would that be the same Rohan Tungate who with a point to prove only scored 8 and didn't win a race when he rode here the other week?? He was beaten by every heat leader and Risager. He can't ride Foxhall so happy to see him go on loan thanks

Always remember back in the 80's when i really took more notice of the sport and there were so many mascots and juniors all tipped to be the next big thing. Paul Whittaker Mark Loram Joe Screen Justin Elkins Troy Pratt I seem to remember Elkins being the most heavily touted of that bunch but never amounted to much. When i was about 5 (early 80's) we used to go to Rye House every Sunday. Grew up with the team of Garrad, Mullarkey, Naylor, Fines. Cox and it could be argued a couple of those never fulfilled what they could have. From there obviously Andrew Silver came along and was sensational but could have been so much more. I always remember Rye having a couple of reserves John Barclay? Steve Bryenton? I think they were older but my memory from being that age isnt great , but they used to do well. From going to watch Ipswich we had match races after meetings, firstly Ben Howe and Savalas Clouting then latterly Scott Nicholls and Leigh Lanham. Savalas never had a killer instinct and Ben Howe never achieved what he should have done after being touted at 14 as the next big one. I would even place David Howe in the bracket of under achiever from his potential as a 14 year old. Then very recently Josh Auty at 13 was supposedly the next one to be destined for greatness and he to hasnt gone on

Its a farcical situation. What good will it do Ellis to get beat every week in a false position. Thought the idea of the reserves was to bring young British riders on. We now see situations where the current Aussie champion is at reserve, and even riders like Tungate and Masters down there as well. Leave 6 and 7 as the 6 and 7 all season. Its crazy that the rules allowed Kyle Newman to be in the draft but thats Pooles gain and i believe him and Ellis should stay 6 and 7 all season

sorry but earlier you said I know nothing! Walasek been dropped ages ago! I fancy Poole to top 60 and Boyce and Tony Langdon to get double figures

Erm this is my post. I spelt it correctly thanks. I spelt it correctly!!! I was taking the mickey out of Starmans spelling! I spelt it correctly Lisa , have a look at the post

Im not belittling Kyle Newman but he just seems to be the be all and end all for all Poole fans. As of yet he hasnt achieved as much as Garrity and i dont think he is as good as Worrall.

Part time fan lol. Do you have to go every week to have knowledge then?? Between the ages of 12 and 25 i would go Ipswich, Arena, Hackney and Rye House so usually 4 meetings a week. I know enough pal. I know Tai Woffinden is a 2 time World Champion that is British and should be celebrated. I only get angry with idiots mate

But how close is Coventry to Leicester? Never heard of Liecester!

Every track has volunteers so dont try and big yourself up. So your life is none of my business? correct. And my life is none of yours so stop stirring regarding the amount of times i go to watch my club. I happily admit i dont go much so why that should concern you is a mystery to me. Maybe going every week like yourself gives you the biased view you have, with regards to saying that Newman is better than Worral!

correct I go to Ipswich once a month. Thing is pal I have a life. I live an hour from the track, I work for a living and I have a family. Those things mean that I don't go every week like I used to in the 90's. If I still lived at home with my mummy and got in for free to sell the speedway star I would go every week.

thanks for your honesty re Newman and Worrall. You can't really judge a rider on Leicesters track either!

I have agreed the Newman would have outscored Worrall tonight........but he isn't a better rider. Hans passed 2 riders in the last and updates said Hans led and slowed the race up for Holder to pass the 2 Leicester boys? I agree you must be lucky to watch at Poole .............at least Leicester is the only track worse in the league! Because quite clearly Ellis was struggling and Worrall had just won a race. Surely you want to win a meeting so dropping your own rider has to be the right call.

