Poole came close to losing last night because yet again in the main they couldn't gate. The 20 point home win over BV proves they can be comfortable at home. However in the return Cup fixture at Foxhole next Thursday I fully expect the Witches to come out the winners. Happy to be proved wrong but we'll see. NB, perhaps some of the supposed confusion in some of the updates (although Poole twitter updates were spot on as he sits directly over the start/finish line!) were due to the difficulty in recognising which Ippo riders were which due to the confusing team kevlars - also not helped by the faded yellow helmet colours looking very similar to white!!! And to add to the confusion Josh rode in Ipswich Kevlars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is why I don’t like rolling averages as they give a completely outdated figure for what they are achieving currently. Some can be distorted beyond belief. The Nicholls one being a prime example. It’s hard for the average fan to even work out themselves! The only scope is signing a rider (like Nicholls) who is on a low rolling average but averaging higher on 2019 averages alone. And there aren’t many that fall into that category. Less scope than you think! Yes, it makes it a bit of a farce I think - the original intention was to stop clubs/riders deliberately lowering their average either for more scopt later in the year to build or for the following year but it makes in season changes very confusing and the 'average' is no guide to form any more. There will be riders who have yet to ride in the Premiership who may ride to their rolling average or even improve on it and then there'd still be a significant improvement.

Prob just doing a Gavan to Gavan tbh. We have to put up with so much negative rubbish from him on a daily basis I'm not surprised a Poole fan gives it back slightly. Though nowhere near as bad! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole track is poor Ipswich were unlucky throwing away scoring positions The speedway updates feed was poor Richie Worrall is the weak link for Poole I think Covatti could be doing better as well If your to precious to accept any kind of comment about your team thats not my issue. I have may good debates on here with many Poole fans We all know what Shovlar is And a Poole fan gave it back to me lol........blaming the update feed on riders wearing the same kevlars is comical...........i paid my first visit to Ipswich on Monday and although they wore the same kevlars its pretty obvious who is who and its very unprofessional that Poole dont have them and even Josh looked like he was racing for us. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
