Gemini 4,894 Posted March 19, 2016 Bee 26.........Track was in good condition, smooth and pretty slick towards the end. Not much atmosphere and a small crowd. Not really surprising. Freezing cold, Poole with a 22 point lead and a lot of people probably saving their money for Bomber's testimonial a couple of days later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Jones 2,130 Posted March 19, 2016 What was the crowd like for the first meeting and against Poole ? Crap Probably due to the senior citizens abstaining due to the large increase in their entrance costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted March 19, 2016 If someone can't afford an extra £3 then I feel sorry for them. How about planning ahead and putting that amount of money away each week during the close season? That's what I have done. Anyway, I was pleased to see all the pensioners that I know had survived the Winter and were in attendance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,125 Posted March 19, 2016 Something I hope is changed fast is the person in charge of the music. Playing "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion & "Wannabe" by spice girls. The P.A system is awful worst in the league, from where i was on the first bend could hardly hear anything that was said. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluejigger 54 Posted March 19, 2016 Steve Shovlar - brilliant Periscope production from Coventry in very trying conditions ! What a tremendous heat 15 with Hans protecting the leader. Great stuff. Hope you can do productions from other away tracks, Steve. Will be watching. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,453 Posted March 19, 2016 With all the hype about this Poole team, I would have expected them to easily beat us at home. Yes you had no Holder but we had 2 riders with bike problems all night and we aren't the strongest competition they will have on paper. Tbh Poole weren't what I thought they would be. I can not see them going all season unbeaten that's for sure. Think Belle Vue & possibly Swindon will give them a run for their money. What did you expect Poole to be? First away meeting of the season and without our number one. Three points from Holders rides. Do you think he would have scored that if fit to race? If he had scored 10 Poole would have been out of sight. I keep reading people who are not Poole fans say we will go through the season unbeaten and thats nonsense. We will loose at least once. (Humour) What must worry other clubs is that Kurtz is only going to get better but will end up at reserve more than likely to take up to secen rides if we need him. All good, though not for that nights underperformer. Swindon away next Sunday will give us a tougher test. Hopefully we will be back ti full strength.

Anyway, I was pleased to see all the pensioners that I know had survived the Winter and were in attendance. In percentage terms the £3 increase is a large jump. If it had been applied across the board there would have been uproar. Most complain about a £1 price rise. I doubt many would be stuck for the extra £3 to be honest, but some might just feel that £17 is not value for money , and so far as I can see no other track is trying that pricing policy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Garrity looks like he may have got his bikes sorted. Riding as a heatleader at no 5 against Leicester at the moment and beat their number 3, 5 and just won the TR over Leicester's number 1 &2. Scored 14pts riding at no 5 in the EL format 👍🏻 Edited March 19, 2016 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColinMills 1,728 Posted March 19, 2016 hope the doubters (and there was plenty of them) who questioned kk signing, feel a little bit happier today.. kk and harris just need that third heat leader, and they wont be that far away.......hopefully 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
