Steve Shovlar

It really isn’t good at all, unless you are Bomber. Racing was off second bend lap one, unless you were Bomber. There was a pass by Ben Cook off bend 4 lap 2 in one heat and if memory serves me, another pass after lap one. It is not a better track than some let you believe. But I guess it’s better than nothing. Too small, too tight and lots of follow the leader after bend two. The home riders know this, that’s why they are so frantic to get through immediately.

RIP Back Straight Bogs!

Just got in and wish I had stayed at home and watched the stream instead. Pirates were on a 5-1 in heat 1 when Zac lost a chain and from then on it was a hard night at the office. Plymouth ran off several 4-2’s, only for Pirates to reply with three of their own to level at 21-21. But then the tractors came out and removed all the dirt from the track and piled it up on the center green on the back straight. It made the meeting into first out of the second bend and although Pirates occasionally gated, very poor decisions coming out of the second bend allowed the Plymouth riders through and the races were over by the third bend. Unless you were Chris Harris who put in his usual shift against Poole and was outstanding, blasting inside and outside and unstoppable. Only he could do this. Poor decision making and not being hard enough made the meeting a bore (unless Harris was in a heat) as it was follow the leader. But take nothing away from the Plymouth team who knew where to put their bikes coming off the second bend to win tonight easily. I doubt any team will win at Plymouth for the remainder of this season. You know it’s a track with plenty of home advantage when you see riders like Bowtell beat top championship riders like Steve Worrall with ease. (No disrespect aimed at Bowtell) A fair result, no qualms about it. In the scheme of things it means little as neither Leicester or Glasgow will get anything there either. Well done to Plymouth. Nice to have a chat with Lewi before the meeting.

Good crowd coming in lots of Poole fans on back straight.

Not so sure it will be easy. Huge home advantage and Lawson is carrying a bad knock. Of course the opportunity is there and it would be disappointing to lose but Plymouth are no walkovers on their track.

A little worrying about Lawson knee and the form of Drew Kemp tonight. Need to improve tomorrow to get a result.

Iversen in for final pay days. Doesn’t offer value for money. Do better trying to get Bjarne out of retirement.

Just want the Poole boys to get through safely. So dodgy riding this.

Nah. Burger van!

No. Good for stats etc but put Rowe in front of a camera and paaarrp!

Fat kids shown again. Eating bars of chocolate!

Pickering pulling out is strange. What is going on there?

What’s required is a critical foil for Kelvin. It’s ok agreeing on things but a bit of criticism of riders/conditions etc. isn’t bad.

Got 54-36 written over this. Now no Pickering.

Bigging up Iversen who was completely outgated then pulled up. Iversen in his twilight years. Not good he has come back to be honest. Rather see fresh up and coming stars.

Cameraman shouldn’t zoom in on two very fat kids stuffing their faces with ice cream.

Poole boys struggling on a very dodgy track. Used to riding on a smooth proper speedway track. Still, practice for the more important meeting tomorrow at Plymouth.

It’s for people tuning in for the first time. Or couldn’t you work that out?

Cook would have to be in Plymouth as junior league doesn’t take priority over a top league. And Tuesdays are not an official Polish race night.

Sussed out why VK was working for some but not myself and others. You need to be logged into VK for the stream to work. If you don’t have an account it won’t work.

Sod that. All or nothing. Given up trying to watch. Only working stream buffers every minute then seizes up. Will wait and watch afterwards.

Again Woffy beaten by opposition reserve. He wanted to ride in U.K.? Why wasn’t he signed then?

Woffy has lost it. League one next season imo. No aggression last season and even less this. All his talk about setups is just excuses for lack of performance.

Stations know it’s there. Can’t find a feed. Daddy live buffers all the time.

Anyone got a working feed? Nothing working.
