ouch

I spend 71p a day watching The Aces, including programme. Dont wish to appear flash.

How were they able to sign Nico (4.85) in place of Jonas (4.00)?

Wow, just wow.

Somerset could have made a double swap as they did when replacing Charles & Jonas. Is that too difficult a fact for you to understand? Why would Somerset say they were prevented signing Harris if it was just an averages thing? This is why Poole threads run on and on as the basics need to be explained again and again. Non speedway folk I know but Christ it’s hard work.

Whether it’s 9/11, Tsumami, Katrina or Trump etc, it’s clear to see what makes the most column inches. Given your opinion that injured riders from other teams “reap what they sow” I’m not surprised you revel in disaster. Awful human being.

We’ve been giggling about this post over breakfast, it’s class. You say Somerset where stopped from signing Harris as it would help them but Poole can sign him as it will er, weaken them or not help them. Funny, funny, funny, keep ‘em coming.

Dag Lovas.

With the recent signing of Summers and Harris on their latest Rye averages, I take it the Rye results were expunged.....ish .

We knew this. Matt called the Rockets as soon as BMR asked for help. He put dibs on them and stopped Somerset signing him. Linus stood down, made me chuckle that one.

How long do you think and inside source would remain an inside source if you ran off to print every time you put the ‘phone down on them? Inside sources allow you to question the official line when it’s trotted out and you know it’s untrue.

I’m still surprised that fans won’t pay thirty odd pence a day on a magazine dedicated to a sport they love.

The thing is it should or can work, only the people running it will prevent this. Realistically, I’m not confident.

There is enough riders. We had uncompetitive races in the halcyon days of the 70’s as Mauger etc raced away from the oppositions reserves. Even worse they could do it in heat 8. We created rules to stop that and we recently had protected heats where only the administration of averages saw that not work correctly. If we know beforehand that lower league club will be shat on then create a system to stop it. The Aces always got the crappy end of the stick with rider control and we would again but if it suits the sport as a whole, bring it back. We don’t have the option to do nothing nor make minor tweaks here and there. A full and comprehensive relaunch or reboot as is the modern term is required.

Do Wolves choose to race Monday/midweek or is it forced on them? Would they get bigger crowds on Friday/Saturday?

Rather than knock the management for not signing a decent replacement for Kerr, let’s see a list from you guys, then we can all make a judgement on your judgment.

This to me reads that had BMR been able to run as they wished they would have completed the season with all debts paid. How do others interpret it? “It is with great regret that the Rye House Rockets have been forced from the Premiership league following the cancellation of the meeting at home against Swindon on 27th June 2018 by the BSPA.Our proposal to the BSPA securing the future of the Rye House Rockets was categorically rejected.We would like to clarify that BMR Speedway Limited continues to operate and remains committed to seeing Speedway as a major part of the future at Rye House Stadium.”The future sees Speedway continuing at Rye House for the remainder of the season and forward into 2019. Updates will be provided on our website: www.ryehouserockets.co.

Did they run up debts?

I was referring to this season but you said who would pay the debts. I presumed BMR would pay just as they did last year when running on their preferred racenight, but you obviously thought that not possible with your fairy godmother post.

Apologies, I didn’t realise they were running up debts last year when running on their preferred racenight. The situation is worse than I was aware of. Very sad. Thanks for the heads up.

All the clubs could have got round the table and with give and take an agreement reached on the moving of fixtures to help the Rockets. Never an option though as Buster said no. I think one or two other clubs, unbelievably were not arsed about them closing.

Poole are the Poole of 21st century speedway which doesn’t really equate to a whole lot of beans, unfortunately.

Tv matches always have more hits. Poole threads would have the normal amount of posts if you removed the “you’re a knob” “its a fact” ” no you’re a knob” insults and wind ups by the usual Poole posters. I fear that any plan to save British speedway will be these fair weather “win at all costs” fans disappear from Wimborne Rd. While us speedway fans are happy to see four lads tearing round, that won’t cut the mustard for this lot and they will be back to their football, bowls, hockey or whatever. Feel for the fans on those forums when they end up back there.

Not a big surprise from two gate & go teams. Poole will relish busting to a track that comes a close second to theirs for its tedious from the gate fare.

Not sure I like this latest development by the BSPA to create tension and movement in the table. Maybe the next team to fold will see the Aces go top. Just going to study the table and see who needs to go to help our title push.

Looking at the team with Cook in and presuming the seventh member of the six man team is a ghost R/R position like last time where the top four take the rides, it gives a total of nearly 47 points using Championship figares. This is stronger than the current Championship, so those knocking the standard are basically saying that division is $%^^ and they wouldn’t watch it.
