  1. Neil Given your experience and background. Don't you find it unusual, worrying that after Stuart Dickson resigned (from memory after a disagreement over what became the Rising Star project) that a Board that had been 5 members did not co-opt a 5th Board Member / Director? Would that in any business (not just sppedway) be a sensible quorum / number as then the chairman would have a casting vote rather than a vote and a casting vote in any 2/2 split. Not attacking RG at all as it would be the same with any Board with a Chairman with an even number of Members. Why not take the first step and apponit an independent Chairman - someone with a business background and an interest in the Sport but no Club alliegance at this time. A successful ex-Rider may be or even someone like Rob Painter?
  2. It's not how you start its how you finish The damper and therefore deeper Autumn tracks will suit Charlie Wright, they can perm decent Guests for Riss and will always have 2 strong reserves perming Newman , Kasper , JJ and Jason. Redcar could just be peaking at the right time. Their track is actually probably just too fair to all so home advantage is not easy there. Good set up be great to see them win something.
  3. Tens of millions buy Football Manager and FIFA games , doesn't make any of them Jurgen Klopp. If you could manage to get your head in to and out of the Dartford Tunnel may be you could enlighten more!
  4. So you could have ridden KOC Final v Redcar or Jubilee Final v Glasgow and Leicester. But you prefer to ride Plymouth knowing very few adequate Guests available to them due to Denmark and Alan Grahame meeting. Bit shabby that. As others have said, perfect example of why the sport needs independent oversight and governance.
  5. So you could have ridden home leg against winners on Wednesday night. You coukd have ridden home leg of Jubilee Cup - Glasgow would have been delighted as already at Plymouth on Tuesday night. Until the enforced change. So Jubillee Cup Final or KOC Final (or is it semi) could have been staged surely Finals are important and semis more important than quarters Discuss
  6. Promoted to the Board in his virgin season via a call from the Chateau. We await the hereditary promotions of the young Masters Godfrey, Louis and Bates clans in due course.
  7. Oh here we go. The Forum Trolls / Bullies now turn their attention to Glasgow and more specifically one of the best british riders of his generation with innuendo and queries about why he is not riding. The "form / mantra" of these trolls is clear. That's why people as "why are Poole so hated" For the easily provable record Craig Cook has suffered a series of high speed crashes in recent months, has probably come back too soon from some of them and in almost all cases has been an innocent victim. Its bad enough at the comments made and some of the inferences, winks and nods. When the guy also has well documented and well know mental health issues about which he has been very honest, it really does make you realise how desperately sad these trolls are. People in glass houses really should not throw pebbles and stones, you never know a bloody great boulder may land on you at any time! Behave! Leave the guy alone. He's beaten up physically and taking time out to recover, hopefully to smash the daylights out of Poole where it matters on the track with big points.
  8. Poole 90% sunday 80% Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday More thundery too Take more than an hour of waiting around to clear the slop off that
  9. Not the first time you've concocted weather forecasts Google Plymouth weather 100% continual sometimes heavy rain Saturday 90% same forecast for Sunday and Monday and Tuesday Remarkably similar to Poole. Might be light rain for a bit on the afternoon but 96 hours of continual rain forecast to precede it. A sensible promotion probably call it Monday morning save printing programmes
  10. Bomber is best on rutted bumpy or deep tracks. It's his background on Grass Tracks. He's a legend in that regard. He loves Poole it reminds him of the Cornish fields
  11. Glasgow and Redcar are proper race tracks, Wimborne Road most definitely never been.
  12. That and the fact Poole know that Plymouth will have to rely on mainly NDL riders on Wednesday with several options with Danish commitments and several others booked for Big Als meeting at PB the same night. Thats the reason the bullies are so desperate to rush things through.
  13. On behalf of all minnows in all sports let's hope they aren't bullied in to organising against their wishes with 5 days notice when the big club bullies are playing stupid games. Besides the weather forecast suggests any match in the South on Tuesday and Wednesday is very likely to be washed out. What next, Poole trying to stage both legs?
  14. Very enjoyable. Flint was class above on the night. Brennan wasn't 100% but I agree seems to be over racing a bit. Best I've seen Connor Bailey ride very impressed and best I've seen of the twins away from Leicester. Of the younger brigade stand out was Ace Pijper, wow... Clearly destined for big things. Kemp seems to be battling himself at the moment and on a plateau. Well done Laurence and the staff, excellent track and well staged.
  15. Not what young Ford is telling people - no more spare nights (cant get staff allegedly) other than Wednesdays.
  16. Looking at the weather forecasts from Saturday to Thursday there will probably be a few ducks there and no-body else #washout What will Danny do then as he allegedly has no other free dates before 31 October? Double Headers??..
  17. Hope he's ok Be a shame if his British career was ended in a pointless fixture.
  18. Looking at the weather forecast for Southern England from Friday to next Thursday, 70% chance of heavy rain at times each day and thunderstorms on Monday and Tuesday they'd best get a bloody big tent organised pdq! Summer looks most defintely over and a very wet spell ahead!
  19. So is the rumour true. Poole announced home play off for 7th Agreed with some possible opponents e. g Redcar and Edinburgh but not Plymouth Poole selling tickets before Plymouth agree to date. Oh dear. Messy.
  20. Lawson has been unhappy with Richie Worrall for a while.. Lawson naughty on Hans too... He don't like Danes either!
  21. He may have been taken out of context I guess tonight. If plymouth beat Glasgow they would end up 4th above Edinburgh on aggregate scorevdifference both on 32 points But for the purpose of the play off with cut off tomorrow they'll finish 6th with 29 points. Only in speedway
  22. Some good racing there and a deserved Redcar win. How much the loss of a match not counting at cut off tomorrow will be the determining factor at the end of the season can only be guessed at. Plymouth may have won last week and finished 4th they'll never know. Got a meaningless match now v Glasgow and the rider who caused the call off might not even be fit to ride.... That's speedway I guess. Hard to pick winners out of both semis with masters and pickering wright and Jenkins carrying injuries and Worrall not 100% and Kemp and Ablitt poor plus plymouth relying on a small number of guest options. Date and decision of Ben Barker hearing may be crucial to them as presumably he can ride or is banned and if he's banned won't they lose guest facility as normally no guest for a banned rider
