Shows the true attitude of some Poole fans who no matter what feel the need to gloat when they win. Quite sad really. Speedway is the only loser when one team is so dominant but some can't see past the end of their nose I guess. I'm sure they will be happy when the win another title and the sport is at its lowest ebb for many a year. And this isn't a dig at Poole or the team they have built which is quite within the rules it's the fact that the sport is totally suffering and the more clubs suffer the worst it becomes so the need to gloat doesn't show people in a good light

Poole to win by 10-15

Doyle will do the Adams part but like most teams the strength in depth is weak. Poole have a top 5 who are all basically heat leaders, and yes in most other teams in the league Kurtz would fill the third heat leader role. They have the strongest reserve in Newman and the strongest of the number 7's in Ellis. Belle Vue have a top 3 that matches Pooles top 3 and their second strings are marginally weaker and so are their reserves. As I said 2 teams miles clear if the rest and with the standard of riders this looks like being the most mundane of seasons and further evidence how the sport is dying And before I get told Kurtz average isn't a heat leader average them look at the ability of the 3rd heat leader in the other teams. Belle Vue have a stronger top 3 that Kurtz isn't as good as, but all the other sides (maybe apart from Lynn) he is at least on a par with the third heat leader.

why is it claptrap? The elite league looks between 2 teams who certainly won't get beat at home and win by large margins most weeks. I'm an Ipswich fan and we won the league at a canter in 1998 but we thrashed most teams so wasn't exciting to watch. Poole will thrash most teams at home this season so how can it be interesting? The elite league looks as dull as I have ever seen it. This isn't a dig at Poole at all but I'm sure you and the usual suspects like to twist my words anyway. Oh and Steve O says the racing was boring so which was it? . All I'm saying is it looks like a Poole v Belle Vue final and we have hardly had a wheel turned. Not good for the league is it really you come out with some guff! Enjoy your win enjoy the fact there is only 2 capable teams in the league. If this is how you like the sport then there is no hope. The incredulous bias towards your own side is quite unique

Elite league absolutr snore fest. 2 teams so much better than the rest. May watch it on the box when it's the inevitable Poole v Belle Vue final.........yawn

But when will you realise we are not talking about opinions we are talking about stone cold facts. From 1985 onwards Sam Ermolenko has a far superior record to Shawn Moran. That is fact. Ermolenko achieved more Fact. I think Sidney dear old fruit you get confused with who was better to watch rather than who was the better rider. Shawn Moran , on song, in full flow, to me was far more exciting to watch then Ermolenko but wasnt the better rider. Mark Loram Tomasz Gollob Jan O Pedersen Per Jonsson All the above are one of World champs. Out of them i would far rather watch Mark Loram race every time. But put it simply he wasnt as good as the other three. Im just waiting for you to bring up the point that Gollob is better than Nicki Pedersen another laughable claim. Gollob more talented but the better rider as proved by the FACT he is a triple world champion is Nicki you talk some complete rubbish. For what its worth i rate Gollob over Ermolenko but not by miles!! Sam is behind Penhall and Hancock yes. But to say he is behind Autrey, Sigalos and Moran is a load of old crap

This was the original post from the troll that invades our thread all the time slagging off the riders and promotion and before a wheel has been turned has been abusive towards Paco. Go on the Ipswich thread you will see his insults. This was my response to him telling him to leave the forum. For those of you stupid enough my comment about a 4 race maximum from Paco is called tongue in cheek, or sarcasm call it what you want If you would care to explain how ive been made to look an idiot then please enlighten me?? As stated read the posts. I knew full well Paco wouldnt get a maximum it was a dig back at the troll. Jeez some people can not understand English

Rickardsson was truly a great but in my opinion I would be more excited about a race with Gollob in then TR as I thought you might see a great race. Same scenario back in the day at British Finals when I would look forward to Mark Lorams and Joe Screens races more than Chris Louis or Martin Dugard as an example. TR a great but certainly more anticipation that I was going to see a good race if Gollob was lining up

i would expect Newman riding at 7 to out score Garritty riding at 2 and if the situation was reversed

think you need to read all posts before hilighting one sentence. We have a troll on this thread called cupidstunt who slags off Ipswich all the time. He keeps laying into Paco so I 'tongue in cheek' said he will get a maximum. Try reading things first pal

