I do believe it, I’ve been there, I have prepped a couple of tracks over the years and have been in enough meetings to know how riders moan, the riders are the first to moan about the tyres not up to the job but you put dirt and water down which would help the tyres and they moan cause the engines which “they” choose don’t like it, this is why the dictatorship that is riders running the sport for the riders needs to stop

It is the same for both teams though, surely the away side should have got their set ups right after a couple of rides but it was the end of the meeting where we really put them to the sword. The scale of the win is due to Poole being a much better team. I do agree more water should be used to keep the dust down for the spectators.

Sunday’s matches line-ups 3rd/4th place 1st leg Leszno v Lublin start time 4pm UK time Leszno 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Lublin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Grand final 1st leg Torun v Wroclaw start time 6.30pm UK time Torun 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Wroclaw 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

It’s the scale of the wins, not the pure fact of winning. Surely more fans would prefer to see a 40-38 than a 60-18?!?

Another of Speedway's problems its like charging you the price for a quality beef burger but when the product turns up you find you have been served a spam fritter.

Dean you wouldn't believe the hassle the track staff have when they want to put water down. Lot's of moaning from the riders, which I find odd as same riders usually ride really well after track grades.

Article says October 2028 and will be the final GP of that season. Also says Warsaw, Wroclaw and Torun are the Polish rounds for 2027.

what a complete embarrassment last night was, Poole took track prep and maintenance to a whole new level, seen some rubbish shows in and around speedway over the years but that was an all time low.

That's what I was thinking. Throw in a junior meeting at sidewinders the night before and the possibility of action at Mildura on the Sunday after the GP. What's not to like.

Slater is very impressive IMo.Certainly has the bike handling skills and track craft.

Charles Wright has to get back from Gorzow on Friday evening too...

According to Luke Killeen's Vlog most riders are on a minimum three point guarantee...

I’m sick of dusty tracks, it’s not just Poole it seems to be everywhere in current speedway and ultimately it makes for crap racing, put some god damn water down and if the riders moan tell them to sod off and do something else, it seems no consideration is given to fans getting covered in dust these days, Poole attendance levels are maintained by their winning ethos but for a play off meeting I thought that crowd was poor

Really great to see Lawson back to his usual self, bodes well for the remaining meetings. Slater is getting better by the heat, Zac is a handful for anyone, Lewis was sluggish to start yes but got it sorted, Kyle is more than was expected, Will had issues sure but can still win heats, Rushen is pulling his weight too. None of the opposition will be taking anything for granted The knee jerk track criticism that inevitably follows any Pirates home win is just background noise, and the querying of why Pirate's fan's enjoy watching their team win is......kinda puzzling?

I think you've answered your own question there.

That meeting tonight was as entertaining as anything I have seen at Armadale this season.

Jody Scott in British U19 at Plymouth and Jake Mulford named in the team GB Longtrack of Nations squad on Sunday, so reckon thats2Bears down🤷‍♂️

They are doing something right.Good Management.

What’s your professional view on this, Dean? Having never ridden speedway, my perspective is; Poole build strong sides that have the ability to entertain, so why are their home meetings absolute brain damage in terms of quality speedway? Is this accurate, or am I missing something? That was a complete waste of money tonight.
