  1. Not really a fan of Hancock. Boring to watch Gating tart The thing with Pedersen The cheating last year But for all those who say he shouldnt get a wildcard......your talking out your backsides
  2. Because Poole only rode at Wolves recently it wasnt to difficult to look at the match last night and compare it to the previous one. Im not stupid enough to say that 2 matches are alike as so many things can happen. But when a team goes back to the same track 20 days later with Kennett instead of KK and Wolves without Masters, i didnt think anyone needed to be a genius to have the opinion it would be close. Anyways it was so nice when Shovlar told me i had to knowledge only to completely prove him wrong!!!
  3. Never said that. Wolves rode at home to Poole twice in 20 days so of course the current form of the riders was no different. And the previous fixture had a huge bearing as the teams were the same pretty much. I said that if a team can win away , then when they go back to that track with a stronger 1-7 a few weeks later then i couldnt understand why Poole fans expected them to be thrashed at Wolves. Poole thumped Rye House last time though Poole are weaker this time and Rye House stronger. You can use the past match as a guide surely So of course you can use past performances as a guide, though in this case Poole last rode Rye in May so its more of a guess
  4. Poole to win this by 10-15. Wasnt that much of improved performance at Wolves when you look at it. Maybe in the fact that the Poole boys showed more fight than last time. Was a point lost for Poole though. If Hans had done better and the correct riders chosen for heat 15 then maybe so. Holder had seen Thorsells back wheel in every race so have no idea why he was in heat 15. Hans had bustled up Lindgren in heat 13 and should have been in.
  5. Poole (although with 3 home matches on the trot) are not in the play offs yet. I fully expect them to hold on to 4th place but Somerset are 6 back with 2 matches in hand and if Rye win at Poole Thursday (which i doubt) then they will be in the same position. Poole (apart from Lynn) are the current worst team in the league on form. I feel they have enough in hand with matches at home to Rye and Leicester in the next few weeks to keep 4th but they need to be careful.
  6. quite a few posts in the first 3 pages saying Wolves by 6. But hey Orion must be going to the same education class as Starman as you both can't read
  7. nope not at all. It's on the thread just look. I was a point out!
  8. jeez how many more times!!Right I was responding to Shovlar saying Poole would be thrashed. I pointed out how wel you did last time and tongue in cheek put Pooles to lose. Look over the thread I put Wolves by 6 on loads of posts!
  9. wow I've seen some bad manager decisions in my time but to put Holder and Lahti in heat 15!!! I'm guessing Poole didn't want a point that was up for grabs!!!! The loss of Worrall and Hans low score hindered Poole but as expected r/r for Masters was no good and Kennett smashed what KK would have got. Well I said Wolves to win by 6......it was 7 !!! Silly Middlo chucking a point away read the thread buddy I said Wolves by 6 loads of times. My response of 'Pooles to lose' was in stark reply to the Poole troll Shovlar who said his team would be massacred. I pointed out that they wouldn't and put it on the end.
  10. As expected Poole keeping it close due to Kennett being far better than KK and Masters rides not getting much. Poole would be winning if Hans was doing better and Worrall was fit. All you Poole fans who mocked what I said I await the apologies! Hans and Worrall scored 22 last time that is the issue this time. And Mr Shovlar said I had no knowledge lol
  11. Jack Holder shouldnt be allowed to race in the pairs. If he and his promotion are happy to take the money when a better offer comes along then the BSPA should have the balls to suspend him from future BSPA events
  12. Success currently is Poole yes. Crowds well still maybe Poole Name recognition...not at all But i look at it differently i guess. Its opinions but i believe 'biggest' club is the name and crowds not what they have won. Manchester United were still the biggest name in Football even in the 80's before they went on their winning run Poole are currently the biggest draw as they have been successful. And i wouldnt call Preston with 2 league wins in the 1800's as successful really or a big club! My definition of biggest club differs but its opinions and im not arguing about it just discussing it
  13. Yes in the last ten years maybe but why are we shortening the time span? In 2016 Leicester were the biggest football team then! In the 1920's Huddersfield were the best football team? Time of success is irrelevant. So if its not gauged on success what is it gauged on?? It is based on history and prestige surely!! Do you gauge it on support? My thing about football makes perfect sense. Surely the biggest clubs in football are Manchester United and Liverpool?..................But in the last 5 or 6 years Manchester City and Chelsea have won most things even Arsenal with 3 FA Cups. Yet they are not the biggest clubs. Huddersfield have won the top league more times than Spurs yet who is the bigger club? Poole are successful on the track 7 titles in the last 14 years.......but if Wolves win this year they will have 4 in the same amount of time. Its simply been Pooles turn to dominate (bit like Huddersfield in the 1920's). They also have been the team in that time with the biggest financial backer. Poole have been the 'biggest' club recently But we can talk about this forever but no way in my mind are Poole in the top 3 of the biggest clubs of all time in Speedway.
