Thats what most of the girls say. Can't change what I was born with. Out of order there sunshine.

9.10 is about the time Poole meetings usually finish. Dads Army might be good around their own patch but they don't travel very well. Kennett absolutely shocking. Thing is Rye are relying on Nicholls and Harris to score well and both are a few years past their best. With Kennett having a mare this was always the likely outcome. Someone said on the Rye v Poole thread that there are no t/rs in the playoffs and Rye would fairly easily be able to defend an 8 point lead at Poole. No chance. What happened to them tonight will be repeated on more than one occasion in 2017. Rye the leagues new Lakeside.

Clearly he is very seriously injured and its career ending. The most important thing right now is that he makes a good recovery to lead a normal life for what time he has left on earth. Hoping for no serious spinal damage and he will be able to walk again. Get well soon Tomasz

Thanks for the info.

Which Polish channels are showing the speedway this year? Thanks Steve

Not going to happen. He has too many continental bookings at weekends.

Kk was good tonight on his first or second ever visit. Did the business to earn Poole a point. Knocked off by Branford as well.

We will see in a couple of weeks but I don't think Rye will run us close at Poole. Good fought battle tonight and considering Kk and Hans didn't know the track I thought we did well. Poor guest as I expected though.

No way will Rye get within 8 of us at Poole. Good meeting tonight. KK showing much better. Brady next big Aussie star. Very fast and aggresive riding.

Fantastic advert for the sport and British speedway tonight. First visit to Rye. Good crowd, friendly fans, good racing all night. Gate four massive advantage. Pleased with a point. Deserved. Will be back for the B fixture.

Just because a rider has a decent meeting doesn't mean he will repeat it a couple of weeks later. Seen Hougaard score 16 in an a fixture and 4 in the b. Happens all the time. Would prefer Kerr who has been solid in the number 3 berth. But really need Kyle back as he is part of the team. Hopefully not too long. Stick with the 49-41ish prediction. And hope to be proved wrong.

Really? Kerr has been pretty rock solid in his scoring for Poole. Done see bwd doing much if anything. 49-41ish to Rye.

You are guessing. Scb is right. The club who signed him first have priority. Simple as that.

Wells second div club has priority of course. He signed for them first. Improves Rye House and takes away the opportunity of a Poole win on Saturday. We haven't ridden there for 27 years. Last time Poole hit 60 with Boycey and Lango.

Thought KK was ok tonight. Could be worse. We could have Chris Holder!

No.

I thought they would make the playoffs but am now reconsidering. Holder going through the motins, Batchelor the same as always, poor reserves, perhaps not that good. Can't see past Poole and Belle Vue at this stage.

He is in.

Decent meeting played out in front of a smaller than average crowd. These meetings are put on for the Coventry fans. Such a shame so few fans made the effort to attend. Spoke to Silver Bee before the meeting who was gutted hardly anyone from Coventry turned up. The meeting was played out ona much better track with some good racing from Hans, Brady and Jack ~holder, who probably had his best meeting in Pirates colours. For Poole. KK seemed better tonight. Absolute garbage from the ref in heat 13 allowed King the flyer of all flyers. KK pulled up immediately thinking it all 4 back but ref let it go! An unbelievable call to be honest but perhaps he should have waited for the red light. 2.5/5 Jack Holder was stuck in and fast and agressive. Much better. 3.5/5 Kerr was trying so hard. Lost points with two falls. Can't fault his efforts. 2.5/5 Brady class again. Would have been a max but fluffed his heat 15 and Harris and king spent three laps team riding him out until he got through for third on the line. 4.5/5 Hans. Class again from the captain. Some good hard riding. Good form. 4.5/5 Klindt battled and made some good passes. Had one bad ride. 3/5 Shaney tried his heart out and battled all the way. Cant ask for more. 3/5 for effort alone. For Coventry. King started well before fading.2.5/5 Neilson tried. 2/5 Garrity didn't do much. 1.5/5 Bjerre gated twice and battled with Holder well. Best Coventry rider. 3.5/5 Harris blew his bike but didn't get close to a race win. 2.5/5 Sarjeant was poor. 1/5 Bates won one race. 2/5 Shame Coventry fans didn't turn up in any decent numbers. Felt like a challenge meeting, low key inthat respect. Bates and Shanes back next week fir the under 21's.

Cvs needs to be committed to the loony bin for signing him.

Hearing cvs is keen on signing Davey Watt to replace Skornicki if he becomes available,

Whens your flaky Pole going to turn up?

Taxi for Skornicki! Anyone with half a speedway brain could have told cvs that this would happen. Two years out, getting on a bit. Part of the reason, together with duff reserves, why Wolves will most likely fail to make the playoffs.

Rye House clearly running scared. Davey should be riding against Poole.

The track conditions at Poole were marginally better than the Evening meeting at Somerset. So trees, why are you not having a go at them instead of Poole?
