Chatted to Shanes. No ef, no going to fall, just Greaves coming under and knocking him off. Couldn't believe he was excluded. His hand does not look pretty.

Just chatted with Chris Holder. He said the track at Kings Lynn was unrideable and that over 100 tons of fresh shale had been put on that was super grippy. Nowt wrong with Batchelor a 'handy' excuse.

Why the bleating on Perks? Great little rider with a future and better than Clegg and Greaves.

What do you really expect from this numpty?

All sounds quite feasible except for one fact. The night before at Poole he won the meeting for Kings Lynn with an excellent performance. Surely if he wanted to endear himself to the Poole fans a poor performance at Wimborne Road would have been the order of the day. In truth he didn't like the super grippy track Buster put out and thought it was dangerous. When riders get in a mindset about a track it doesn't seem to matter what work is done to it. Riders switch out of racing mode and they are done for the day. Seems that happened here.

To be honest if Batchelor got away with his pretend injury and walkout without some form of repercussion it would be a travesty. Looks like Buster believes like the rest of us that Batchelor wasn't injured at all and has hopefully shown him the door. Batchelor is not currently injured so no reason why he wouldn't be riding. Looks like heads have rolled after last weeks debacle.

We have had a lot of rain overnight with some very noisy thunderstorms. Track couldn't have had a better watering. Should be a very good meeting tonight. Looking forward to it. I think it will be close with Swindon having the edge with the return of Doyle and new signing Museliak who has hit the ground running. Made the Robins much stronger. Luckily for Poole the two away wins have virtually assured us a top 4 finish whatever the result this evening. And with Brady getting fit and it being perhaps KKs last meeting for Poole things are not looking so bad.

Shanes was basically speared by Greaves. Was gobsmacked when shanes was excluded. Shanes has an unusual style but was in control entering the first bend when Greaves clattered into him. I was on the metal stand at the first bend so had a very good view of the incident. Could have sworn Shanes was leading Greaves before he was knocked off in his second ride. Shanes saw off both Clegg and Greaves last time we were at Monmore. Why? We can bring in a top rider for KK. We could have a rider of the calibre of Hancock, Hampel, shamek, Pepe, etc. Pretty sure Matt has been working on a solution.

Its got nothing to do with whether Worral can do any better than KK. Sure he can. But we can replace KK with a proper number one, not a second string. Replacing KK with Worral will end our interest in the title.

Absolutely NO!

A rule needs to be brought in to stop any shinannigans about feigning injury. If IRR is implimented, the rider should not be allowed to ride for 5 days.

Can I ask why the two riders who refused to ride in heat 8 or 9 against Poole are not banned for 28 days like Holder? Batchelors 'injury' is clear to everyone. Back racing 24 hours later with no effects. But Lambert and I think Huckenbeck failed to race so surely they should receive the same penalty as Holder. Or is there just double standards here?

You don't release a number one and replace him with a second string. Our chance of the title this year would instantly vanish. Whilst fans from other clubs would welcome that move, Matt would never make that change. There are better riders out there to replace KK.

Most certainly Richie has done a good job so far but to say he will be kept in place of KK when Brady returns is ridiculous.

Just watched this and have to say the best meeting I have seen from here. Track is still horrible shape but there was some determined racing. Hope the injuries to the riders are not bad. Leicester threw this away with Lynch making howlers and King being completely stupid in heat 15. Why didn't he come inside on the last lap? Madness! Think the top four are now decided. Just a little jostling for top spot but whoever gets the choice won't find it an easy call.

You need to read. I was writing about KK not Howarth. Perks is a great little rider and better than your current reserves.

Gavan is coming over as very bitter and twisted as usual. One would think he is a Wolves fan who was there instead of the forums anti Poole troll. Even the Wolves fans who were there must be embarrassed by his posts this evening. Most have congratulated Poole on the win. Remember, Howarth was last when he fell. Shanes getting injured by Greaves was poor refereeing when Greaves took him out. Shanes had the beating of his rival. Poole won because we simply wanted it more and it showed from mid meeting. A run of heat advantages whittled away the ten point lead and Wolves could not answer to the Pirates charge. Track caught out both teams with Holder wobbling on the last bend to allow Masters through and Schlein doing similar later. Hans tried to charge in heat 13 but ended 30 metres further behind KK. Super effort from Poole and Wolves couldn't raise their game tonight. No excuses. Poole with no number one (which will be rectified soon) Lindgren went awol when it mattered. A fully deserved Poole win which puts the cat amongst the pigeons.

Fantastic couple of away wins from a weak Poole team. Wait till change comes!

What a result!!! Wolves crumbled completely. One rider does a team make and Pirates ran riot. Whoop Whoop!!

13 and 15 is 8 extra points to Wolves.

Didn't know he was riding here tonight. Matt was talking with KK in the pits and shook his hand at the end of the conversation.

Fence fixed. Just waiting on medics. Racing should be underway soon.

Gavan is a complete numpty. Period.

Nothing broken heavy concussion. Lucky boy!

Ambulance arrived.
