At least I am honest in my prediction. Seriously, we can’t compete with the Swindon top five or top two. Plus their reserves are scoring. Wolves reserves outscored us at Poole 21 v 1.

We just imagined Wolves win at Poole a couple of weeks ago then? We are riding well above ourselves. Both Swindon and Wolves are way stronger, and you know it.

You know as well as the rest of us that the winner of the Swindon v Wolves semi will be huge favourites for the title. With Douglas and Becker at reserve for Wolves it would be a major choke if they didn’t win it this year.

Seems things were discussed at the interval. Couldn’t believe the turn around.

So a repeat of last week with Ipswich back to Wimborne Road. Hopefully the track staff would have been working in that first bend bump. And turned it into a hill! Seriously this should be tight over two legs with Ipswich having a free practice on it already. But whoever makes it through this semi is going to be very much the underdog. Bring it on!

What a saddo.

It was Coventry, though he will deny it.

Trackprat must be so frustrated. We still finish top with the weakest lineup in years.

Both us and Swindon took advantage of a weakened Lynn side. If they had been at full strength neither us or the Robins would have got much out of our trips there.

You enjoy the typo while us Poole fans can enjoy finishing top of the pile.

What a huge turn around after the interval. Shows just how good Middlo is as our manager, getting the riders in the right frame of mind to do the job in hand. we probably won’t win it this year but we are still in there fighting to retain. #PiratePride.

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS! Top of the league, baby! My pessimism geed them up! Looks like we held on all meeting and Middlo did his magic at the break. We’ll probably chose Swindon now!

Our problem tonight, with the scores at 30-30, is that we can’t get heat winners and both Cook and Lambert are unbeaten with 13 and 15 to come. Currently hanging on but not likely to get the win unless a couple step up.

Makes no difference. It reflects directly off Swindon Speedway!

This happened to a Poole bus this season. Car park hitler told them they couldn’t park in the car park!

Gavan even thinks the meeting is tonight. What a complete know-nothing!

Ignore. He’s clearly uneducated.

He’s not worthy of a response. He posts knowing exactly what you have just said. He can’t help himself. He has to respond regardless!

Yes it would be a remarkable achievement if we were to retain the title this season. Certainly massive underdogs against those two teams. We should see off Ipswich but that’s about it. Every speedway fan bar the other teams fans would be cheering us on to a shock win as we are the underdogs this season.

Absolutely correct. Riders don’t turn up to play safe and come through unscathed. They turn up to score as many points as possible. More points - more money. All meetings are the same.

Harris guesting swings it Lynns way completely. But it’s fair enough. Swindon got the luck this time around with Proctor. Be interesting to see if they do chose us or Ipswich.

If Chapman doesn’t doctor the track we could have a decent meeting. Poole need to win to finish top. Not one of our favourite tracks but we did get a result there at the start of the season.

Does Gavan go out of his way to spew utter guff? Post after post of it all saying the same ad nauseous. Has mentioned me in about every post! The bloke needs help!

Good interview this morning on Talksport radio with Tai. Go to 9.32am https://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1568696400/1568709000/

Lawson moved. We all saw it. Ref correct with warning. In fact I don’t believe the ref made one wrong call except not pulling back the rolling King in one heat. Heeps rightly excluded, Iversen rightly excluded though at the time and from where we stand it looked like Josh had knocked him off. Replays proved otherwise.
