Apart from playoffs Good Friday is Poole's biggest crowd, so would be stupid not to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,855 Posted April 19, 2019 45 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: Stop using the track as an excuse. Last we week we lost at home to King's Lynn. The meeting was 37-35 to Poole with 3 Heats to go. Robert Lambert won Heats 13 & 15 which KL hit two 5-1s in. Heat 13 & 15 decided the meeting result. The two meetings against Swindon we haven't won why because we can barely take points off their HL's We lost to Peterborough a team that is built 3 points under the limit. Our top end is not strong enough and that is the sole reason why we lost. Holder is not a No.1. Kurtz is not reliable when under pressure in the big races. We will see this all season long. Nobody has blamed the track as far as I’m aware for Poole losing - they have just commented on how bad the track was. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect speedway weather on a Bank Holiday and Poole cant provide a decent track....how poor Apparantly heat 13 was good between Doyle and Klindt Seems to me Poole riders dont want to attack the track......Batchelor who hardly likes tricky conditions is coping fine Woeful from Holder and Kurtz Pipe down.

I think Richie will be the first to go. See Kacper Woryna coming in if the points fit. Jacks just struggling. We have a few weeks until next home meeting just hope he finds this issue. You gonna pay for woryna's mechanics and wages then?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woryna is not the answer for sure as he has started the new POL season less than impressive. Even in the odd meeting Jakobsen has ridden in he was poor. I think those 4 League meetings H/A against BV and Swindon will have a bearing on what happens next. Why fly in Woryna and his Mechanic/s/team when he isn't performing (certainly not as a HL in UK anyway). Rather spend on a proven rider in the Prem even if not popular with some. The next month will be interesting that's for sure as this won't be allowed to continue. Of course that's assuming the Ford's don't want to hold on to the money bearing in mind this season's team was built around Club assets and riders they could sign within a certain budget.

lastword 200 Posted April 19, 2019 1 hour ago, Fixer2 said: Try watching Polish Ekstraliga, Sunday afternoon racing very often in sunny weather... not a problem... water bowser and a track team that put the effort in and know what they are doing! Just got back from the National League meeting at Belle Vue. 1 p.m. start. Hottest day of the year in Manchester by a mile, but the water browser was out about every three heats (for just a few laps) and the meeting was completed in one hour fifty minutes. No dust at all! It can be done. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
