I expect Newman thinks the same probably.

Can blow hot and cold, but the Eastie fans took him to heart last season until the debacle of non payment, always a trier and capable at times of beating the opposition No1, certainly at Arlington.

Just a shame it appears for Poole that they've what looks like having no chance of him riding for them again. I know it's a pr exercise, but may have come back at somepoint, especially if Poole did go back to the Premiership, sure a more subtle press release could have been concocted leaving the door open, but appeasing the fans.

Or bad grammar, and now you're covering up .

It is, looks like a burning bridge scenario to me, must have been pretty heated for Poole to come out publicly like this. Mind you if he's as good as we're led to believe maybe only here a couple of seasons at most and then off to pastures new/richer.

Swop naughty for short sighted stupidity, but what's new there.

How about the Workington Ospreys, have they not been reintroduced somewhere not that far from Workington ?

Are IOW not called the Warriors? Maybe the Wildcats, used to be used by Weymouth when they ran for a while.

I think I could be the one, I can turn wine into water, and I'm only a 2 pinter, sorry pointer.

Pantomime season is upon us!

Seem to remember Exeter doing it a long time ago, unbeatable on their fearsome home track, not very good away. Was the day's of the bonus point which they always got due to the big home wins, not sure how it would have worked out with the current points system, but probably would have as well.

Probably dodgy scap dealers, proper ones now only seem to pay into a bank account and not in cash.

About on par with Jason Edwards, but a couple of years in hand. We might have had a good team in a few years with those 2 and Brennen as the core.

Surely it should be treated as organised crime and treated accordingly. The problem we have in this country is if anything in any situation ( and there are a lot )is deemed to be from a minority group no one wants to deal it because of the fear of the comeback , especially on social media, sad times.

Good self appraisal it seems to me .

Still look on the bright side, at least they contribute to society and pay their taxes!! Think the problem is country wide, down south there's earth banks and telephone pole thickness reinforced steel gates/barriers around local recreation fields and parks etc. There are a couple of purpose built sites I can think of, but it does seem they prefer the sites like parks and the Worky site, so when they do get moved on they can leave all their s**t.

Too much valuable copper for that idea to work I think !!! (Sorry Neila beat me to it)

On that basis do you really want to come back to NDL as it is? Imagine what you know now can be developed and put on an even better family oriented show, certainly young children's attention span is only a couple of races, throw different things in, and keep their attention can only be a good thing.

Exactly, what ifs can be said for every team, every season gone by with outcomes that have gone either way, the glass half full people will think one way, the half empty the other, as is always proved on here. It's the Ipswich team you've got and to be honest the points shortfall of use is neither here or there really, at least give it a chance, it's definitely not a no hope team in my veiw and who knows if the what ifs go the right way.

Edinburgh I expect as Poole are still going through their 'vast array' of rider negotiations to announce yet I imagine .

Most of them .

Bet Glasgow and Poole are 'glad' of Easties demise, reserves from this year for Poole and maybe the best of the the young Brits for the future in the UK, thanks Ian Jordon

Are there enough riders left to make up an 'array' ?

Don't think you're missing anything.

That's what grates so much, we've always been a club with a conscience, and a speedway heritage, always known for prompt payment of riders etc. Going to need some good PR, but does look positive from the noises coming from the new set up.
