Well I have enjoyed this thread immensely this evening. Over the top we are all doomed posts, Gavan completely losing it, rider super strops, the lot. Oh and 4 juicy points. Happy days! Nighty night!

Soft in the head more like. Truth be told the Kings Lynn team only thought they had to turn up to pick up the win. And when they started to get beat completely lost it in more ways than one.

Yes he did a very good job tonight and covered for Brady well. 4 big fat juicy points.

It would be up to Buster whether he sacks Holder for withholding his services. Doubt that will happen. Seems the whinging disease is spreading through all the Aussies.

Some massive over reactions on here tonight. No. It is not the end of speedway in the UK. No. It is not the end of Kings Lynn speedway. All that happened is that the track was "soft" and Kings Lynn riders threw a wobbler when they slipped behind. Batchelor is well known for being king of the moaners when the track is not to his likening. He was one of the instigators of a televised meeting in Poland and could clearly be heard on a mic saying, "what part of we ain't gonna effing ride don't you understand"? After all the track work had been done. Tomorrow there will be a club inquest into what happened, and that will be that. Some words about track being soft and Buster working to sort it out for the next meeting. Next week another club will be there and conditions may be more to the Kings Lynn riders liking. Really nothing to see here. Time to move along.

It was never mentioned to me that he fell, so I was none the wiser. Why would I pretend to be there? Rumbled? Lol! I have been to all but two Poole away meetings this season. I was never going to attend this, or the next time we ride at Belle Vue coming up on a Monday so you can put that in your diary. Still, 4 big points. Pleased as Punch!

Nobody rumbled anything. I never said or pretended I was there. Lol! Baz is a very reliable poster on here. Sorry you don't like what was happening at Kings Lynn this evening. Totally disgraceful behaviour from Kings Lynn. Well done to Middlo and the Poole lads for getting on with the job and leaving with the 4 big points.

Good win for a weakened Swindon tonight. Thought Belle Vue would take 4 points when Doyle withdrew. Glad to see Adam knocking in good scores after a difficult start to the season.

It came directly from Pirate Baz, who was discribing exactly what was happening from his perch above the pits.

Where?

No I wasn't there tonight. Couldn't make it due to long planned business meetings today. However was speaking to someone who was there throughout the meeting, and got the info as it was happening.

Well what a night! 4 big points for Poole. Completely unexpected but most welcome. But dear oh dear oh dear. Kings Lynn in meltdown. How on earth could that happen after their performance last night? Seems completely rediculous. Poole put out such a weak team, the result is bonkers. But questions need to be answered. Why did Kings Lynn fold like a cheap pack of cards? Why did the two KL riders get themselves excluded in heat 9? Surely the team manager should have asked for a track inspection? Why did Batchelor feign a wrist injury? He never fell or took a knock. Why were Kings Lynn allowed IRR when Batchelor feigned injury? Why did Lambert go into the crowd and try to punch out one of his own fans? Why wasn't he thrown out of the meeting? Its a mess but Poole speedway can come through this as acting professionally and with integrity. No blame can be aportioned in any shape or form to Middlo and the boys who did their jobs. Well done lads! Really? Cantona went into the crowd at Palace once. Think he got a little ban. Fans are their to voice their opinions. This one was probably fed up with his teams lack of effort and shouted out his thoughts in no uncertain terms. Riders cannot go and seek retribution by thumping a paying fan. A 6 month ban the order of the day?

Oh dear he's lost it this time.

No. What we find funny is Gavan completely losing it and making a total clown of himself. He doesn't know when to stop! The result is great. The Kings Lynn team are a disgrace. Lambert trying to punch a Kings Lynn fan is outrageous. Batchelor crying off is pitiful. And Holder probably thought, sod this.

How come Lambert hasn't been chucked out of the meeting?

Yep. Makes up for last night. Kings Lynns self destruction is not Pooles fault. They have acted appallingly.

Oh yes it is! Gavan don't know when he is comedy gold! Lol!

And its absolutely hilarious. Keep it up Gavan!

Oh dear non of this is Poole's making. Chomp chomp chomp. Lambert has tried to punch out a spectator in the crowd! That's going to bring on a long and painful ban from the sport. Idiot.

Robert Lambert has just gone into the crowd and tried to punch a spectator!

Hollow victory? Nothing hollow about it. Poole have acted professionally as Kings Lynn self destruct on their own track. Riders failing to come out to race, and others packing their bikes away is tantamount to shoving two fingers up at their club and its fans. I hope Dale Allitt is ok. If it is caused by stress by the way his riders have acted, well shame on them.

Hearing Batchelor has now picked up a "wrist injury". Wtf? Utter b8llocks.

They can't. He is not injured. Should be reserves only.

About to restart. KL reserves in heat 9.

Ambulance leaving stadium.
