Doyley would have not have been riding flat out to pass Klindt if the track was bad. Bumpy in places yes but definitely not a boring meeting at all. I thought it was a good watch and I love a good Poole bash as much as the next person! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klindt definitely moved which prompted Doyles movement, at the very least both riders should have been warned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole still favourites imo, but not much in it. Edited August 20, 2019 by noggin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted August 20, 2019 I watched it today and thought it was an entertaining meeting. Not much passing after the first two bends but close racing and the close score made it enjoyable to watch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As it's reasonably quiet I think we all know the track was alright!! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigACE 91 Posted August 20, 2019 Watched the recording. It was very entertaining. They have sorted their track out a lot. Doyley was his usual self. But i am coming to the conclusion that no matter what, Poole are going to be the team to beat if you want to win something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good evening and some good racing and chuffed to see Poole get there track back to what there supporters deserve.A good benchmark to see where the Budgies are at we are getting there but the play/offs are a different ballgame.

Skidder the Poole track is getting there and that is great to see, some real close racing out there on Monday night.I am no expert on tracks and you would know more about it than me but to get a track perfect is near impossible to do these days ( i.e. the weather hinders that).Swindon apart from Peterborough at home has been decent all year but you know there is an element of a chance that one week it might go back to square one that is how hard the job is.As for tonight i feel Swindon dont really have a real home advantage and your lads could take advantage of that be interesting to see if Brady really attacks turn 2 like Doyley has been doing lately. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted August 22, 2019 Good meeting much improved track could say if we hadn't imploded mid meeting we 'should' had won but I won't i don't want to sound like LCG! Poole much more solid on the night was a great contest between two differently out together sides but equally effective in there own way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
