Poole can only beat what’s in front of them tho so you have to take advantage of a team obliterated by Poole related injuries. which half would that be exactly? Musielak was injured before today and would have been pulled out by Rosco if they hadn't had the 'last minute' situation with Lampart. Instead they made him go out for his first ride so they could do IRR. Who else got injured? No opinion about the dangerous Swindon track then? Dangerous according to the Swindon riders incidentally?!

Who cares that it was two crap track, who cares that riders struggled, who cares that fans were mugged off at both meetings. Winning is all that matters. I just hope my club look at tonight & put it right ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted May 27, 2019 Not good enough that two meetings between two of the biggest clubs in the UK both have issues with the track surfaces and riders end up injured. The sport does itself no favours at all but some blinkered folk can’t see this and only care about winning or losing. Thank Christ speedway fans from other countries weren’t able to see these meetings today on the internet as we can their meetings. Holes in the tracks, delays, one team in team kevs and the other not.....talk about amateur hour. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 27, 2019 Speedway is a mess..... Sensational speedway at belle vue, sounds like great racing at Peterborough, decent crowds. Should all be about that. Instead it's all about 2 dodgy tracks served up again. Sums up British speedway. This is why riders dont want to ride here 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you’re happy to accept that as a fan then fair enough. As a Swindon fan I’m not & expect better & expect my club to put it right.

In Skidders eyes Poole is like the NSS. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
