About 8 is roughly Lindgrens average around Poole, so you are saying a couple more which I agree with. In fact About 9-10 for Lindgren on a good night. Or are you saying 8 on top of the paid 6? Don't think Lindgren has ever scored that at Poole!

Well that was an eventful nights entertainment. Started with absolute nonsense on the gate. Making people put their walkets, cards, keys in a bowl then inspecting everything, followed by making old ladies stand with their arms outstreched as some guy runs a buzz stick over her. Edna has been going to Poole since 1948 and I don't think has been radicalized. Made to stand there with arms outstretched was disgraceful. In fact there are probably only a handful of muslims in Dorset, so it was nonsense. Better and bigger targets for terrorists than a sport they have never heard of. Now onto the meeting. How the hell did we win tonight with that weak lineup? Amazing. Step forward Brady Kurtz who has come of age. Rides like a number one. Is a number one. Head and shoulders above every rider tonight. Poole hugely missed Klindt. He would have had 7 rides and no doubt a double fingure score. Add to that Zengota who, with no disrespect, is not a number one, and also Newman who had about his worst every meeting and the writing was on the wall. Yet Poole have a fighting spirit and showed that at the death to an unexpected and unlikely victory from the jaws of defeat. For Poole. Zengota found the going tough. Never led a race. Only his first outing so gets some benefit but KK was better. Holder continues to impress, getting better all the time. Newman had a mare until his last race. Mixed it but didn't have speed as a heat went on. Bike packing up on the start in a race he would have scored in didn't help. Kurtz was simply brilliant. Untouchable. Andersen was very good and in heat 15 showed experience to beat Schlein, when many were calling for Holder to be in the heat. Bates was no replacement for Klindt but did manage an important point in heat 14. Shanes had two very poor rides before managing to pass The Wolves number 7 in his last. Wolves. Josh G did as expected. A few less than Lindgren would have scored. Howarth was very good. Best he has ridden Poole recently. Deserved heat 15. Thorsell was on his usual Poole form. Looks a world beater at Monmore and a poor second string at Poole. Masters did his usual Poole performance. Schlein was excellent tonight. Fast and agressive. Best he has been at Poole for a while. Riss did an ok job as did Greaves. Poole struggle to compete without Klindt and need to sort out the issue at the top. Zengota should improve but I am currently not convinced he is going to be a big enough scorer. Time will tell but tonight I am just going to savour this unlikely victory.

Wolves should win this easily. Zengota terrible. Certainly not a number one. Newman completely out of sorts. No Klindt to cover either as Bates pretty useless. It would be a rout had Lindgren been riding.

Never seen such nonsense getting into Poole. Heathrow customs would be proud. Utter guff.

Rain not far off and heading in for start time. Hopefully it will blow through and we will see some racing. Heading off to the stadium shortly. Going to miss Klindt but hope Bates can step up and score some points. We are certainly weak at reserve tonight.

And with such a patched up team I am, like Andersen, not bothering to go. A shame as I enjoy my trips to the NSS but that Poole team is lousy and not worth a ten hour round trip.

No suprise landed straight on it.

Nasty hook up there. Balinski took the worst of that.

Bates is not a good replacement for Klindt who has been doing very well. Ignoring the trolling from the usual source its pretty clear we are weakened by not having him in the team this Friday. As for Zengota, we will never know but its the only place in the Uk which is similar to a Polish track so he might have done OK. We need a good guest and some luck to get a point out of this.

Using the Gavan and Stevebrum logic, Josh has scored double figures on numerous occasions at Poole where Lindgren has always struggled. So therefore Wolves are no doubt stronger with Josh replacing a rider who always flatters to deceive at Poole. Right?

Really? Talk about a patched up Poole team! What's the reason?

Forecast for tomorrow evening is currently not good with heavy rain moving in.

I would want Klindt over Bates everytime at bv. He is the better rider and just because in the couple oftimes he has ridden it he hasn't scored massively doesn't mean he wouldn't have this time.

9 times out of ten Klindt will score more than Bates. You know it. I know it. Klindt is far better of the two. Anyone with speedway knowledge will know this. Like saying Wells is better than Chris Holder because he scores more at Monmore.

Bates no way has the scoring ability of Klindt. Not even close. Don't think we will get anything out of the two meetings this week.

Showing football on nsport currently.

Injured today in Daugavpils.

No Klindt Wednesday. No one out there to replace his scoring ability.

Klindt taken to hospital in Daugavpils. Sniffy tells me knee injury and concussion. Not riding Wednesday.

Thanks Typical luck we are having this season.

Kk to Leicester?

What did tg say?

All this tractor work. The riders will then come out, shake theirs heads and it will be off. Thats the usual scenario. All this money in Polish speedway and no track covers. If anyone could afford it its these clubs and it would have saved the meeting.

Just looked at the rain radar for Poland. Very bad over most of the country.

First extraleague meeting off? He was a lucky lad going for it when it was all over. Terrible meeting though. So one sided. Allen riding? How come cause he's From down under? Better Brits to chose.
