Simply because of the “it was always better in the good old days” mentality. Ivan was a great rider but had advantages in league racing of gate picks etc. Tony was a better all round rider. A great gater and brilliant passer. Of course its just down to opinion.

Yes fully open but will be a nightmare to get into as all the workers will be leaving the carpark as fans arrive with one way only and temporary traffic lights as well. Traffic jams guarenteed be there early.

I certainly did but Trick was better than both.

Absolutely right Pinny. Kildemand totally legit but it doesn’t stop the usual green with envy brigade having their dig, no matter how wrong they are. I personally would want Holder over Kildemand who just gets dirty to make up for his lack of top end ability. An in form Holder is a class above.

Looking forward to tomorrow night and seeing speedways best ever rider, Tony Rickardsson take to the track again. Can’t wait!

So much for all the Bewley hype.

Well Kildemand will be able to use the 70th anniversary meeting tomorrow as practice for next Fridays team opener. Hopefully CH will be back quickly to bring us back to full strength as we are vunerable with him out.

Don’t use common sense Matt. It goes against the grain of having a pop at Poole.

Unusual way of looking at it. Kildemand makes Poole weaker in my opinion and the chance for teams to take advantage before CH returns. Would have CH any day over knock me off with a fart Kildemand.

Just got back from P&P. Track looks very smoth and fast. All the boys looking very good indeed. Shansey going full throttle chucking it about. Holder doing many more laps than the others. woryna looking serious class as doest Brady. Nice to see Bjane there putting in some practice and the new youngster Freddie Jackobsen looking impressive. A good turnout of fans too. Took some footage which I will chuck up on Youtube later. As for Holder, its personal issues which have reared their head just at the wrong time and need sorting not visa issues as far as I can make out. These should be sorted hopefully in the next couple of weeks. He seemed reasonably happy there tonight.

Yes looks like an early change to the lineup. Holder is at p&p today.

Well Mitchell Davey did better than zack W. And both beat boy wonder Bewley on his home patch tonight. Expected more from Bewley to be honest. Tungate showed his UK form and Swindon showed a lack of heat winners. And both managers forgot to brief their riders about the new gardening rule. One would have thought once the first Swindon rider made the error it wouldn't have happened a second time.

Wolves won’t be any serious threat this season so no point worrying how we will do there. They will be just making up the numbers.

Can see the current Swindon lineup losing a few at home this season. Certainly not strong enough to be in with amserious shout of retaining.

Looking at my wizja tv plugin on kodi, all the sports channels still show. I can’t test as when I click on nsport for example it asks for a username and password. Mine has expired and I won’t renew just yet as it would be dead money. I have installed goldvod.tv on my kodi box but the options for buying a membership are basically diabolical. Bitcoin, and unheard of dodgy sounding sites where I wouldn’t risk anything. It says it takes ebay gift money but I don’t know how that works. Can someone who has done it put it down in simple steps with links? Widja takes paypal. Couldn’t be simpler.

The 7- The 70th anniversary meeting has been cancelled? Really? Better put it out to everyone then, though I can’t find it on the Poole website.

Yes when Poole come to town its their biggest meeting agreed. They could have P&P on any day next week. They are running scared.

Thats completely wrecked my planning. What a real pain that is. Wolves clearly running scared. There may well be snow on the track at this moment, as there most certainly is at Wimborne road this afternoon. But the forecast is for temperatures to rise this week. Snow melts when it gets warmer.

I don’t think Somerset was CH’s first choice at all. He wanted to ride with his brother, at Poole. But the way Jack behaved last season was enough for Matt Ford to decide he didn’t want him in the team, no matter what the potential in 2018. So off Jack went to Somerset. CH was pi55ed that Matt didn’t want Jack so decided he wanted to ride with his brother at Somerset, or whatever club Jack was at. But CH was in Poole’s plans. If Somerset wanted him then they would have to pay for a full transfer, which they decided they couldn’t afford or was not worth it. So CH is at Poole, will have excellent sponsorship, and now has a track he has said is very good. And perhaps if Jack matures and improves his attitude he could be back in Matts plans in future seasons. Who knows.

Excellent news.

Yep. The news and info coming out of Poole has increased ten fold.

Where can I get the Trans MF merch?? Can just see a large portion of the crowd now, chanting, “tranny muff, tranny muff!”

We all wish you would. For a long time.

Hopfully the bin fund.
