No - Poole riders were just crap out of the gate. Were crap round the first bend, then the second, third and fourth for four laps. Just because opposition was dire doesn’t make the track a gate and go track. You could see it in their faces as they came off from track walk. “This track has got shale on it, not used to that, there are no holes in track, the starts are deep and we are f...k’d “ and yes they were so right.

Well if they didn't try as you keep referring to,maybe the riders should club together and pay some of the fans that made the long journey a bit of compensation for their wasted journey.

Lakeside are listed as away to Edinburgh on Friday 7th Sept then then at home to Glasgow on Friday 14th Sept. My understanding is they wanted to race Peterborough in the League tomorrow but Peterborough can’t put a full team out. The outstanding meetings in the League, K.O. Cup and Shield are against Peterborough, Peterborough, and ...er... Peterborough. What a mess. Well done Rob Godfrey, on behalf of the the BSPA , you have collected the £50,000 bond from Rye House for pulling out (being forced out) of the PL , now stand to collect a fine from Lakeside, and possibly Workington, for not completing their fixtures, alienated even more fans, in a sport that can’t afford to lose a single one, and helped with the plan to reduce the number of tracks in 2018, so there can be one big league.

I don't understand why people don't let the Chris Holder issue drop after all this time. None of us really know what happened that night, we can all assume, but we don't know, as there's usually two sides to every argument. What's done is done and can't be changed. As a person, Mr Holder would seem to be a man with a kind heart, when you think back on how he put his life on hold at the time of the tragic Darcy Ward accident, and he doesn't deserve this continuing criticism in my opinion, irrespective of whether he was the instigator of the troubles last year or not. There are so many nasty and evil things going on in this world to worry about. without something as petty as this continuing grudge, life is to short. I'll probably get a lot of negative comments thrown back at me now, but I shan't respond. I'm entitled to my opinion as we all are, but once stated, it's over and done with.

Speedway Heaven.... A Poole Thrashing :D

I was there last time when we took the win over Edinburgh but tomorrow is a total different ball game. Edinburgh have strengthened since then and are nigh on unbeatable at the one of the most home advantage tracks in the league. Would be a dream to take a point but a tough place to go ..Dig deep boys, stay safe and the very best of luck we carry on fighting for a play-off place

Why the exclamation mark when you've asked a question?

The only thing that mattered last night was that the Stars won. The grippy track was prepared as expected. I have no doubts the Pirates came with all good intentions, but when they found themselves trailing early on, their enthusiasm soon disappeared. I enjoyed the experience, if only from the point that it will shut those loud mouth fans up, that we are forever hearing. We except sometimes these scores happen and they are not a true reflection of the teams strength, but all we have heard form certain Poole supporters is about the how much better they are because they thrashed us early on. Last night really levelled up them arguments.,, But saying that , the Stars really did ride will. Onwards and upwards we continue...………..

Let us be a realist here. Whoever tops the group will pick Belle Vue who have sadly been weakened with Dan Bewley out.

You seem to spend a lot of time on here about this meeting considering you think it was a nothing meeting.This result has obviously hurt a bit. That's what's wrong with the sport.League winners deserve some kind of recognition for finishing top imo.Try explaining to someone who don't go to speedway you race a whole league campaign and if you finish top you don't automatically win the league.Some would think it's crazy.

A couple of weeks ago, all we got from Poole fans was " We're top of the League", now all of a sudden after a complete thrashing they never wanted to win the league anyway!!!

Disgraceful move from Garrity on kemp - so unnecessary to squeeze him the point of riding into him on the back straight - to be honest he was an idiot all night, I’d imagine Mason Campton will be saying to Scunthorpe I ain’t guesting for you again if I’m paired with him! Supposed to be teammates on the night and Garrity trying to knock him off every race!! i think Gino has ensured tonight he won’t be seen in a witches race suit again anytime soon! fairplay to Garcia rode superbly, and well done to drew looked good all night great move in ht2 and was in the mix in his last one before Garrity rode into him.

It isn't anything to' believe'. It's simply a fact. Even Starman can't stoop to these levels.

If by that you mean one combined league all I can add is 'Hallelujah' !

Don't think the riding order would make much difference to Berwick at Armadale,NJB was poor there in the cup match.Would not be expecting anything from this match

Brady keeps making excuses for his poor performances, in the paper he said he had only had one poor week! We should all get off his back and he is only 21. How old is Robert Lambert? Has Robert Lambert's form dipped? Too much racing and too much travelling are poor excuses, Kurtz will never make a gp rider because he is too inconsistent.

Reported

Yes but taking last night as the 'return' fixture that would give Poole the edge on aggregate.

No. It won’t. It will be less than recent weeks due to the holidays being over but far from the smallest attendance. Why on earth are you so negative all the time? Very strange.

A very good crowd saw a mediocre meeting due to Poole being so poor. KL will top the league and pick Belle Vue. Kings Lynn look solid throughout and a special mention to Simon Lambert tonight who has taken some criticism in the past. Do not believe we saw the real Poole tonight but Brady is not a big scoring number 1. Well done Stars.

Shovlar is not good for Poole or there fans comes across as believing he is there spokesman which does the club no favours.A great win by Lynn last night and i was thinking how many of the modern day riders of today would of struggled with wet deep grippy tracks in yesteryear.?

