I know a lot of it doesn't make sense.I assume because Cook,Holder and Doyle rode GB last season they would obviously keep their averages.As Iversen is above the average it doesn't seem to apply.Vaculik,i don't know.It's all a bit of a balls up really.

Crazy isn't it,but i think all GP riders were given that average.Even more crazy when you think Poole have a couple of riders with even more out of date averages but they can keep them.

Indeed there was a big Star as a mascot.Not been seen since Star Lady stopped attending.Now who was under that costume

Better than Wendy the bike though

On a different note,because people always seem to focus on the bad points rather than the good. I see the club are looking to have a new mascot designed.They are asking for people to design a mascot which will in turn be made into a costumed character.The winning family will also receive free entry to the club’s home meetings throughout the year for two adults and all children under 16. The winners will also have their picture taken with the mascot in the centre of the track and get a chance to meet the riders. That's not a bad incentive to get your creative skills into action.I'm sure someone will come along and pick something wrong with this though

As i said i don't really like it,but what you need is all the fans singing at the same time.If they do the it doesn't matter what the tune is as long as the words are good it would sound good.That tune still belts out around football grounds.I use to be part of 75,000 people that would sing that in the late 90's early 00's and it was terrific,especially when Shearer was in the stadium.

Must admit i don't like the new anthem.But i can see what Lynn are trying to do,and that is to create an atmosphere.Most of us can remember the days of 2,4,6,8 and 1,2,3,4 they weren't much better but a lot of fans would chant it.Even if someone thought of something a bit more modern and punchy i don't think people would chant it anyway nowadays.The only way to get most fans singing and chanting would be to lace their teas and coffees with alcohol

He did mention when interviewed pre-season last year that he could stay at Troy's or a friends in Whittlesey.

I think that's what i said.They are not allowed to leave the circuit.But i have seen them leave the circuit if a crash has happened.

As Daniel has answered 2 of your questions,although the one about stopping the riders returning to the pits at every opportunity it is in force already.They only return if there has been a crash.

I hope you distribute the details of the supplier of the red shale to other promoters so if they want to use it they can.

I always thought Poole had their own rulebook

This is a problem with many sporting events.They know when they have a crowd they can charge more unfortunately.A bit like holidays,they know they can charge more when the kids are off school.Many restaurants will offer discounts but not on a Saturday.When these places know there will be crowds they know they can charge more.The only thing that could probably stop it is if none of us punters buy anything.Personally i very rarely buy anything,if you can't go a couple of hours without food or drink there must be a problem.I do sometimes have a pint of shandy which is priced ok

He's 22 later on this month

Don't think it will be Tungate or Holder at reserve,don't the reserves have to be U21.

It seemed relevant in your earlier post.I take it you don't really know how cheap the team is.Like me and about 99.9% of the supporters we don't exactly know how much the riders are costing the club.

Would you care to tell us how much the riders are getting paid,i've always wanted to know

IMO sport is about winning and most supporters want to see their team win.If you could have the mixture of both,winning and great racing that is the perfect combination and 100% of supporters would go home happy.But even back in the day you never got that only on occasions. You rightly pointed out back in the 2nd tier we were hammering teams and it wasn't good speedway.But the support was there,so to me this suggests at least 90% of supporters want to see their team win first and foremost.

I don't know about big news,just news every Friday wasn't it.You would be hard pressed to have big news every Friday for the next 6-7 weeks.

Thought you found it irrelevant anyway

Proctor and Rose i think.Don't know who that is at the back though.

I too struggle to comment on certain posts.I even start to write a reply sometimes and delete it,thinking i'm just banging my head against a brick wall.

Think Buster is just seeing out his term as BSPA Chairman now,by what he said at the forum.

No they didn't.

The point of a forum is also to discuss things after they have happened.