You really are a strange individual! Saying its bumpy when the update site classes it as slick. Harris made the most passes but the rest were from Poole riders so you can't really moan about the track!! Oh and Kyle Newman tonight got beat by Bates (twice) Woryna and Sarjeant ( who was awful at Ipswich last night) makes me think that away from home he will be struggling in the 1-5 and is, as we all know, a decent reserve and nothing more

the track is slick you pillock not bumpy and rutty

i agree that he should have to go through qualifiers. However some Poole fans (not yourself) were saying Darcy should have got a wild card after his ban and now say Emil shouldn't I don't get the thought process behind that at all Ward and Emil talent wise are on a par with Woffy but are not as good as him the record books tell you that. Gollob was better to watch than Rickardsson and more natural ability but who was the better rider? Rickardsson all day long. Unfortunatly with the tragic events of Darcy and Emil not riding currently, it means neither Ward or Emil will be remembered in the way Woffy will be.

Garrity is now quite clearly the better rider backed up by the facts. Higher average in the premier league, made the top 4 in the British Final and is in the GB squad. That's not to say Newman can't get to that level he just isn't there yet. The Poole fans who seem to think Newman is better see him just ride at home beating fast track reserves. Newman has the ability to beat Garrity at home but let's talk about this debate when Newman makes a British Final or GP

Poole didn't do to much wrong last season but I would hazard a guess that 90% of all controversy involves Poole who have pulled off some dodgy dealings in the past. The annoyance to true fans is the win at all costs attitude of some of the fans on here. I don't have a problem with the majority except for the village idiot who wants a 1 team elite league which to be fair isn't far away from happening.

totally agree about Newman to good to be a number 7 in the elite but only just about a heat leader in the premier. Some Poole fans think he is the second coming and is the future of Team GB. Can't see how in anyway Newman can ever make a squad

Kyle Newman man of the match bit of a joke really. He beat the other reserves on his home track and he is a better rider than both in either league. Oh he also beat Garrity who technically is the same level as Newman so how can he be man of the match didn't beat anyone of any note that he wasn't expected to. Easy for Poole in what is a boring looking league

Funnily enough it wasn't Hans it was Kurtz and Ellis

I see at least 2 of the Poole boys not impressed with the track. What has happened to that once good track Poole had? Nice attitude belittling other clubs like you do. So arrogant. Hans Andersen will ride for whoever gives him the best deal hence he moves clubs an awful lot. He isn't Poole through and through like Holder(who even though a Poole man said he WOULD ride elsewhere if not wanted) and he hasn't anywhere stated he just wants to be part of a winning team. You just speak crap

why you having a pop at someone??? You didn't put it on another thread unless I've missed something. Phil the Ace mentions it and then you comment so quite clearly you didn't know until you were told either! So your a liar as well

you are such an idiot. Read the posts. Lisa said a few may stay away and the very next post you say that they should all stay away so technically you are asking for something different to Lisa so hence nobody has picked her up on what she said. Lisa is a true fan where as you dont give two hoots about the sport as long as poole win. I love the fact that your own fans call you a village idiot!!

Great race track at scunny should be a cracking meeting only drawback is its to far away for me as an away track to visit. Stop upsetting those Monarchs fans. U know they spit there dummy's if they don't get there own way. Trying to cover up the fact there team looks awful this year.....and incomplete

as I say should be comfortable for Poole only the Poole fans who think we are all stupid by saying it will be close. And God yes let's hope Belle Vue can win the league. Still to me the elite league looks dull compared to the premier this year

why don't you take your daft childish trolling and invade another team pathetic individual. Paco to get a 4 race maximum

I see Poole fans put up a small 8-10 point win when quite clearly they should win this by nearer 20. That way they can say there amazed by their team when they win by more than the 8 they predicted. Poole to win by 15 in the 2 team boring elite league
