Poole V Swindon Ela 1/5/17 6pm
Steve Shovlar replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
All easier said than done. Its not as though we could entice Saifudinov, Kildemand or Piotr Pawlick to slot us into their schedule for this season. KK was improved at Rye House but tonight he just didn't want to know, wobbling around for a lap before feigning an ef. Not sure he actually had an ef in heat 13 or the fact that Morris got a bit close. -

Good god. Just written a match report and the page reloaded and I lost the lot. Not going to type it all again. Well done to Swindon fully deserved. You cant be 15-29 down and expect to win a meeting. Poole riders pathetic in first half like NL wobblers. No excuse as the Swindon riders were two bike lengths up going into the first bend, then pulled away. Useless would be an understatement. Track was there to be ridden. Poole came back in the second half but were always going to run out of heats. KKs ef in heat 13 cost us a draw we scarcely deserved. KK easily beaten by Wilson Dean. Andersen easily beaten by wacjanek. Ridiculous and pathetic. No excuse. Its OK to come to the party in the second half if you have enough in the tank to cruise through but it was never going to happen. Kyle is hopefully back next week but Kerr never let the team down once and even though he was terrible in his first rides got his act together. I hope he is picked up by another club as he has done a good job. Well done again to Swindon. Took 100% advantage of the conditions early on to just hang on to a deserved victory. -

We have been clueless out of the start. Swindon riders just mullering us. Hans being beat by Wajenek sums it up. Track now slickening off and Poole starting to come back but too late now. Have to say Swindon deserve this. No excuses. -

Swindon riders lead by two bike lengths going into first bend. Farcical from Poole riders but Swindon killing us. -

Taking my coat off its so warm in the grandstand. A few Swindon fans here. Should be all ok. No parade tonight straight into racing. Have to say well done to Swindon on their win. Three 5-1s in the first 4 heats as the Poole. Riders wobble about 50 metres behind. Just goes to show if a track isn't what the riders want or expect they dont want to know. No way should Wajnect be beating Hans by 20 metres. -
What the hell has the fact that Woffinden and Ward are friends? Doesn't change the fact Woffinden has crapped over British speedway.
-
Darcy for all his faults, never turned his back on British speedway. And for an Aussie he gave his all for the EL. Woffinden as a Brit, has shown utter distain for British speedway, at league and international level. Why should we, as fans of British speedway both at club level and at country level, offer support to someone who refuses to ride at either level? His support is down to a few hardcore Fans at GP level and the Wolverhampton fanbase. Most see him as someone who used the British system then cleared off. Good riddance imo.

Think he's been on it. -
So does he want to teach the youngsters? To get themselves plastered in tatooes? To use expletives when speaking live on TV? To show how to treat British Speedway league by thumbing his nose at it? To show contempt for British speedway fans by refusing to ride in the British Championships? To show further contempt by refusing to ride for TeamGB in the SWC? The guy hasn't got anything to offer British youngsters other than how not to do it. Sure hes a great rider on a bike but it ends right there. Neil Vatcher is doing a great job, young lads are progressing and We are starting to see young talent come through. No need whatsoever for Woffinden to be involved in anything to do with the sport in this country. The guy's made himself a pariah so why on earth would British speedway bother to do anything in return? Its a real shame that a British world champion has snubbed his nose at Great Britain. But you reap what you sew.

Latest radar shows a huge swathe of rain to the south west of Poole which is pivoting around on itself. The rain is a little further shouth than predicted. Depends whether it will sweep around and dump the wet stuff on us or stay in the channel. -

Where did you hear that he has sacked the track man? And yes, he can go out and buy everything to get the track right. Investing in track equipment to get a good racing surface is paramount to a successful business. -

The Poole track staff seem scared crapless of putting water on the track. A couple of men holding hosepipes and afraid to put more than a light sprinkle on the track every 4 or so heats. Billowing dust for everyone to suffer, fans shouting out from the grandstand about it as a bloke holding the hosepipe waters the centergreen! Wheres the water bowser? It never shows its face during a meeting. Ever. Two hosepipes is clearly nowhere near enough. The very next race after a "watering" the dust billows up after a couple of laps. Far worse this season and unacceptable. Really needs to be sorted out, quickly. -
So where is all the info on Woffinden working with youngsters? Link?

Zzzzzzzzzzzz! Dreadful place in the backside of nowhere with track to match. Like having the British GP in Buxton or Tidworth. Not exactly going to attract new fans who might be looking in for the first time. -

For those without bt, just use a vpn. Should work if you choose a non speedway country. -
Poole now the cheapest tickets in the top flight at just £14 plus £1.50 booking fee.

Poole stadium owned by Poole council, not these bunch of chancers.
