Lets hope it’s better than the drivel served up from here in the last televised meeting. Forecast is set fair so no excuses.

Wolves to lose. Looks like “the stars” all aligned for them in this one.

Can we ride Ipswich every week?

Wells isn’t a Poole type of rider. We are not used to seeing a rider tailed off like that. Run lasts, yes but always battling. To be 50 metres behind is frankly unacceptable but nothing we can do about it now. Wells seems to have lost what he had. Howarths injury certainly helps Wolves and his absence has come at the perfect time for them. He occasionally has a good ride but the guys who replace him will score much more. Schlein, Morris, Becker and Douglas can all take a ride. Douglas showed his liking for the Poole track on his one and only visit. Schlein and Morris know the track well and Becker scored paid double figures last time Wolves were here. We could witness Wolves getting the points they require to jump above Belle Vue into the playoffs. We need to be right on it from the start to get a win. Also Josh needs to be back from injury or we are stuffed.

Howarth was at reserve last week.

A big meeting for both clubs on Thursday. Poole need the win to keep up the pressure on Swindon for battle of the top spot while Wolves are in a desperate situation of needing a win or a bare minimum point to keep their hopes alive of making the playoffs. For the first time in months Poole ride at home a full 1-7 with the arrival of THJ. Covatti to 2. For Wolves Howarth dislocated his shoulder last night so they might need to bring in a replacement. Thoughts?

Where’s the parking? Car park would be full an hour before the start. Overflow car park?

He has already said he wasn’t there.

But you were not there. Stop trying to make out that you were by wording it like that. You have as much idea as I have as to what happened.

Part of the sport. Hate it when an opposition rider does it, but demand it the other way around. The rule was brought in to put his team mate off 15 metres but was removed. Not sure why.

I had him blocked for 18 months but took him off to see if he had improved his attitude. Even made a post holding out an olive branch a month ago. He just replied calling me a troll which led to yet another ban. He spends his life on Poole threads slagging us off. A very strange person.

Last time Gavan was at a speedway meeting his uncle chucked a tenner over the pits fence to Mark Loram at Hackney. You have more chance of meeting Lord Lucan riding Shergar than actually bumping into the Poole hating mega troll.

So you were just trolling when you said just a few days ago that Swindon would win the league? Dear oh dear you have been completely caught out there. You can’t have it both ways. Swindon are favourites by the proverbial mile on current form. Everyone knows that. If you don’t believe that’s the case it proves you know very little about the sport. Utter Poole hating troll.

Says someone who is now pretending to have been there.

What a great meeting tonight. Really enjoyed that.

Reverted to form. Rode above themselves for the first part of the season.

38-52

If Poole were riding like Swindon currently are the bunting would already be out with the champagne in the chiller. What can go wrong for Swindon? (other than an unfortunate injury) Favourites at the bookies and with fans of the sport. For a change we are genuine underdogs.

Not started yet. A problem?

Ipswich have zero chance against Swindon or Poole. Poole need to finish top to go to BV. But honestly there’s no team to stop Swindon this season.

No he will come on saying if Heeps wasn’t injured they would have cruised it.

Your top 5 have all clicked at the same time and reserves scoring a few as well. Robins will win both legs of final no matter who they race against. IMO.

Ipswich are gone. Dead. Finished. Swindon will slaughter the Witches. Poole would have come away with 4 points tonight had Josh been riding. Heeps was missing but his form has gone the same way as the rest of that side. But let’s be honest here. With the form Swindon are in, there’s really no stopping them from going unbeaten through the rest of the season including the playoffs. Can’t see anyone getting near them on their current form. And Swindon fans know this as well. Only thing to stop them is injury and I wouldn’t wish that on them.

Can we race Ipswich every week?

Yes get in there boys! Take a Win any day! And without Josh as well who we only got paid 6 from.
