He isn't much of a Poole fan if he laughs at our riders failing

Obviously a closet Somerset fan.

Don't think they will, our reserves are stronger than Belle Vue's. Allen may have done well the other night, can he reproduce it against Poole, I would say that is highly unlikely and they are weaker with Summers at reserve.

Except Andersen didn't ride abroad claiming to be injured he was injured. He rode in one meeting had a ride and realised he didn't have the strength in his hand to ride.

On his twitter Klindt says he is ok after his crash sore knuckle but be fine after a day's rest. As for Worrall a guest might be preferable!

I know we are all sounding a bit doom and gloom but realistically we need Kurtz and Harris to fire on all cylinders to have a chance, if we can keep it to 10 or less we can do it.

We are definitely up against it and I would make Somerset clear favourites but as you say stranger things have happened.

The trouble is they will prepare it like last time and our riders will probably struggle to deal with it again.

It could come down to weak links and both teams have possible weaknesses, Somerset have Covatti and Summers, Poole have Worrall and Kurtz.

I am sure Kings Lynn are very happy with Riss

Yes but we can't all go to Manchester every week!

Any sportsman can have a career ending accident, if it happened to a footballer which has happened many times , he isn't worth millions anymore is he. It is just the risk clubs take .

No true but Poole have a lot of rider assets probably more than any other club , some aren't worth anything especially if they don't ride anymore or don't want to ride here but others can be loaned out so there are a number of riders that still have a value and of course if we use our own assets then we cut down on loan fees from other clubs.

Just probably some bruising so a precautionary withdrawal.

When Doyle gets a injury and Allen gets 15 then you know the writing is on the wall, i honestly don't think we can live with this Somerset team.

I doubt it, worked last time and gives their riders a massive advantage.

That will have to change, we need to gate and keep to the kerb, no point in trying the outside line.

Agreed those two even joked about not being as bad as the last time before the last meeting at Somerset and yet they were still pretty bad.

No I don't think any of us want him sacked, he can carry on making as many mistakes as he likes!

That is our problem if it is one line and no grip our riders may struggle again, May has already shown his hand that this is how he will prepare the track so we have to make sure we can adapt this time.

Even Harris who has been excellent only got 2 last time at Somerset.

No it could be Belle vue v Somerset!

Not in the slightest why should we care? Just pointing out mistakes that Dale made. I said previously it wouldn't matter as Kings Lynn would win their home leg easily.

I doubt it he is dynamite at home.

He didn't even replace Riss when he touched the tapes, he put Riss off 15 metres when he could have put Simon Lambert in or MPT.
