Shanes is not even a good Championship reserve tbh. Szczepaniak's never been any good over here. Sundstrom is average everywhere tbh. i think you will find that james is doing ok in the championship 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James is doing ok in the championship,and sadly he lost his place with us would have improved further... Nothing is instant, except your drivel.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The H Man 252 Posted September 4, 2018 A bit late, but was away in Dorset last week, so made first visit to Poole for a league match since attending with Racers/Bulldogs in 2007! Took my 8 year old along for his first taste of speedway live. Decent crowd, 2000+ I'd say - surprised the track was as dry as it was given all the rain the previous day, things got dusty quickly and the racing wasn't great! Hosepipes (one of which had a massive leak) used after heat 10 I think from memory, to try and dampen the dust, but they took so long getting the track staff back out, that the track was a dust bowl again by heat 11. Closeness of the score rather than quality of racing kept things interesting, but overall I didn't get the urge to be back watching speedway week in week out, like I did up to 10 years ago! One thing Poole definitely miss a trick on is presentation, the announcer (Nigel?) clearly is very good, but the lack of a presenter surprises me, with that sort of crowd, Poole need to do be something to engage with them and really get an atmosphere, lots of kids there so was a great chance for a mascot to entertain the kids (something like Paul the Pirate?) would surely have got a good reaction! My nipper enjoyed Kacper Woryna pulling wheelies, but that was about it as far as something to actually get the crowd engaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The track was not prepared by our normal guy and was much more underwatered than it should have been. Hopefully tomorrow our trackman returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
