Dust inthe lasr 4-5 heats. No watering whatsoever last night. Stuart Dickson was overseeing the track all night. Suprised the track wastn’t watered.

No idea. Perhaps the video company don’t want to give away the best heats. As I said, 13 and 15 were much better heats.

Next Wednesday sees Pirates head up to Somerset for the Premiership A fixture. We have already been to the OTA this season and rode terribly to be easily defeated 52-38 in a terrible KO Cup performance. The team has changed since that night with Worrall and Klindt coming into the side for Shanes and a non firing Kildemand. Poole have improved since then and are a much more solid looking outfit. A narrow defeat at Monmore when we really should have won, and the trouncing of a very sorry looking Kings Lynn team show the team has started to show what it is capable of. What we lack with a big hitter we make up with in being a solid 1-7, who are all capable of winning a heat. With the added bonus of Woryna currently in a reserve berth. Somerset have proved to be very strong at home and I expect them to win this. However, I believe it will be a far more competitive meeting the the KO cup fixture and think Poole could come away from this with at least a point. Thoughts?

Wasn’t race of the night at all. 13 and 15 far better races.

He was announced as a Bournemouth footballer! You can hear it on the video clip!

Rosco going mental at a trainee ref. Really, the word is trainee and therefore a ref that is likely to make errors. Does Rosco believe a trainee ref is not likely to make a mistake? When Rosco became a team manager was he perfect from the start? a silly rant in the local rag.

Well that really was a team effort against a rider. Stand up Robert Lambert and take a bow. Was brilliant until his last two rides. Pirates finally clicked as a team tonight. Sure the opposition was very poor bar one rider but a few weeks ago KL would probably have got a point. No chance tonight with every Poole rider getting at least one race win. Should have hit 60 tonight but for two silly falls to Woryna and Kurtz, who hobbled off in heat 13. Hope it’s nothing serious. Some very good racing with special mention to Richie Worrall whose last two rides brought the house down. In heat 13 Iversen led but Worrall got through only for Kurtz to fall and a rerun. In the rerun the KL boys were on a 5-1 but Worrall first passed Robert Lambert then went after Iversen and got him with a superb cutback. In heat 15 he did it again to join an excellent Sundstrom for a 5-1. Here’s clip I shot of Lamberts welcome.

Track just got the big thumbs up from Brady. Looks very good Stewart Dickson here overseeing it. Matt Richie here supporting Pirates.

No changes after a certain date though.

With Lambert wanting to leave Kings Lynn during last winter, and not being allowed to, he is probably right for the picking at the end of the season. Just the type of rider who would look good in the skull and crossbones of Poole. Would compliment Brady at the top end. Matt should be making enquiries.

He doesn’t have a work permit plus personal issues which are frankly none of our business.

Track is fine. Loads of work done on it over the weekend. When prepared propely its one of the best race tracks in the country. Personally I preferred it with bumps. Smoothing it out just give away home advantage.

No reason why he won’t.

Thanks Dean but don’y do Facebook any more. Will catch the meeting later on Youtube. Next one at 6pm.

Bloody goldvod is down today. Cant find a decent stream. Both those listed dont seem to work.

Thought it was the wrong call to be honest.

See Bewley has the Poles in raptures with his debut. Considering the opposition is so weak its no suprise but the Poles never saw it coming. Well done to him on a debut to remember.

I for one have been a critic of Woofinden. Not riding in Britain and turning his back on his country saw me see red. He lost my support in GPs and he still has. But I am man enough to say that he put in a cracking performance for GB and was clearly the best rider on show over the week. Well done to him.

One more year for Lambert nd 2 for Bewley and we can go all the way.

Always likely unfortunately against Russia. Still proud of the boys.

Bummer

Whatever happens now we can be proud of GB. Not often we have had the opportunity to say that.

Shame it wasnt a Russian. They are clear favourites now.

Poland out. Russia through due to tapes. Final the same way? Pray not.

It’s going to be a case of let Woffinden go and block Lambert. There’s a chance though.
