I hate to admit but I have not really missed my speedway since the Brandon fiasco. The way you look at the sport changes and all meetings I see on the updates page I always look at the reserves to see what impact they have had, far to many meetings have one set scoring 4 and the others 10+. I know you can only beat what's in front of you but come on the Poole reserves will wipe the floor with any team, so effectively your main riders can score what they like as anybody having an off night you throw in an in form reserve. Hope to to see a major shake up next season and teams have a window to make changes as it's impossible to keep up. God to give credit where due as the only bit of luck Poole have had is when the unfortunate Stefan got injured allowing them to bring in Klindt & then Rye Houses demise saw them get Bomber. The other 6 teams did nothing until it was to late. To think Rosco keeps faith with Wobbler Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 25, 2018 Well I havejust got back from a buzzing Wimborne Road. Arrived an hour before tapes up and everything was as usual. But up to 7.30 the crowd kept coming in and it was easily the biggest crowd of the season. Full grandstand, people all the way around the place. Excellent. Spoke to Robbo in the pits and he said the track looked good. No comparison to Swindon where if you were not in front you couldn’t see anything. The first 4 heats were a but tentitive fir the riders. It was clear the track staff had worked late last night putting down thousands of gallons of water and had continued to water during the day. After the first 4 races the track settled down and we were treated to some excellent racing. After an enforce sun break, the Poole boys came out and attacked hard. Leicester just crumbled. They tried, and produced some thrilling heats, Andersen and Nicholls giving everything, but Pirates were just too good. Harris, who ran a poor last in his first, showed what he was about by having two sensational races, shoving Andersen to the fence to allow Jakobsen through in one, then bombing Nicholls in another to allow Brady through. This is what we have been missing all season. Someone who can take the fight to the opposition, and boy did Harris deliver. A great night, some great racing and three points to Pirates in our quest for the playoffs. As Middlo said in the press conference, no team will want to pick us in the playoffs. Next stop is Leicester next Monday. Hopefully 3 more points. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More sides than a 50 pence you have ginge. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 25, 2018 At the press conference Brady said the track was spot on after the first few heats. Just as they wanted it. The Pirates buzz is back. Time for the other teams to get a little worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 25, 2018 For Poole. Brady was excellent. Led from the front. Nicholls gave him a brilliant race to get by. 9/10 Josh started poorly but got better as the meeting wore on. 7/10 Kacsper. Identical to Josh. 7/10 Richie had one bad ride and was attempting to come from 3rd to first when he lost it on bend three. 6/10 Harris started with a poor last, then a defensive paid win, before stuffing Andersen and Scotty. 8/10 Freddie is a very good reserve and improving. Lots of bike skills and one for the future. 7/10 Nicolai was rock solid, dropping just one point. 8/10 For Leicester Nicholls started very well as did Hans but they just couldn’t live with Pirates tonight. Stu Robson also tried. Wells got a win in heat 14 but Worrall was about to have him when he slid off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
