Jaizer 2,879 Posted November 5, 2022 Congratulations to the pie rats. Hit form at the right time in the season by the end pretty far ahead of the other teams. Farce or not the best team probably won Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All down to the limit now, let’s hope it’s 40 or 41. Top 3?! I'd be surprised if other promoters let us do that again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has had a couple of paid wins at Poole though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur54 1,319 Posted November 5, 2022 4 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: A long day for travelling Poole fans who made the arduous journey to Kings Lynn yesterday, but worth every mile. An early start to the meeting and few delays after heat one meant we were able to celebrate and leave the stadium a little after 9pm, meaning I was back at home in Poole by 1am. What was surprising was the similar size to the Leicester and Poole fans in attendance, considering the distances having to travel. Only about 5-600 there with the difference being made up by the local supporters. A real shame but not unexpected that the crowd was so low. But a special mention to Buster who laid on a proper racetrack that gave the riders the opportunity to race and pass. Best I have ever seen it and harks back to the racing of the 80’s videos on YouTube. Would Leicester have won the title if the meeting taken place at their home track? I don’t think so. Perhaps I am bound to say that but the Poole team would simply not be denied last night. There was utter determination from the Poole riders and after about heat 7 the Leicester riders heads dropped. Special mention for Richard Lawson who shared his knowledge of the track with setups and on the track walk pointing out all the racing lines. As for the Cooks, both on their first visit, astounding to be honest. Ben Cooks double pass of Dan Thompson and home track rider Richie Worrall in heat 6 was quite incredible, then repeated in heat 8 and 15. And let’s not forget Middlo, who showed why he is the best in the business. Another title to add to the many. Top bloke as well. I think next season Poole will retain two of the three heat leaders with Ben Cook coming in as third heat leader and Zack as second string. With Trackrat and you having the same profile picture, i wonder if he will change it to your new one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King, Worrall, Lawson, Ben & Zach, Complin and Ablitt? pooles total team ave is just over 43.03 and with team ave being 40 next year could drop a 5 pointer and get another 2 pointer but would the same top 5 be enough to carry 2@2pointers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would not want that much pressure on two 2 pointers. Bit unfair really. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cast1rn 467 Posted November 5, 2022 No Team will take two 2 pointers, that’s 8 heats of potential 0’s you’re looking at. Poole managed to carry one with three 0’s per meeting and making the points up with their number 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
