So the score is Poole 6pts from 7, Ipswich 1pts from 7. Think my maths is ok but, perhaps my understanding of speedway rules is a little lacking. I mistakenly thought we had scored 4 at Ipswich.

Skidder1 7,632 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) A good meeting to watch between 2 sides with good credentials this season. Some great racing, no falls and each side having one engine malfunction retirement - Josh and Heeps - so honours pretty much even except for the points. I just wish both teams had a full 1-7. What I don't understand is Hawkins now blaming referee decisions as the reason Ippo didn't get more than one away point?! The meeting ran smoothly, the ref only had to make a couple of decisions - once for King getting a huge roller and once for Pieszczek hitting the tapes. Very strange comments. I note Mr Louis is keeping quiet after his 'one loss doesn't make a season' comments last week. What is it now 3 losses on the bounce?! Good to hear that Richie Worrall has had the cast off and the clips taken out of his ankle. The surgeon reckoned 6 weeks after the op, so Richie is targetting the British Final on 29th as a possible return!! He is currently getting some salt water rehab down in Portugal I believe.

Looks like we will have to cope with r/r until Richie comes back but we have coped very well up to now. I like Richie and if he comes back riding like we know he can we will be fine. I was a bit surprised we didn't keep NBJ and get Wells as a temporary replacement for Richie though. if we had done that it would have kept our options open.

We can't get him to replace Richie, his average is too high, he only guested because of the 5% rule. Edited July 19, 2019 by foreverblue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
