Richard Coleman ”The sport can’t continue to do the same thing with a little bit less money each year and expect a different result” In a nutshell. 

Think Workington will win, should be close for the bonus point, maybe just favour the Comets.

We'll have to say it's never a hindrance to us and if anyone wants to chat or sit on the bike it's no problem. 

Must be quite inconsistent, feel like he often scores well, but average doesn't rise much.

Well I haven’t been one of those. I use my own eyes and I’ve maintained more than once on here, that the crowd levels have taken a fair old hit. I know one or two have said there hasn’t been much difference, but I’m honestly not sure what they’re seeing. My opinion is vastly different. The Belle Vue meeting a few weeks ago was woeful compared to Belle Vue’s visits in previous seasons. No Bewley but Kurtz was there, Belle Vue meetings usually bring out the bigger crowds at Foxhall generally, and it was a glorious summer evening. I was pretty shocked at the turn out to be frank.    It can’t all be blamed on the loss of Doyle and Emil because there are a couple of other factors including the new TV stream for a tenna less, but I’ve absolutely no doubt the loss of BOTH heatleaders has been the biggest factor. Talk to literally anyone at the track on meeting day, and they’ll all tell you the same thing, it just hasn’t been close to the same without them. Go in to next season without both of Bewley or Kurtz, promote Zach Cook to number 1 and see how you get on. Do you think it wouldn’t have THAT much affect on your attendances? I bet it would!! Take your point about whether the drop off would hurt the finances due to the savings made on not paying the top stars, but that we’ll never know really. None of us want to be watching speedway in ever decreasing crowd numbers though and that’s what’s happened at Ipswich this year, and would happen at the NSS too if you lost your heatleaders. Sheffield fans have also commented on the lower crowd levels since Holder got injured. Ask Orion and any other Swindon fan who still browses on here, what happened to their crowd levels when Leigh Adams retired.

Unfortunately there are many who dislike Poole enough to post these uncalled for observations.
