Again doing well but at also a much lower level.

This event has got to go down as the worst international event of all time. No crowd, no atmosphere,  bald track, gate and go, really really rubbishe. 

20 years ago Poole held this event and we had temporary stands, place was packed..

Really?

Official attendance for the race off in 2004 was 1100.

Imagine someone new to speedway deciding to tune into this to check out the sport? Complete borefest, empty stands, super slick track, follow my leader, terrible televised meetings can damage as well as promote the sport.

Similar to many a Monday night's TV coverage over here...

Tried to watch it but gave up after 8 heats. Very disappointing after the Denmark/Australia meeting (the other 2 teams might as well not be there)

Obvious the Polish supporters knew there was no point in wasting their money on these meetings

Beat Robert Lambert in the Polish Ekstraliga, not sure he can get to a much higher level.

20 years ago Poole held this event and we had temporary stands, place was packed, fantastic atmosphere, high drama, brilliant racing, it had it all, except for the TeamGB win. Now we have this tripe.

Interviewer has just said atmosphere is amazing. Effing bull crap.

Ben Cook.

Ben Cook a far better rider than Berge already.

Poole wasn’t packed at all for the race off as you know 

Poole brought into every conversation

And trolling again about Cook

Try discussing the event without mentioning your club which is irrelevant 

Dont see Belle Vue fans talking about Lidsey or Ipswich fans talking about Doyle …. This is a national team event Poole are irrelevant

He had a great start, but hardly scored a point since???  Berge looks like something has clicked and has done repeatedly well this year.  Will surely get an Extraleague place next year.  Would be far worse SGP wild cards given out.

I know he went through the process and won the right to be in the series but it still staggers me Kim Nilsson is a GP rider.

I agree, but he was brilliant at Glasgow.  So fair play.

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

Such a poor meeting with one decent heat so far. Berge is a third heat leader/second string in the Championship. Had a good meeting tonight but worthy of a place in the U.K? Doubt it.

Chris Holder, Poole legend, shows how it’s done. Best heat of the night by Pirates own boy.

Averaging pretty much the same as Musielak and Kurtz in Poland.

Do you think they are Championship second strings?

By your metric Basso would be a Championship reserve.

 

Sometimes your Poole-centric garbage is just embarrassing.
