old bob at herne bay Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 I have to ask whehter the young lad is taking on too much far too soon in his career ? He's just turned 16 and seems to have gone into major league speedway with both boots, racing in both Poland and 2 English leagues. Coupled with all the silly U18 U19 U21 championships now held in every country he will be totally overwhlemed with bookings. Expecting an awful lot of the youg lad, and I just hope and pray that he doesnt competley exhasust himself both physically and mentally in his first season of serious competitive racing.

The first rider missing due to Polish commitments of the season goes to Zach Cook! Piss off and stay there! Dan Thompson matches the achievement...

Neila Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 @LisaColettethanks for the info 😜 all I can say looking forward to seeing how he handles Edinburgh this year, as looked a total novice last time he was there. Also did not say anything about the shenanigans at the end of season 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the Promoters are quite content to schedule in meetings, fully knowing riders will be missing, therefore it isn't really the riders fault clashes happen... Given the lack of UK rider development, over the past two decades or so in particular, and the impact of Brexit and Visa changes, every club needs to use every rider available... And.... It "kind of works", given the lack of any major prestige or financial return on winning any of the competitions, means clubs have to make do and mend, and adapt accordingly... Clubs want to put Speedway meetings on, and riders want to earn money, with guesting being a perfect solution for both, hence the operating model is the way it is...

ASpeedwayfan Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Assuming the Poole management would already have a plan for Zach tomorrow, is it R/R or is there a guest to come in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonfish Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Hi all, looking for a bit of advice. I’m coming down for Poole v Scunthorpe next week and was planning to park at the stadium. What time do you usually need to arrive to get a space? And if it’s full, what’s the best alternative - town centre parking and walk over?

Assuming it’s back to 7:30 start. 6pm I’m sure you’d get a space, and worst case scenario you’d be directed into the school car park, I usually get there closer to 7 and have never not been able to park in the main car park or school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
