  1. Take your kings Lynn hat off mate I for one am not castigating Cooper … I believe he meant to go a bit left and when he did coupled with the looking behind him he went further over than he thought My youngest daughter now 17 did roller speed skating and was a multi british champion …. One of her very first outdoor races at the age of 6 she was coming down the final straight and looked behind to see her fast finishing rival … the looking made her veer to the left … her skill set at that stage meant she drifted …. She was pulled in front of the officials and given a warning and rightly so although her mum thought the officials harsh I believed they were correct … age is not a factor and should not be taken into account Cooper got this wrong and I don’t believe maliciously …. The fact he is the best youngster we have and is showing outstanding form doesn’t come into it … I’m sure those around him will have had a word and I expect cooper himself will see the reaction (some of which is way over the top) and learn from it Many many ex riders have all said Cooper was at fault ranging from Steachmann, Silver , Stonehewer .. down to the likes of James Brundle…… I’m inclined to go with ex riders opinion rather than a fan who can be biased to his or her club Cooper clearly at fault … not malicious or dirty and hopefully he has took it all on board
  2. Fully expect us to get beat easily at Belle Vue and Sheffield this year with our weaker 1-7 But still stand by my Lidsey comment
  3. Though Harrison was very diplomatic in that interview lol
  4. Lidsey is a gating tart unless he is at Belle Vue.. if he leads at Foxhall when he is there he is fast …. Doesn’t gate doesn’t try
  5. Also just checked 2010 Darcy’s first season at Poole 9 from 5 In 2011 Darcy 11 +1 from 4 a paid max Then 12 +2 from 5 It appears Shovlar is a liar and a bad one at that If you can find any meeting where Darcy got 4 at lakeside then find it ……it one million percent was not when he was racing for Poole Shovlar what a clown
  6. Wow I hope someone can put you right and back me up you clown 2012 Darcy scores 12, 13 and 14 in 3 matches at Lakeside 2013 Darcy scores 17 2014 he didn’t ride there I can’t find if he guested 2015 for Swindon he scored 17 Not a genius at lakeside is a stupid predictable comment from you and a lack of knowledge I honestly did not look at 2011 he may have scored 4 then I don’t know I saw Ward twice at lakeside and he was a genius there
  7. Yes our track for the past 2-3 seasons has been much better than it used to be … and yes it doesn’t suit riders who don’t have a larger skill set but those with talent and desire attack it and make the best of it . However this season it’s been poor really poor .. I’m not a deluded fan like a lot of Poole fans and just say the racing is excellent at my home track when clearly it isn’t Bewley doesn’t often do well there but is always complimentary about the track and tries 110% same as Fricke …. The only top riders I see that back off if they miss the gate are Kurtz and both Holders. I wish all tracks could be like Belle Vue but they aren’t so you pick a side that will go well at home on a track they excel at….. last season at Ipswich we struggled most against Kings Lynn who had Kvech Harris and Lawson as heat leaders … not a patch on Bewley Klindt and Lidsey …. But at Ipswich the first named trio performed better Poole field their team with gaters and it’s understandable when they have a track like they do .. same as us at Ipswich I remember an interview with Todd Wiltshire a few years back saying he used to be mesmerised with the skill set of Andrew Silver and Mark Loram on how they rode Arena Essex …. I remember seeing Darcy at Lakeside and he was a genius on that track for someone so young to have that throttle control was unreal
  8. I don’t consider myself a full time supporter because I have family and work and live over an hour from Foxhall so I pick and choose my meetings …. We have rode at home 3 times … I went to the first meeting of the season simply because it’s the first meeting and we all miss our speedway …. The track was shocking .. we don’t have the best track but it’s been better last couple of seasons …. I gave the second match a miss as it was Northampton and the third match I didn’t go to as it was King’s Lynn again …. However the people I sit with moaned the track was awful both times…..I will go to Belle Vue at home next week to see Bewley and Kurtz Would just be nice if for once the usual Poole suspects actually spoke the truth
