I would have thought competing for trophies with the crowds that attend produces more revenue than developing home grown talent.

Hume is a nice guy but not good enough at this level.

I agree there are many that see both, I sat next to a Kings Lynn fan at a football match in London last week but it isnt Bournemouth playing next Wednesday and I wouldn't think too many Poole fans support Arsenal. It should be a good game to watch though, PSG play some amazing football and I fully expect them to win. I understand you think some may want to stay home and watch it on tv rather than see the Pirates live.

Not sure a Arsenal champions league game played in France would have much affect.

He may just need more time to settle in!

I don't there is any danger of not making the play offs but winning the title again is going to be more difficult. we need Rowe and Zach to continue their early season form and Kerr to improve.

I agree with most of your points, Kerr is not as good as Ben or Tom, I am sure he will be better than he has showed up to now but whether we can win with him in the team is very debatable. Rowe on the other hand has massive potential and has shown he is capable of putting at least a point on his average.

With magic the only rider who was winning races, he should of used him as a tactical although it has to be said Wright nearly pulled it off.

I think Oxford are making excuses, they have all ridden Kings Lynn many times

At last a bit of Magic

Putting in Wright as a tac is crazy

I know he only scored 2 for Poole but he is better than that so expect a decent score from him although Kemp is capable of beating him doubt Gilkes is.

Maybe he wasn't asked. You know how on the ball your promotion are!

I think it is a reduced facility for Zagar.

Oh dear you have stirred him up again, some people just aren't worth responding to. It is tainting the whole idea of having some races in memory of a much loved ex rider.

I did say it was probably just a bad night and I am sure he will be better next time.

Exactly and all this debate on the few extra races that were in memory of a former rider is just crazy. I am not a Ipswich fan but I hope they win the league, getting unfair criticism for building a great team and some accusing their fans of arrogance is ridiculous especially considering how last season finished.

A heat leader of Kerr's stature scoring 2 is awful, why not blame him, it was his fault, Why should he need to settle in? He has ridden all the tracks many times. I didn't say I did not want him, I said he was not a favourite of mine but while he rides for my team I will support him. He will come good I am sure, probably just an off night as he rode well for Sheffield the other day. I may have made a derogatory comment about Tom as at the time I felt he was doing too much and was obviously worn out. I was at Oxford that night so I may have commented, I cant remember but he certainly didnt let anyone down in the second leg so I expect Lewi will bounce back, better to have a bad night than get an injury or a re-occurrence of an old injury and he has had some bad ones.

I think you can blame most of it on him, 2 points from your second best rider! Who do you blame then?

No idea what was up with him tonight, rode well for Sheffield the other day. You know I am not a fan of his but he is meant to be a professional!

Sheffield have overall strength now especially at reserve although Sedgeman maybe a concern, Kerr could be a great signing at reserve, Belle Vue have a definite weakness at reserve.

I expect Doyle did not take part as he had a fall earlier in the meeting.

It is what happens when the teams are mismatched.

Zach seems to have gone up a level this season which is to our benefit and Belle Vue's. I agree Tobias was very impressive and now he has had a season he will be better at away tracks too. Apart from Marson I thought all the team looked good, didnt think Starke was great at Oxford but was better last night although against weaker opposition.

Marson is a poor rider, we just have to cope with 6 riders at the moment and it was boring for some partly because the Pirates have a much better team, Plymouth looked poor and partly because we won which doesnt suit some peoples agenda.
