It's already been mentioned, and that suspicion will always be there. As for not putting him in his line up, I think Mr Ford is well within his rights to go with Kasprzak instead as it frees up more points and gives their team a much better balance. With Holder they would probably be looking at having to go without one of Holder, Kurtz or Newman or with carp reserves or a weak second heat leader. I think it's the right call.

If my Auntie had balls etc.... I don't think there is any doubt that Glasgow's two reserves have improvement in them and probably Lunna too. Just depends if their improvement along with Bewley can trump Sheffield's and everyone else's. Looks like a really open title race this year and I have a feeling there will be at least one surprise package.

Polish restriction?

Nothing pointless about correcting an inaccuracy.

It will be Kurtz.

Have you actually read the thread properly?

Habit.

That's fine, but why come out with all that other squit when others say it's Belle Vue? How about having an adult discussion instead and telling us WHY you think it's the Oak Tree Arena? Personally I'd put Somerset third behind Belle Vue and Scunthorpe but it's all about opinions, and that doesn't mean that I don't think that Somerset is a fantastic race track because it is.

Do you mean the Championship?

Bloody hell, what's the points limit going to be?

Wow, Starmans blinkered bias extends to Somerset too

Berge and/or Riss would be excellent signings for Belle Vie. Unfortunately signing for a Friday night Championship club scuppers that idea for Riss.

Not at all, if the minimum average for foreigners who had already ridden here was five or six I'd have no qualms at all. We may well reap the rewards of him being pretty poor last year and I imagine we will but he could well be pony again. However you can't use last year's PL averages and a 1.4 conversion for those who don't have them and not raise assessed averages too.

Absolutely barmy that new foreigners were ever considered to be coming in on four or five.

Not sure he will prove better than Puk. Equally as good will do nicely.

You used to be a good contributor to the forum. What happened?

Lol, since when has Twitter been gospel? That said there is always that risk with riders associated with Poole. Better than the alternative of no competitive number one. Huckenbeck would be at reserve.

Well my Dad is bigger than all of your Dads put together. So there.

Talking more about Starmans treatment of Burntfaceman on here.

Common sense prevails, should never have been a five in the first place.

Bewley has to be one of the first names on the teamsheet. Ditching Auty from that team and replacing with a 5 ish pointer would be a far better bet.

That's the risk with Holder or any Poole stalwart.

So anyone who doesn't toe the Lord Ford party line is an idiot?

I've said this several times before. As good a promoter as Ford is (putting all the stunt pulling to one side for a moment) he promotes in an ideal area of the country, the wealth and tourism in the area make it hard to fail to get people through the door.
