Bowes would not be end of the World though as ultimately last season was his first in UK so maybe with the right attitude there may be more to come.  Quote from a Poole fan before bowes signing was officially announced 

I dont think they do hope to take the sport forward thats the problem. 

What Neila making things up so he can have another go at Poole how surprising!!

Cracking evening.  Decent crowd considering the forecast - although would have been bigger had more Poole fans made the trip. Lot less Pirates' fans tonight than Coventry brought a fortnight ago.  Track prepared for rain that didn't come, but still favoured those who attacked it. such as Mitch McDiarmid. What a performance from Dayle Wood - masterclass in gating and also lovely team-riding in Heat 8 to ensure the 5-1. 

Sedgeman is a track specialist, he certainly didnt show it tonight though. 

As someone who was there, I would say the track was dire, I assume track wasnt watered due to possibility of  rain so it was very dusty and passing was almost impossible. They did go round with the water truck once but it was still very dusty. Riss was a big miss for Oxford but our riders were very poor early on, most surprising was Lawson. If Bowes rides like that again he deserves to go,awful from him. In the end we did well to score 39.
