Absolutely rediculous whats wrong with adding a bit of glamour to the procedings, political correctness gone mad, what is the world coming to..

Im sure a lot of clubs will be in the same boat mate, every club will have to cut costs. Every club has to be accountable for there own actions, and if it means going back to Bibs and ditching kevlars then so be it. We still have a lot of loyal sponsors at Poole, and also a main team sponsor, so its not all that bad.

He can mate, thats all that will be required of him. If the others come to the party and forfill there potential which i would like to think they will, then they can carry him. But like i said, im pleased he has another club/night it will make him a better rider, and we hopefully will see the benifit.

Thanks mate, everything going slowly, days are good nights still a bit dodgy. Plenty of worms in my head, nerve endings still a long way to go, but i have the scan on march 12th, and i will be a bag of nerves..

Im pleased that this has now been anounced, it was a no brainer for the lad. The extra meetings will do him good and make him a better rider as ive said. Welcome back James.. We have a premiership title to win !!!

Im sure it will be James mate, but i would suspect he's looking for more sponsors Sheffields a long way from near Dorchester/poole. And even though Matt has offered him a bit more he's still on limited points money he will need more help.

I agree Steve, it can only be good for British speedway in the long run.

Thank you Sid, im working hard to get better, the days continue to improve but the nights are still iffy, Have the big scan in Marc, i will be a little shaky. The problem this country has is the money situation Sid, to attract these big names back you would need sponsors to chip in to pay there points money. Very few clubs can afford it now. Thats why im guessing the 8 pt rule was brought in..

If CVS confirmed that Steve then thats good enough. We still have a splattering of top class riders here tho, but a few more wouldnt go amiss, providing there pay demands are rasonable.

And plenty of laps on P&P day and Chris and Neil helping with lines will go a long way to helping.. when they go away the same applies, but all the boys are savy so it won't take them long to work out set ups and track characteristics,.

Correct mate, any of the top 5 could end up as No, imo there is that much improvement in all of them. Szczpaniack cannot do any worse than last time and is open to improvement and Kasper has an awful lot of untaped potential. Josh will make a solid second string, and a fit and focused Chris will be hard to shove off the No 1 berth. This team is potentially very good, but everybody needs to stay sound. but that also applies to all teams..

I think James would be a fool not to take it. Improved terms two nights of speedway way will certainly benifit him and make him as better rider. Should he say no, which would suprise me, Josh would be an able replacement.

Hi mate, Brady will have a good season all being well. He will continue to improve in his own time, he's a slow burner.. But whether he will improve enough to be top of the pile remains to be seen. He has to curb his enthusiaum at the gate, that cost him the Aussie title. And refs will pick it up..

He maybe 30 mate but yes, you will see.. As for Vaculik he's a good addition to the PL, and i expect him to have a good season. Matts a big admirer of him.

Chris has had his problems, and it takes its toll. A fit and focused Chris will finish top of the PL standings and push these upstarts in the GP series. That is what i expect him to do. form is tempary class is permanant..

Er i beg to differ Steve, we have.. Chris will blow that average away this season mate.

Mate dont worry about it, its all pure jealousy.. Yes they all have to preform come to the party and stay clear of injury. I as a fan like the team very much and Matt is more than happy with it.. Im very sure the new boys will get plenty of laps in on P&P day. Both Chris and Neil can play a pivital part in teaching the new boys how to ride poole properly. I fully expect Chris to be captain, but needs to get involved more in the pits..

He came in on 7.22.

Sometimes this applies to all teams. Luck and not injuries plays a big part with every club..

Its a marathon, not a sprint..

Season ticket sales/pass's enquiries are apparantly up mate, and im sure than Matt would have a few other irons in the fire to attract the crowds.. Matt states in the echo he feels this is the best side he has assembled in the last 4 years, i would say longer. But as i said, speedway is not run on paper, it must be transfered to the track..

No we have to deserve it. We have a very good side on paper, and 7 riders who are more than capable of increasing there averages.. But the most inportant thing in speedway is no injuries. we get that and we are stuffed, the same as any other team. if they all stay sound and improve like i would expect them to then we will take a lot of beating.

I do also hope that is wrong mate that Ezz has left. What he does is the mark of somebody who is/was throughly professional and takes pride in his work. I would talk to him everytime i go up there and you can see he takes a lot of pride in what he does. Yes he would like better equipment to make life easier for him but he works with what hes got. Ezz always used to get praise for his track prep, but unfortunately riders want more of a say which is not always a good thing, especially when you have a curator like Ezz. Riders are professional sports men and ride many tracks, but rarely will you come across a dangerous track in this country. Remember you cannot prepare a track the same every week, weather conditions depict that, but the curators can only work with whats at there disposal. We at poole have some very good track staff, and they work hard, without them there would be no speedway, and they are fully appreciated. Put it this way you wouldn't tell a Neuro surgeon his job, if its not broke you dont fix it. Good curators and track staff are a god send to speedway, and we need to keep them..

Quite right Steve. Many top line No 1's have a say as to how the track is prepared and watered.. Ezz at Somerset is not the exception. But you do need the right stuff to prepar the track with. Which is usually red shale, it binds better than anything else..
