Can't see this being on. Rain is about to hit and even if the track had good drainage it would be quite something to survive in raceable conditions. The perfect opportunity for track covers to do a job.

I said this an hour ago. A line of thunderstorms on the leading edge as well. Hopefully they will miss but a good 2 hours of rain behind it. When is the rain off day?

Lets hope that big area of rain heading south from the Lake district isn't going to hit. But judging by the speed it is moving 7 pm seems about right. Fingers crossed it misses. When the rain off date?

Glad it has been sorted, albeit with some luck. Should now be a good exciting meeting.

All kicking off in the pits! Riot police arrived! Can't wait till next week. Evenly balanced.

Even nastier second crash with Milik and Pawlicki. Milik lucky to not be excluded gifting a 5-0.

Bspa could put the squeeze on riders entering the sec. ride in the sec, and a round clashes with a league meeting, is a 28 day ban. Make riders think twice about entering this two bit tournament.

If we ride like we did at Somerset it will certainly make it interesting.

Nice poll to guage fans opinions. https://goo.gl/b9hDnX Stick it up on your twitter, facebook, instagram etc and lets have a decent amount voting.

Gogglegate? How was that Poole breaking the rules? Newmans goggles came apart at the starting gate and rather risk a two minute exclusion decided to ride without them. Not even as serious as a tapes exclusion but opposition fans were trying to jump on anything in desperation. Next you will be saying Poole are cheats because Andersen sometimes gets away with a roller. Truth is Poole haven't allegedly "cheated" for years. Now Swindon on the other hand.................

When was the last time Poole allegedly broke any rules? Years ago with Proctor at Peterborough, which Matt Ford quickly put his hands up to not realising the 5% was only for home fixtures. A genuine mistake sorted next day. Most of the "Poole cheating" is not cheating at all. Swindon now seem the team who are breaking rules and not even owning up to them and trying to get away with it. A simple statement admitting a mistake had been made and requesting the scores be changed would be enough. Instead we get silence from the management with their fans backing the mistake by saying its too late to change the score. Pretty disgraceful to be honest.

Lisa, Gavan doesn't do humour. It was blatantly obvious to everyone bar one or two that my post was humourous.

And as expected my stalker appears. So predictable.

You should know he is hardly worthy of a response. Trolls the poole threads and stalks my posts. To say we are rubbish proves it as we made the playoffs! And what would he say if we beat Swindon next week to make the final? Still rubbish? Making the final will be a tall order but if we all click together it's not an impossible task.

Troll troll troll troll troll. Poole are in the playoffs. How is that rubbish? Troll!

Well considering Belle Vue will have to track a nl 6 pointer this semi is game over. Wolves fans rubbing their hands together with glee already and straight through to the final winning both legs with ease. What a shame and waste of time this season has been.

The sec is re-arranged. The playoffs are not.

So you think Swindon should get an unfair advantage for breaking the rules?

Bjerre should be at Belle Vue. The sec meeting on Monday is a re-arranged meeting from today, regardless of whether a re-arranged date is in any book. So the British play offs take priority.

Surely in the interests of fair play Swindon should demand that BWDs points in that heat be deducted from the scoreline. But all we have had is silence. In fact the "mistake" has been known for a while now but the silence has been deafening from the Swindon management. That alone can only be interpreted that along with many of their fans they are hoping to get away with it. A real shame.

Swindon fans think going through to the final is a foregone conclusion. All the team has to do is turn up and it will be a 20+ points win. It would be fantastic for the sport and justice, if Poole turned up and wrecked the party. And boy would we have some fun on here.

The ref was not to blame. Swindon were to blame by not knowing the rules and failing to use Musialek for three rides. The ref missed it but Swindon made the mistake and are therefore at fault. Agree that if Poole had done this it would be 30 pages long at least. And Grachan, it was an error granted, but errors need to be corrected and not "got away with".

Looks like some Swindon fans don't like to read what many are thinking about the way their club are acting at the moment. The scoreline needs to be adjusted. What if Swindon go through on aggregate by a point? Hardly be fair, would it? Swindon should puf their hands up and come out with a statement that they made an error with the poles rides. Saying nothing looks like they are trying it on. Again.

End of the day BWD turned up to ride. There might have been an issue with paperwork blocking Kyle Newman so BWD bought his bikes in the event Newman was blocked. So basically he was fit to ride but Swindon prefered to use a track specialist guest rather than one of their own. Case rests for the prosecution. Banged to rights.

All this dodgy stuff coming out of Swindon. BWD turning up to ride at Poole but Swindon booked a guest who was better. BWD must be well peed off losing wages so Swindon could gain an advantage in the playoffs. Now not satisfied with that, they continue by only giving the out of form dodgy Pole two rides. Again benefitting as the ref missed it. You couldn't make it up. No wonder people are saying if Swindon win either the league or cup it will be a hollow success which will leave a bad taste in the mouths of every fair minded fan. Never seen so many on social media praying for a Poole victory in the second leg of the playoffs to bring respect and karma back to the sport.
