We really enjoyed our first visit to Poole. Spent a bit of time before the meeting (and on Thursday night) at Poole Quay . What a great place , would love to go again . As for the Speedway .First impressions a great little Stadium ideally placed in the Town with fantastic viewing from the large main stand . A beautiful , warm summers evening and what seemed a large crowd. Thought there was some great racIng , the highlights Nicholls chasing down and passing Kurtz , and Harris on 2 occasions later in the meeting doing the same against Andersen and Nicholls. Best compliment would be that if i lived nearby i"d definitely go and watch on a regular basis. If only Leicester were fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to build and design their own track which enabled thrilling racing , just think how good that would have been !!!!

Were looking forward to this one. A weeks holiday (great weather, so stay in the UK ), travel down to the South Coast with a chance to catch up with the Lions for the 1st time this season followed by a trip to the I.O.W. on Thursday. Both new tracks for us.

Due to the great weather we are having at the moment we've decided to holiday at home , head south and have a few days in Bournemouth this week. Poole on Wednesday and the I.O.W. on Thursday , both 1st time visits so we're looking forward to visiting both tracks.

And who or what are the Stars allowed to use as a replacement should he not make the meeting ?

Simple solution . Any rider with an average of 8.00 or above is classed as 8.00 in the averages. Problem solved. You can replace a No 1 without having to disrupt the rest of the team.

I may be wrong but i presume the reason for replacing Toft is due to his average being too high with Bjerre as Vaculiks replacement ? If so its another situation where Speedway shoots itself in the foot. Surely some allowance should be given in certain circumstances where teams lose riders through injury that they do not have to disrupt the rest of the team just to bring in a replacement

Nothing wrong with Finn Jensen

Does anyone know what became of the junior rider Ryan Goodger. Was friends with his parents but lost touch with them a few years ago and at the time I seem to remember he was a very promising rider but I've heard nothing about him in recent years.
