Just announced they do intend to try and complete meeting but hold onto tickets and they will discount next home meeting. Up to when paramedic can get back ad they have gone to a and e.

No getting away from the fact that whatever the result tonight it is meaningless in the scheme of things and riders health is far more important. Really this should be called off I doubt there would be any ill feeling from any fan here if that call was made. Still waiting for ambulance to return.

Sounds like punctured lung for Nico. Get well soon!

Obviously both out of meeting. A real racing accident. Result immaterial now. All three riders climbing over each other. Covatti seemed to clip Berges back wheel which put him down and Richie had no chance as he was right with them. Richie has a air splint on his leg.

Looks like a leg or foot injury for Richie. Ambulance just taken both to Poole Hospital. Wish them both a speedy recovery. Edit. Long delay. No room in ambulance for Richie. Covatti gone first. Another ambulance called for Richie who is on a stretcher on track.

Both Worrall and Covatti on oxygen. Both awake and talking.

Bowser just been going around. Looks like we have just lost two riders, Covatti and Worrall. Both tripping over each other trying to pass Berge. Trip to hospital by look of it. Interval being taken.

Heat 8 poole two riders down ambulance on track.

Nice smmooooooooth track.

Sizzling here still at 7.12pm. Track work continuing. Spoke to Danny Ford who said they had this huge lazer leveller grader on the track and put on 5 to s of fresh new shale guess we will seeif its made any difference in just over 20 mins.

Just shows in Swindon’s case that a strong top end doesn’t mean a championship winning team.

Been an absolute scorcher here today and very windy. Can’t expect anything other than testing conditions from heat 6-7. Nicholls has ridden well at Poole this year and I expect him to easily match Bjerre. Where is Bjerre though? What’s wrong with him? Starke will try as he always does but last time he gated in one and still ended up Stone last. Good luck to him anyway.

NBJ has been off form the last few meetings but rather he rode than a guest.

A newly laid track will be a leveller. I am hoping for a Pirates win for our march up to the top of the table but feel it could be close.

The issue is the base. Cardiffs track is laid on a hard flat surface. The Wimborne road track has an uneven base so it doesn’t matter how much shale is pit on, it doesn’t solve this issue. We’ll soon see if the track problems have been sold on Thursday night.

Wolves fans on twitter saying the Worrall exclusion was a farcical decision by the ref. A shame I couldn’t make it for this one but hope to get there for the B fixture. If Worrall hadn’t been excluded and Kurtz had stayed on in heat 4 we would have got the extra point. Still, a very good win and the team can be proud.

If Wolves had kept Nicholls they would have probably won tonight. Thorsell isn’t doing well anywhere.

Bloody hell DC2, posting on a Poole thread this late in the season? Normally you are hiding by now.

Some Wolves fans on Twitter are saying Schlein should have been excluded for his clash with Worrall.

Must give a thumbs up to bbc radio wm who gave live commentary. Tense to listen to.

Just need top 4. We will be there when it matters. Next stop Thursday and at home to Belle Vue on our newly laid track. Might catch the boys out!

Yyyyyyyeeeeeessssssssss!!!!!!!! 3 points well done you Pirates! Superbwin well done Josh in heat 15 that was a fantastic backs to the walls performance. And to think some on here think we won’t make the playoffs.

We are a good team though lack firepower in heats 13 and 15. Josh and Brady not featuring proves my point. Didn’t expect much tonight so a draw is great.......

That’s 2 points lads! Would have taken that before then meeting but we really should have had the win by now. Wolves off 1-3in heat 15 with Masters and Schlein. Surely they will get the draw.
