Have they not realised what sport they are following ffs? I dislike Poole as much as the next person but talk about desperate jibes.... And thats what it is, desperation.

Danny Connor 351 Posted August 2, 2018 Im a lynn fan that dislikes poole but this really is a storm in a teacup! We were beaten on what on a good day is a sh!t track. but its the same for both teams. As for the Contamination. This is a tiny thing. its almost a nothing and if it helps the track so be it. Poole track needs as much help as it can get. Maybe be discreet. sure its no worse than a few stock car crashes? No track needs the Environmental bs because that would put the sport in a bad place. a lot of hot air over nothing and a few posters on here that could do with growing up a bit on both sides of the argument. Its a bit cringe really! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some on here are talking utter twaddle. But no suprise there i suppose That is total rubbish Starman. I don't care which team it is. Dumping oil is against the law, whoever does it. Even changing your car engine oil, the old oil has to be disposed of in accordance with the law, the council/private waste disposal units provide containers for used oil, you just cant dump wherever you want. You be telling me next its ok to drive up a lovely country lane and just dump my old mattress or old fridge. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,617 Posted August 2, 2018 Nothing wrong now with the Poole track - apart from some 'thin' shale, but as several riders including Kyle Newman commented it was in very good nick with fastest race times recorded. Even Robert chalked up the fastest away rider race time this season!! In any case the Stars will have their chance to get their own back at the end of the month. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With many speedway tracks looking like a tip, its perfectly ok to mix oil in with shale as long as its not spilled in the pits or public areas where someone could slip over on it!

Grachan 7,314 Posted August 2, 2018 I agree. Poole should he docked points. They are getting a bit close to the top of the league now - so let's just get hold of their points and dock a few. Maybe about 10 or so. Bloody Poole. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is only Iversen who has complained but he hasn't ridden well all season so all the tracks must be bad except for the GP qualifier track which he seemed to like.

Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 2, 2018 As Poole have now issued a statement that it has been cleaned and sorted according to guidelines FFS can we put this to bed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
