Brady reckons he was winded which is why he sat down after trying to get up too quickly!

Only referencing Terry Russell's own comments from a couple of weeks ago and pleased that the crowd numbers seem to have responded. He is looking to step away due to ill-health and wants to ensure the club is in a reasonably healthy position when he leaves it to Rosco and Kilby.

Is this really an FIM meeting? Why? Its totally meaningless!

Was it a decent size crowd A ORLOV? With big scores like the past couple of weeks Terry Russell will be saying his prayers!!

I agree with that statement especially the last bit on a thread that may not even be relevant to you and your club?! Such a shame after your early season results with Heeps at reserve, Still its not how you start its how you finish - as the song goes!

If Middlo is a clown, what does that make Hawkins? What exactly do you believe are the factors in the 'steady decline' of speedway in the UK? And please explain what part you think MF has played in them? Facts rather than hearsay opinions would help. (You might want to check with your mate Mark Loram, before replying?)

why?

'very much so'!!?>

Not sure I like some of the comments/objections in the correspondence attached to the plans?

Maybe NKI will have Saturday's GP more on his mind?! GP-itis some call it!

So Brady, Nico, THJ and Ricky to take the r/r rides. Not sure r/r should be at 4 but hey, whatever?!

Yes I know, but hasn't the foxhole track been re-shaped since then? I don't think I dreamt it as I never dream of such things!!

Covatti isn't at reserve, THJ is and has he ever even seen the track?

Nice summary but hardly a meaningful mention of what NKI and King bring to the party or Allen dropping back to reserve?! If Ippo can bounce back from the trouncing at Swindon then its theirs to lose!!

On his last two UK league sessions, THJ was using borrowed machinery including the proverbial 'track spares'! This time, with contracts at both Poole and Berwick in place til the end of the season, he is bringing his own bikes, van and mechanics as I understand it. Having him at reserve for Poole is certainly a plus although not sure how he will do at the remaining league fixture tracks eg the Foxhole and Norfolk Arena as well as in the play-offs? I'll be very interested to see how he goes at Birmingham tonight.

I think you are right - but he was still being 'world class' well after Freddie and Antonio hit the scene.

Danny Ford said Josh is 'doubtful'! Could be just a ploy to keep Richie Hawkins guessing but he was complaining about his hip and hand after the Wolves crash.

I think Andreas Jonsson would likely disagree!!?

Times have changed at many clubs. Only a couple of weeks ago Swindon's owner Terry Russell said they would lose money this season and I believe the same will also apply to several clubs (again?) If the average fan had any real idea of the finances in speedway at the moment they would frighten themselves to death!!

We'll still likely be running r/r on Thursday for Josh!? THJ will be at 6 with Covatti replacing Richie at 2. r/r will allow Brady, Nico, THJ and Ricky to take those rides on current averages. for Ippo I assume Allen drops back to reserve with r/r for Heeps. So Danny, Allen and Sarjeant for the r/r rides?!

THJ signed subject to BSPA approval.

THJ comes in at reserve with Covatti going to 2. Josh likely to be missing so r/r.

No T/S if you needed them and very limited choice if you get another injury. Don't worry Gav I know Ippo haven't got that much experience of the play-offs but trust me Poole have.

Different ballgame for the play-offs.

So 6.96 then (ie 4.64 KIngs Lynn 2017 x 1.5)?
