One of them would normally have doubled that score on their own. Swindon though can only beat what they had before them. Proctor was awful though. Guess we need someone like Harris when we take on Poole. Track looked the slickest I've seen it in a while. Probably not to our boys liking. But there was some good racing, Lambert and Ellis in particular. Could have done with that Ellis in the final last year. I don't like losing, but if you are going to lose one I'm glad it's to Swindon so they have the chance to top the league. Now all we have to do is stop Poole from beating us. Nice and grippy for that one Buster Yeah we could've done with that Ellis last year, I'm glad his form still rankles with someone else, will never forgive him and his Poole connections!

Since then, his treatment to the riders and the fans have been of utter contempt. And as you know Mr Webb I have greatly reduced my visits to Saddlebow Road this season and it will take a lot to tempt me back. Consistently better racing being number one, on a track where those riders that still want to "have a go" can. Whatever Buster might think of his rise in status - to eminence - it has distanced him, seemingly by choice from even many die hard supporters like us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see it being very good on Thursday, but would like to see the fans turn out in a high a numbers as possible, to cheer the team on for one last time this season. Well apart from the meeting at Poole in the Mickey Mouse Cup that has still got be staged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted September 17, 2019 I went to halfway, blimey the racing seems rather slow but I like the idea of someone hanging off the back of the stock car, dodgems style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Poole v KL Supporters Cup meeting will be Poole's end-of-season fixture in October , so expect some sort of incentives for people to attend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the amount of decent races in an average meeting - a fiver is still a bit steep ( at £1 a race ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I maybe totally and utterly wrong but he's got a big Poole based sponsor hasn't he? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
