Don’t think anyone can serious read anything into a Poole defeat tonight with the team we have put out. It’s a shame we are not competitive tonight as it’s on tv but we have had some rotten luck with injuries.

It was awarded 4-2 to Belle Vue as it should have been. Covatti exc as cause of stoppage.

Garbage GP. Small crowd, poor racing overall. Worst one of the year easily.

Just shows that bt have much smaller subscription levels than Sky.

I should imagine he would say much improved, as we can all see for ourselves when we have attended.

Don’t see it. I think BV will struggle to qualify for the playoffs to be honest.

What do they say then?

We can write this one off but are still top and easily going to qualify for the playoffs. As long as the Poole riders give their all and give a good account of themselves that’s all we can ask.

Digging their hole in to the freshly watered shale and making a hole is easy enough to do. Me thinks fans are trying to deflect the defeat Lynn suffered. Track rode great.

Then we will not get anything out of this one. Extremely weak Pirates team. I know it currently can’t be helped but we will be cannon fodder with that lineup.

Absolutely they are. Poole have been almost completely dominant for the past 20 years. Anything to bash them even if the Lynn riders made the hole themselves, as witnesses]d by Skidder. Perhaps Matt should bill them for vandalism.

He had a good meeting at Poole last season. Michael Palm Toft - 0, 1, 2', 2', 1, F/X = 6+2 Read more: http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/18438/kings-lynn-premiership-play-final#ixzz5sp8eujVn

Replying to RayC. You never heard of a little bit of light banter? Some get far too serious on here.

The track has been rectified. Smooth and new shale. Rides beautifully. All done with huge laser grader a couple of weeks ago.

Always bigger viewing figures when Poole are on TV. BT would show us every week if they could.

You can clearly see a heel has gone in and pushed down. It’s even foot shaped!

Just a KL fan grovelling for excuses.

BT’s love affair with the champs continues this Monday with the Pirates visit to Kings Lynn. My guess is the viewing figures are higher when Poole are on TV. We are on a 5 meeting winning streak and showing signs of good confidence. Kings Lynn were dispatched fairly easily last night and will certainly be out for revenge. Poole will be hoping Brady Kurtz is fit to ride and will have to find two guests at reserve to replace Covatti, who will be missed on his current form, and Busk Jakobsen who looks to be suffering from appendicitis and had an aborted return to the team last night. Question marks over Jorgensen for Lynn who pulled out last night for no obvious reason. Certainly not an on track issue. Hopefully a good meeting. We have no real answer to Lambert and Cook and they could get Lynn over the line. Think a point is achievable, possibly more. Pirates have to hit the track running and not allow Lynn to build ip an early lead.

Good honest post Bob. Looks to me that one of the riders dug their heel in and dragged it back on a soft patch due to watering. No issues whatsoever during the meeting. Lots of fake news on here about the Poole track by people hundreds of miles away from last nights meeting. They should have come along to witness the champs in action. Pretty sure they would have been entertained.

Because I should imagine one of the Lynn riders dug their heel in and dragged it back. Quite clear it had just been made. Not one single issue with the track last night. Flat out racing with plenty of passing. Seems to me there are people on here willing for the Poole track to be bad. Its not the case anymore. Sorry to disappoint! Five wins on the bounce. Confidence running high. Top of the league. On our way to retaining our title yet again. Happy days!

There was no hole on bend three. The track is smooth and in good condition. Best it’s been in a long time.

Were you there? I believe I and the rest of the Poole fans actually witnessed the incident, so have an eye witness viewpoint. Why don’t you just admit Cook rode dirty in heat 15?

Thanks for posting. Terrible crash. Covatti hopes to be back for Ipswich on 18th July. Richie will probably be out for season.

He didn’t see what the crowd saw.
