Kester 3,028 Posted October 7, 2013 Fair play to Poole. Hancock's dream of winning a league title looks a huge possibility now. Yeah, he's been lying awake over this one for years. Winning the world title twice will seem insignificant compared to scaling the heights of the EL. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted October 7, 2013 Birmingham need to take a gamble in the 2nd leg. Make a mess of the track, Flood it. ... I remember once Leszno did this and they pulled out a crazy performance to beat Torun who had the much better riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole Quay 7 616 Posted October 7, 2013 Full credit to Matt Ford who kept a cool head and didn't throw in the towel when many other promoters would have given up and written the season off. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember once Leszno did this and they pulled out a crazy performance to beat Torun who had the much better riders. Good thinking, maybe also put in a few tricky chicanes, that'll catch them out. Also, don't turn on the lights and get our guys to practise blindfolded all week. Then cover the Brummies side of the pits in lucky heather and get some sort of witch to cast a spell over the Poole side, nothing too serious you understand, just so that Poole riders feel like they really need the loo every time they come to the tapes. Then get Paul McKenna to do some really good hypnotherapy-type stuff on the Brummies riders so they feel great. Finally, air-drop some 2009 calenders on Wimbourne Road so they think they're bottom of the league and have no chance anyway. This ties not over yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike1944 151 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I would have preferred to see a tighter meeting to make it more exciting next week, the lead is so great I cannot see Birmingham pulling this back in any way. It is very lucky that there were not some serious injuries tonight, the track was in a dreadful condition with some deep ruts that caught many riders out some coming to grief. Even Wardy was caught out by one. Edited October 7, 2013 by mike1944 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonimac 92 Posted October 7, 2013 Brum beaten fair and square. So many of their normally solid lineup did not perform, which is a shame for the 2nd leg. Two consecutive black and white helmets early in the meeting summed up their resistance. Shame Harris seemed to fade just as Doyle got going, and Smolinski gave the poorest No1 performance I've seen this season. But hats off to Ward, Hancock and Grajczonek who were outstanding. what summed it up for me - Janowski had a relatively poor night, but had he been with Brum, he would have been top scorer with Doyle (who gained 6 points from Heat 8) One hook on the cup I reckon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
