The club has to run within its means. And if a rider is contacted to replace an injured rider they might ask for more than they are actually worth. Add to that getting everything in place mid season, it makes finding a rider very difficult indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

89buttons 761 Posted July 8, 2019 Can’t help but think this is going to be an awful advert for speedway on BT tonight, Summers was woeful as a guest at reserve for us at Kings Lynn couple of weeks ago and Newman is seemingly nowhere near a top flight rider these days 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not really bothered you don’t agree and it looks like you have offered up another year where Poole choked! Poole didn't choke in 2012. Swindon were just better. I know that doesn't fit in with your " I hate Poole" mantra. But I guess you can't have everything. You can't say every time Poole lose in a final, they choked otherwise it looks like you don't even know what it means!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their engine room are both riding as well as anyone in the UK right now and Holder likes Lynn so they could make it uncomfortable for the Stars with some sharp starts. We have vulnerabilities in our line up but whatever happens three points are a must. Would take 46-44 and some good racing. And in reality I would be happen to get to 40 points!

BT know that Poole are decimated so a switch would be sensible. There is no financial reward for Kings Lynn showing this so why they haven’t moved it I have no idea. Perhaps BV can’t afford to be on TV two weeks running? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one else has had 4 out at the same time!! Come on Gavan get with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Find a post where I have ever responded to that numpty. I blocked him over a year ago and it’s far more pleasurable on here not reading his spew. I would’nt be surprised if he is still carrying on slagging Poole off at every opportunity dressed up as veiled thin praise at times in attempt to disguise it. Best thing is I don’t have to suffer reading it. Edited July 8, 2019 by Steve Shovlar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think Gavan does slag Poole off at every opportunity he feels like me you mainly do Poole speedway an injustice. You dont show the true spirit of the club,you put yourself forward as the spokesman of the club and by doing that you show Poole in a bad light. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
