Absolutely terrific Australian SGP. Had a bit of everything. Holder's form is without doubt an effect of what's happened to his best mate and is struggling to come to terms with it. Think he's needing the winter (summer in his homeland) break.

Can't see the draft system working now. Let's go hypothetical here. Kerr or Garrity obtain (absolutely possible) a 10 average from 4 meetings, could they then get replaced by Nicki Pedersen?

I understand meetings are time limited but referees don't seem to stick to it. Isn't it 5mins from the end of a heat to the start of the next including the 2min clock? That's 1h15mins excluding intervals. Obviously crashes and 2 rides back to back interfere but surely it's not difficult to be in and around that time frame?

1. Doyle 9.44 2. Porsing 4.70 3. Lambert 6.59 4. Jonas Andersen 3.36 5. Iversen 8.98 6. Kerr 4.22 7. Rose 3.00 Ave 40.29

So that's excluding Swindon then

Nobody can prove their fitness until they've thrown their leg over a bike. No matter how much gym work these guys do it'll be their mental state that counts. We can't judge that until tapes up. If the say they want to ride and Buster & Rob believe in them then why wouldn't contract talks already be done and dusted

Lakeside won't be racing at Kent, Kent will be racing as Kent. Lakeside will be no more, that how I understand the situation

He would be the idea person but unfortunately won't get the nod because he won't accept or tolerate the crap. BSPA only want a yes man in charge

But adult admission would still go up

From this year's team we have to leave out Porsing and Bjerre.

Not me, I hugged & kissed my TV

This season Poole have kept their noses super clean. Any issues during meetings have been down to inept refereeing, totally out of Poole's hands. Poole should be hugely congratulated by all this season and it should be the Pirates most sweetest title victory for many many years No ringers signed on stupid averages Same 1-7 all season A massive well done and fully deserved

That was worth typing!?!?! Hope you feel better

I'm sure 'GoggleGate' will go into overdrive but everyone has to remember that it isn't Poole's problem or fault. The meeting referee is the problem Congratulations to the Pirates but boy did those Aces make you sweat

As they should. I have no problem with booing at all. Part of the game for me but the reaction to it hasn't been the same as when your fans do it. It's like a blind eye has been turned As to the meeting though, Nigel Pearson tonight has had been well and truly justified in using his wooooooooooow!!! It's been absolutely terrific.

Can't believe how little criticism of the Aces fans there's been on here & Twitter The other way round and this thread would have added at least 10 pages

See Coventry fans are still chewing wasps. Seriously!!!!!

obviously not been on many of your own clubs threads much. Horton / Watson are always pedaling bullrubbish with Coventry's own fans on the attack against them all the time. I don't like Poole much like most because of their past but boy have Coventry fans gone waaaaaaaaay over the top over the Dakota situation. We've had you come out with some fantasist "investigation" over the North family which quite frankly, is embarrassing. Seriously, I just don't get why every thread has to end up bitter and twisted and occasionally quite nasty. It really is time to move on and look forward to 2016. Coventry fans, you really have bigger things to worry about. You could be homeless in the very near future and none of us want that. That should really be your main and probably only concern. Good luck with that and hope a huge part of British Speedway's history doesn't disappear.

Who gives a monkey's about a riders repair bills? Certainly not us paying publics problem. Cheering you team on in sport is part of the game. There certainly isn't enough of it in uk speedway. In Poles go mental when a rider goes down and their atmosphere is described as the best in speedway. A few 10's in British Speedway do it and they're a disgrace I think some people need to get over themselves and chill a little. The facts are, we're all different and like all different things. Cheering a fall does not make anyone moronic, stupid etc just because you don't like it

In your opinion

I to thought the Poole fans were terrific last night. Just wish every track could be like that every week. You are 100% bang on about cheering, it's all about the advantage not the rider going down. Most of the comments are just bitterness about their clubs own failings

The 0 at Coventry has obvious reasoning 3+1 @ Lakeside, many of heatleaders have done similar or worse So is really 1 poor performance at home from his previous 6 Poole matches prior to the playoffs bad form? Not for me

Just checked Dakota's last 6 Poole matches prior to the playoff 8+2 @ Leicester 3+1 @ Poole 3+1 @ Lakeside 10+2 paid max @ Poole 8+1 @ Poole 10+2 @ Belle Vue Lakeside is a tricky place to go anyway so his bad form is 1 home meeting, Coventry fans talking b0!!0x to justify their apparent "unjust". Your whinging is getting horrendous. As thecoombdog also says, your trying to deflect the blame away from your own clubs failings.

This thread is hilarious and not in a good way. I don't see the issue with North taking time out, we all react differently to bad news. Having a round of golf with a mate is kind of what mattress should do isn't it rather than turning yourself inside out with worry. I know if a mate was struggling the first thing I'd do is get them out and about. The reaction on here has been nothing but pathetic. If Coventry lose its because their riders haven't stepped up. Poole could have Sayfutdinov as guest but that's irrelevant. It's all about the mentality of the riders you've got. Harris, King & Andersen can beat all of Poole's top 5. Sargent can beat all of Poole's reserves. On a good day Howarth can mix it. Coventry need tomorrow to be a good day. The lose of Garrity is more pivotal than Poole bringing in Kennett. It's fookin Kennett for goodness sake Fingers crossed we actually see a cracking meeting and none of this BS and best wishes to both North and Garrity.

Am hearing that Buster was involved in an accident / collision during the F1 World Finals at the AFA? Any idea as to whether he's ok?
