You should just ignore it.

And take a big bow, Danyon Hume and Ben Basso. Danyon had a poor meeting last time but was certainly fired up tonight to make up for it. Brilliant. As for Ben Basso, us Poole fans have known how good he is and tonight on his first visit to Leicester scored paid 11 with some great passes. Both on the sheet for next year Matt and Danny please.

Big well done to Andy for making clips of each heat so we could watch. Thrilling stuff. Will say this. I know for a fact that Poole want the second leg of the final. I can’t see anyway that Poole would want to run the ko cup final before the playoff final. Yes we have spare dates but what allow Edinburgh a free ride around Wimborne Road to get their setups sorted? Yes of course it would be the same for us up there, but better to leave the ko cup until after the final. And yes, Glasgow might well have a very big say in it as well.

Saving his best for his main team.

We were pretty awful on Wednesday but watching it tonight, they got their act together and were like rockets. Brilliant performance from the boys.

Yes! In the final! Whoop whoop!

Far from over…

The crashes to the Swdes and Woffinden were caused by the riders hitting the rider (Doyle) in front at high speed. Not caused by the track.

Just seen a close up of Pirate Ship chatting away.

Track is absolutely fine. Made for racers. More tomorrow please.

Awful crash. Truly awful.

They have ages to sort out the bike they are using then end up late on track! Amateurs!

Just come on here and was going to post about the great racing. Loads of passing with quite a few lines. Then I read the last 2 pages and wondered if I was watching the same meeting. Thought the racing was fine. TeamGB acting like a bunch of amateurs mind, with the pathetic exclusion. Woffy looks very lightweight although he has speed. No chance of beating Poland unless Zmazlik or Majic goes through the tapes in the final.

Good luck to the Pirates tonight. Not able to be there but will follow through Twitter. As Middlo said, the fat lady might be clearing her voice but it isn’t over yet.

That’s correct. Glad Edinburgh had streaming to watch the away leg. That’s for the KO Cup of course.

Fingers crossed this is the case though it has been said that it is on the discovery Plus channel live with highlights on Eurosport.

Not Magnanimous in Victory, then?

Bjarne getting a deserved heat 15. Down to Poole to give him his farewell, and a great night it will be.

Well done Panthers. I hope Lyon gives Bjarne a ride in heat 15. Would be fully deserved.

Well done Bewley. What a race!

Shame you never followed his career then. Far from a gating tart.

What a way for Pirates legend Bjarne to end his career. Looking forward to giving him a massive send off into retirement at Poole shortly.

He gave the reason earlier. Get the wax out of your ears.

I’ve been right from the start. This was all over at Belle Vue on Monday. Easy to see as a neutral.
