Today's meeting is off and a further attempt will be made tomorrow. Presumably we are running RR for Claus, though no mention at all has been made of our line up despite several press releases, featuring the probably ghost written thoughts of Chris and Tom. Certainly the Poole website shows us as using RR. Question for today- if the meeting had gone ahead who would have been our number eight? Jack Smith is riding at Mildenhall today.

Jack Smith was one of five riders withdrawn from this afternoon's meeting at Mildenhall, suffering a groin injury, so there must be some doubt about him being available tomorrow night.

For me it's simple, Brown has to go, putting Pijper out in Heat 12 is just plain ineptitude and a total lack of awareness of the situation and the best options available.

14 points just isn't enough, Poole could have that pulled back by ht5. We need to ride intelligently down there, gating is imperative, no heading straight out to the fence for the dirt as the fast line isnt there. I think we are toast but will cheer on regardless.

14 is unlikely to be a big enough lead unless Tom and Lee can turn in far better performances at Wimborne Road than earlier this year and a lot depends on how Vadin takes to a track he has never ridden on. And a team manager who understands that a rider only needs to take three rides!

As Ace came to the tapes for his third ride I found myself thinking ' Good, that's his rides out the way' leaving room for Lee to replace him.No, Broon knows best. After a good start Ben and Vadim tailed off alarmingly. Maybe we should employ a sports psychologist or hypnotist pre Wednesday.

He can probably handle swapping riders around - I'm taking you at of this one but you're in the next instead. Is it because he wants to be everyone's friend or because hes not a promoter, just a volunteer. Whatever the reason, it needs to change and from tomorrow!

If the score was 70 - 20 you would still find something to complain about. Vadim tailed off on his second bike last 2 rides,maybe Lee could explain the reason if he was asked about heat 12 most times their is a reason

Did it? May be not on Tim Korniellussen and didn't he tell Shane he would score more points if he wasn't wearing his chain? He had scored a maximum in the previous meeting!