and on his last visit to Lakeside ,Newman got 6 +2 and Worrall got 17+1, so what point you trying to make??? Worrall doesn't score well at Leicester so you have to question the booking then?? Try reading my response to Blupanther when I said Newman would have scored more than Worrall tonight!!! One poor meeting on a track he doesn't ride well at doesn't make Worrall a worse rider. Only 2 people on the thread have said Newman is better and we all know who. There isn't any evidence to suggest otherwise

you are right Newman would have scored more than Worrall tonight. Your not allowed a bad meeting when you ride for Poole. Lets be fair its only dumb and dumber who think Newman is better

It's laughable really firstly the same duo of shovvy and starry believe that Newman is better than Worrall when quite clearly he isn't and they have yet to find anyone agreeing with them. Then they have the audacity to moan about the track! Leicesters track is poor but the one club with a track just as bad is Poole. God they love any old excuse Nice to see the Poole management replacing Ellis with Worrall!!!

no he isn't but Worrall always poor at Leicester so you have to question who booked him! Steve Worrall is better than Newman check their season scores in both premier and elite league if you can find any other speedway fan outside Poole who says Newman is better I will be amazed. Worrall is the better rider one bad night don't change that. There is only you and Starman who think Kyle is better but then you two aren't exactly known for knowledge just bias!

someone else moaning about Poole fans and someone else talking about Poole fans and someone else talking about Poole fans oops even a Poole fan talking about Poole fans You need to learn to read nobody taking a pop at Poole just the fans Spot on. Having a go at Poole fans not the club. Bless them for getting their knickers in a twist Helmsley has made mistakes mainly the track but instead of seeing the bigger picture the usual same people come on here with thier bilge slagging the man off. Must be easier next season just to have an Elite league of just Poole might stop them all from enjoying other clubs from folding. But its ok as all promotors should follow the Matt Ford way and everything would be just fine. You do have to wonder about the way some of these Poole fans minds work. Leicester, Coventry , maybe Swindon may not even go to the tapes next season. Ipswich Peterborough Eastbourne Birmingham all dropped out in recent times. This isnt because the clubs arent run properly its the way the sport is going

and there in lies the problem. Poole fans who have this attitude that ' im alright jack and sod the rest' is exactly the reason why the sport is declining. Typical response

Exactly Worrall is a better rider than Newman spot on In 4 away matches Worrall has scored 44 and 5 bonus so he clearly is in better form than Newman, same in the premier league. Only worry for Poole fans is that his worst score was 6 from 4 at Leicester.

Poole should win this by 10 at least. An in form rider in Steve Worrall instead of Newman makes Poole stronger so should be comfortable. Well done Adam Ellis beating juniors by half a lap in a league he shouldn't even be riding in!

who is the current Australian champion so pretty poor he just scraped through really. And you bang on that Ellis is a false heat leader and you damn well know Kurtz is a false reserve.

you would rather Hans and Kurtz got through than Cook and Lambert????

What if Eliis keeps scoring well and stays there?? An if you read my post you will see i havent mentioned anything about Ellis riding Premier League as he should be allowed to. What is wrong is that he is doing National League, apparantly for testing!! That is stopping youngsters riding at that level and is wrong Cook wants to have more meetings nothing wrong with that.

You talk some absolute garbage at times. Adam Ellis is a heat leader yet you seem to think thats fine for him to go even lower than the premier league and ride national league!! Come on give your reason why thats ok but Cook isnt??? A British rider wants more track time surely thats good for Team GB isnt it?? Adam Ellis shouldnt be allowed to ride National League its disgraceful that a rider of his ability takes a place from a young English lad. You want Josh G not to ride premier league?? You want Danny King not to ride premier league?? Do you even think before you post?? Do you know the reason Cook's move was blocked?? I believe you dont. He isnt allowed to double up because the race nights clash. If it was another club it would have been fine as quite rightly it should. Lets hope Ellis is barred , as he should be, from National League and that if Kyle Newman is a heat leader then he is stopped from riding for Plymouth! What a strange post

The issue is simple that a rider cannot double up for two teams that ride on the same night like Peterborough and Belle Vue. Imagine if it was allowed and other clubs did it. Every week how many guests would there be? Nothing against Cook wanting to do premier league but he needs to pick a track that doesnt ride Fridays
