I have a lot of friends who are big sports fans but think only one of them is actually looking forward to watching it. I love sport myself and watch many sports but rugby isn’t one of them. Tried to watch a match with England recently when a player got sent off for accidentally clashing heads with an opposition player. A nonsense call, as are so many of the rules in that sport. Hard to watch and even if it didnt clash with the speedway I wouldn’t watch it. I know it has a following and some like it but it doesn’t have a decent following compared to the footy. If I as given free tickets for Twickenham I wouldn’t go. But that’s just me. Rather watch footy, cricket, speedway. Same goes for American Football. Attended a match once at Wembley New England v Tampa Bay. Was boring and nearly left at half time. Don't watch American Football personally but I like Rugby and the world cup has been good and now we are at the quarter final stage so getting more exciting. They are trying to stop the head clashes which is good but go too far sometimes. Anyway the meeting could affect the crowd but hopefully not too much. Rain maybe the winner wednesday looking at the forecast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewy 2,327 Posted October 15, 2023 Funny, never heard a whisper from Shovlar when Glasgow were giving them a tanking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) The advantage of gate 4 is a joke. Some great racing but gate 4 is two bikes up into the first bend most of the time. And finally in heat 13 Worrall breaks the run. Cracking heat though! Edited October 15, 2023 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) 47-43 take that all day long! Well done boys! Feel more than confident. Unusual fact. Not a single 5-1 either way in the whole meeting. Edited October 15, 2023 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,050 Posted October 15, 2023 Shovlar commenting all through a meet when Poole aren’t being beat lol comical What is up with this Poole side absolutely so off form Lawson and Worrall again pretty average Poole won by 10 last time and this time with the advantage of r/r ( Cook can ride where’s last time reserves only ) and they lose by 4 that’s a big swing Something clearly not right with the Pirates to lose a meeting they clearly should have won …. I’d expect them to win the cup as can’t see Douglas and Kemp getting 30 again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we do need to start meetings better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"So off form" "Drop in form" Which is it? Losing by 4 against a team good enough to get to a knockout cup final is hardly shameful. Dear me, if you're going to try to wind people up then at least have some wit. Edited October 15, 2023 by RogerM22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
