All the Poole fans all cocky saying the tie was over and they choked huge huge choke 

Poole specialist Douglas doesn’t win a heat and yet Poole still couldn’t win ….. Steve Worrall really has gone missing in both finals 

So so sweet 

So glad belle vue got rid of the worrals. Let down so many times in the playoffs

A bit if deserved silverware for Scunthorpe after a fine season,,hell of a performance from Lambert and not to mention Mountains effort,vital point from him

 

Fair play to Poole on yet another final,they are the team to beat constantly and deserve credit for that,

Lastly ,a good effort from the track guys down there to get the meeting on and a raceable surface

Poole won BSN Cup, finished top of league and runners up in Play off & KO Finals, not a bad record. Yes staff did well to get match on, but times 1.5 secs slower than normal and gate 4 was hopeless. Worral disappointing end to season and Lawson too many guest bookings but he's wanting to earn money and can't blame him, but looking tired on the bike. Rowe's falls didn't help him but in hindsight perhaps he shouldn't have ridden, RR would probably ahve been stronger even if he could have taken his 4 rides.

Wednesdays match, if it takes place is no more than a challenge and one match too many for some of the riders.

 

We don't know points limit yet for next season but 38 is rumoured. Lawson & 2 Cooks please and possibly Rowe & Newman.

In football terms Glasgow won the league, Scunthorpe won the fa cup and Poole won the Johnstone paints trophy.

I was surprised with the wording of a picture Scunthorpe posted on their FB page, calling themselves KOC Champions. Does that sound wrong to anyone else? I've always thought you get league champions & cup winners?

For example saying FA Cup Champions sounds odd, I'd always say FA Cup Winners.

Poor end to pooles season. Worrall v dissapointing when going got tough .

Worrall very disappointing,anyone would think the bloke was just told he’s out of a job I wonder how we would all perform if we were told that for me that makes it more understandable.

Walking down by Poole Harbour and just been stopped by a bus driver...

He has been booked to drive an open air double decker bus around the town at mid day to "celebrate a cup win or something" he tells me, but no one yet has arrived...

He wants to know if anyone is turning up, or can he go home..?
