Just read the Swindon official site that says he has 'stood down'. That's fair enough as hadn't read it. 'Stood down'

Why is the fit AM not riding or did he get injured in Sweden? Have I missed something?

Just you being a cynic, it was a class pass.

Disagree, out of order :

The last 3rd saved the meeting as a spectacle, the closeness kept it interesting. No doubt the Lambert haters will be quiet for while but what a future we have with Woffy and Zach Wajtknecht in the next few years to come. Bjerre was truly awful and the loss would have fell right on his shoulders. Good to see Ash progressing nicely. The Pirates even without Holder are a danger. Just goes to show what a final it will be with the Bees because quite frankly no one else is in the same league or standard thus year as those two. Awesome fightback from Poole, however why the insistence on cutting to Middlo at every opportunity?? Both teams well and truly in it yet Rob Lyon only got a couple of interviews. Sky bias sadly.

Have criticised the sport often despite the fact I like to see positives in life in general .

Don't tell my Poole are gonna 'do a Swindon'? They aren't trying to bring in someone else and lower averages are they?? :

Not much wrong with the racing, it's the line up and performances that people are voting with their feet on. That's sad to hear. Don't get me wrong I haven't lost my enthusiasm for the sport as i see at least 2 matches a week anyway. My love for the sport hasn't waned in the slightest. However the least I expect from my team and riders is effort and a ounce of pride. I see none of that so would I bother going to offer my support if they can't be bothered to sort out the issues in the team?? The EL I'm happy is a £20 sport (with programme) and I want at minimum effort and pride for that price and I don't think that's too much to ask. I cannot watch my side devoid of effort , so it's over to them to entice me back this season.

Swindon to get 60, anything less is cheating. :

People are voting with their feet, with more to follow. Only good weather can save the crowds unless changes are made. I'm deciding if I can bothered to go on Monday, or whether I can't be bothered anymore - just like the riders.

Be embarrassing to lose to us, hopefully you can try for once.

The guests they used against Wolves certainly made them stronger, seems a coincidence the more guests the better the result! Difficult to know if Leicester were that much better or Swindon much poorer/average dropping.

2 meetings in quick succession having 'set up' issues , particularly when you need to lower averages to fit someone is is dodgy to say the least. Troy IMHO is no different than usual, flatters to decieve.

An argument used often but I don't buy it. Swedish and Polish league teams are way stronger and no such thing as an easy heat either.

Thought it was one of the best this year.

So are Swindon just fodder,as they looked last night (all season) or is it more points lowering for Darcy? At least we know it's one of them. : It's good to see Leicester winning again with guests doing the business for them.

No doubt you will be saying the same about all the accusations thrown at Poole over the years then.

Well done the Aces, the rightful 4th place team.

Cheats never prosper more importantly.

Thanks, unlike some I give respect where it is due. Look who does the updates DOH. They say the truth hurts i guess.

You got it the wrong way round Gemini! If we bring in Ward you might have a point. Except it's to cheating bound Swindon #swindonthenewpoole. You clearly missed my prediction early in the thread - already predicted a Bees 4 pointer. We have already throw the towel in like me! Well can it get any worse?? Billed as a 'must win' match (2 weeks ago maybe but no one is buying that spin any more) we had to show some desire and passion and for the 1st half I actually believed we were the side I saw promise in from the 1st 3rd of the season and it looked like the Bees were self imploding in front of our eyes (that would have been a pretty sight all the same!) Then the Bees came back hard and once Garrity had sorted his head out it made all the difference. In the 2nd half the Bees were that much stronger and we were much poorer, its a simple as that. The only positive I can take is that the Bees are awesome away this year and I had already predicted a big away win but I didn't expect such a fall from grace after dominating the 1st half. When your 3 heat leaders manage 11 between them and no race wins it's amazing to think we had an 8 point lead at one stage! Thank god for Ricky, Josh and to a lesser extent Lewis and Jacob. At least they show Except some fight and passion. words fail me for the other 3. It's easy to see why the Bees are one step away from the play off final already. Besides Poole they are head and shoulder above the other lightweights. They came,they won, we expected it. WOLVES FRED - looked quick enough in his first 2 but then disappeared. Bit like his average. 1/5 JACOB - struggles when the Track gets slicker but earned his place in the noms. 3/5 TOBBY - just couldn't ride the track and nearly threw away his only point by locking up too hard. 0.5/5 RICKY - will be tougher when he moves to heat leader although he was the only Wolf to beat Joonas, why no heat 15? 3.5/5 PK - never looked like winning a heat, similar to Freddie. Time to retire the old man. 1.5/5 LEWIS - started superbly but then got outdone by his superior reserve counterpart. 2.5/5 JOSH - great night for the lad with some determined riding and battling skills, that sort of performance from the number should win you the match he got let down by the rest.3.5/5 MOTM COV Hans - after a faltering start was untouchable, yet some Bees fans still want to give him stick shallow. 4.5/5 Robbo - not the usual battling qualities we expect at Monmore. Off night. 1.5/5 Joonas - seems to have remembered his way around Monmore again. Superb 4.5/5 Danny - apparently Britain's number 3 , was a one race wonder. 1/5 Bomber - total class and untouchable. 5/5 Garrity - shocking 1st half then got his head together. 2.5/5 Sarjeant - did his job in the 12th, otherwise ordinary. 1.5/5

And stevebrum would be missing from the terraces!

And let KK score poorly so he could go back to Poole in the future on a much lower average?? NO THANKS. I'd rather carry on using an asset of the club, although so long as it's not that dirty Dane instead!

[quote The trouble is that Lindgren, Karlsson, Wells and Musielak on a new average leaves around 8 points for the last place which could point to Kasprzak or Lindback as possible new signings if they are to look at the play offs win or lose here. kasprzak ?? Kasprzak?? He is the one rider that we or any club do not need to sign. He has no interest in trying in the EL and us bang out of form this year. He won't be the answer to any club.

And largely down to whether Freddie and Co have any fight in them.
