GiveusaB 1,133 Posted June 14, 2022 Just had a quick scroll through this thread and noticed that there's no comment from Poole's No.1 loyal fan (Turnip) whom previously announced that he supports Poole because they win trophies ? I wonder if he'll be seen at Beaumont Park on a Saturday evening from now on .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 14, 2022 So why on earth has “Turnip” been banned? His humour might be a bit strange but he was never rude or aggressive. People complained to mods as they didn’t like his jokes? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Hunter 370 Posted June 15, 2022 I don't suppose this will be any consolation to Poole fans but I think the last time a Leicester team won at Poole was on 3rd October 1973 when they won 40.38. Ray Wilson top scored with 14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Wilson top scored with 14. This got me puzzled because I thought my memory was playing tricks, but I was certain I was there in the 80's when Lions beat Poole. On holiday at the time in what was the old Leicester holiday fortnight. So I checked & the memory wasn't playing tricks 7th July 1982, Poole 38 Leicester 40. Wasn't a last heat decider though Poole got a 5-1 in heat 13 to narrow the scoreline. Neil Collins top -scored with 11 , brother Les 10, Lions were using R/R for Colin Cook & lost Steve Regeling after 2 races, so effectively won with 5 riders.

Happy Hunter 370 Posted June 15, 2022 I'm jealous really. I had to wait from 1949 until 2019 for a Leicester team to win anything meaningful! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
