That’s P poor.

Klindt into the 1-5 with Kacsper going the other way makes no real difference.

Not sure why all the waffle on here about a meeting called off years ago. The track had an ongoing issue with that area of track right up to last winter when the whole lot was dug up and relaid. Track is now in good order. On to this meeting and am very much looking forward to it. Should be a real battle and excited to see Lambert v Kurtz and Harris. Newman at reserve? Will want to do well in front of his local club. But with Woryna and Jakobsen at 6 and 7 he will have his work cut out. Be suprised if S Lambert troubles the scorers. Weather set fair and a big crowd expected.

Well that was an interesting trip to Leicester. We arrived at Beaumont Leys shopping center at 6pm and went to get something to eat. Having experienced the unacceptable food at the stadium from the sole caterers last time, there was no way they were ever going to get a penny from me again, we though we would find a better solution at the center. Warning. Don’t go to the chippy! Bloody awful. I guess the caterers at the stadium trained there! Are there no decent places to get someting to eat in this area? Served anemic fish and chips and mushy peas. Utter crap. Arriving at the stadium at 6.30 the car park full signs were out on the road so we swung around and managed to park on the road. A walk up and a few mins in a queue nd we were in the stadium. Mentioned in previous visits but no access to pits, and no view of riders before the meeting. A shame. The meeting got away bang on time with the parade at 7.20. Take note other clubs. The centre green announcer was friendly and clear to hear. Even after five 1-5’s on the bounce he was still reasonably chirpy. As for the meeting itself, well it really was one way traffic in the first half of the meeting as Poole powered away to leave Leicester reeling. Even if we missed the start the lads were through down the back straight. Leicester had no answer to the onslaught. A sun break came to their rescue and in the second half they came out more determined and managed to stem the flow, but by then the damage had been done and the 4 points were on their way down south. Decent crowd, who were clearly subdued after being hit hard early on. Racing wise there was a fair bit of passing. Worynas blast around Nicholls before Scott got him back, Harris’s two passes of Scott, Robsons passes of Josh and Freddie. Best meeting for passing I have actually seen at Leicester. Unlike the televised meeting three weeks ago, the gates were much more even as well. I believe the 4 changes Leicester made to the team are clearly to save money. No more airfares for any riders, and riders like Robson, Auty, Mountain and Wright won’t be expensive. Nicholls would be grateful of a team berth after the demise of Rye meaning Hans the only rider costing a lump. Sensible from the Leicester management. For Leicester. Hans battled hard after a torrid first three rides. Wells improved inthe second half. Wright struggled all night. Auty was very poor. Nicholls rode well and had three titanic battles. Robson struggled but beat Kurtz. A couple of people have said the Leicester 1-5 scored the same as Poole’s. The problem is teams have seven riders, not 5. The reserves (a silly name tbh) are part of the team. For Poole. Brady started like a rocket and was a fraction off the track record in heat one. (60.69, record is 60.63) But his two lasts, especially heat 11, was very poor. Josh started poorly but then was solid. Richie won by a mile or was tailed off. Kacsper rode well in his first two, then ran a last and was replaced innheat 14. Chris was pretty much sensational. Aggressive and fast and passed Nicholls twice on lap 3 in two heats. Nicolai showed his liking to the track. Freddie was excellent and only doed one point. Pirates now up to third with three home meetings in hand. Kings Lynn next at home. Mountain was out of his depth.

Perhaps Leicesters team changes were to do with cost cutting and survival rather than strengthening.

Swindon would have a point on us I believe.

You were saying ya numpty?

Where are we in the league? In the playoffs! And going to be just off top if we beat Lynn in 46 hours time. All going very well indeed. We look seriously strong. Happy days!

Whoop whoop. Easy for Poole but probably the best meeting I have seen at Leicester. Some very good passing throughout the meeting and gate 4 worked better tonight.

In Beaumont Leys. Overcast but currently dry. Breezy. Came through a shower just south of Leicester. Glad I brought my jumper with me. Not as warm as down south here!

Poole at full strength. Good news for everyone.

Suprised you have the nerve to show your face on here after being outed a couple of months ago by Pinny.

But then if that was the case Poole would have been granted a facility by the MC, so again no rule broken.

By who?

Interestingly Poole site now has Josh in lineup with no mention of him riding for Lodz. Perhaps the PZM have seen common sense and relented.

Nl 6 pointer or r/r with missing rider receiving fine and 28 day ban.

Josh can’t tell the PZM to stick it. By doing so they would withdraw his license to ride meaning he wouldn’t be able to ride anywhere.

The way I see it (and others won’t) is that none of this is Poole’s fault. From what I can gather Poole had been working to get Josh to Leicester for tonights meeting. But the PZM have refused to budge and won’t allow him to ride here, even though the UK has priority on Mondays. They have said he must ride for Lodz even though it is against the agreements which were put in place to stop this from happening. The rider has been placed in an impossible position by the PZM. Leicester are now trying to use this to their advantage. Rather than accept that Poole can do absolutely nothing about this as it is out of their hands they really should accept that r/r is the fairest solution. Of course the majority on here will completely disagree with the last sentence. If Poole are forced to use a 3 pointer so be it but it is just penalising a club that could do nothing about this situation.

Woryna and Jakobsen at reserve on Wednesday.

He rides on a Polish lisence and the reason he was forced to ride in Poland. r/r so Woryna, Klindt and Jakobsen take his rides.

Why don’t you come down and see for yourself? No reason it won’t be as good as last week.

No Josh tomorrow. He is riding in Poland.

Reserves so strong for Leszno. Hard to beat.

Hope Kurtz shows better form tomorrow than he is showing tonight! Terrble and hesitant.

Can’t understand why people would want to post meaningless clutter about their life. There are real people around to talk to but some people live their whole lives in a virtual world.
