    Poole v Glasgow 23/8/23 Championship

    Thank you., I thought in the past once replaced by the other reserve you couldn't be put back in. (Admittedly it's been a long time since I last went to a meeting)

    Poole v Glasgow 23/8/23 Championship

    Is there a reason when Pijper replaced Complin after Ace's fall? I thought that once you were replaced you couldn't put the original reserve back in
  3. According to the Speedway Updates site it was Matthew Ware
  4. Sadly can't polish a turd however you describe it. Good luck in the 2nd leg
  5. So what you mean is he applied the Nicky Pedersen line? Of course he's in front because he hasn't made his turn yet!

  7. great article thank you for sharing
  8. Out of pure interest what will happen in the KOC with the withdrawal of Eastbourne from the league who had earlier in the year beaten the Kent Kings? Will Poole be given a walk over or are the Kings being given a reprieve and become Pooles opposition in round 2. Feel sorry for the Eagles in having to quit league racing.

    RELEGATION IS THE AIM

    I don't know about that. I was at Wembley last week and the Bungles were awful. In fact the Buccs were just as bad at Totteringham but some how were still in the game towards the final whistle! I've been to most of the London games and not many have set the pulse racing. I am awaiting the Cheeseheads to finally arrive in London although I have seen them at Lambeau Field.

    Ipswich v Poole Prem. 11/6/19

    If you go by the performances from our guests on Monday you can probably understand why we were expecting a tonking taking place. With Ricky having withdrawn on Monday I was expecting nothing at all, such a shame about what has happened to Kyle since I last saw him.

    Swindon Stadium

    When the football pitch was widened all of the speedway track had to be moved out. The only things not to be moved were the Floodlights. When Poole Town FC were booted out then the speedway track was brought back to a similar size which you see now with the Greyhound track being reinstated.

    For the none believers a track can be laid and raced on the next week. It happened at Poole when they enlarged the football pitch in the late 80's Ok we already had the dog track In place so it can be done.

    Swindon Stadium

    First time I've been to Blunsdon in a number of years as I was passing thought I'd take a look before heading home. Surprised by how close the housing is by the 3rd and 4th bends. Looking forward to some berk in Robinscroft Rd to complain about the noise coming from over the road. Nothing done to the track from my vantage point looking over it from the traffic lights outside the stadium.
  15. The best race I have seen live was between Mark Loram and Billy Hamill at Poole in a meeting live on sky. They were all over the track for the whole race. At a slightly lower standard Marcus Bisson and Gordon Kennett heat 8 of a National League fixture around 1985 or 86 also at Poole.

    Somerset v Poole Prem B. 20/8/18

    I was disappointed watching the meeting with so little passing. Remember going a number of years ago and seeing a pretty good fixture against Glasgow after it threw it down with rain. Hopefully they will be able to have another go at shining a better light of there wonderful track soon.

    So eloquently put there Orlov. But sadly so true

    Track sharing

    Trouble is most teams are nowhere near each other. just to prove some sort of point Poole's two local current tracks are Eastbourne 122 Miles, Swindon 101 Miles away so most teams are too far away. It is ok for teams like Reading, Oxford & Swindon that are not too far apart 40 & 27 minutes apart. In the midlands it does get better but Brandon isn't Leicester for instance. Sadly for most fans it may be your team but the racing is not the same due to the fact if you were a fan of either Lakeside & Exeter which track would you want to watch (please forget the distance involved here). I know which one I'd prefer out of the pair and wouldn't want to see

    Swindon Stadium

    There has been complaints I've seen in the Echo about Poole in the past and considering we've been going since 1948 you should of thought of that when moving in.

    Swindon Stadium

    It's sad really when you consider that they knew what was there when they were purchasing the place isn't it!

    Swindon 2018

    Well if that's the case you will not like it, no sounds behind the glass but does solve the bitter cold at Blunsdon. I have only been behind glass at 2 meetings one was at Hackney and the other at Poole and I just missed the roar of the bike and the smell of the engines.
