He's only posting about Poole riders on a Poole thread. Quite right too imo. Bore off yourself!!

How dare you compare it to the "good ol' days"!!! Your sort just won't admit it was absolutely perfect back then! Immaculate starting procedures with nobody ever needing a 2-minute warning, the noise, the smell, capacity crowds every night, incredible racing with 20+ passes on every lap, riders staying with the same teams for 30 years, and every British rider was so much better than that Aussie Tia Wofflebottom (or whatever his ruddy name is)... Steve

Trackrat is clearly the biggest pillock on the forum. What an absolute numpty.

IMHO, Companies who sponsor a club should have their Logo around the track and other viewable places where Jo public will see the companies name, brand etc. Companies that sponsor riders should get their logos etc on the rider and or macinenary they sponsor. end of.

Darcey probably thought he was going to play 'Jack the Lad' throughout his career, picking up a few world titles along the way, while putting two fingers up to anyone and everyone. Problem is fate got in the way. The real disturbing aspect of the tweet is that because he's not in a position to do NIkki harm he is, perhaps, suggesting that someone else ought to do it. Someone who Darcey would regard has having the balls to do it, like Darcey himself has and would, hence the little black book.

I can't remember the old days, I liked the bar too much.....

What on Earth are you on about? Time for the mods to step in and block this numpty.

That's great. Shame the Wolves promotion don't share it on the official site. #mushroommanagement Again!

Such a shame to read this post. I had the same experience. A very nice stadium ruined by the track.

Thought you might have kept his post in your back pocket for the appropriate time

Maybe it needs changing after all (it had to be done )

Great result for the Bears !! Great to put one over our North-East rivals, not something that happens very often at Brough , well done Ben and the lads !! Bears have sharper claws this season .

No .everything was better in the old days .how long have you been on this forum

With Nicholls only doing a short stint at wolves,, could he possibly be the one to take over from Summers?

Some better track lighting is also required.

Buster is trying to keep the Prem alive. At least he is trying, and the Stars look smart

Can't see why people should be getting so paranoid about this. Birmingham's track was laid down from scratch in 8 days in 2007. Swindon only have one bend to re-shape so I can see no reason why the track shouldn't be ready and bedded in, for the start of the season.

cos it's late and, lots of people are in bed ?

Was a great programme though, lots to read and an improvement on last year.

Looked OK, lots of kids there

Would have been pleased to have won on aggregate, so to win on the night is a bonus. Probably a good time to ride at Newcastle with the fact they had a few new faces in the team and their first home meeting. Charles is a class act these days and excellent from Nathan tonight. Bit more back up from the rest of the team (let’s tell Bacon that every race is Heat 1) so we could even afford MPT to have a poor night (for him) at Brough.

The original old 13 heat format. No that brings back some happy memories!

Love it. A Leicester fan predicting a Scunthorpe win and a Scunthorpe fan predicting a Leicester win. Priceless

Hope the lack of passing last night was to your satisfaction lol the track was in excellent shape

The starts were terrible in the good old days. The galloping Mauger was a master of rolling into the tapes to anticipate the start.

Thought the conspiracy theorists might have picked up on this... Comets on ice for a year gets the council out of a hole pitch wise doesn't it... And ya man the leader won't answer his phone or any emails or text messages... Then the Vanity Project on that new stadium the one no one wants or can afford to run, the whole thing stinks to high heaven... Regards THJ

Whoever has signed Gomolski looks like they have a rider in form. Absolutely ripping it up today from the back in a Polish league meeting.

I agree that Trackrat goes a bit OTT (even though ive been accused of being him lol) But i like the way you still think it all jealousy

Sounded as though it was not Ged bailing out, more a case of being shown the exit door and being given a push to ensure he went through it.

City were also at home yesterday, which is bound to have an impact.

To any teams out there who are considering a change,you won't go far wrong giving Theo Pijper a call(maybe not Redcar,alright even Redcar).

It didn't look down by a great deal. Understandable though as the previous week was the first match of the season and against Ipswich who are in the higher league.....also Chris Harris riding seems to pull a few extra fans in. (Fliss loves him so she was there) But to be serious I'm pretty sure there will be even less each week if the racing doesn't improve so hopefully it will. Agree about the lighting as it's always been awful and it's now worse by the stupid change to Yellow helmet colours which are difficult to tell apart from White. I don't know what colour Scott was wearing either because it certainly wasn't Blue.

