Bit of a thumping tonight, made far worse with Josh’s injury. Any chance of a point went when he was knocked off. Ipswich looking like they are going to miss out on the playoffs.

I heard it was Douglas fault. Guess we will here more later. Josh was leading and got knocked off.

Josh hip injury.

Said on updates it was a bad call to exclude Wells.

Same here. Not worth a day in traffic in hot weather.

You there fb? What happened with The Exc?

Wells unfairly excluded. Game over tonight with no Josh. But we were chasing anyway. Just lost the chance of a point. Hope Josh is ok and it’s just precautionary.

Well we haven’t got long. Just a few days before no new signings.

I hope Wolves make top 4. Ideally Swindon v Wolves and Poole v Ipswich as the semis. Realistically a point will be good. As it’s on a bank holiday Monday and with the amount of traffic heading away from the Dorset area tomorrow I won’t make the trip up on this occasion. No fun being stuck in horrific traffic jams when I can be doing other things. Hopefully a good meeting.

Super disappointing duo to make it through. Fricke, ok, but the other two? Big yawn.

Fricke ok, but the other two? Yawn.

Where has any Poole fan said riders don’t lose form? Someone talking the usual crap. The Ipswich riders rode above themselves but have now reverted to form. But this should be on the Ipswich forum not Pooles

I congratulated Swindon on their win. They are rivals so not going to be too nice.

Just got back after being detoured through the bloody new forest as the A31 was shut. Credit to Swindon for a very good strong performance tonight and we couldn’t live with them. But really we should at least got close to a point had our number one showed up and Brady hadn’t gone into the tapes. Two points from Holder is not good enough. In heat one of all his meetings it’s either 1 or 0. If I get time I shall go back and check but he gets beaten by riders he should be beating in heat one every week. Decent sized crowd but expected it to be bigger than that. This will probably be the final as well so we need to sharpen up. Too often we we left standing at the tapes but the ref did allow some huge rollers, one from Ellis and heat two from Perks the obvious ones. But no complaints. Beaten by the better team who now have the label of clear favourites going into the playoffs. For a change we don’t have that pressure on us or the expectation. As for the track, far superior to the old race circuit. Plenty of passing tonight.

A couple of seasons ago he sat in front of us lot in the grandstand at Poole. Rather than introduce himself he got all huffy, then stormed out after heat 13 with his tail between his legs after Swindon were thumped. Hilarious stuff.

Mods should be able ti see ip addresses.

Rosco leaves is post.

So far down? If he came back only Doyle would be above him. He still scored well for Toruń this year and though past his best would still be a top man here.

Most thoroughly enjoyed last nights meeting. You are in the minority.

I think we will be fine. If we get a point it will be ok. A win at Ipswich next Thursday has to be the target though Ipswich won’t be as poor as last week. We don’t have the fire power in 13 and 15 so an 8 point gain is almost guaranteed. No silly falls or dropped points at reserve and it could be close. I am hoping for a classic. ‘By the way is Gavan banned yet again? Thought he would have been on saying how well Swindon did last night and they are clear favourites for the league blah de blah....

It’s actually 70 miles from my house. But faster to go Winchester, A34, M4. 97 miles but 8 mins faster.

Should win at Ipswich. Wolves are good at home and might get a point but will be hard. Should beat Ipswich at home.

Newman had three rides. He had to come out in heat 14. He was swapped out in heat 8.

No way Lynn will make top 4. Their away form is pretty rubbish.
