read what people write!!!!! You can severe a spine and you can crush a spine. We don't know what Darcy had do we? Therefore the breakthrough might or might not help him. Jeez you seriously are thick

As sad as Darcys injuries are and its a tragedy why is the title of the thread about Darcy? Surely this should be aimed at all riders not just 1. Joe Owen, Per Jonsson, Krysztof Cegielski, Kim Jansson, Lawrence Hare, Garry Stead, Leigh Adams, all this riders have suffered devastating injuries but it seems we only keep reflecting on one. Is this cause it was most recent? Don't know

I'm confused as to why people say 'use the youngsters'. Who are these 'youngsters'?. Surely people don't want to see a team of Garrity Newman Howarth? We would be a laughing stock! Pick your strongest 4 it's that simple

The squad really isn't even open to any debate and the future looks bleak. The 4 riders will be Tai, Harris, Nicholls and Cook. I agree that Lambert should he progress is next in line. After that what do we have? The next best 3 are all premier league number ones who have been used before but fall short i.e Stead, King and Kennett. After that you also have the like of Barker and Bridger, both not good enough. I keep reading bout the youngsters well who are they? Garrity is a better option than Barker or Bridger but he isn't better than the other 3 I mentioned, and whoever thinks an elite league reserve and a below 7 average in the premier league like Kyle Newman should be anywhere near the squad needs their head testing. Our top 4/5 could hold its own but coming through there is nothing

where am I wrong? Ipswich are a well run club, nothing we did that season crippled us. I hated the idea of dropping down but am used to it and I have to admit it is an exciting league. Poole and Belle Vue look ahead of the others by some way. If you think that the Elite league looks good then quite clearly you are not a speedway fan. You want success and are not worried the effect it has on the sport. In the premier league this season there is 6 or 7 teams that could win it. Give me that rather than what the elite looks like serving up. And that season when we walked the league with Rickardsson Gollob Louis and Nicholls was rather boring. Nice to win a trophy but the racing wasnt good as we thrashed teams which isn't good for the sport.

not sure how you mean still paying for it but then again nothing you write makes sense. We are a well run club good crowds good racing. You just keep deluding yourself how wonderful your side is when quite clearly it's the weakest Elite league ever

going to have a bet on Belle Vue myself. Poole are no odds on shots as to me the 3 heat leaders of Belle Vue will outscore the heat leaders of Poole. Second string wise Brady could just try that little to hard and Fricke is more experienced. Hans should go well and Poole are stronger in reserve. However the season looks a 2 horse race and a boring elite league. Always preferred the top division but glad my team are in the premier so should see good racing

Starman with another classic. I'm with you Lisa, I'm not sure one person could be that thick so I put it down to trolling

Not making a meal of it but 99% of fans are saying Monday for a race night for a reason, 99% of fans know that sky run elite league meetings on a Monday as the top boys will be there as Sweden and Poland don't race on Mondays. Can't get my head around why you wouldn't know that

and the award for daft post of the year goes to????????

You seriously believe that do you? How naive to even think that is the case.

asking for him to explain what? It's not hard to see the elite league this season is the weakest it has ever been so how does that need any explanation?

are you saying you think the elite league is strong then? Because it's pretty obvious the best riders don't race here and the league is weak

Kings Lynns team does look weak i grant you but i cant agree about Coventrys team. Poole, Belle Vue and Swindon look the top 3 teams but i will place Coventrys as 4th compared to the others. Thet have the 4th best heat leader trio. A solid second string in Garrity (ok the pole is unknown) and a good reserve duo. I would put Coventry ahead of Leicester, Wolves , Lakeside and Kings Lynn

The rule is simple British number 7. So Edinburgh think its ok to try to manipulate the system and bring in a non brit because he might just might better than a British lad. Nothing to do with whats in the best interests its to do with whats in the rules so why should Edinburgh try and change things? Oh its because they have failed to sign a decent enough one already and have missed the boat. Its wrong that they should try and sign Davey and none of your spin on the situation changes that.

