If Poole had stayed in the top league Kurtz would most likely still be at Poole, so you should thank us for dropping down to allow you to use him.

Yes Oxford looked a poor team before PK got injured. Tac rides at home is not good and wont help much.

Riss can take a ride too.

Neither of the Cook brothers seem to be on fire at the moment but they will come good, Zach beating his brother is fairly rare too and no doubt Zach mentioned it on the way home!

I would be happy for the win too but it should be said their bottom end look weak, without the issues K Lynn had their lower order riders scores would have very low.

It would seem Kings Lynn had some bad luck but it also could be said Boughen should have withdrawn after his fall so Harris could have taken heat 8.

That is a translation issue I would imagine.

I appreciate the economics of cancelling Cardiff but I actually thought the racing last year was pretty good and crowds would have increased whereas the previous year the racing was poor so crowds were down. The racing at Belle Vue will be good but to pay more to sit in a stand at a poorer venue is not great value.

You would imagine Ipswich must be sick of the sight of Lambert!

Poole always tried to improve the team during the season back in the days when we were in the top league. Never saw anything wrong with it but we were always slated for doing it .

Yes it was the awful crash at Coventry, I was there and I spoke Chris Holder couple of years ago and he said he didnt think he would make it and I think a lot of us thought that in the stadium. Guests are a necessary evil because it is the only affordable way. I expect Lambert would have been only too pleased to help Ipswich if it had been allowed.

Not quite, Hancock was not World Champion at the time and I believe his first meeting for Poole was early August.

During the war Uncle Albert!!!

Well gating is half the battle, Kemp is a decent rider though and should be able to score well.

Morals in sport! Yes most of the trouble comes from how the rules are written. It doesn't take much for a highly paid lawyer to find a loophole. Years ago I thought it would mean more if we won the play offs and topped the final table because some would say we only won the play offs not the league but I don't think anyone cares about that anymore so all we worry about is getting in to the play offs.

With Brown sauce!

When he rode for Poole seemed to have an attitude problem but definitely has ability and if he continues this form could be a terrific signing.

This fixture should be on BSN I would have thought as the first leg was.

Ipswich were unlucky with injuries ,if you build the team around riders like Emil and Doyle, if they get injured they are irreplaceable, maybe they could of coped with one injured but both was just too much. The play offs are here to stay because they make an exciting end to the season and make a lot of money for the clubs involved. Nobody remembers the team that came top only the play off winners.

Not to mention the year when they had to get Robert lambert in.

It remains to be seen how he will fare over the season but I am not a Lewis Kerr fan and would rather have had Dan T who is an improving rider.

So pleased to see Dan Thompson going well, I would have liked him at poole this year but unfortunately we got Kerr, big mistake in my view.

So pleased for Danny King, he gets so much undeserved flak on here but proved the doubters wrong yet again.

Yes I seem to remember last year Kurtz was very good at Foxhall.I think Lidsey and Blodorn have had decent meetings there too.

I think he will be pretty good at Belle Vue but Ipswich can be tricky for the inexperienced although he wont be short of advice.