  9. You are joking I wouldn’t pay a £1 to watch a meeting at Poole … friends of mine are ex Arena fans who when it closed started following Poole mainly online as it was far to travel … they watched it tonight and have now decided to stop paying out … still Poole fans though I will never say they are true fans as they never went but they have had enough of watching garbage And don’t think for one minute I like the Ipswich track…. It was ok going to meetings with Doyle and Emil but I’ve only been to the opening meeting and the track at Ipswich is worse than ever
  10. Pretty much spot on …. Guessed that Newman would score less than Allen and all the other Poole boys would outscore their opponents…. If I would have known how bad the track was o might have guessed about Klindt
  11. The Poole track is back to normal I see gate and go and no passing …. Tells you all you need to know when Klindt is unbeaten
  12. Poole fans trying to downplay their chances as usual it’s just comical Barrmg the number 4 position each rider in the Poole team should outscore their opponent Poole by a minimum of 10 points
  13. The way Gilkes was speaking I don’t think he will be keen to line up for Poole anytime soon….. Leicester showing loyalty to their rider even though the replacement became the second best rising star in the top flight Poole immediately bin him and keep the replacement whose average has gone up a huge 0.16 Poole have history of being ruthless and showing zero loyalty …. Why not sign Newman at the start of the season if Poole were worried about Gilkes
  14. Belle Vue again showing they won’t be beat at home with the top two and solid back up …. Trouble is Blodorn and Cook and Tate can’t ride away at some tracks Is Mulford still on the rising star list ? Would be a much better bet than cairns
  15. He will be up there his gating is first class … well it was until he missed it off red on his last ride …and then definitely wasn’t tough enough in the LCQ…
  16. Have a look back at it …. Lambert kicked out at Zmarzlik so he looked back at Lambert and kicked him back ….. Lambert is a jumped up clown most of the time
  17. I don’t believe Doyle is a contender for a title at all but is he in the best 10 riders in the world … yes
  18. Kurtz blew it in his last ride and then moved out of the way of Doyle… Who said Doyle wasn’t good enough for the Grand Prix when you have riders like Fricke and Madsen in there Let’s hope for the good of the meeting that Dan wins this
  19. Nicholls Musielek and Lawson unbeaten and riders like Harrison going well Lidsey showing yet again he is a one track pony can’t even seem to get round the bends
  20. Lidsey Klindt Batchelor and Lawson job done
  21. You needed Kurtz to have scored 12 to beat Sheffield in aggregate and considering last season he scored only 4 and 9 at Sheffield it might have been tough to have scored the 12 needed And yes you did ok at Foxhall when you had Brennan at reserve and riders like Wright who does ok at Foxhall which they got 19 between them when you won in 2023 You also had a good win when we had no Doyle and Emil both injured and Rew injured in his first race but hey that’s Speedway . You then built a team that can’t ride Foxhall .. Blodorn Cook and Lidsey and the reserves although Mulford was ok…. Of course you don’t build a team to win at just one track but surely even with your biased eyes you must realise Foxhall is probably your worst away track You say forget the title winning season but we smashed you 4 times … ok I will admit Kurtz didn’t try that night but still you lost all 4 matches Easy to say Witches have a 50% win record if you leave a whole season out lol This season we have no Doyle and Emil so we are much weaker Kurtz and Bewley need to dominate which they can do easily they have both gone well at Foxhall in the past. You still need someone else to step up like Cook or Kildemand and you will get the bonus point You won’t have a better chance to beat us over 2 legs
  22. Yes we at Ipswich absolutely loved gate and go it’s what we dream about Your pedantic patter around Belle Vue having the best track is rather tiresome …. We all know you have the best track yawn Your Tom??? Binned him and kept Blodorn lol
  23. A track that time after time Bewley admits he loves riding Granted Ipswich isn’t a great track certainly not on the class of Belle Vue….. but like all tracks some riders rode better than others…. That’s why last season we struggled against kings Lynn at home as their riders can ride out place Belle Vue fans get very touchy when you mention they can’t ride Foxhall … but that’s speedway
