Well my bookie wont like me - a small home win it was, now forthe thumping at Poole's dusty road.    I am just hoping ti dont rain coz Poole dont like it wet.    Been around in speedway for over 65 years, it aint over till the fat lady sings. 

I was thinking of something more alcoholic. A lot of celebrating to do.

Would that vanilla / Chocolate / Strawberry treble ice cream be on a waffle cone?

Yes please, a double is never quite enough is it!!

Sounds like a virtual total muck out in your eyes. Are the faccenas safe?

That's a great point, just feel it would be more beneficial for a 17 year old after a season racing in the Champ. As brilliant as Cooper has been this season, he lost to Mulford at Ipswich, lost to Harrison & Scott at Workington, lost to Morley & Foord at Iwade. Now these riders would be the easiest opponents he'd get to meet in the Prem, even as a RS. So my concern would be it could hurt his confidence racing in the Prem so early in his career, I can't see any negatives to waiting till 2027? Now this is no slight on Cooper, there's no reason why a 15 should be expected to beat all these guys in his first season, which is the reason why I wouldn't recommend racing in the Prem, just too big a jump for me. Even if Ipswich said "no pressure, just enjoy yourself" no-one likes to lose each time, plus why wouldn't Ipswich use the best RS possible? Last time they overlooked Kemp & Rowe for Joe T, didn't work out (till they signed Dan). If he does sign, I hope I'm proved wrong & he does well, I just can't help but think would Boughen have been better taking one step at a time & don't want Cooper to follow suit.
