Yes.

Lucky that this team has only one more meeting next week then, isn’t it?

Playing by the rules. They are not illegible.

Poole didn’t give away any points. 3 in the bag.

Wasn’t illegible.

Sometimes I just know. All these people saying 60-30 etc have little idea. Rye had 4 track specialists in their lineup. It was never going to be a one sided affair like some predicted. what is amazing though is that the Rye team manager failed to use a t/r. I had already filled in KK for heat 11 when Summers came trundling around. Rye got a 4-2 but with KK it would have been a nailed on 5-1. Add the throw away heat 13 when Rye were on a 5-1 and I can happily sit here smiling at our win. Paid 6 from the Kildemand/Holder spot in the team shows how weak we are at the moment. Kurtz was woeful tonight. More up and down that Zebedee. Linus had his best meeting for us. Woryna was bad out of the gate then all over the place. Lost paid 2 when his cutout came out on the last bend. Josh had a new engine and was improved. Spanner was solid. Nielsen was excellent. Good reserve pairing. For Rye Harris should have gone through the card but fell in heat 13. Summers did his job. KK looked unbeatable but was then 5-1’d. Nicholls was excellent. Kennett was woeful, as were the reserves. So 3 nice crisp points in the bag for Poole. Ned From the Echo reported Piotr Pawlicki had been seen in Poole today by two seperate people. Make of that what you will. Up the Pirates!

Rye House failed to use a t/r. Had to scribble out kk!

Rye win toss and take 1 and 3.

Start delayed tractors trying to sort track. Another ten mins perhaps. Heavy rain in Pole late morning until 3pm. Looking much better now.

Now been decided to blade the track off. Could be a delayed start to the meeting.

And would be the final nail in the coffin of British speedway.

Track looking very heavy and deep due to rain today. Will certainly suit Harris.

Seems to be working just fine. Hardly any guests because of no fixture clashes. Never was designed to bring back GP riders.

All cleared now. Hopefully the meeting will go ahead.

This has all the look of a potential banana skin. No Worrall means Josh will get an extra ride which is bad news, unless we give the ride to spanner where there’s more chance of points. This is going to be close.

Finally watched the meeting. Some good racing at times. Heat 9 in particular. Why on earth was the crowd so small though? I just don’t believe that because Belle Vue have switched to a Monday it has taken 500 off the gate. Wolves ride Mondays. Fans come out. If ManU played on a Monday is there only 45,000 there? No. Perhaps the BV management need to start more advertising as the product is good. Good stadium, good facilities, great racing. No excuse not to have a full grandstand. As for the meeting, it went as expected. Swindon in the mix but gradually running out of steam. Weak reserves their achilies heel.

He was absolutely superb and a joy to watch. KK just didn’t know what was happening. Funny how Gavan is desperately trying to diss Woryna with a slight luke warm praise but those that witnessed the race all appreciated the lad. Had some old boy Rye fans sitting with us who all gave him a clap. One said to me, “that’s what speedway is all about!”.

Woryna was brilliant in two rides last night. Two superb passes after a first ride to suss the track out. Most entertaining rider on view. The move on Kk was breath taking.

Josh looks like Watt in hos final season. No form whatsoever. Jakobsen gave him a stiff fist corner and he pulled up! It was a gaters meeting last night and Brady didn’t gate once. Attempted to get a flyer, missed it completely but the ref came to his rescue by calling it back after he had penalised himself. Still didn’t take advantage innthe rerun. After Nielsen, our best rider was Woryna who took one race to suss out the track then made some superb passes. Going past KK like he was standing still was the highlight of the meeting.

If there is I will chuck in a tenner.

A well won point in the end but there was a chance of three to be honest. Brady struggled out of the starts and Josh was worse than useless. Big up for Nielsen who was sensational, and was sounlucky in heat 14 when well clear in heat 14 but had an ef on the back straight if lap 4. Woryna showed his class with a couple of superb rides and a brilliant pass of KKon his first ever visit. Best performance for Poole this year. Josh’s form is very bad. Must be on borrowed time. If Holder was riding I feel we would have had the fire power to have won tonight. Pirate fans can be reassured that at reserve we had serious strength. Much improved but a long way to go.

I am not going to apologise for a light hearted comment aimed at DC. Already wished Mitchell Davey a speedy recovery on another thread but will repeat it here.

On our way up the M3 as I type this. Expect nothing out of this.

Hahaha. Some people need to get a life I am sure DC took it the way it was meant. Some real saddos on here.

Get walking then DC. We have a nice pier you can walk off down here in Bournemouth.
