However, tonight there was some excellent racing, many an overtake and wasn’t all just from the gate. Speaking to one of the stewards tonight, he said the door count was just over 2,300, which for a nothing meeting is truly exceptional. No wonder every other club wants to be us But! But! But! I saw a photo of a "Blue Groove!!!! That's the important thing to mention, not the crowd of well over 2,000!!!! "Ahh! But how many of them of them will be back next time with the track looking like that?" Will no doubt be the question asked by some... "Pretty much most if not all of them, and maybe even more" will be the answer.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barker said there would no passing because track was slick, how wrong he was, passed Kerr in his first race then got passed by Kerr later in the same race. There was passing in most races. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, instead, we dumb down every single year... Maybe using the mean average of all the teams would be a compromise?.. Meaning the lowest teams have head room, (but not unreachable head room), to improve, and the top teams don't have to decimate their septet by reducing loads of points... ...like keeping it at 40 points?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the mean average of all the teams then why not?... That means the league doesn't get watered down.. Personally, as 14 heats, times 3 points, is 42, then that should be the average used... All seven riders, csn have had four rides each, so its up to the owners to build the best team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted Thursday at 08:08 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:08 AM Will also be interesting to see if they drop the 1 - +8 rider per team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on the Poole front Cairns will likely start the season at number 3 and 3rd HL in 2027! with Rushen in 2 or 4 position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think as things stand you can rule out Cairns riding in the championship next season. With Poland next season he can only race in one other league, so it'd be a choice between Premiership or Championship if he continues to race in Britain.
