Seen a few meetings over the years where a deeper gripper rougher track would be what's needed, and everytime a Bald slick gate and go is what ya get, it's as common as an Ipswich implosion. I don't know who does your track. But after last night I would of got Buster in this morning if he would. With rider practice around mid day tomorrow.

We need to hit them hard early but the problem is Poole have riders like Kurtz , Klindt and Holder who ride Foxhall better than they do Poole...add in Covatti and then its clear why Poole are hot favourites THJ is poor at our place but Wells isnt so that evens out People having a pop at Iversen forget he cant stand Poole and neither can Heeps At the end of the day we have had a good season just a shame we couldnt beat the title favourites when we had a chance Poole will win the second leg as well So did Ipswich choke last night? Or did they choke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heeps was publicly giving it large before the meeting, but apart from being gifted a point or so, he hasn't really performed since he came out of reserve. 'Poole have riders like Kurtz, Klindt and Holder', but Kurtz always 'goes missing' in the later heats according to you but 'still rides Foxhole better than Poole'?! Everyone of your posts involving Poole always has a positive and negative argument, so you can always come back and say you got it right. Very repetitive as usual. Think you need to have a look at Heeps scores since he moved out of the reserve berth because you make yourself look daft At home 5+2 (4) 11 (4) 9 (4) 4+1 (4) when riding injured 5+2 (4) 9 +2 (4) His away scores at Poole, Wolves and Swindon were poor but at home he is a match winner. Kurtz has previous for going missing but does like our track Please say where i will come back and say i got it right...........i think Poole will win at our place and comfortably win on aggregate.........so if Ipswich do somehow get through i will be wrong in my opinion....... Again tell me where my argument is positive and negative............. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you lead by 12 and lose by 10 I would call that a choke wouldn't you! If you don't think that then it just means your bias against Poole clouds your judgement.

BobC 664 Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) So funny reading this thread. When Ipswich were mauling Poole,it was a great meeting,yet largely gate n go. Poole start winning races and suddenly its poor meeting with all the gate n go! Me thinks a few folk starting gloating a little prematurely!

auntie doris 2,342 Posted September 27, 2019 Can only hope for a southwest final between these top 2. Swindon and Poole never know when they're beaten...would be a great final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noggin 1,390 Posted September 27, 2019 I don't like the use of the word choke as it disrespects the opponent, however on this occasion it seems apt. As a neutral it looked like the Witches thought the job was done with 5 heats to go, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,781 Posted September 27, 2019 I don’t think they got complacent, they just failed to adapt to the changing conditions and lost the ability to gate. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again for balance Poole choked it in the first half, otherwise how do you explain that massive advantage Ipswich enjoyed ? Do you think the occasion got to Poole Forever ?
