I don't believe that.

KK is not riding under orders. Middlo has just been talking to him in the pits and it looked like at the end of the conversation Middlo raised his arm in a "clear off" type gesture.

Kings Lynn track is a disgrace. Extremely bad. They have now sent a lorry around to try and pack it down. But will the ref bottle heat 9? With both Poole riders at tapes the Kings Lynn boys were excluded under two mins. In the rerun it should be the Kings Lynn reserves only.

Doubt Doyle will be riding for Swindon at Poole.

52-40ish. The current Poole team is not strong enough to give Kings Lynn a scare, even with r/r for Klindt.

The current Poole lineup won't get close to 40 points at Lynn. -

Well people do need to understand that I actually do know what I am talking about regarding Poole. I wrote the above before the announcement if Richie Worrall as a 28 day injury replacement. Other than that I was spot on, as I expected to be. Arse covering? No just knowing my team. First of all well done to Kings Lynn. They can only beat the team put in front of them and tonights Poole team was the weakest 1-7 I have seen since 2009. The result was no suprise at all. Out of our group, only 2 fancied our chances. The rest of us expected us to lose. It was all too easy for Kings Lynn. If Brady had been fit to ride we would probably have got home but Richie W is certainly no replacement for Kurtz. Can't fault his efforts though. For Kings Lynn. Batchelor did as I expected with a couple of wins. Jorgensen did well. Two good rides. Huckenback ditto. Lambert was solid. Fell asleep in heat 15 when a third would have got KL an extra point. Woke up too late and missed catching Jack by half a bike. Holder as expected came fired up and rode well. Rose was very solid. Ayres was out of his depth. For Poole. Taxi for KK. Not interested. In the slightest. Poodled around at the back in his first two before gating and realising he was leading down the back straight. Soon fixed that though by allowing Lambert to come around him. Then in heat 13 gated again and realising sticking the brakes on again decided to stay safe and clear off. Was not chosen for heat 15. Surely it would be easier just to tell Matt Ford he doesn't want to ride here? Holder battled for every point. Can't fault his effort. Taxi for Klindt! Two words sum up his riding tonight. Bottle job. Gated, a rider got close and he moved out of the way. Not only is he clearly unfit, but he has lost his nerve and we all witnessed it. Sorry Nicolai, time to call it a day. At least for his season. If you lose your bottle when riders get close, you are a danger not only to yourself but others as well. Worrall did what was expected, but he is not of the same standard of the rider he is covering for, therefore we are stuffed here until Bradys return. Not Worralls fault. But he needs to score double figures at home at least to cover and that isn't going to happen. Hans did his job. Had a great race with Holder in heat 13. Starke tried his heart out. Can't fault his efforts. Same with Shanes who saw off his rival number 7. Poole really were there for the taking and unless 2 changes are made and Brady returns, we won't make the playoffs this season. But even if we did make top 4, we would be the whipping boys for Wolves or Belle Vue. As for the track, much improved on the Belle Vue meeting. Again well done to Kings Lynn. Three easy points for them tomorrow night. -

Bjarne Pedersen is here in the pits with Matt. Spoke to Nicolai. Says he is feeling much better. Soon find out. Wished Richie Worral good luck. We will need him to start well and have a good meeting. -
Went past the stadium this morning so took a look. Nowt going on.

He will be welcomed tomorrow night, but he should have been welcomed as a replacement for injured Klindt or an under performing second string. Not our best rider this year. -

So if I had said, "hope the riders are ok, Monmore stikes again" that would have been ok? Right. Rider error due to track tight and he tried to turn losing his back wheel. Bigger apex, less tight turn, stayed on. -

Points scoring? Don't talk crap. The track caused the crash. Nothing more. Hope Sedgmen is OK he didn't deserve that. Track too tight for Perks who lost his back wheel. Seen it on that bend many times. Glad he is up and being checked over. They do but not like Monmore. Nothing is tighter in the top flight. (Other than Wolves fans pockets judging by the crowd) -

Steve Shovlar replied to Beowulf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
In that second paragraph you have just confirmed your lack of knowledge of the sport. Everyone knew Redcar rides different to Monmore. Except you! Lol! (That was meant to be light heated humour) By the way when Wolves had a mediocre team, they still used to see off Poole more often than not by a couple of points. Been there often enough to witness it. By the way what a terrible crowd. 9.99 to get in, on their race night, and empty terraces. At least at Poole last week we had a good crowd on an off race night. What went wrong here or are Wolves fans stingy and would rather watch on tv? -

Steve Shovlar replied to Beowulf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Lol! If you would rather watch this every week than a proper speedway track thats your perogative. Poole's track currently has its issues, no doubt about it, but the racing is Good full throttle stuff. Monmore is a tricky little track. Undisputable. And in your words, FACT. (Although its actually an opinion) Monmore has monster home advantage. Clear to see for everyone and the reason they won the league last year and probably this year as well. -

Give me Belle Vue type of track over this any day of the week. The hint is in the name. SPEEDway. -

So someone has a different opinion of Monmore and you do one of your rants. And Barker has just completely summed up my opinion of Monmore. -

And Lindgren wobbles around at the back this time. I will say you will get a few decent races but you got good races at the Brighton Bonanza. -

At least Harris didn't manage to wobble that time and he is a track specialist. No wonder Wolves won it last year with such a massive home advantage. Quarter throttle racing. -

I would put wolves alongside Leicester for quality speedway. Away riders wobbling around all over the place. Even Harris in heat 1. This isn't proper speedway. Wobble wobble wobble. -

Good god I hate this track. Trick track special with mistakes from the riders wobbling around. And yes the Poole track needs attention to smooth but its far superior in every way. Wobble wobble wobble.