Despite the scoreline this was a pretty decent meeting with plenty of passing, no re-runs and no fallers! JD and Jack may have maxed out but it wasn't easy as Doyley came from the back at least twice and i reckon you will see Jack's stunning chase and pass on Kyle in heat 13 on Speedway GB website very soon! Both Rebels had so much speed to pass as they wanted/needed, inside or outside. All the Rebels were solid with the three guests putting in a good shift. NBJ sussed the track quickly on what is possibly his first visit there and Todd was very good all night. Adam started well but think had a bike issue in heat 14. Nico and Aaron had solid if not spectacular nights and were both well on the pace. For Wolves Thorsell was awful for first two races but got better and had some good tussles with Doyley. Howarth tried his heart out for not much reward, Andersen was poor but might have had bike problems too. Masters for a former Somerset rider wasn't as good as i had expected him to be. Morris looked good when he gated and Sarjeant had a good ride as well. Only 3 points coming from Rory's R/R was the downfall.

R/R for Shanes is an absolute joke 1 the meeting is on Saturday 2 Practice is on Saturday at 14.30pm local 3 meeting starts at 20.15pm local 4 Morizes is 44 miles only from Bordeaux airport 5 It is against the rules that any facility is given apart from race day- i quote " k) is on FIM Longtrack Championship duty (for the day of the Meeting only; no facility is permitted for practice day)" It is somewhat ironic that they are racing Scunthorpe who have history in being allowed illegal guests for riders doing longtrack. Edit 6.55am Birmingham arr 10.00 am bordeaux Flybe Saturday 1st September

World long track team cup ? Another really important fixture then that takes priority over league fixtures in England !!!

Brady's starting average was 8.08 so not far out.

Daugavpils v Lublin starts at 5pm so it`s 2 windows open at once at 6pm !!

Cold, windy wet and not easy to understand what the locals are saying? Yes that just about sums up folk SOUTH of the Border (But luckily not speedway fans)

When you look at the meetings between the two sides this season +24 points to Poole in the a fixtures and +8 to Poole in the b fixtures I am not sure the stars would pick pirates in the semi finals

Another pointless thread.

KL are struggling to get all their meetings done so we can only hope they might be able to squeeze in the KOC before the end of the season.

I can't imagine many Poole fans were there because like me I expect they thought it wasn't a meeting that would change anything and also a threat of rain which didn't materialise. Kings Lynn on the other hand needed the win if they were to have ambitions of getting top spot and were obviously up for it which is why they got four 5-1's in the first 5 heats. well done to them they got what they deserved and Poole got what we deserved.

Wood is Kent bound next season I reckon.

A massive thanks must go to the promotion, I bet this week has been an absolute nightmare agreeing fixtures before the cut-off !! Praying for fine weather and plenty of support to cheer these boys onto the play-offs, we still hanging on in there.. Come on boys we can do this !!!

Cos he's being condescending...

Well at least you didn’t finish that sentence with a question mark. You give an opinion that it will be the smallest attendence of the season. No idea why you think that. If you believe a meeting on BT will keep hundreds away I believe you are very wrong. There’s my opinion.

It's an opinion which you don't quite get I'm sure you would be more suited going to football matches with your aggressive attitude

If its true that Poole were not trying last night then that is VERY UNFAIR to the paying public and all the riders and management should be heavily fined or even kicked out of the play-offs. Having said that I don't think it's true and they were well and truly beaten by a better team

It's clear to me that Swindon have deliberately lost 10 away meetings in a row knowing that Somerset will be desperate to race against us in the play offs meaning they will beat Belle Vue away on Wednesday. The deliberate 10 away defeats also means a huge crowd for the home meeting with BV. Absolute masterstroke by the management to plot it so it all goes down to the last week.

Turns out the Lynn game plan worked perfectly for this meeting. Didn’t bother putting the effort in on the motocross track as we knew we were always going to finish above Poole. Led them into a false sense of security and then smashed them last night. It’s clear Lynn were never trying for this one, we never wanted to win it.

Hope the Ben Fund collection was a success , saw no sign of collectors anywhere near where we were sitting!!!

No not scared of anyone even Kurtz got a race win over Robert Lambert showing he is fast enough when needed. Worrall also in heat14. Ok so considering we were always likely to lose, it didn't matter by how many and Klindt missing only shows how much we wanted it last night. In my view it would be very risky for Kings Lynn to pick us in the playoffs because of last nights performance, they know we are much better than that.

So Poole not putting it in. Must have cost Fordy a few quid in guaranteed points money. All for a meeting that didn’t matter to him. The old Choker fans don’t half come out with some old 541te. As for Shovy and his comments, everyone knows what he is about. If the guy said good morning to you, you would go outside and check for rain. Am I right in thinking IF Lynn finish top it will the first time in thier history in the Top League ? Or did we finish there once before ? if only Poole could have got Chris Folder in at no 1 instead of Kurtz. Think of the difference that would have made. It would have been good to see him on theat Saddlebow track last night.

What nonsense, could still have qualified for the playoffs if you had won tonight

You better ask them next time why they weren't trying,i would love to hear their responses.Give me a reason as to why they wouldn't try?Woryna seemed the only one who possibly didn't bother when he didn't gate he did give up.I may as well say we weren't trying at Poole then.

Nah, I have to much a life to go to a nothing meeting. Speedway fits into my life, my life doesn't revolve around speedway. Plus if I went I'd prob still be asleep at the stadium

I really hope all the promoters this winter agree to amend the regulations to allow clubs to find a replacement for injured riders any time of the season. The point of the transfer window should be to stop clubs strengthening at the last min before the playoffs and gaining an unfair advantage. Its grossly unfair to penalise clubs that have just been unlucky and are in no way gaining an advantage. If the promoters actually listened to the fans then I guarantee most fans think this rule is crazy.

But someone did so it was changed and now genuine cases are being punished

Is Tuesday now the fourth (of the two nights) allotted to British Speedway?

Was that not also mentioned on the BT commentary?
