Perhaps the answers in your name ?

Tom's a really tough lad and remarkable how he came back from injuries especially his broken leg when he had to be put in an induced coma for a week. But hey let's hope the discussion whos best between him and Jordon keeps going and going to the top.

Unfortunately looks like the Premiership junior league is just lip service as before and unlikely to happen again this season.

Sad to say I think you Peterborough fans have to treat every season from now on as it could be the last one and enjoy it whilst you can ( no different to most clubs really). Will Buster lose interest more quickly and pull out of the showground at the first opportunity?....

Scientists have been trying to find the missing link for decades.....

Is the rocking up at the gate something to do with age and dodgy knees and hips?

Out of hibernation then

The number 8 is really just a pr stunt along with the Premiership junior league to make people think they're doing something to promote the up and coming riders instead of putting more effort into a proper NL, but hey....

Sad about Les Fineing, seem to have been a lot of supporters/sponsors lost to us and other clubs over the last year.

I'm sure some positive pr before 2023 will help, but don't think they'll be a lot of bad feeling anyway. Perhaps we could burn an effergy of a certain someone on the centre green during press and practice to expel the ghost? Too radical maybe .

I think Poole as usual will be there at the end, personally can't believe Glasgow won't finish above Plymouth and Oxford, but that's the joy of our sport, different veiws.

Sarcastic head on today then?

....And Shoeless Joe, although he'll be in trouble around the bends....

Perhaps the track should be named " the field of dreams" ?

That looks a perfect size length/width etc. What's amazing is if someone wound it on and rode most of the race near the boards ( unlikely I know) distance wise could be nearly an extra lap against someone riding the white line! Bet some of the brave on the boards riders like Chris Harris will love coming here, especially if it's a bit grippy .

I suppose most fans are concerned rather than being negative, and the 1000 attendance statement didn't do any favours, but as you say wait until the last signings and see then.

That would be a great signing, but assume whatever he's done work wise since 'retirement' if successful would anyone really want to swop that in the current climate?

Only trouble is did they really make the grade when they previously came over, not really, and probably worse now if still riding, and you would have to pay the current rate for a rider who's substandard championship level. It just again shows the damage the powers that be did by finishing off a competitive NL of a few seasons ago for self interest, I'm sure the conveyor belt of the Brennen's, Palin etc would have continued to a greater extent than it has since. I know it won't answer all the problems with rider shortage, but I bet Birmingham, Eastbourne, Kent and others would have stayed in a competitive NL, less teams in the championship so more riders to go round and continuing to bring through the young talent. Too much of a threat to the upper leagues though.

I maybe selfish, speedway heaven for me is both.

Although a far higher level in his prime, wasn't Bjarne Pedersen slightly in that mould? How many times did he lead from the gate and was almost impossible to pass, but not quite in the Holder/ Ward league at coming from the back. I'm not comparing like for like but there is as much skill to gate and stay there, sure his points hauls will overcome a slightly less exciting rider.

Plus if the Poole/Basso spit was acrimonious, may have been a feeling on both sides Basso would never ride for Poole again, so why not cash in and get a reliable top performer in the championship, can either continue to use him or get loan fees, and as said this could be Basso's last season in GB.

Is it an optical illusion or is there quite a slope from the far bend to the one closest to the camera? Looks good whatever.

Maybe not the right thread but is there any money to be made at grasstack at Mulfords level, or is it just the excitement/adrenaline, plus a chunk towards the costs ( or maybe fund it ) and be able to work during the week?

Assuming as expected that is the team, if Poole are at worst within a few points by heat 11, they're unlikely to lose many matches, especially at home again.

That's a bit ripe coming from a Brummie fan with their renowned track prep....just saying
