What the hell is Rosco doing? Not sensible even if they get away with it. Which did. Just. But why take unnecessary risks?

He moved. Twice.

In Poland Iversen would have been excluded as the SM brings them right up to the tapes.

The cameramen, or director, are clearly not used to the fast speed of the bikes and who to follow. If there is a run in to the line for minor places they might not get it.

Good race!

Madsen surprisingly having a poor start to the meeting.

I wouldn’t have used Cook. Lambert needs a run out! Hope Cook proves me wrong.....

Nothing wrong with heat 2 other than riders not following start marshall’s orders. They messed themselves up. Green light came on and they pulled back.

Nothing. Madsen not ready then rider in gate 4 looked across.

Farcical heat 2.

And to add to the confusion Josh rode in Ipswich Kevlars!

Track was fine. Harris was passing for fun. My guess is those that said the track was bad were nowhere near Wimborne Road.

I believe Both teams picked the top two in the supporters vote.

Nick Morris was with Josh in the pits and said he is ready to start in the next couple of weeks.

One thing was proved completely tonight. There is nothing wrong with the Poole track, as Chris Harris showed tonight. Made some superb passes and extremely fast. The Wimborne Road Track certainly brings the best out of him. ‘Poor crowd tonight. The effect of the debacle of the Easter meeting, together with footy on tv and a meaningless fixture and that’s the result. A shame as some of the racing was very good, nearly always around Chris Harris. Ipswich led from heat one and were solid as a unit. Gating better and really the meeting should have been out of the Pirates reach before we got to the business end. But Pirates never give up, as Belle Vue found out on Monday. ‘We had to get a result in heat 14 over Harris and Lawson and Holder, after a terrible first heat, went unbeaten. Blasting from the tapes Harris just couldn’t catch him meaning we had a chance in heat 15. With Ipswich winning the toss and choosing 2 and 4, I would have thought we would have had the outside gates in the final heat but again Ipswich had 2 and 4. Ref mistake? Finally the two Poole boys gated and KP packed up after a couple of laps leaving Nicholls and Josh clear to claim the win, the first time we led in the whole meeting. I was surprised Allen didn’t get an extra ride for King, who had some bad luck.

Because 460 Ipswich fans voted on twitter for Harris and Lawson to be in heat 14.

Yes much better. No dust and Harris passing for fun.

Ipswich started well fast out the gate.

Heard him say it. Poole bound?

Nick Morris here said he is fit to ride in two weeks.

Poor call by the bbc to ditch the met office.

Stop talking rubbish. Pooles track is still way better than Swindon’s Improved track for racing. Yes it’s been poorly prepared but still one of the best tracks in the country when it’s prepared properly. And stop deflecting. This meeting should never have been called off so early.

Why has this been called off? Showers forecast but no deluge.

I just cancelled a week in Italy flying out Sunday and it’s 4 weeks to France. Iffy at best whether I shall go. It’s clean beak and I can feel the two ends of the bone rub together when I move the arm. I am hoping for a rain off.

Watched the heats only, fast forwarded through everything else.
