  1. Since you specified you don't have any trolls, I assume you agree with the other part of my sentence Unfortunately their success also results in them attracting sad people that can't help spout nonsense
  2. 'Most' Glasgow fans don't bother with speedway forums. There's probably less than 30 on this one and yes some of them would rather watch good exciting racing than win trophies. The majority of Glasgow fans are like most fans they want to see their team win at home. The difference at Glasgow is that they also get good exciting racing as a bonus. Most fans also realise that not every team can win trophies and teams that win trophies don't always attract big crowds. The Ford's model works for Poole and they are very good at it. For example, they signed and kept 2 of the best gaters in the league who are also apparently very good at manipulating their averages. Unfortunately their success also results in them attracting sad people that can't help spout nonsense and who enjoy trolling,
  3. Here's an example of the ludicrous situation we currently find ourselves in. Poole are clearly the strongest team in the Championship yet their green sheet averages as a team show them as being lower (39.87) than Berwick (40.77) and Edinburgh (40.82)! And Plymouth (41.27) has the highest combined average!!
  4. What are the crowds like after the huge opening when lots of fans from various tracks attended?
  5. The current Met Office forecast suggests dry until heavy rain from 9pm. So start promptly, no interval or kids race and should be ok.
  6. I'll ask again. In what way is he overrated and by who? I'm not interested in your mystic Meg predictions and where did I say he will become a leading rider. Cast1m sums it up quite nicely.
  7. This should be a cracker with Benjamin, Bomber and Ryan Douglas all flying at the moment. Could come down to the reserves. After some of the recent 'weather forecasts' for Ashfield not to mention the torrential rain at Hampden last night - great victory for Scotland - all eyes will be on the weather forecast and perhaps one will be accurate.
  8. In what way is he overrated and by who. You say he is a good young rider, one of the better 2 point riders but despite that you think he is overrated, give me strength.
  9. Or he might do a Leon Madsen, one look at the Armadale track and on the next plane home.
  10. if you are going to make things up at least try and attempt to write a sentence otherwise people will think you are just a
  11. No doubt you would have slagged him off if he hadn't signed the picture and ignored the lad. I don't suppose you offered to carry his kit bag or offer your medical opinion?
  12. Lots of bonus points for the Poole riders so they are learning from Richard.
  13. I agree he is your best rider but by carefully gathering bonus points he gets paid the same, reduces his average and gets lots of guest bookings and earns even more money.
  14. Looking forward to this. On paper Tigers should qualify ok but a few years ago Scunthorpe surprised us all by winning at Ashfield. Ryan Douglas will do well and Simon Lambert always gives 100%. I've been impressed by Connor Mountain and I can see him getting extra rides. However, the Tigers don't have any weak links and in the end it should be a comfortable win for the home side.
  15. You've got your Connor's mixed up. It's Connor Bailey
  16. Blobby, Why bother guessing when you don't know. Just makes you look stupid but then again....
  17. With large crowds reported from some tracks down south, just wondered if anyone has any idea of last nights attendance
  18. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse. That's me done with speedway.
  19. Perhaps we could invite some Poole riders to guest for both teams and that would give Poole fans a chance to enjoy good speedway and support their riders or perish the thought have a good moan
