The hottest pre season favourites for many years .......make 13 changes........benefitted from Rye closing and avoided injuries.......and you think that’s a stunning effort It’s like congratulating Man City on making the top four lol Even now in the final missing Kurtz helps Poole as well Anything less than a Poole win will be failure after being hot favourites, and loads of changes to not then be champs will be a disappointment Not a stunning comeback lol. 12 down on aggregate with 3 races to come for the world champ.! Pre-season and team we had at the start is irrelevant. We had to get 3 5-1 advantages just to get level. It was like M City were 4-0 down at half time against Liverpool. Anything less than a Poole win is always failure for us and i can imagine the flak we would have got had we lost. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,536 Posted October 3, 2018 Poole were being ridiculed after a few months for being bottom and losing at home etc... made some decent signings and now could win the league. Id say its a pretty good effort to be honest , even if they dont win the league from here 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No team can start the season and say anything other than a title is failure. To make the final is a remarkable and fantastic acheivement. Nothing can take that away and the fans are proud of the team. We were going into the final as underdogs and now even more so with the loss of Brady but you can be sure the remaining six will give it everything they have got to bring the title of Champions to Poole.

I think the problem is the hyperbole from one or two Poole fans just winds others up, quite deliberately in one case. It was a decent comeback by the Pirates but one that I certainly expected them to achieve given the match circumstances. I said on the night that heat 4 was crucial and I stand by that, although of course we will never know. Having said that Bomber certainly did the business in some style to clinch it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted October 3, 2018 I would just like to congratulate Poole on them qualifying for the title decider. One thing I would say though is to question the IRR rule which played a part in your win. When it was first introduced it was to enable a team to be compensated when one of their riders was wiped out by an opponent but it seems it is now used to replace an offending rider as well. I feel this to be unfair to the innocent team. In this case Poole had better riders to come in than Somerset which I think proved advantageous. Another point I would like to mention is the use of guest riders in playoff matches. Should Musielak be allowed to guest again now that he has already guested for Belle Vue? I say this because isn't it a rule now that no team can bring in a rider who is already involved in the playoffs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,758 Posted October 3, 2018 I think Poole deserve credit for getting a tune out of Harris and Klindt, neither were in form and both looked like dodgy signings. 600cc engines? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No many expected us to beat Somerset and even less expected it after 7 heats Monday but through grit and determination and a unwillingness to lie down and accept defeat we are in the final. Middlo gets a lot of flak some of it is justified but his input is vital on nights like Monday and should be rightly praised, if we had lost there would be plenty clamouring for his head.

Dickie Head 247 Posted October 3, 2018 Am I right in thinking that Howarth was not given a RR outing for Summers? I know he was off colour but if he had taken one it would have freed up one of the reserves for heat 13. I’m also wondering whether Lawson should have been given gate 1 in heat 15. Big ask for him to make an impact from 3. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is not even a comparison because our comeback Monday was like M City winning 4-0 at half time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
