Bless him does his brain capacity allow him to do two such hard working jobs

sorry im all for opinions but how in gods name can you exclude Kildemand???? I admit at times Kildemand can be a bit ruthless and sometimes a tad dangerous but he was blameless here. Dudek breaks down, Kildemand couldnt possibly have seen him and hits him they crash. Dudek has to be excluded. If you believe Kildemand should have been excluded then you think he must of deliberatly rode into him at that speed!!!

All depends on how many Sam and Wolbert can score. The bottom end of Berwicks team (Pijper, Mellgren, Wethers and Carr) should walk all over the weak bottom 4 of Edinburgh (Etheridge, Riss, Clegg and Bewley) All depends if Jorgensen , Doolan and Alden can keep tabs on the top 3 of Edinburgh.

cant see Holder getting anywhere near the top 3 and Magic needs to kick on this season 1. Woffinden 2. Pedersen 3. Doyle (if he can cut out the reckless rides) 4. Iversen 5. Hancock 6. Janowski 7. Kildemand 8. Zmarzlik 9. Jonsson 10. Holder 11. Zagar 12. Lindback 13. Hampel. 14. Harris 15. Pawlicki

your not allowed to say that! How dare you suggest the loss of Cook and Sedgeman , and replace them with a has been and an untried young Aussie, makes them weaker , and have an opinion they wont make the play offs!

and yet again you resort to childish stupidity. Poole had shocking crowds in the times they were crap, and yes so did Ipswich in the last few years in the Elite league. Stop thinking Poole are bigger and better than anyone else and have a think before you engage your so called brain. Poole have a promoter that knows how to build a side and put bums on seats and lets face it there is naff all else to do in Poole so it shouldnt be that hard to promote. You are successful now but when you arent again the fans will leave same as they do at any other club.

you believe that do you?? Cook, Masters and Wolbert , 3 of the top heat leaders plus Sedgeman, who is good enough to be a heat leader in every other side. Add in Riss , who is world longtrack champion so hardly a novice although likely to take time and 2 solid reserves. You think that team looked weak on paper??? They were picked by everyone to win the league

Oh do you mean im basing it on this 1 meeting or basing it on what i thought when the side was announced?? Because if you check back over the threads ive said from day 1 that Edinburgh looked a poor outfit this season. Your loss Cook Sedgeman and Branford and replace them with 3 riders so inferior yet you expect to be top of the league. Dont forget Masters scored what Cook would have done and you still get thrashed. Cook , Sedgeman and Branfords direct replacements scored a Grand Total of 5 points that sums up how difficult your season will be. Even if they improve i cant see them ever scoring more than 18-20 between the 3 and that simply will not be enough to win meetings and dont forget as good a rider as Masters is he wont get 15 plus every week. This isnt a pop at Edinburgh, although any negative word about them the fans are so precious, as i even tipped my side to finish 6th at best. Its called being a realist rather than just think you will win every season. However i do think Fisher is an awful signing he may prove me wrong

Will be stunned if Poole dont hit 60 in this one

Still confused how Monarchs fans think that was a decent performance! My team got beat at home by Scunthorpe no excuses its worrying for that to happen so a 20 point beating has to be a concern. Unless they make changes Edinburgh won't be in the play offs with that 1-7. Masters won't be dominant every week. As I sayd you replace Cook and Sedgeman and Branford with a has been in Fisher, an untried Aussie in Etheridge and a kid at reserve then you can't expect to be near the top of the league.

