Good that at last they are going to try and sort it but one wonders why it has taken so long. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just depends on sourcing the right equipment to do the job. shame the management cant make a statement to that effect still I suppose that would be asking to much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted May 28, 2019 The results yesterday for me was not important but yesterday was another kick in the teeth for speedway in the U.K.I didn't go to Poole but the track there has been a disgrace for along time also Swindon last night i have to say it looked dangerous to ride.Both club's need to address there problems otherwise even some of the diehards will drift away and never comeback on a regular basis.At Swindon the racing did improve later on and there was a couple of half decent races maybe if they could have a behind closed doors practice that would help bed the track down again.Jensen what a amazing performance he gave everything attacked the track and got his just rewards also i believe he will score useful points on some of the away tracks as well.Jensen is a rider who has been mentioned on the forum in some people's team planning i remember Gavan mentioning him as a potential Ipswich signing not going overboard but he looks a real bonus of a signing.Poole even without Kurtz look really solid Holder looked classy and all in all happy that Swindon collected a point over the two meeting's looking at it realistically Poole missed a huge trick yesterday.

Doyley not racing in heat 13 & 15 was an opportunity Poole should have taken more of an advantage of. As I said last night, I congratulate Poole on their performance & deserved to come away with some points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted May 28, 2019 On the face of it Poole really ought to have taken all four points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,615 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I think Swindon missed a trick .Zach should have been put in heat 13 and Perks in 14 .Perks had a great chance of picking up a point in 14 while Zach had none .Would have put Ellis in 15 as well .

thecoombdog 2,367 Posted May 28, 2019 I stood with my uncle last night who is a Poole fan and went to both meetings. He said the track was a disgrace in the morning and was disappointed not to have won last night as he knew it was a great opportunity with no Doyley for 2 races and the reserves pummeling us again. Don't think he would have described last night's performance as heroic!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anzum 250 Posted May 28, 2019 Not sure why Poole went for 2-4 in heat 15 stats prior to heat 15. Gate 1 Wins 4 pts 22 Gate 2 Wins 3 pts 18 Gate 3 Wins 7 pts 30 Gate 4 Wins 0 pts 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole were never once in the lead so to get the away draw was a fine performance. Edited May 28, 2019 by Skidder1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
