Thanks Starman

Car park full. Very busy already.

Newman withdrawn from the meeting already.

 

Who puts on a meeting without any reserves. Bit silly as already they are down to 14 riders. That means several races with 3 riders and even a race with only 2 riders

[full-throttle 182]

does it really matter?

 

when the line up was finalised who predicted the M6 would be closed for 12 hours and a rider would withdraw after one lap?

Newman crash race at 6.30 secs.

Track getting extra work quite greasy due to rain this week.

There is always a risk in Speedway of injury so most meetings have reserves

Watching the speedway updates and ashamed of the line-up of speedway "stars" who have come out to support somebody who imo would of been one of the best.. Darcy had deserved so much better !!

This is a damn embarrassment. The track is awful. Taking all the dirty of the first bend now. I can see this being cancelled. A bloody joke of a track. That from a Poole supporter of over 45 years

Totally agree with you, Poole track nothing but a joke, all Kippers & curtains!

Sounds a bit similar to BV 2016, within days to the same date. The season is starting too soon, weather is going to be unpredictable. Its a shame, because as like last year, a good quality international field is gathered.

@Poolespeedway

Riders have assembled on the in-field .... and sadly the news is that the track conditions are deemed not safe and meeting abandoned!

Heard no refunds, which if is the case is not right. Even if for the benefit of Darcy Ward people should be entitled to at least half their money back!

[Midland Red 2,383]

O M G !

 

Matt Fraud's poo Poole

 

What an advert, and why no refunds?

 

(Were there any trophies for this one?)

 

Where's Mr Shoveller? What excuses do you have?

totally agree there - I think Chris Holder going to be spoilt riding for Kings Lynn this season there certainly won't be the track issues at KL that there always is at Poole Buster doesn't always get the track right but 99% of the time if he can't sort it it can't be sorted .
