Nicholls is very good at Monmore, i expect a good score from him

I meant missing league meetings here but riding league meetings abroad when apparently injured.

Personally have no problem with a rider riding in a gp and missing league racing, every point is vital in the gp's and i didn't mind when Tai did it. It only annoys me when riders ride in league abroad and not here.

Poole will benefit if Freddie isn't fit as he is almost unbeatable at Wolves but r/r wont be too bad for them as Thorsell, Schlein and Masters all have been very good at Monmore this season. Klindt will have more on his olate as Riss is a much better rider than Clegg who was very poor last time Poole rode there. It is Zengota's first meeting and some seem to think he will get near a maximum! I hope he does but not likely. Holder is riding alot better now than the last he rode there and i think he will be missed while Kurtz rarely rides well there and Newman is not riding well since his injury return. Ipswich fans want him sacked he's been so poor.

Zengota could be a masterstroke, time will tell but if we keep him over KK then we have 4 points to strengthen lower down.

He was at reserve in our last meeting, when did he move out of reserve?

If we get a good guest for KK then we should get a point,Schlein and Riss have made a big difference, Kurtz and Holder are going well, Newman is usually good at Wolves and with Klindt at reserve should be able to keep it close.

To be fair i thought Kennett was getting better at bigger tracks but this Rye House team is always going to struggle away from home.

Unfortunately I can't make either as we are away which is a shame as it is one of my favourite away tracks.

I was among those who thought KK would do a decent job and he may yet prove a good signing.

I said he maintains his equipment is good not that his equipment is well maintained.

I know I said that!

Personally I do not see any point in replacing KK yet he won't be at Wolves next Monday but he is crap at Monmore even on good form so that is a bonus, I expect they will give him a couple of meetings to prove he can still do a job at number one when he comes back from injury, he maintains his equipment is good so he is blaming himself which is refreshing as most blame equipment when things are not going well.

i have faith in KK too, i am sure he will be given time to prove he can be a matchwinner.

If we got Kacper back and I would welcome him back but he isn't a replacement for KK, if KK were to go, Kacper would have to be part of a double change and currently that would be very harsh on the second rider that got dropped. Personally I would like to see us giving KK a chance to show he is still a world class rider.

Double headers are usually not that good anywhere but just because it is a small track doesn't make it bad or not entertaining. If it was as bad as you say why has the British Final been there so often? Scotty Nicholls is better at Monmore than Belle Vue maybe you should ask him if he considers it a bad track.

Never seen Lindgren wobble at Monmore and I have been to quite a few, possibly Woffinden when he first came back found it tricky but having been to quite a few meetings at Wolves and planning to go again soon as it is Poole's next meeting I don't remember seeing many riders wobble as you put it. I find it a very enjoyable racetrack to visit and usually get good racing.

Particularly bad on bends one and two I heard!!

Problem with Jake Knight is he lacks ability!

On Polish website says ankle then mentions a crack in tibia

He won't be riding anywhere for a while.

i don't think many Poole fans want Shanes to go, he has got masses of potential and as you say is improving all the time, to put pressure on him to get points way above his average is wrong. Paul Starke is a good rider and he is unlucky to have been let go, most Poole fans would welcome him back but can't see it happening with the current line up.

Tony R was always better after the meeting, often didn't want a chat before the meeting which is understandable whereas someone like Zorro was always chatty anytime. It is part of the reason i love speedway the riders are generally so willing to chat with the fans.

i hope this isn't the end for Kacper Gomolski in Britain as he is a entertainer and a very good rider, maybe he will be back at Poole sometime.

Maybe not you but a lot do. Darcy may not be whiter than white but his past is behind him and in my opinion should not be castigated for what he did as a teenager.
