If they are still gardening they aren't ready to race, simples.

The rule is a good thing. It's just a case of the riders getting into the habit of staying ON their bikes at the start line. In saying that, ALL tracks should have a 2 minute clock on track.

I can understand if he was on stand by for Bates at Leicester.

He has saved plenty by ensuring his team look will look like the Poundland Pirates

Plus that's down to the team managers to pass on to. Both were dreadful on the new ruling tonight and no lessons learned throughout.

So much hype about Aussie champ Tungate in the close season, as usual fails to deliver. Aces fans better hope he isn't starting 2018 like he did 2017. First meetings gremlins out the way for those expecting better things. Good to see Stevie scoring big. Hope he has a big year.

MF and other promotions were able to use outdated lists whilst Wolves and Belle Vue weren't allowed to play by those same rules. So some teams are already a head start of others. Poole getting another advantage then. Poor way to treat a club asset, but it's not unusual tho is it really?

MF only wants him when he is on a low average. Good on Kyle for staying with Leicester who supported and stuck by him last year. I'd be shocked if Kyle ever went back, I bet even he has lost count the amount of times they have let him down.

Woryna beat Lindgren 2 seasons ago at Monmore.

With the team you have you should be running riot home and away.

So which one is it. Should we fear you or do you expect to be beat?? You have to laugh when someone forgets about bragging and then gets a reality check.

Fully agree. If Newman was ever going to achieve anything like that level in the top flight he would be dominating in the 2nd tier by now. In fact the last season's he has dropped year on year in the 2nd division. 6.84 (2015), 6.31 (2016), 6.10 (2017). A good reserve , and pretty poor second string in the top flight. That's pretty much his level. No doubt he had ambitions much higher than that and injuries have halted process but not to the level of top flight heat leader. I don't. I will be waiting to mock you if you fail.

Perfect reason why team suits work well. Very professional. Tons better than the poundland use your own approach of some.

He will be.

As Poole are the overwhelming favourites everyone will be laughing when you get your first defeat and the excuses start coming out. Oh we will laugh. I'm sure you won't take seriously either.

As previously stated. It's agreed by both parties. Don't believe any of the nonsense some are saying that we are 'running scared'. Pure tripe. Best to face ANY team early on as riders are still adjusting to track conditions particularly if you have riders who haven't ridden here for a while.

In reply to the 3 quoted posts. Wolves have done nothing wrong. Poole called off a meeting 3 seasons ago against Lakeside due to missing riders and citing 'damaging their business'. I didn't think you could call off matches or change dates because of missing riders either, however Poole have done it in the past so what Wolves are doing is no different. Wolves are entitled to their P&P day as it's important to the press and media as well as their sponsors. So without one it would also 'damage business'. Nothing new to see here I'm afraid. Precisely. Nothing to see here. The press release quite clearly says MF agreed to rearranging date. So its completely fine.

Well pointed out.

Why should it? Press and practice is important and vital for ALL teams. Again why? So it's okay to penalise a team that can't practise because of the weather when others have?? Matt Ford has agreed to it so there is really nothing make an issue of. I see that Shovlar has his wooden spoon out, it's quite funny tho.

I thought it was a well known fact he wanted to join his brother at Somerset and he had to stay at Poole because they wanted him. Worst kept secret if not!

Close season early fixture with no known form to base any real opinion so I'd say a small home win of 6-10 points.

It's clearly been done to affect teams who have low averaged riders ie Wolves and belle Vue. All GP standard riders with an average less than 8 who didnt ride here in 2017 were regraded to a 9, yet Vaculik is given an 8 which surely is the benchmark to treat all teams and riders fairly?? Another example of the blind leading the blind. Pawlicki (Wolves asset who if not wanted by Wolves seemed destined for Poole), Woffy (Wolves asset had spoken to CVS about a return due to fixed night racing) and Zagar (Aces rider who was keen to come back but another vetoed by the establishment) all targeted by the governing body. You have to feel if it was a promoters vote then both Wolves and Aces can feel victimised.

I absolutely hope not! Unless it's as a second string.

Most riders suss Monmore out pretty well, I guess it's in the head of those that struggle to be consistent there. True, all contributing facts

It's a weird one . I've seen him ride it really well. I guess he just isn't a fan of racing on it most times.
