Harris loves racing at Wimborne Road.

Not the times when they deliberately don’t give him some dirt to play with….🙄

Yes many good options.

Yes, but none of them quite up to the standard Villads is currently showing in my opinion.

He is always good at Poole, whatever the track is like.

It would be much worse if you only had 5.00 to play with, you are fortunate he has done enough meetings for  his average to go up considering he is missing meetings. With his current average he has gone above Flint so Howarth and Flint could take a r/r ride, ok not as good as Nagel but Villads has never ridden Poole before so not sure you could say he would have achieved a better score than r/r or a guest.

My point is I’ve seen the track been deliberately doctored on the outside to prevent him performing his typical Harris moves.

Neither did Frazer Bowes but look how he scored the other week, when poor old worky took you to a last heat decider 😃

He has had poor meetings at kings Lynn this season too and he says its because they prepare the track for gate and go but meetings I have seen on tv it looks like he has lacked speed in those meetings. On Monday he was on fire but the opposition was very poor.

Home advantage 

Hardly gonna set it up to how he likes it.

I could see him having similar debuts to Mcdiarmid and Bowes at Poole (maybe having to wait for playoffs if we meet). So Bowes would be a good replacement although be hard to reproduce similar score but you never know.

I do understand all that and I didn’t say he would achieve a better score at Poole but just that he is very much more on the up than any of the guests available.

Of course I get the home advantage thingy. It takes me back to my original comment. Glasgow is a racers track with numerous lines and is nigh on impossible to prepare for home team advantage.

Yes true, I expect him to achieve great things in the sport but Glasgow knew when they signed him he would miss some meetings but like Plymouth with Klindt are willing to accept that.

I think every club has home track advantage, they don't win their home meetings so easily without a bit of home advantage.

Count yourselves lucky. A lot of Poole fans love going to Glasgow for that reason.
