I don't understand why people don't let the Chris Holder issue drop after all this time. None of us really know what happened that night, we can all assume, but we don't know, as there's usually two sides to every argument. What's done is done and can't be changed. As a person, Mr Holder would seem to be a man with a kind heart, when you think back on how he put his life on hold at the time of the tragic Darcy Ward accident, and he doesn't deserve this continuing criticism in my opinion, irrespective of whether he was the instigator of the troubles last year or not. There are so many nasty and evil things going on in this world to worry about. without something as petty as this continuing grudge, life is to short. I'll probably get a lot of negative comments thrown back at me now, but I shan't respond. I'm entitled to my opinion as we all are, but once stated, it's over and done with.

Speedway Heaven.... A Poole Thrashing :D

Why the exclamation mark when you've asked a question?

The only thing that mattered last night was that the Stars won. The grippy track was prepared as expected. I have no doubts the Pirates came with all good intentions, but when they found themselves trailing early on, their enthusiasm soon disappeared. I enjoyed the experience, if only from the point that it will shut those loud mouth fans up, that we are forever hearing. We except sometimes these scores happen and they are not a true reflection of the teams strength, but all we have heard form certain Poole supporters is about the how much better they are because they thrashed us early on. Last night really levelled up them arguments.,, But saying that , the Stars really did ride will. Onwards and upwards we continue...………..

Let us be a realist here. Whoever tops the group will pick Belle Vue who have sadly been weakened with Dan Bewley out.

You seem to spend a lot of time on here about this meeting considering you think it was a nothing meeting.This result has obviously hurt a bit. That's what's wrong with the sport.League winners deserve some kind of recognition for finishing top imo.Try explaining to someone who don't go to speedway you race a whole league campaign and if you finish top you don't automatically win the league.Some would think it's crazy.

A couple of weeks ago, all we got from Poole fans was " We're top of the League", now all of a sudden after a complete thrashing they never wanted to win the league anyway!!!

No. It won’t. It will be less than recent weeks due to the holidays being over but far from the smallest attendance. Why on earth are you so negative all the time? Very strange.

A very good crowd saw a mediocre meeting due to Poole being so poor. KL will top the league and pick Belle Vue. Kings Lynn look solid throughout and a special mention to Simon Lambert tonight who has taken some criticism in the past. Do not believe we saw the real Poole tonight but Brady is not a big scoring number 1. Well done Stars.

Shovlar is not good for Poole or there fans comes across as believing he is there spokesman which does the club no favours.A great win by Lynn last night and i was thinking how many of the modern day riders of today would of struggled with wet deep grippy tracks in yesteryear.?

Despite the scoreline this was a pretty decent meeting with plenty of passing, no re-runs and no fallers! JD and Jack may have maxed out but it wasn't easy as Doyley came from the back at least twice and i reckon you will see Jack's stunning chase and pass on Kyle in heat 13 on Speedway GB website very soon! Both Rebels had so much speed to pass as they wanted/needed, inside or outside. All the Rebels were solid with the three guests putting in a good shift. NBJ sussed the track quickly on what is possibly his first visit there and Todd was very good all night. Adam started well but think had a bike issue in heat 14. Nico and Aaron had solid if not spectacular nights and were both well on the pace. For Wolves Thorsell was awful for first two races but got better and had some good tussles with Doyley. Howarth tried his heart out for not much reward, Andersen was poor but might have had bike problems too. Masters for a former Somerset rider wasn't as good as i had expected him to be. Morris looked good when he gated and Sarjeant had a good ride as well. Only 3 points coming from Rory's R/R was the downfall.

Why the question mark when you haven't asked a question!

We can allow Poole to take the credit as they are the masters of losing deliberately and we have only copied them!

i wooden bee two shure aboot that .

No because 1) He didnt ride anyway 2) The 8 day rule only applies to guest appearances. As he wouldve been representing his own club last Sunday even had the meeting gone ahead I belueve he would still be elligible!

I have to agree with the above when a rider has genuinely been injured and perhaps with the proviso that the signing is for the remainder of the season & that we don't see a surge of riders leaving teams who are not in the play offs to join teams who are. Ironically if teams were allowed to strengthen and Brum had signed a rider like Greenwood for Hume again prior to Walker being injured it would have left Brum weaker as it will now be RR for Walker whatever and a choice of guests for Hume until the playoff begin when the choices are limited to riders from teams outside the play offs? I would be tempted to get Ben Wilson on standby & get him a few home laps in prior to the play offs.

If its true that Poole were not trying last night then that is VERY UNFAIR to the paying public and all the riders and management should be heavily fined or even kicked out of the play-offs. Having said that I don't think it's true and they were well and truly beaten by a better team

No not scared of anyone even Kurtz got a race win over Robert Lambert showing he is fast enough when needed. Worrall also in heat14. Ok so considering we were always likely to lose, it didn't matter by how many and Klindt missing only shows how much we wanted it last night. In my view it would be very risky for Kings Lynn to pick us in the playoffs because of last nights performance, they know we are much better than that.

So Poole not putting it in. Must have cost Fordy a few quid in guaranteed points money. All for a meeting that didn’t matter to him. The old Choker fans don’t half come out with some old 541te. As for Shovy and his comments, everyone knows what he is about. If the guy said good morning to you, you would go outside and check for rain. Am I right in thinking IF Lynn finish top it will the first time in thier history in the Top League ? Or did we finish there once before ? if only Poole could have got Chris Folder in at no 1 instead of Kurtz. Think of the difference that would have made. It would have been good to see him on theat Saddlebow track last night.

I am fully aware that he said it on TV but it was tongue in cheek and Poole bit hook line and sinker !!! As far as TV entertainment value goes we thought it was a great meeting and so did they. By the way, how did your lot get on tonight !!!

Isn’t that a summary why we are where we are? ‘Averages’ can certainly serve their purpose, also the route of much evil. Paying customers just want to see two teams going for it, not a pantomime.

Nah, I have to much a life to go to a nothing meeting. Speedway fits into my life, my life doesn't revolve around speedway. Plus if I went I'd prob still be asleep at the stadium

It was a different Poole performance to a few weeks back. Maybe average lowering for next season? Or your boys have lost heart? I don’t understand how a team can perform so different. For the 1st half of the meeting it looked like pros vs amatures. I still wouldn’t choose Poole in the playoffs though. no gloating though. Still a long way to go

I just picked a team.

Was that not also mentioned on the BT commentary?
