  1. Couldn’t disagree more. Respect your opinion though
  2. I don’t see any “attack” on Poole at all. Like I say, he seems to me to make valid reasonable points but hey ho.
  3. Totally agree. I’ve seen nothing wrong with Gavin’s posts whatsoever. In fact, he seems to make some very good valid points. The reaction from others is bizarre to say the least.
  4. Have to agree. Both those meetings you couldn’t say were classics (Bank Holiday Monday was always going to be difficult as a day meeting) but like you I’ve seen far worse. The other home meetings have been much better though and I’ve already said we’ve been treated to some great racing this season. Lets see what Monday brings in front of the cameras for everyone to see.
  5. Agreed. You obviously don’t want to see ANY rider injured, but in terms of the team, he’s the one we’re going to miss on track the most at the moment. Bates is a decent choice though so it’ll be interesting to see how he gets on.
  6. I was going to say before he posted himself that Baldyman never used to visit the official website or the local paper websites. I doubt he’s alone either. Plus, always better and more interesting to hear such things directly from a promoter himself than a journalist imo. Seems anything is fair game for a little pop on here these days though Was just trying to be helpful.
  7. It’s for the benefit of those on here that don’t go on either clubs websites or read the Poole echo.
  8. He’s a good egg is Chris. Ask him a question and more often than not he’ll give you a reply. Pity more don’t do the same.
  9. Think that was a tongue in cheek comment I don’t think any of us really think we’re going to win the title this year. All most of us wanted in our first season back in the top flight was to see some good racing, and to be competitive and so far we’ve succeeded on both counts.
  10. Well then it’s a crying shame there aren’t far more people like me then isn’t it. The sport would be much better off. I wont let a rider missing here or there or rules being tinkered with that to us outsiders, make little sense, put me off going to support my local Speedway team. Others feel differently, that’s their prerogative of course. Theres ALWAYS been all sorts of shenanigans going on in Speedway as far back as I remember, even in the “glory days” of the 70’s and 80’s! Some of them far far Dodgier than what goes on today.
  11. Sorry that makes zero sense to me. It doesn’t matter who the riders are, where they come from or their nationality. The current seven riders that are wearing Witches kevlars are representing my home town team, the team I support so of course they’re my team. If a rider or two are missing for whatever reason, whoever comes in for one meeting only and wears a Witches race jacket, will also be representing “my team”. We’ll agree to disagree.
  12. None of those will have a Witches race jacket/suit on though so I’ll save my money to watch the team I support
  13. Again unsporting nonsense. None of Wolves, Poole or Lynn managed to beat “that Panthers side” did they? We didn’t just win either, we stuffed you so yes, it was impressive IMO.
  14. Poole look stronger with those changes. Nicholls remains a track specialist and the Swindon fella was very impressive a couple of weeks back and seemed to love the place. Not really bothered about this one in all honesty, we have bigger fish to fry. More concerned about the current league leaders picking up another 3 points against Wolves on Monday
  15. Not sure if it was mentioned but well done Danny on a new TR last night too.
  16. Soon we could conceivably have two from KP, King and Bellego at reserve!
  17. BWD and Summers on paper SHOULD be a match for ours, especially on their own circuit. Makes our very easy victory all the more impressive.
  18. Neither Lynn or Poole managed a win here, and we’ve not just won but won convincingly with a big 4 points. We’ve started the season very very well it has to be said.
  19. Not much interest in this one it seems! Think it looks a good close battle myself. Tough to call
  20. I think Jake needs to invest in a set of golf clubs!
  21. https://ipswichwitches.co/peterborough-v-ipswich-raceday-preview/
  22. I used to find the BBC forecast as accurate as any, but that was when they got their readings from the Met Office. Since they changed their source of meteorologist , they’ve been as useful as a chocolate fire guard IMO.
