Can't see Kent in CL without Scott and I'm sure he could still name his price in 2022 for any CL team he can fit his TV work around. Poole look sure to be in play offs provided they finish the season. Decent streaming Track was certainly not bumpy. Nice and smooth. New track men’s from Somerset have taken out the bumps.

Kent not really at the races despite Nicholls and Starke providing the highlights in terms of passing. Yes, this time they had score captions which was a lot better!

Technik 491 Posted July 1, 2021 Kent bar Scott Nicholls were second best all night. Nicholls for me took rider of the night he beat & passed most of the Pirates on a night where he was ploughing a lone furrow. I spoke to the lads doing the live stream & they said they had excellent co-operation with the Referee for all the changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant to watch. Beyond him, only Paul Starke offered any kind of resistance. Really pleased for Danyon Hume. No other League racing for him. Looks very quick and fully deserved his rider of the night from Wessex Marine. You can only beat whats in front of you, but I cant say it was particularly exciting. I have been a supporter of Danyon from day one Bob and overall his speedway career has been a chequered one.Had a great start at Ipswich then had that bad injury ironically at Poole came back and was superb for Birmingham.For Leicester he was outstanding yet lesser riders were getting chances at Championship level mainly because of his average from Ipswich.Really hope he keeps his form going he certainly entertains is his average to high..? to go NL as well as that might help his match race fitness.To be doing as well as he is by riding only one league is very encouraging you at Poole seem to have an exciting seven with plenty of improvement to come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was much hyped, especially by Dick Barrie, but it was a lot to expect a 27 year old (now 28?) to be able to mix it in what is a competitive league. 14 points from 19 rides shows how much he has struggled. But, will Garry May work his magic on him at Plymouth and will Zane come back to bite Poole on the backside in the second leg of the KO cup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole look sure to be in play offs provided they finish the season. Decent streaming How do you know what Scott thinks about the Poole track? Hes never complained about it before. No reason to moan about last night either. He always rides our place well, last night he was superb. Never gives less than 100% .A few of our younger Brits would do well to use Scott as a role model in commitment and attitude. I didnt notice the 'bumpy' track. When the riders were interviewed after Ht15, they all said the track was good. Shame we have parted ways with Zane, He was riding in the notoriously difficult No2.I thought he was making steady progress. A spell at reserve might just have helped him. I suppose thats what this is all about. Poole want to keep Cook and Hume at reserve for as long as possible and we do have points to play with. I am a big fan of Danyon. Loved watching him at NL level and I was delighted when we signed him. Beginning to sort himself out at Poole. Looking very fast and determined. So pleased for him. Both Danyon and Steve Worrall have quickly become my 2021 favourites. Steve is so classy on a bike. I do wonder if he hadnt broken his leg when he did, just how much better he would be. Then I suppose, we may not have him at Poole. I think this Poole team are settling in well and getting better with each meeting. Eastbourne, Glasgow, Leicester and Poole are my top four. Write us off at your peril. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted July 1, 2021 I know there was a live stream for this match - is it possible to purchase and view this afterwards or will there be a DVD of the meeting at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't remember how long for but you can view it after it's shown. Maybe like 7-14 days..? Something like that! Edit - it's actually up to 30 days after and as many times as you like!

Maybe Poole released him for other reasons than just his track performance? Matt Ford's statement about not wanting him as a club asset speaks volumes imo!! And theres me thinking Robert Lambert was the 'ruthless' one??! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waco 1,026 Posted July 1, 2021 Kent are very short on heat leaders at the moment with Heeps still struggling with a shoulder injury,,and Starke while consistant is not winning races as a heat leader should..this with rider replacement for the retired Bacon and Hurry unable to score points,,all this plus ,replacement riders very thin on the ground suggests that unfortunatly the Kings .are going to find things very difficult unless things change,,.. and the sooner the better in my opinion.............
