Ellis has to go there.

This is looking ominous for Ipswich already. They have no one to beat Swindon’s top riders.

Track will slicken off to suit Swindon.

Typical rerun never the same result.

Thought Doyle was cheating but replay shows different. ‘His steel shoe might have saved him there.

Hoping for any kind of lead for Ipswich to make a final of it. Let’s hope for some decent racing tonight.

No a jab.

I had the flu in 2003. A cold it is not. Man flu it is not. I was laid out for over two weeks in bed and affected for well over a month Totally exhausted before slowly recovering. It is true to say that line that if a 50 pound note had Wafted past my bedroom window I would not have got up to pick it up. It really can be a life threatening illness for the weak and elderly. If a jabs available for free from the doctor don’t hesitate IMO.

Track covers could at least kept the track in a dry condition even if not rescuing the meeting for tonight. Two sets of track covers, owned by the BSPA could have been laid in advance to help keep the tracks from turning into slush.

I don’t believe the change of race night has made the 20% drop. I believe there are several other factors.

I don’t believe moving back to a Wednesday from a Thursday would make any difference to crowd levels.

Yes you are right. I was a bit quick off the mark and very disappointed to read and hear there was a risk of us dropping down. Hasty is the right word. I have always much preferred the highest quality racing, as I prefer top league football. I went to Swindon Town v Newport recently and what a load of crap that was. I did enjoy Poole when they were in the NL as I didn’t have anything to compare it with. But the sport has changed completely from the 1990’s. And when we moved up the racing was just so much better. I might not feel like it now but if Poole do drop down, by March I will probably trundle down the road to the stadium. It’s in the blood.

Just had the flu jab last week. Grotty for a couple of days but ok now. Worth having.

Good luck with leaving on the 31st.

Thought at the time, there’s a brexiteer.

Men against boys.

Neither stream seems to be working. edit. Maniac now working.

You wouldn’t want Klindt?

I wasn’t sure though had an inkling. In which case they are stuck with him.

There are some right idiots on here. Running a team in the CL is not 75% cheaper than PL. It is 25% cheaper, 75% of the costs!

Unfortunate if you have to be elsewhere on Tuesday. Was never likely to go ahead Monday with this terrible weather.

And if by magic another Gavan essay, when I didn’t even mention him it wasn’t aimed at him or anything about him. I suppose we are going to get another essay responding to this.

I do believe presentation need to be improved ten fold. Get it like Poland. Riders in team suits ( Matt should get this sorted) no mechanics standing around smoking and chatting behind the riders during parade. Riders presented with helmets off. No away team sitting on their bikes desperate to push off, causing issues (Cook) Start heat 1 at exactly 7.30 on the dot. Not 7. 38 or 7.41. Poland starts within a second or two of the start time. Copy it here.

Excellent call. Be able to watch England struggle in Bulgaria now.

Absolutely. I have a 15 year old daughter and spend the maximum possible time with her. Out to the cinema this afternoon and taking her to her favourite resteraunt afterwards. Off to the Italian alps next week with a couple of nights in Venice. Tenerife in January for a weeks flying with my mates. Back to Bassano Del Grappa in late March for a week then Annecy in June for a couple of weeks flying and sightseeing. No different to most people. Work hard, play hard, enjoy life. Happy days. Sorry for being off topic but some things need to be said.
