Well he just dropped it on his own with no one near him and was allowed back in to win. Shocking call by ref.

Somerset totally gifted a point they didn’t desrve. Absolute howler leaving Worrall in heat 12 when we had Woryna winning races for fun. Couldn’t believe that, as Somerset gain a point. Another big big crowd here today. Poole always in control of the meeting though Kurtz was extremely poor and Worrall so slow, the same as last week. The rest of the Poole team were OK though Klindts through the tapes then a last was poor. Star of the show was Kasper Woyna who only dropped on point to the opposition. Did I say he should have had an extra ride? For Poole. Brady was poor. 5 points from a number one? Josh battled well. Klindt started poorly but improved. Worrall was poor. Did I say he was slow? Harris threw away a point in his first but was solid. Woryna was excellent. Jakobsen was pretty good. For Somerset. Doyle looked unbeatable until heat 15 when outgated by Woyna. He then stopped. Looked like he had knackered himself. Summers had one good ride. Covatti wasn’t very good bar one ride. Holder was poor. Arnio did a good job. N B Jakobsen impressed before running out of steam. Three points to take us back to the top but we are far better than this and to gift Somerset a point was poor.

Grandstand now virtually full. Crowd coming in late.

Lindback rang Ford with belly ache. No chance for Matt to do anything but r/r and we were stuffed before a wheel had turned.

Considering Poole took hundreds to Somerset, it seens Rebels fans havent travelled the other way.

Track is being watered with bowser. Edit beat me to it FB. Spoke to Arnio he has had 1 hour sleep.

Everyone here. Doyle just arrived. Crowd building.

Track looks good.

Just opened gate. Will let you know in a few mins.

Tom Brennan steps in for Smith tonight. No news on Morris guess he rides.

Any news on Morris? Would rather face a full strength team than one weakened.

Just looked at speedway updates and Morris won his last ride then withdrew from the meeting. No mention of any crash. Perhaps it was just down to track conditions?

What is Poole’s record at Swindon? Answer is, not very good. We tend to implode around heat 10 and come away losing by 8. It will probably be the same tomorrow night though there is not too much playing on it. As long as we pick up something tomorrow from the 2 meetings the playoffs are done.

Thats the problem with riders like Fricke. They don’t realise the throttle goes both ways and the speed of the bike was more than his ability.

It was at Leicester. Do you have a clue about any of this event as so far you have proved yourself to be completely ignorant of every single fact so far!

Lindback rode one meeting then failed to show saying he had belly ache. Andersen was out for the season. We went to Wolves with no main heat leader.

No they can’t terrible error. I was gobsmacked when I saw Tarnows selection.

When I saw Gora’s selection tarnow had an open goal. They missed and the ball hit the corner flag. Manager needs the sack.

Tarnow blew it with their selection. Idiots!

I am confused. Why didn’t Tarnow go for it in heat 14 as a 5-1 would have virtually done it for them?

No he didn’t. He attempted to ride in one meeting but his broken hand was too painful and his season was over. It was so bad it affected the start of the following season. We ended up going to Wolves with r/r and ran out of steam in the last few races as we had no heat leaders. Kyle Newman rode his socks off to keep us in it. If Andersen had been fit he would have ridden. The x-ray photographs showed how bad it was. His problem was not being able to drop the clutch at starts. He even tried using his other hand but failed.

Thanks Dave, he clearly does his research. It’s a shame you can’t be there as well as I always feel two commentators bouncing off each other is better. Costs probably prevent it.

Who is the commentator?

It takes approx 3.5 hours from Poole to Leicester. However, the area is packed out with weekenders who will all be heading home on Monday afternoon/evening. If the meeting runs smoothly, it should be completed by 2.30. But with the amount of rain we have had today the start “might” be delayed. If it runs on time he will be on the road by 2.45/3pm. If it’s clear he will be at Leicester by 6-6.30. If the roads are bumper to bumper through the New Forest and M27, then joining the M3 to the A34, he will be in trouble getting to Leicester on time.

Talking out your arse as usual. 2016 no replacements our season was ruined. Andersens season over caused by an out of control Fricke.