Can't see this happening or if it does won't last long

Getting heavier in my opinion

At the track rain not stopped but not really heavy but no sign of it stopping

Tai has been backed by all promotors on this as they understand his reasons. Chris Louis has gone on record as saying he would do the same thing in Tai's position Its just a few keyboard warriors on here who feel the need to have a go

well said that man!! the people moaning he isnt British because he is missing the british final find it an easy stick to use to beat him with. the bigger picture is completely different of course

How do you get to that chain of thought?? Think we all are a bit sick of the 'sheep' who come up with the same old same old same old he isnt British tosh. We have a 2x World Champion who grew up in a different country and people expect him to not care for that country. There were 1 or 2 people who used to say he wasnt British last season, and mainly because they arent Tai fans. He pulls out the British Final and suddenly all the 'sheep' or lemmings suddenly feel that is the stick to bash him with, its pathetic really. You are spot on. I know for a fact that in 1999 Mark Loram rode as a wildcard and did i think 5 of the 6 rounds and lost money and he actually won in Sweden that year. The guys at the bottom lose money its well known they do. It was worse in the days of 2 rides and go home but to say all 15 of next years riders make money out of the series is rubbish

You got no chance trying to explain to those who simply bury their heads and go along with a few lemmings. As ive said if you dislike Tai then fine but the blind and dumb who follow the herd and trot out the ' he is an Aussie' line are just a tad clueless

you for whatever reason have a huge chip on your shoulder. Read my posts i never said he wasnt eligible to ride for Australia. He loves the country he grew up in whats wrong with that? I was born in a place called Osborne Park in Perth in 1976. I was 7 months old when i come home so if i was doing what Tai did then i would ride for Australia as i was born there. However i feel that i am English, i was born to 2 English parents and lived here 39 years. Tai chose to ride for GB as he feels he is English. Of course he will hang around Aussie riders he grew up with them!!! Jason Crump was born here but to Australian parents, he sees himself as Australian. You are just spouting ignorant rubbish. By all means dislike Tai but your daft stance that he is more an Aussie than a Brit is a cheap and ignorant shot

The elite league this season is the worst i have ever seen. 2 or 3 genuine world class riders and then 4 or 5 decent performers. The third heat leaders are made up of riders who 10 years ago would struggle to be Premier league number ones. Are you serious? Lambert isnt even 18 yet?? He lacks ability out the gate and that might hold him back but how you can question that he hasnt pushed on is unreal. What are you expecting him to be Kings Lynns number 1???

100% spot on mate. We might not agree about everything (i.e Newman & Garrity) but at least i know i can have a debate with yourself. because he is the same as i am frustrated by the sheer volume of people who are not intelligent to understand what is going on and simply jump on the Aussie/Not British line that people either to dumb or unable to think for themselves use. No issue with people not liking Tai, I wasnt a fan of Tatum, but to use his nationality as the stick to beat him with shows a lack of intelligence. Again i tell people look at the dates of the semis and the final!! Anyone with half a brain can understand why he isnt riding

And there in lies the problem with the elite league this season You drove up because a 'strong' Belle Vue side are. I have no doubt you will travel when a 'strong' Poole side are in town as well. And yourself like many other fans will not travel if Lakeside, Leicester and Wolves are in town. Crowds at the majority of clubs will fall this season. Even if you are a Poole and Belle Vue fan will you go to watch your team thrash others? I know when Ipswich won everything in 1998 i couldnt be bothered with some matches as the result and scoreline was a foregone conclusion. The farce of the points limit will not help the sport this season

Nah im good thanks. Got moaned at because i put it on a Poole thread when Poole thrashed someone, so im just being consistent and showing its not a Poole thing but thanks for your concern the sport will lose lots of fans this season as teams in the elite league are so poor compared to the top 2. Fans will not be bothered to pay the prices at any club not just Lynn.

So you are suggesting that Tai chose GB because he was worried he wouldnt get in the gp's. Stop talking claptrap. He would back himself to do anything he is that confident. Who was the Aussie squad when Tai made his decision then? Crump, Adams, Sullivan? 3 riders who would have been retiring not long after Tai came through then basically a young Holder. Your quite correct saying Tai could have choose GB or Australia but to say he chose GB to get an easier route in is absolute rubbish

i take it that you are just goading as usual. Anyone with half a brain knows the elite league is a 2 horse race and will be the most boring league ever. I'm off to Foxhall Saturday night to see a decent meeting thanks not the elite league borefest

how did your rider Chris Holder get on in the Aussie champs this year??
