from what i saw last night it seemed it was the ref that wanted to continue

Kasper is the riders name. buster isn’t the one that calls meetings off once started, that privilidge goes to the referee so I can’t see how buster is to blame

i had an ambulance out recently, they had to wait for a paramedic to arrive before i could have morphine

well done to Peterborough on retaining the trophy at a different venue. would have made the trip up as i enjoy going to Redcar but a fairly local day out with the family was rather appealing. all we need to find out now is where it's likely to be held next year so Peterborough can win 3 on the trot

but also affordable maybe

this isn't about Poole, think of the bigger picture

noticed quite a few Kings Lynn supporters at Peterborough recently .. is it due to a lack of regular meetings at KL?

people aren't fighting to get in the stadium before the "full" signs go up, so to have a future there HAS to be an element of back to basics in this country. the old NL (1970s/80s) was predominantly British/Commonwealth riders, most of those riders also had jobs outside of speedway yet it ticked along nicely and gave us some great entertainment, this is what we need to be seeing again, cut the cloth accordingly

when i was on a bike i was living the dream, the money side of it really wasn't an issue, and when i rode in the first team i didn't have a clue what money i was on i just wanted to get out there and ride. when i was at Canterbury they rode Saturdays so i just didn't work that day, and when at Exeter (3 hrs each way) i just took half day holiday from work on a Monday (BT) and took the bike in to work on the back of the car and left it in the BT yard ready to drive straight down. away meetings were holiday from work unless it was Wimbledon which was 10 minutes from me. at times i'd take 2 bikes on the trailer but it was very rare. basically what i'm saying is that now it just seems to be nowhere near that, even for MDL or whatever, it's all moved into being a business and self-employed and not about getting out on the bike

don't talk guests or R/R just yet

his manager

do you not think the track had been neglected for a number of years? it always seemed to be the same problems cropping up year after year but nothing was done until what sounds like a bit of a botch before this season started

Glyn can do a job, he doesn't turn bad overnight, maybe the problem here is the equipment at his disposal and the amount of time the Poole track has been neglected.

really beating himself up about his score, despite winning heat 2 he felt he should have contributed so much more. just worried now what's happened tonight

it was actually Gatwick so further than Stansted, and the flight was 6.05 .. i got him to the airport at 4.45am though, exactly 7 hours drive

so going back a short time, Jack Holder (having a contract with a Polish club) missing Peterborough meetings on a Sunday wasn't really anything that could be stopped if Poland have priority on that day

looking at the forecast what chance is there of this being called off early?

i've said it before but race suits HAVE to be the best option right now for identifying riders/teams. so many riders are now (rightfully) wearing a neck brace which seems to cover the logo/sponsor/team name, i think there needs to be a re-think over designs again so sponsors don't get fed up when their name is covered up

we had this at Kings Lynn a few weeks ago too ...

well that's the "ironic post of the year" sorted

feel for Cook here, he's very much a confidence rider and getting kicked down like this will do even more harm. why not keep him in but start with Tai & Lambert and if Cook feels ready then use him. i know Craig is having a lot of motor issues and if you have no confidence in what you're riding then that hits just as much - i'm wondering if Craig was to even take a month out and get everything sorted, get testing in Poland, and come back the rider we know he is
