  1. Car park was full about 6 pm last night. Next week it will be chocker even earlier though people who park there during the day will be freeing up spaces. Somerset only had a few fans there last nightvand I doubt we will see many Kings Lynn fans making the very long journey on a Monday.
  2. Certainly if we manage to win the championship this season it will be an absolutely stunning effort from the boys. But I wouldn’t put it past them. We can do this.
  3. Every single year we get the rolled out and tired comments of the real champs are the ones who finish top blah de blah de blah. No, the champs are the team who win the playoffs. Have been for most of this century. The playoffs are brilliant and here to stay. All the speedway league have playoffs and they bring out huge crowds. What’s not to like?
  4. The correct team being the mighty Poole in my book. We deserve it with our run. Poole finished 24 points ahead of Coventry in 2010 but Coventry won it. That’s life. The playoff are what it’s all about. Long may they reign.
  5. Thats the way the cookie crumbles. Kings Lynn now face Poole without Brady. We are the weakened team. That;s the way the cookie crumbles. Last year Swindon took on Wolves in the final, who were without Thorsell and Freddie. And so it goes on........
  6. Time to say it. Poole can win another title. One more lads for Matt and Middlo. Kings Lynn don’t look that much. They are vunerable in the middle order with Proctor and Jorgensen, and Simon Lambert at reserve. Sure they have a good top two with Lambert and Iversen, but they will need Riss and Toft to be firing on top form. Sure they are even bigger favourites with Brady out, but we know how to win it. Been there got the tshirt. We have got to within 2 points of them at Saddlebow this year and in both the A and B fixtures, beaten them on aggregate. If we can win by 10 next week we will have every chance. The boys will be fired up and its doable. Bring it on!
  7. Not a hollow victory at all. Looking forward to next Monday and hoping for a healthy lead from the boys for the second leg. Up the Pirates!
  8. So you are calling Jason Doyle corrupt. I should think he will not be pleased with you calling him corrupt.
  9. You say it isn’t sour grapes but then the whole post is sour grapes. we didn’t have any luck either we lost Brady who would have probably scored more than Holder. Holder has been quite poor at Poole this year. Yes your post is full of ifs, buts and maybe’s. And so of Somerset made the final you would want Kings Lynn to win because if Somerset won it, by your own admission, it would be a travesty. Be honest. You were beaten by a better team over the two legs.
  10. It is still a major error to not have a number 8. They could have been used twice in any of the middle heats, and made no difference to the scoreline. But Covatti or Allen could have been used in a 13 and to replace Howarth. Somerset made a howler by not having cover.
  11. Accidents happen in speedway. This eventuality could have been foreseen and Somerset should have had a number 8 just for this scenario.
  12. Wrong. He could have used Allen or Covatti. But he decided not to have a number 8. Somersets own making only having three riders in one heat.
  13. He got a paid win in his last race. Aaron Summers -- 1', 3, 3, 2' = 9+2 Read more: http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/18196/peterborough-championship-18-08-2018?page=1#ixzz5SlyC0IUS Must have happened riding back to the pits.
  14. Careful. You are not allowed to give any praise to the Poole track. You have to say its rubbish. That’s the rule on the bsf for non Poole fans.
  15. I would go with r/r at Poole, as Josh, Nicolai, Kasper and a reserve can take his rides. Most certainly weakens us but would rather use riders in the right frame of mind for a final and not just another meeting to pick up a bit of points money. At Kings Lynn Matt will have to get in a decent guest but there’s not much choice. Go for a gater though as it’s nealy all from the tapes. Watched Garcia and Berge wobbling about in their rides, then gate and were untroubled.
  16. Then it’s Somersets fault for not having a number 8. They could have used a number 8 in a couple of heats, freeing up Covatti or Allen for heat 13 and/or 14. A fault of their own making.
  17. Poole didn’t have any guest riders. edit. I see you have realised your mistake.
