Belle Vue Aces Vs Poole Pirates 9/6/17
Steve Shovlar replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Whats all this nonsense about Poole fans not teavelling in numbers? Last night was unusual in that only a couple of us were there but when we ride Swindon theres a couple of hundred at Blunsdon, at Leicester theres normally around 25-30, at Rye we took over the stand in front if the tapes. When we went to Coventry we had the first bend. Theres just as many travelling Poole fans as any other club and often more. -

Fair comments. You turned into a Poole fan? Were you at Poole on Wednesday? -

Absolutely. And once we finally get to full strength the rest better look out! As for Klindt, Matt should ask him to ride against Leicester to attain an average. Then we could use decent guests until he is fit. Three starts and pull overs would do it and against Leicestr we could get away with it. -

Well done Batchelor made me eat my words. Best I have seen him ride in years. Doesn't ride like that at Poole. Cracking meeting full of hold onto your seats action. Belle Vue stormed away and we thought it was allover after thefailed tr but Poole came back strong to silence the crowd. Some stunning hold your breath team riding from Batch, Brady, Holder and Newman. Not sure Bates in 14 was legal but he didnt score. Draw a fair result and two big points. Me and Rob the only two Pirates fans there I believe. We are driving home happier than the rest of the crowd. Well done lads. For bv Fricke was good but not at his best. Worral wsnt great only wone one heat. Berre was so fast out of the gate. Had one duff ride butis almost untouchable. Sedgeman was mediocre. One decent ride. Cook started well but faded badly. Bewley rode well Smith had one good ride. Poole Batchelor was excellent Holder rode very well Newman always in the mix one great ride Brady started and ended poor but great in the middle. Andersen was OK Bates 7 from 6 rides didn't cover for Klindt at all but Batchelor probably scored more than Zengota to even it out Shanes tried very hard. Fair result 4 hours 30 to home. Happy days! -

No doubt. At Macds in Hyde Road. Took over 6 hours to get here. -

No he doesnt unless he scores big! You cannot have accurate assumptions from only three visits. To believe Bates would score more is frankly naive. -

Its a troll comment. There is exactly the same to do here as every other town plus the beaches and Jurassic coast. Why do people come here on holiday? -

You cant compare over just three meetings and who the riders were up against? My Newman/Holder analogy is spot on. Give me Klindt over Bates at any track with the exception of Sheffield. -

Again how any numpty can say Bates is a better option than Klindt knows little about the sport. Like saying Holder has had three meeting at Monmore and scored badly, and Newman three good ones so Newman guesting for Kings Lynn makes Lynn stronger. Bates isnt in the same class as Klindt. Period. Regardless of what has been scored there recently. -

Me and Rob now coming up. Without Andersen it was pointless in making the 10 hour round trip. Have to say Batchelor is not a good choice. Feel his best is long gone. Don't expect to get a point out of this but enjoy the racing here so as long as the track produces some exciting stuff we can't complain. -

It is a complete nonsense. If a muslim wanted to blow up the fans why bother going into the stadium? They would just blow everyone up in the queue instead! Utter ridiculous guff and it will affect crowds. Easier to go to the beach or Dolphin centre to kill people. Oh dear. Troll Gavan comes on the Poole thread to slag off Newman tonight at Ipswich, who then ends up One of the highest scorers with paid nine. The guy just doesn't have a clue. -

Crowds at Poole have been poor this year no doubt about it. The Darcy meeting fiasco, huge gaps in the fixture list, poor weather and now horrendous and unnecassary anti terrorist searches when entering the stadium all add to people not bothering. Oh, and the weakening of the product. -

Not sure but really do you think his Polish club will allow one of their prize assets to sign over here? Even if he wanted to come I am sure he would be blocked. More chance Predzpelski. -

Well he hasn't managed it before at Poole so probably unlikely. Andersen and Kurtz would have probably seen him off. Lindgren is a good rider. Just not normally at Poole. Same as Chris Holder at Monmore. -

But there was no one else with as low an average. If we wanted Klindt at reserve Shanes was the best choice, and he hasn't let the club or himself down. -

Thorsell probably 11 at home but was beaten by Shanes from the back in the ES meeting. Poor tonight as well. -

Bridger? Lol! He can't even get decent scores for Berwick. His career is now over. Leicester in two weeks time are no threat to us at home. -

You are running around like a headless chicken. The league is not won in June. We won tonight. Savour the moment. We could and should have lost but we didn't and by the time Leicester come in two weeks Klindt might be OK. Even if he isn't we will still get the three points there. No panic required or rash decisions. After that we can see if KK has recovered and is ready to go, or whether Zengota is doing a good enough job. We only have to make 4th to be in with a shout. Just relax and don't get so stressed. -

It's the truth. Wolves failed to take advantage even when it was on a plate for them tonight.
