Sorry never heard of him......I also like Phil Rudd (AC/DC) he is pretty good too.

Neil Peart......probably the best drummer in the world.

Peter Craven,Peter Collins,Michael Lee,Gary Havelock,Mark Loram etc. not exist then in the daily mirror's world??.........even if they are trying to say the first Brit to win a Grand Prix series they would be wrong as that honour belongs to Mark Loram!!!!

Gary Havelock has tweeted that due to his arm injuries he has officially retired from speedway racing. All the best for the future Gary. You'll always be a Legend at Poole.

Remember the Lakeside v Poole match a couple of seasons ago when the admission was free for the live Sky match?? The place was packed out and even Middlo had trouble getting into the stadium because of the tail backs!! Surely that told the promoters that if the admission prices were set at a reasonable rate (say £5) then the fans would still come and watch and they would still make there money by getting more people in for less money......at £17 pounds plus in this economic climate they won't!!

Are you sure you don't mean Sean Maguire?? I believe he was having a go after a meeting on Simon Wigg's bike?? and came off and broke his leg....not sure what track it was at though.....I think it was about the time of the Ricky Butcher speedway story on Eastenders and a few of the actors started having a go at speedway?? When he broke his leg the tv bosses put a stop to it?? I think that was it.....long time ago now, so not 100% sure.

It was about mid 90's and Troy Pratt was the rider that was acting as Ricky.

Isn't it Poole Council that charge for the car park??

That's pretty good value Well done to the Berwick Promotion.

Why do they show reruns of GPs when it is an Elite League broadcast?? Surely they could show a play off final or something (but not 2010 please......hahaha) why GPs all the time??

My point is if they are going to put something on BEFORE the speedway , at least have something decent to watch while we're waiting for the speedway to start!!!

Are they really the best BSI can come up with for pre meeting entertainment???Absolute rubbish.....Welsh Choir and Brass band...... Is that the best they can do??? Time to not bother with pre meeting entertainment if that's the best they can come up with.......rubbish!!!!

I think ( Titan) the robot is there according to Speedway star advert.

If coming from the south the only way to avoid the bridges is to go via Gloucester and down to Chepstow.

Me too...............can't stand the jocks and certainly don't support them like some English people. All jocks hate the English and DON'T support them!!!!!!

Can't see us even beating the Czechs for third on Thursday!!!

Well done Greg................ Just goes to prove nice guys dont always finish last

But Poole have 4 riders in the meeting proper as well including the current world champion!!

Too right ...............not blinking x factor no bodies!!!!!!!

We usually park at county hall park and ride which is just a few minutes ride by bus into the city centre. There is a car park near the stadium but it is qued up all day to get in, so I would advise park and ride.If you wish to see the pre meeting entertainment and "soak up" the atmosphere,(the atmosphere starts to build up around mid day in the town let alone the stadium. It really is a brilliant day allround) then you should get to the stadium by 3.30-4.00. The meeting usually gets underway with the parade at 5.00, first race as soon as the parade is over. Hope that helps Scottyfan

As it is in Wales why not get the Manics or Stereophonics to play............either would be good.
