2 or 4 according to Danny Ford.

Hopefully 2, too much pressure riding at 4. There is only one rider who should be at 4!!

Agree Bowes has potential. He had 3 very good meetings for Worky at home against Scunny and Glasgow and away at Poole the latter after which he was probably tapped up for 2026. He failed to back those performances up in subsequent meetings.

  He missed a few meetings for Worky and never rode at Plymouth or Oxford. He found Armadale extremely challenging scoring 2 points from 8 rides over 2 meetings but he wasn't alone among Worky riders who struggled there. If he gates at Poole he will score okay but if he doesn't I believe he may struggle. He followed up his 13 for Worky with 2 guesting for. Glasgow.

He won't have the same pressures on him next season bearing in mind he probably won't be riding in Poland where he never pulled up any trees in the U24's or for Tarnow. I wish him well but you are welcome to him the way he treat Workington. 

He scored paid 3 for Glasgow following home Bomber for a 5-1 beating Cook and Kerr. He then touched the tapes in his 'easiest' race and finished last, off 15 metres. From memory he made a good gate in his last race and moved out allowing the Poole riders to pass him easily. Hopefully he has l earned from these mistakes.

In m opinion Fraser Bowes is a good signing, he did have some double figure meetings and some poor meetings too otherwise his would be higher but he should be able to increase his average a little now he has ridden most tracks and develop in to a solid performer.

 im not against any team  who can dominate a league year on  year , should be applauded . 

 

my issue is with the bad aura  they try and create ,  and  the atitude of not all. but some of the fans

 

also  lets  be honest the only reason poole dominate is because they can pay want the want to riders  , despite having an abysmal  track . I believe this is the part of  the down fall of british  speedway when clubs  chuck what they  want at riders with  no caps or limits .

No idea why you think that, it is not true, we do not pay what the riders want.

Even if they did pay what they want, they still turn a profit. Theyre doing something right.

definitely NOT the case, but they DO pay on time, and that goes a long way these days
