Yes I correct that in my post but wasn’t quick enough! just watching it now and when Woryna fell there was no way he did it on purpose or could have got up from that. The ref was completely wrong. The rules is there for a team on a 5-1 and one of the riders at the back lays it down to get a rerun. That wasn’t the situation last night. No wonder Nicolai was aggrieved. Ref massively favouring Kings Lynn in every decision.

What a very sad loser. If Kings Lynn had come back and won it last night I doubt you would have found a single Poole fan who wouldn’t have congratulated the stars. You posts shows you up to be a very poor loser.

Well first of all, what a fabulous victory! Wooohooooo! Arrived into the stadium early last night to watch Buster dump tons of shale on the track. He forgot the potatoes though! Very big crowd last night. But throughout the night the Pirates kept them relatively quiet. Most of the noise coming from the couple of hundred Poole fans who made the long trip up from Dorset. Really though, Why didn’t the ref exclude Jorgensen in heat 3? Both wheels clearly over the white line. Then later he stuck Nicolai off 15 metres. Did he actually think Woryna laid it down on purpose to get a rerun? Ref failed Poole three times to give Kings Lynn advantage. Shocking. In heat 9 Jorgensen ploughs into Morris. Clearly an unsatisfactory start but the ref let it go. If those calls had been the other way around this forum would have gone into meltdown. Middlo, who has clearly been the best manager in the league for a long, long time, again showed why with a cool head and motivating his team. Well done Niel. Commiserations to Kings Lynn. We know what it’s like to finish top and lose out. But those first 5 heats at Wimborne Road sealed your fate. A team can’t turn up at their most important meeting of the season and not be prepared or in the correct mind frame. They were simply blown away, just like Belle Vue were when Poole went there in 2015. The final starts in heat one first leg. As I predicted before the meeting started the track was set up grippy meaning very little in the way of passing. Not a meeting for the neutral or Poole hater to enjoy. Winning the playoff final is far more important than the racing spectacle. There’s just too much at stake.

Heard the club is up for sale with offers over £500,000. You get more than a couple of tractors and some shale. A new owner should be making a profit within a couple/three seasons. Many sponsors with the main sponsor paying around £100,000 a year.

Crap thread.

Woooooohoooooooo!!!!! Champs! Magic boys what an effort!

Rider parade just taken place. Riders struggling on the bends.

Just arrived in Kings Lynn after a 4.40 minute journey. Traffic bad around Ely. Currently sitting in Pizza hut enjoying a pre meeting meal before heading over to the stadium in a bit. Lovely amd warm here. Blue skies.

Route planner shows a34 way to be about 15 mins longer. Might take the gamble and go that way.

Leaving for the very long trek up to Kings Lynn at lunchtime. Hopefully there’s quite a few Poole fans also heading up. Leaving early rather than get caught in long traffic jams on the M25/M11. What time do the gates open?

Lol. I hope you realised my post was posted light heartedly.

Howarth is illegal. Don’t the rules state that no member of a semi final losing team can guest in the final? OK he’s a wolves rider but rode for Somerset in the semi final at Poole. Plenty of time for Kings Lynn to find someone else.

So what do people on here think about Kings Lynn putting out an illegal team tonight?

Through all this anti Poole mud slinging I come across a this post that has nailed it perfectly. Well done that man.

Its unfortunate. But it’s not Poole’s fault. What are we meant to do? Roll over and let you win?

The rule had been poorly written. It was tagged on at the bottom of the section but above underlined was Premiership and championship ko cup. It was ambiguous and the line should have been above the underlined line. The simple solution as Pirate Nick has said, is that the scb should have told Lynn to find another guest. Poole have been dragged into a mess not of their making.

On that I agree.

Needs to ride over here to have any impact.

Come and say hello. My post wasn’t threatening in any way. I was trying to defuse dizzy arsed stars ranting.

Went and had a chat with Trees and the Kings Lynn fans on the second bend last night.

No he wanted Morris. Totally fine. But he couldn’t have Morris for the second leg so booked Ellis.

It was Allit booking Ellis at Poole which caused all this mess. He must have known it would cause major issues.

Why? It wasn’t threatening. I will be on the first bend tomorrow night. I have dusted off my old Poole jacket so will be easy to spot. Happy to say hello to anf Kings Lynn fans and have a chat.