This is where speedway promotions (not just Wolves) just do themselves no favours whatsoever. There's been stories of Morris having a possible broken scaphoid doing the rounds for the last 24 hours. Word from the official site on the situation, there was none. Now it may well be that it can't be reported one way or the other as if, for instance, he has broken it, they'll need to wait for the swelling to go down to confirm. But for God's sake a few lines on the OS explaining the situation 'he's going for x-rays tomorrow/he's ok' would be fine. It's almost as though they take some kind of perverse pleasure in keeping people in the dark. They've never come to terms with this interweb thingy.

My first visit to Leicester and I'm not in a hurry for the second!!!!

Whether by omission or commission Panthers fans have been shafted . Last Fridays eulogising over the new management team is now looking misplaced to say the least

Proctor pulled out of berwick meet tonight after 2 rides hope our injurys havent started early

Well, thats good to see that, even back in the day the tobacco companies were doing their best to clean up their mess

Apart from the result, this was a cracking meeting with some brilliant racing on a good slick track in front of a large crowd with the usual contingent of away supporters. Thought we were in for a good stuffing early on but, like another meeting here a couple pf years ago, the Diamonds suddenly turned it around and after a 14 point deficit, the Diamonds got with in 8 points only to lose heat 15 with a 5-1 against. A 12 point defeat was actually decent given the dominance of the Bears in the early 7 heats. In the junior meeting, there was some great racing and good performances from Dicken, Josh , Archie and Danny who was flying. Unlucky start for Sheldon with a dodgy clutch, but he will on song next time out I am sure. Some terrific overtaking at this junior level. Nice to renew our friendships with our usual Bears fans and ChrisHT, who made me and Alan very welcome once again. Thanks for your best wishes. Very impressed at many things last night, a good atmosphere with the fans, great racing, stadium improvements, good even paced meeting and a complete rethink to revitalise the programme and content. The whole evening was a great advert for speedway, with 2 sides who will give a good show everywhere I think. Massive parking, and queues at the turnstiles, even had some pies and peas left when I got there. NB Forgot to mention the fine form of Jordan Stewart. Very hit and miss last year IMO, but if he can continue this form he could prove to be very hard to beat.

I got on really well with Peter and still do, every time he is back and we bump into each other, we speak for ages. It seems you have a grief with someone?

Specsavers?

Poole at Peterborough 15th April by then no doubt Hans Andersen would of been released for having the wrong colour kevlars to everyone else

I beg to differ, we had a good side, but its looking dire now. Replacing a number one with a number seven spells disaster ....

Although your post included an emoji, it does nothing to hide the meaning of it . Instead of making jive remarks about the effort the work and money that has obviously gone into the presentation of each of those clubs, you should be complimenting them for trying to make this sport look more professional. When making you predictions you ought to remember, had it not been for Buster there would not be a Premiership league for your cheaply attired riders to compete in

Technology and silencers caused more problems than the shape of the track. IMHO.

He certainly was - along with Graeme Smith and Russ Dent. Was that the year we won the Four Team Tournament Competition against Teesside, Workington and Berwick? 1972 or 1973 My memory fails me these days....

My track (Oxford) closed in 2007, so you have my sympathies. I go to Scunthorpe most Fridays during the season. Very friendly lot up there - you'd be very welcome.

Now everyone knows Nicki is no angel but Darcy didn’t seem to mind him when he wore a replica suit to help raise money for Darcy.

So you have a reserve that's flying on the night,,, don't put him up for a pick,, it's then chosen the under performing rider goes in 14,,,goes though tapes,, replaced by flying reserve. Can flying reserve also do heat 15 as wasn't original pick for 14

The speedway car park is behind the leisure centre, the best way from the A46 is, take the Beaumont Leys exit, travel about 3/4 of a mile & turn left at the roundabout ( Bennion Rd), follow this for about 1/2 a mile until you come to another island with a police station next to it, turn right here, in about 300 yards the road bends right, at this point take the small road that forks to the left, this leads to to the speedway car park. There is no charge, but it's usually full by 6.40-6.45 ish. Alternatively just park on one of the shopping centre car parks, these are free, but have a 4 hour limit.
