For Poole it’s quite clear Jack Holder isn’t a number one and Worrall isn’t cutting it at all at the moment. Klindt had his first poor meeting so can be forgiven that and Brady saw the meeting out better. Pooles reserves will always keep them in meetings .... that is until they come up against Heeps and Allen at the top of the league Witches Doesn't really matter as its only the cup but good performance overall particularly for the much maligned by you Brady Kurtz. Jack Holder could easily be a number one but is struggling at the moment. Our reserves will win us many matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,608 Posted April 18, 2019 Biggest crowds I seen long time and the best meeting..speedway can be good ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,362 Posted April 18, 2019 13, 14 and 15 all great races. Genuinely can't remember the last time I saw 3 good races in a meeting there. Brady looked to love the place! Great move in 14. Heat 15 was class. Draw fair result. We threw a lot of points away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoke Potter 242 Posted April 18, 2019 Sounds like it has potential... How many heats were processional with no racing? How many with close racing without passing? How many with multiple passes? Tempted to pay a visit next week............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZagarRacing 117 Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Poole won’t have a better chance to beat Swindon at Blunsdon. * No home track advantage * Low scoring reserves * Poole supporting Referee Edited April 18, 2019 by ZagarRacing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,819 Posted April 18, 2019 Great to hear the new track layout appears to have stood up well. Well done to all involved. Expected a Poole win so a decent result and comeback by the home side. Great to hear a good crowd turning out too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theblueboy 960 Posted April 18, 2019 A promising start for the new track, which livened up considerably around mid-meeting. Has to go down as a missed opportunity for the away team given the amount of points dropped by the home team and the bending of the rules by including an 8th man in their line up. Is this a new rule introduced in the PSC? Disappointed with Covatti. He clearly dived to get Doyle thrown out in heat 14 after making the mistake of trying to go round him on bend 1, however, Robinson obviously had a dabble on the Pirates in the match betting. Absolute shocker Robbo. 2, 6 and 7 for the Robins were disappointing, although, Dave Leopard showed some signs that he might be ok at home with a few more meetings under his belt. Reserves have started slowly, particularly Zak, and both need to find gating gloves and some speed. Kurtz excellent as always and the Poole reserves had a field day.

After reading that I feared for the meeting being completed, but it seems it went well. Great to hear. And a good crowd to boot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