  14. Surely being a big club in any sport is gauged not on success. Leeds and Newcastle and Sunderland are a bigger football clubs then Leicester........who has had most success recently? Ask anyone in the street to name 5 speedway teams and i doubt anyone would say Poole. Belle Vue, Cradley, Coventry would be the most popular. Most successful club in the last 10 years is Poole. But the biggest speedway club is Belle Vue
  15. Dont agree. Biggest doesnt mean winning things. Who is the biggest footbal club? Manchester United then Liverpool i would guess. Chelsea, Manchester City have all had more success then United or Liverpool but arent bigger clubs. Belle Vue are still the biggest club in speedway..........yes Poole have won the league recently a few times. Poole are the most successful of recent years..................certainly not the biggest club. And the club is well supported when winning things............the fans go missing otherwise
  16. Sidney dont rise to Gater1/ speedwayfanatic...................cant see past Poole for anything. Poole have never been the biggest club in speedway not even close................most successful for a small period yes................which hopefully has ended now.
  17. Give what a rest. Middlo has had success at Poole and has been given plenty of backing to do that money wise by Ford and by Ford buying up an asset base. Im sure most managers would love to have the backing Middlo gets. Rosco has done it on shoestring budgets AND with 2 different sides. Lets see Middlo come out of the easy comfort zone at Poole and go elsewhere to prove himself. This season Poole had clearly the best 1-7 at the start..Swindon in most peoples eyes were going to finish near the bottom. Poole have imploded and are only going to finish 4th because of the mess at Kings Lynn. Swindon on the other hand are title favourites.....tells me all i need to know. And for TeamGB Middlo was manager when we had decent riders.........Rosco has got us to two finals when our team isnt that good. So in my eyes Rosco is quite clearly the better manager
  18. Rosco has won the league with 2 different sides. Middlo had managed a team where money was no object. Rosco is the better team manager. Rosco better with GB as well you quite clearly said Poole have achieved more than any other club!!! Pooles run of success is hopefully over. Biggest clubs over the years are Belle Vue, Coventry and Cradley, you can't just ignore history
  19. PILL0CK The fans dont want riders taking the p33 out of British Speedway..............now be a good little boy and run along let the adults chat
  20. Jack Holder has to be banned pure and simple. However i dont agree he should get a ban for Poole as they have played no part in this
  21. Nope not saying that at all. But if you win somewhere and fairly recent as well..............you dont feel like you could do it again?
  22. Cant see why Jack Holder should be banned for Poole...the issue is with Peterborough and Torun.........would be wrong if he wasnt allowed to ride for Poole. And yes Worrall at Monmore is a big loss. Starke can cover him a little bit but Shanes isnt great at Wolves so Starke may have 7 rides here if Worrall is missing
  23. The league is watered down we all know that But the sheer jealously from the Poole duo is amazing. Fools that are clueless but still we get a laugh out of them Then the other one Gater1 who has had another name change to speedway fanatic pops up as well.....what a sad bunch in Dorset. Basically Poole have imploded this season. Were hot favourites only to mess it up somehow. Middlo should take a look at the way Rosco does things! Poole had a number one who they said loved Poole, only rides well for Poole and will rack up the big scores. A solid second heat leader 2 young Aussie stars ( who to be fair have done great) Solid loyal Kyle Newman who they bombed out for a rider of the same ability The best reserve in the league by a mile Good 2 pointer in Shanes Thats the best part of the season that the Poole team has been so so dire I hope Swindon go on to win it been the best team
  24. Im intelligent enough to know that no 2 days are the same. I was number 4 in the country in my 'sport' when i was 10 (retired at 13 lol) My youngest daughter is a British Champion in her sport. I know reality is different but the doom and gloom of some Poole fans re this match i dont get. You won there last time, Masters is out and KK is gone who only got 4. Surely you must feel confident?
  25. Lol Seem to remember Matt Ford cancelling a meeting due to a poor line up..................guess thats fine then in your eyes.
