Get stuffed.

Wooohooo.

But zmarzlik has the inside gates. Cant see Woffinden making the final. Hope I am wrong.
-
Inthink Zmarzliks got this. He is at the top of his game, is having a huge rub with the rerun and Woffinden has bashed himself and came out on a slow bike. Hope I am wrong.
-
It could all be lost on the Polish ref excluding Woffended for the so called “delaying the start gate”.
-
How many times does that happen? A rider is nowhere and it is stopped and in the rerun wins it.
-
As always with reruns, the leaders never lead second time around. Lady luck with Zmarzlik.
-
When luck is with you you win titles. Zmarzlik wont mess up this second chance.
-
Woffinden on a slow bike last ride. Need to get engines switched over.
-
Goes to show no favours being given between the riders, which is good to see.
-
Oh dear. Bad bad bad. Very lucky to get away with that.
-
Woffinden will hopefully have it sewn up before the semis.
-
This could go down to the wire. I hope not though.

We are also coming up and it’s the absolute worst of journeys. Certainly worth leaving no later than mid day as you never know what delays will be on route. Even worse coming back as half the roads are normally closed for maintainance adding at least a further hour on the trip. Guess we will float back if we win but it will feel twice as far if we are defeated. There’s very little to do in Kings Lynn when you get there. Has a quay but little in the way of tourism. The town isn’t worth a visit. I tend to head to the retail park off the big roundabout for something to eat before heading into the stadium. There’s a Pizza Hut there which is better than the stadium cafe/outlet. In the past Poole fans tend to congregate on the first bend. A decent view and you can see into the pits.

So Poole fans, what type of lead do we need to take to Kings Lynn and defend? Will 8 points be enough? 10? 16? We only lost there by 2 in the A fixture but the Kings Lynn lineup has changed with Garrity out and Riss in, which strengthened them considerably, allowing Toft to reserve. Poole are the same 1-7 but have a different riding order and of course no Brady. In the B fixture Kings Lynn won at a canter 58-32. The reason why Kings Lynn are such one sided favourites for the title? I think we will need at least 12 to give ourselves a chance. Any less than that and we could be all square before we have got ourselves dialled into the track. Our main problem is Kings Lynn have a much stronger 1 and 5. Lambert and Iversen v Harris and ? Is a big problem in 13 and 15. And Toft at reserve can have 7 rides which is a big advantage.
