Not sure on the others but Adams first heat was a mechanical issue, not a track one 

A frustrating incident that one. You could easily hear with one minute still on the clock that his bike wasn’t firing properly when giving it close to full throttle, whilst warming up at the tapes. It was inevitable it wasn’t going to make it past the first bend. Really he should have tried to get his bike changed and run the risk of being excluded on 2 mins, at least then we would have been able to put Zach in as a replacement. There were no winners by just hoping the problem would magically disappear on their own. Lost a couple of points through that. Although that was one of the most exciting “races” all season at Blunsdon.

Enjoyed Tom Brennan’s cameo. Not afraid to really screw it on going into the bends, which unfortunately is a massive improvement over Jack Smith in itself.

Decent enough meeting in the end, even without much in the way of passing.

not convinced about Poole for the playoffs and the title at all.

Fine, can accept that but with others last night and in previous weeks some of the riders often seem to not fire in their first heats.

Mr Shovlar would make a wonderful politician, fantastic at ignoring and denying negative issues and peddling propaganda to deflect attention. Definitely a missed vocation :D

Would probably pay more than being the cart dealer he currently is

The prosecution calls Lisa Colette to the stand...

 

Is that your opinion from the video or your view in normal time? JD has clealrly gone past the white line, and in fact, is closer to the hot dog stand than the white line when he hits the hole.

Bournemouth aren't going to be short of politicians when the current incumbent has had enough. 

I have assumed nothing. I have taken in to consideration the views of other Poole fans poole keith and Lisa Colette. Skidder has now confirmed that indeed there was a hole but it wasn't the 'hole' that caused JD to straighten up so badly.

Perhaps you should take the opportunity to pop along to Specsavers today, and whilst your there book an appointment for Skidder.

Confirmed by who ?

Not sure if anyone mentioned Brennan as a viable replacement (in any way other than just a list of names and averages that would fit in the limit, anyway).

Half the issue is probably some of us thinking that Smith would at least improve in his ability from when he first started with us, however that hasn’t transpired at all. If anything he looks worse now from his confidence being shot to bits.

from national league evidence I was amazed Swindon signed smith, his form away from belle vue is pretty modest tbh, tom has limited experience of the bigger tracks but is excellent on the smaller ones, his big plus is he has good kit too.

I think come next Thursday no way Jack should comeback his confidence has gone and it is not fair on him.Hopefully Brennan can ride again i expect the CRAZY rules say no to that hope not.If not give Anders Rowe a bit more experience whoever rides is going to do very well to beat Berge/Riss anyway but Jack Smith needs to regroup for next year and rebuild his career.

Surely Pete it not up to the fans to find riders ..it was quite clear form some time ago that Smith was unlikely to beat anyone so we  might as well  have   given  someone else a chance

lol comedy gold.

Ask Jason Doyle where the hole was im sure he can point it straight out to you.

All the Poole fans have spoke about the hole appearing and the remedial work carried out.............................everyone except you shock horror.

Where is your detailed match report as well?

We got a full blown rider by rider one when Poole beat a very weakened Somerset team.........................oh yes silly me you got beat so the report goes out the window.............

Oh your Gavan everyone was talking about you I din't have a clue who you were other than they were saying you were some pervo on twitter, nice to meet you at last
