiday to Italy on Sunday but it’s gone now. Gutted. And have 2 weeks booked 8-22 June in Annecy which is booked and paid for and now unlikely. Could have been worse. The guy I was flying with got a free helicopter ride with broken leg. We hit bad rotor near Lulworth Cove during a longish costal flight along Jurassic coast.

I've done mine before .It gets better pretty quick. A bit sore for a week or two' then eases off. As long as your June holiday isn't hang gliding, rock climbing etc, you may well be able to go and  enjoy it.:t:

Just caught up with the meeting as spent most of yesterday in anand e after breaking my collarbone :(

Think last night’s result has shown Swindon to be not as strong as some think. Peterborough would have won that had Tungate been a pro and the ref rerun heat 5. Panthers threw quite a few points away.

Didn’t think it was a bad meeting. Just average and the track is better than the old one.

Sorry to hear your news, hope you’re feeling more comfortable soon.

Interesting to see yesterday that both Poole and Swindon's number one riders are both called Brady Kurtz...

There is a slight difference in the spelling of Kurtz it seems . Up North it's Kertz and down South it's Curtz. They are both from Australia but it's a big place you know. It's all in the pronunciation.

And maybe one of them is actually called Bradley and it was a spelling mistake.?

No he's not blind. He just hates Swindon, strange that as he used to live here. Perhaps the Penhill air didn't suit him!

He might change his mind again Les and go and support Wolverhampton .Over the years Les when Swindon had poor teams did you ever think about changing teams ???? a big NO  what about the Oxford Cheetahs!!!!

Shows how low the bar is set now when people think last nights meeting was " not bad  " .2 exciting laps of speedway in 15 heats , unfortunately the only decent race of the night was curtailed after 2 laps , with 3 passes in 2 laps the referee somehow see's that as a guaranteed 5-1 and calls it as a result. Ridiculous.  The numerous full starts and mechanical issues made the league look amateur. Felt sorry for the fans who didn't have the comfort of the remote control beside them. Positive things   have been said about the new Swindon track but on a good night for weather and with the TV cameras there  it failed to deliver, and I can't think of a valid excuse why. Riders strung out like washing , you could fill your program in after 1 lap with some riders the length of the  straight clear. All this thrown in with the commentary  from  Planet Pearson where everything is always great. Viewers watching this weeks meeting will not be surprised that the sport is struggling.

Dear lord. There is a guy who moved down here from Manchester and he supports Poole every week apart from when BV are here.
