He was only sent out for one race when it was decided in advance that he would lay the bike down and withdraw from the meeting so that Swindon could use IRR, otherwise they wouldn't have a facility for him!!! It was the talk of the pits before the start!! Fact not opinion! Come on, even you must realise that's silly comment to make. He did not lay the bike down. We've all seen the crash & no rider in their right mind would purposely catapult themselves into an air fence unless you also think Doyle did the same? Seen the crash & exactly the same as Tobi's.

Add to that the fact that we could have had a facility for him anyway (contrary to what has been posted here). We could have used Jensen with R/R for Tobi as we did in the evening meeting. I'm not disputing that Tobi was a bit battered and bruised from previous knocks (one on Sunday included) even before the meeting at Poole, but there was no pre-conceived plan to do a lap and pull out. There would be absolutely no point and no gain. And I'm sure the flight to UK and home again was just for fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was the talk of the pits before the start!! Fact not opinion! You are not the full set. You did see the part where Tobias was catapulted into the fence, you know when he went over the handle bars? That is some laying down of a bike, quite spectacular actually. With respect to you, it's people like yourself and Steve who create the anger that surrounds Poole on these boards. You have a circuit that is dangerous, as pointed out by a very recent world champion, has it ever occurred to you that what you are defending is indefensible? That actually, the Poole track has a very clear and present issue, one that could cause serious injury? Why not just be normal for a day, and throw your hands up to it? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 28, 2019 Me thinks Swindon fans are trying to deflect from an abject day when they were expected to take 7 points. Last night I was more than happy to come away from Swindon with 2 points. A draw was never predicted and without our main man either. A great result for Poole. Sure Swindon lost ~doyle due to the Swindon track but it’s not our fault. I don’t believe a single Pirates fan left Blunsdon disappointed with the result. Next up Peterborough and hopefully another 3 points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted May 28, 2019 No Swindon fan expected 7 points - it was you saying that. It was a bad day for Swindon but not because they were the worst of the two sides but because the two tracks were poor and we picked up more injuries than Poole!

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 28, 2019 Lampart injury nothing to do with Poole. Rosco has said on record Musielak was injured before Poole and was only going to take one ride. He couldn’t hold onto his bike. Doyle got injured at Swindon. Of course Swindon would have won had Doyle not got injured. But not Pooles fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s even said that they wanted it off after heat 7 but raced, sorry rode on for the paying public, I’ve seen it & it’s not “over riding” either. He was clear of the Poole boys. We were always up against it with only 5 riders at Poole (well 4) & the same at home. Poole can only beat/take points from what’s put in front of them but at least see it for what it was.

To be happy with 2 when it should have been 4 is perhaps testament that Poole’s expectations are now much lower than in previous years? I also note your suggestion that Tobi was unfit. Is there something your not telling us Dr Skidder? Given his obvious injury I will grant you there is nothing more satisfying than flinging yourself headlong in to a fence hoping you don’t break something just to prove the Poole management wrong. Well done Tobi, that showed them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only person on the whole forum who said Swindon would take 7 points is you.........most people expected Poole to win the home meeting and Swindon win in the evening You are a seriously weird person who gets kicks out of coming on a forum and winding people up.........obviously there cant be a Mrs Shovlar 1 hour ago, Steve0 said: No Swindon fan expected 7 points - it was you saying that.

Well done Tobi, that showed them... Expectations are much lower these days it seems If Ipswich went to Swindon and our reserves battered their reserves and they were missing a top rider and lost Doyle after 3 rides i would consider it points lost Seems Poole fans will take anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has got a lot better the last few months of last season, so all this it's been bad for ages is a load of rubbish. It always seems to be bad at start of the season, not sure what they do to it in the winter! May be they need to talk to stadium manager to keep on top of it.

Wind it in boys, yeah??! oh dear cage rattled Think its pretty darn obvious that both tracks were bad dont think you had to be there to know that Even the Swindon riders are saying the Swindon track was awful...........the Poole boys just dont say anything..pleased they got the majority of the points The difference is that the Poole track has been garbage for a long time and its now got to the point where it is dangerous. Swindon is a new track and has teething problems.....but i would bet which track will be sorted out first. What you need to realise is that people get the annoyance with the same band of Poole dunces who claim everything is fine Many many Swindon fans are annoyed and have been condemning the state of the Swindon track...........they are speedway fans you see and they understand the bigger picture When you have downright trolls and fools trying to tell everyone Pooles track is fine then thats when you get the uprising on here Unfortunately Shovlar thinks its funny to troll........its his sad little life and his choice We then get people saying Musielek 'laid it down'............headlong into the fence hardly laying it down Swindon riders 'overriding' Absolute garbage comments from supposed adults Poole have their of decent fans] Unfortunately you have 4 or 5 (more than any other club) that just drag the name down on here You seem keen to jump on any defensive bandwagon going Swindon should have done what Doyle wanted and pulled out at heat 7 then maybe Poole would have got the repercussion they deserved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