Ipswich will be there or there abouts this season How you can put Edinburgh in there and not Ipswich i cant fathom. King v Masters = King Covatti v Wolbert = Wolbert Kerr v Fisher = Draw Risager v Riss = Risager Sarjeant v Jye = Sargeant Paco v Clegg = Clegg Can only see Edinburgh stronger than us in 2 areas and if Kerr returns in form then he is better than Fisher , a has been on the way down. If you dont rate Ipswich thats fine but its a better side than Edinburgh

Well most of the teams are in and i can see 3 strong teams, 2 vying for the other position and 1 dark horse. Glasgow , Ipswich and Newcastle in the play offs. Sheffield and Peterborough (depending on last signing) vying for the other spot. Berwick to finish higher than most expect

Brady Kurtz is definatly up to being an elite league second string. There isnt much between Kurtz and Tungate as Rohan did a good job for Poole a few seasons back. Tungate was simply disillusioned at Ipswich last season and admitted to not even trying sometimes Admittedly Kurtz has far more potential fair play but i never have used the word hate for anyone on here. Starman is simply a prat couldnt say i hate him. and yes Kurtz made the final but looking at the field he should have expected to really as the only other 2 riders that finished below him was Josh G and Jack Holder who you would expect him to finish above, and Morris apparantly had machine issues. He should be capable of beating Tungate Fricke and Masters on a regular basis so although he made the final he possibly should be expected to most times. Have to say its the poorest Aussie champs field ive ever seen, No Holder, Ward, Doyle, Batchelor makes it very open

i think maybe he has had a fully deserved little holiday courtesy of the mods or simply has cowardly backed out of the limelight and will creep his way back in when he feels the dust has settled. I see SCB has apologised for his choice of words and why he used them. Unfortunatly the thread is locked so cant applaud him for those actions, though i saw no issue with anything he wrote in the first place. Also in his apologies he states he will not apologise to Starman.... tells you what we all think of him. Would be nice if Starman could come on here (or the horse racing thread) and apologise for his behaviour but as we know he is spineless in that regard. Anyway happy new year to all the decent Poole fans Chris4gillian, foreverblue, lisa-colette , skidder (yes you may not like me but your a decent enough person i feel) and the others ive missed. Still hope you dont win the league though lol

hopefully you have gone back to school now. pathetic little weasel let me know when you have a number 1

it is only one person thats causing the issues on the Poole thread and every other thread he pops up on (which apparantly is fine for him to do but nobody else can) im the first to hold my hands up and admit i lose it with him and quite rightly some of you are annoyed at my posts about him which ive apologised for. however he is the issue and that has been acknowledged by other Poole fans not just fans of other clubs. stop skirting round the issue and try to make him see the problems he causes

nothing wrong with anyone coming into ANY thread to chat about what they want. Nothing wrong with people having an opinion that's what a forum is there for. However in at least 3 recent posts , Jerran Hart, Chris Holder and the Grand National he made statements. He was factually proved that his statements were incorrect. Not opinions but facts. Instead of admitting he was wrong he resorts to name calling and a volley of abuse. Do you expect myself or others to just sit back and say nothing while he just rants and rants? He than has the audacity to say daft things like rules are rules if others dare to make even the slightest comment. Sorry we are all entitled to opinions but he argues facts. That is either a troll or a fool. Someone who can't hold their hands up and admit there wrong is a coward and someone that reports people when they are far worse is a weasel. The man constantly drags Pooles name down on this and it also appears other forums. Sorry for this rant but it needs to be said

i do yes I love to word things to suit myself like Holder never saying he would ride for anyone else for example. They are my own words and not factual at all. Your caught out spouting rubbish on a daily basis on most threads like the horse racing one where yet again you can't answer when provided with facts. Take a look at EVERYONES posts your a joke and absolute fool who is in danger of closing his own clubs forum. Sad sad little man

your biggest problem is that when you are presented with FACTUAL information you still drone on and on. You are a coward

Thanks to the decent Poole fans on here. Apologies I get irate with your village idiot but I sense you all mock him anyway! Plus I don't actually slag Poole off on here only the odd time. As I say it's the biggest thread with the most discussion and I won't allow a complete and utter tool to stop me posting. He gets mocked on every threaf you think he would take a hint
