Ouch... Good to hear Dan is in good spirits . Lets hope he's fit and rearing to come March

White or black, sugar or no sugar, large cup, small cup. What will it be Steve. Is £1.50 ok?

You can't count Doyle. Somerset might not go 6 down ! . You could just as easy say Kurtz will get 6 rides... HT 15 and a TR ride? He might not get HT15 and Poole might not go 6 down would be your answer..? For me Holder has 5 programmed rides tomorrow. One is Lawsons. Whether he has a TR ride or HT15 is irrelevant to whether Lawson is riding or not.Or am I going mad ? So unless Somerset go 6 down, you have Holder, Covatti, Summers, a reserve taking Lawsons rides. So Holder 2, Covatti 1, Summers 1, reserve 1. That's 5,maybe 6, if you like.... Lawson would at least score that(8 from 4 last time).

You can't use the Holder 7 ride thing. He only gets 1 ride for Lawson, so 5 rides.. The other 2 rides he "might" get, he could of got them anyway, even if Somerset had a full team. Lawson 8 from 4 last visit. .So lets say , Holder 2, Covatti 1, Summers 1 and 1 other.?... That seems fair.. Last visit Summers scored 2 and Covatti 5.. Holder 9 from 6 rides. I can't see any benefit using RR for Lawson myself. Poole win for me, but the track could play a part.

Excellent

True. But the rule could state if a rider does ride elsewhere, no facility will be granted to their UK club.. That could help stop riders/clubs taking the pee come crunch time, maybe ?

Not so sure. Don't know how many times the 2 guests have ridden Poole this season. Last time the Rebels where there BWD scored 5, Allen 2+1 and Lawson 8. The time before... BWD 5 (riding at 3) Allen 6 and Lawson 7. Not earth shattering I agree, but I can't see Somerset being stronger with 3 riders out.

I thought the same.

Aces easy home win. Aces to get a point away.

Not for me. I'd probably go BV and try and get in the final. Extra meeting for the fans and a big crowd/money for the club.

You can tell you live in a posh town. In Norfolk we count our chickens

Will we get the same rant from SS that he gave after the Somerset v Poole meeting about the "doctored" track in Somerset's favour I doubt it. I guess he don't agree with Poole "doctoring" their track as Somerset did then ? Your points now that Somerset's reserves are out .

Release Mitchell Davey and Jack Smith you say....Same 2 that RR kept banging on about Give us some credit RR

From that clip, looked ok. But angles do give a different take on it.

I know that's the idea Starry.. Every little helps. I do think that the team that finishes top should have more of an advantage than picking the team of their choice. Maybe the winner goes into the final, the next 2 fight it off over 2 legs with the team who finished 2nd gets pick of home or away first. Top 4 out of a tiny league is maybe a bit much. One league next season anyway I guess.

Not sure there Ray... Klindt is in fine form and will get around 8 from 4 if it's slick or not. Woryna must be good for 8 from 4, or 9-10 from 5 (might replace the other reserve in one) Brady 10 from 5 . That's a good start...Josh is going well, 7 from 4 .. It will be close. If Worrall can chip in 6-7 Poole will be ok. But it's speedway, who knows

I've ridden big road bikes for many years and still do. I had a go on a friends speedway bike on a big field ...Bloody hell . About a 3rd of the power, but no brakes or suspension, as you know. The arse breaks away and I shut off and got a speed wobble and no fences or riders to hit either... Arse nipped up...And to think I wanted to be a speedway rider when I first went aged 8 lol. All i'm saying is give the guys a bit of respect. Not a push bike will score more comment

Track looked slick, but agree Steve, the crowd looked pretty big there. 2k + ?.. Good to see at any club these days. Hope with the tight league all the clubs get a few more on the gate in the run in.

Do you know off hand who from both teams the delays from Poland could affect ? If both are at full strength if should be a cracker.. Biggest crowd of the season maybe? What would you guessimate the crowd was V Swindon yesterday. I think SS said it was big. Just wondered because the last TV meeting at your gaff looked like a big crowd to me but was reported as not so. Nice to see a packed grandstand on TV.

I can be so thick at times , I just don't realise

Nice comment from someone who has probably never sat on a bike...Even worse if you have actually ridden one

Short pre arranged break How many meetings do you think he has ridden in since in a short space of time? What I was getting at is 12 rides in one night is a lot for anyone, and his scores suggest he was up for it and didn't go down hill. At this stage of the season, with it all to race for, the adrenaline should be enough to make sure the riders are fired up for the meeting

Sounds like another one of them pre meeting excuse, just in case. Your mate Lambo is a very busy rider. He rode in 12 races last night, including 2 HT 15's when both meetings were well won. His scores of 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2,3,3,2' show he didn't tail off. I'm sure he was well tired though. I guessed Poole last night by 20, almost right. For this one i'm going 42-48 if both have full teams

Out of the top draw. Thanks

7 wins on the spin for Lambo so far.
