I have never in my life put my backside over the saddle of a speedway bike. The only time I have sat on a bike was Martin Dugard bike set up for be the gater, leaving fastest time for dropping the clutch. But I don’t have to be a rider of any standard to witness what was evident in front if my eyes. Anyone with a modicum of speedway knowledge could see that his time has gone. Have Gary May or Rob Lyon been riders? Sorry but your post is moronic in the extreme.

Poole Pirates 2021
Steve Shovlar replied to Pirates Of Poole's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I was willing on Zane last night to do well. You could see he was trying. Over trying at times and as a heat went on he became more untidy. He has never got to grip with the Poole track, taking awful too tight lines into the first bend which force him to the fence on bend two, scrubbing off a load of speed. Over time I felt he would have worked it out. But time is never on a Poole riders side if they can’t replicate on track what they can do on track. It is no doubt a harsh move by the Poole promotion, but the team doesn’t carry any passengers. I really hope he gets fixed up at Plymouth, where he won a heat in Pirates recent victory. Under the watchful eyes of Crump he might just get his act together on track and save his late but possible career in the sport. -
Paul is taking up a berth that could be given to a rising star who is desperate for a team place. He is old, over weight, and his days of getting close to scoring are long gone. He really doesn’t deserve a team spit and he must know it as well. A club can be loyal to riders but really the Kent fans want to see their team be as competitive as they possibly can be and Paul should hold his hands up and say what everyone can see. Offer to be a coach and mentor to the juniors. His experience is worth more than his arse over a saddle.

As predicted a complete walk in the park for Pirates. Thank you Scotty for putting up much needed resistance. Rider of the night IMO with some excellent racing. But the rest of them should have just stayed at home. One man v Poole. And seriously. Paul Hurry? Paul has been a very good servant for British speedway over the years, being a solid second string rider. But watching a tubby middle aged man miss the gate every time and struggle at the back was not good to see. Better he gives his place up to a rising star rider who is desperate for a team spot. His time has gone.

Craig Cook was crap tonight. Crump injured. Wolves just did their job to be honest. -

I agree. British youngsters at reserve are the way to go. Flint has been excellent but he stiffened up on the last lap under pressure. -

Game over. Crump a shadow of the rider he was. -

As a neutral this is an enjoyable meeting, with much more passing tonight than I have seen in multiple visits to Foxhall. So pleasing to see the young rising stars amongst the points. Difficult meeting to call.
