Cook rode well and looked fast all night but so did Holder and Klindt. Harris was either very quick or very slow, not helped by obvious machine issues (which I hope he hasn't fixed by Monday!). Not sure what referee Ronnie Allen was on?? All everyone wants is a bit of consistency with decision! referees and consistency are not two words that usually appear in the same sentence!! And there are plenty of more inconsistent ones than Ronnie Allen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s a bit strong emotion. However I thought this event was of mega importance to Poole fans where they get a chance to line his pockets, ooops I meant pay tribute to the man who has filled the programme in with Matts chequebook behind him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Middlo is a legend at Poole, as was his father so he deserves a big turnout as does anyone who has been at his local club for as long as he has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalan 717 Posted September 13, 2019 Thought Neil's testimonial was next year? Mind I don't always take much notice, I have to look up score when I get home! Also Craig Cook was the referees rider of the night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the paying punter it sucks and really is a kick in the teeth for British speedway. Fair play to young Chad he looked eager to please and gave it his all but the whole episode just puts a dark cloud over proceedings. I like my team to win but this spoilt what could have been an entertaining meeting. Oh well onto monday Nothing about Lambert’s absence in the meeting preview and apart from saying he was absent, nothing in the match report either as to why he was missing, the fact that Lynn used a junior at no 1 says it was clearly an absence for which they were unwilling to use a proper facility which of course would mean Lambert would then collect a ban. The fact the club fails to fully explain it is one of the main reasons why the sport finds itself in such a mess and one of the main reasons it struggles to attract any real media coverage and a younger audience. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a pity it took them so long to sort it. They have not got rid of the bumps, the smooth line was out wide on at least the 1st/2nd bend ...... Manchester United indeed LOL LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 13, 2019 Poole track is ok now. Not dead flat smooth but good enough. Speedway isn’t raced on tarmac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
