Comments made by Middleditch in last weeks SS about the dusty track took some believing saying that the riders should talk to the track curator. Does he think his job as a manager of the team shouldn’t include making sure the track is fit for purpose!

No, shame on the xenophobe for suggesting there isn't a 'genuine' Brit in the GP.

Belle vue fans always have s fee fans who attend Poole, myself 1 of them but with it being so early in season I think, like me most will attend in the summer months when its warmer and weather is more predictable, Its nothing tondo with thr state of the track. While it's not great at the moment in general thenpoole track is one of thr best. And if they ever do sort it then it will be up there with the best in UK Should imagine pooles crowds are alot bigger in summer months with holiday goers and away fans making the most of a few days away at the beach.

Dont understand why you criticizing jamion young lad just starting out ?

The stage that the promotion sets for today’s speedway matches at Poole is a shambles. The days of great racing where you would leave the stadium with “your head on fire” are long gone. The track is a mess (and has been for a number of years) and the racing is bordering on non existent and boring. Not sure I can put up with this for much longer!!

I can`t get hold of Ghostie- hope you are ok, so i will start the Swedish thread for this season. With there being 9 teams in the league in 2019 there are 5 matches most weeks spread over Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Tuesday May 7th Piraterna v Smederna Masarna v Indianerna Lejonen v Rospiggarna Vastervik v Vetlanda Thursday May 9th Dackarna v Smederna I will post line-ups for the Tuesday matches on Sunday evening and the Thursday match on Tuesday evening The best TV viewers can hope for in week 1 is delayed coverage on Freesports at 10.15 pm on Thursday- all the TV matches this season are on Thursday`s. Nothing yet on any Polish TV channels for Thursday

Keep going guys, very soon you will have no Somerset Speedway to moan about, some of us still enjoy our Speedway whatever!

Lidsey has been to Poole more times than Blackheart if he is who I think he is!!

Mind you don't get a milkshake suprise. Strawberry Fool flavour.

Don’t see an awful lot wrong with that to be honest.

Swindon is a no

I want trying to compare them my answer was in response to jengas post. as I have said before last year danny beat kyle from a 15m handicap at the ewr early in the season later on when they met and both went from the taped kyle was a country mile in front. one progressed the other didn't. no axe to grind its as I saw it

Not around this evening should be on http://www.maniak.tv/kanal-1 and http://www.drhtv.com.pl/drhtv-2.html

Perks, Mountain; Thomas ; Morley; Bowtell ; Brennan ; Wood - a great advertisement for the National Development League and far better for both sides to promote British talent (Perks raised in Oz I know). Their battles will likely influence result more than heat leaders.

Crossroads Baggy ? Seems to me it’s a one way street leading to the Cliff Edge.

Not really - they know the FIM Saturday dates and the possibility of rain- offs yet still schedule a number of there rounds on these dates whereas they leave other Sunday’s blank- like Easter Sunday !!

Fair play Gladiators i definitely got that wrong. Campos still has it, a delight to see Wilson rolling back the years with a fine display and expected Stoneman to go very well but still not that well. IOW had the power scoring reserves running out 12-4 winners and Danno Verge getting over his ave and still lose. Morley can have an off night but not many with the way the team is built whilst a night on for Widman would be a plus. Finally best wishes to Jamie Bursill hope it was a precaution and nothing serious.

60 plus has to be the target tonight. A weak Diamonds team.

It's a pain in the backside with Speedway Star not publishing the times this year, but here is what you want, in heat order. 58.81; 59.53; 59.79; 58.47; 58.50; 58.31; 59.22; 60.16; 59.16; 59.25; 58.88; 58.97; 59.87; 59.16 and 59.25

Last time Danny rode therr for the diamonds well best not to mention it ... that's it in a nutshell...

NO , its because i like to give everyone a chance . i have a different outlook to what you have . fans expect an awful lot from other humans . its easy to pay your £16 or so and be the best supporter in the crowd. riding a bike and risking it all is a thing i would not like to do . how about you . are you a dare devil . can you eat wholemeal bread without butter on ? i bet you dunk biscuits in tea cos they are too hard to take on without being softened up first .give riders a chance . workington did with young Kyle Bickley in 18 and its now Glasgow who are getting the benefit from that .OH , to be perfect .

Belle Vue have never brought a coach to Poole in decades. Rob B used to organise a mini bus but since he got married that now doesn’t seem to happen. Didn’t see a single BV fan there tonight. But guess they know they were in for a spanking.

Enjoyable meeting with some good racing. Berwick so unlucky not to leave with all 3 points. The four who scored the points couldn’t be faulted. Leon can be excused for now, but Dany must improve his performances away from home. One decent gate, but was quickly swallowed up by the home riders. Impressed with Pickering with some breathtaking passes. There was some question over his win in heat 12, it looked as if Coty had pipped him, but we were nowhere near level to see. Unlucky not to be nominated for heat 15. Josh Bates was a very capable guest and scored about what I thought Nikolaj would. Hopefully he’s ok after his alarming looking heat 15 fall A point is a good, but could’ve been a cracking night for the Bandits with a bit of luck. Hopefully clinch a semi final place with a win at home on Saturday.

Not a bad meeting, good to see MPT stepping up to the plate , Barker needs to change his Lambretta engine bitterly cold too

Ironically the same caring people that sadly turn a blind eye when the dogs health is no longer a priority and they get the luxury of a bullet and landfill site to end their days

You bite every time! Shov constantly on the wind up.

Berwick have confirmed via email that dogs are allowed.

Still more titles than you

Exactly. Looks like BV only have glory hunting fans nowdays. How many years since their last title? A generation ago!

Yet there will be Poole fans making the trip all the way to Manchester on Monday for a lunchtime start. Guess we have fans who follow the team through thick and thin.

Who in their right mind would make a 500 mile round trip, on Thursday to watch speedway on 'that' circuit ?

I think that's generally correct. A bit ironic really as the dog I want to take is 90% greyhound.

It seems to be the stadiums that also run greyhounds are the ones that dont allow pet dogs in Perhaps is a health/vetinary type precaution(???)

I have seen dogs at Eastbourne in the past. There used to be a Jack Russell there that wore a small Eagles scarf!

It's called being ambitious

Two brand new ones exactly a year ago. He's been flying since. Not necessarily dodgy but brand new. Like he said he felt the difference and after a couple of good performances his confidence sky rocketed. Good for him, he's been struggling or almost making it for 15 years now.

Couple more of the good ones from him in Manchester and we’ll beat the brits in the last chance heat!

IT is my understanding that coverage of all practice sessions at 2019 SGPs will be screened via YouTube... certainly both Nigel Pearson and Kelvin Tatum will be in attendance.

That is pretty much what they have done with r/r and the extra rides for Worrell and Perks who is now reserve.

I think people are being a little unfair jaimon lidley look at Jason doyle for example we shall see

Why would anyone travel 4 hours each way on a week night when they know they are going to the worst track in the PL. It must have been bad again if even you said it was rubbish last night. Was thinking about coming down to 4 point road on Bank Holiday Monday but doesn't sound like it will be worth the hassle.

Yes 5:30 pm BT 3

Nice one lewy remember we are the worst team in the league some people said for a team what’s supposedly not very good ,a home win against Kent ,and away win minus Richie Andrews against a team with Morley and wood in it can’t be bad can it please all you experts keep writing us off as we seem to be doing rather well at the moment when you do.

lost one league match away at Leicester and already crying for changes get a grip

I think it depends on who the sponsor is to who gets motm!

Well all you experts got that wrong

Spot on Najjer , first time at the OTA this year for me. Racing wise the track was terrible anyone who went wide went backwards. Don't know if the possibility of rain influenced the way it was prepared. they used to rip up the outside before the start to create dirt ... not last night though. Rowe had a good meeting

Did you get the BOGOF deal of same time next year for the relegation parade

Pretty much a spot on business plan I would suggest... Go with six man teams to reduce wage bills (and provide replacements without needing guests) and charge £15 in with all school and college kids 18 and under free,... And you would have a pretty good chance of getting some decent crowds (with the atmosphere that decent crowds bring), I reckon..

It has to be Jacob it's a no brainer Nicholls hasn't been that brilliant and wouldn't expect him to keep it up. Jacob will be a 8+ rider Nicholls won't.You can't bring Jacob in as a replacement for Morris as his average is higher and he is in the original declared 1-7 & Nicholls is a temporary replacement, Nicholls could be a temporary replacement for Morris to save using R/R if Jacob is back 1st.
