A good track, yes, but inferior to Belle Vues.

First of all I am very pleased we haven't lost Chris Holder from the EL. He is one of the best riders in the world and Kings Lynn will soon discover a better rider than the rider he is replacing. Should Matt have kept Noddy in the Poole lineup? No. Not with the points teams have to play with. Without the x1.4, yes, but with it, it takes up too many team building points. Poole made the right call. It will be sad to see him riding elsewhere but rather that than lose him out of British Speedway. That 1.5 points will be massive in the scheme of things. Makes the team much more balanced. Interesting though when you compare Kings Lynn to Swindon, with the other big star, Kings Lynn look far more balanced.

Wolves fans have only themselves to blame for te reason Klindt won't go back to wolves. And to add insult to injury he actually lives in Wolverhampton.

Interesting. https://www.periscope.tv/w/axc2TjFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MXluS09rTVp5ZXJLUvUpwcZskk9kePcD9n8WxyGL8wLEiB0KstRdJ_5X1zcU Another well attended and entertaining evening. Four riders present plus Matt got interviewed as well.

So Swindon are trying to cheat by bringing in a rider on a lower average than his official one. Why does that not suprise me? CHEATING SCUMBAGS!

Will he ever ride for Poole though, or will Matt just take loan fees to make a profit? Not sure there will ever be room for him.

So that hand injury to Hans Andersen was a photo shop special? You couldn't make it up! I hope that Matt Ford and Hans are brought to task for knocking up a fake injury at a critical time of the season. Or perhaps Hans arranged for Fricke to pile into him so he would be out? Do you honestly think Poole didn't want to go into the semi without thier second heat leader? In the scheme of things Lindback is a better rider BUT he hadn't ridden either track in years. Andersen would always have scored more. And going to Wolves a main man down ended our chances. With Andersen we would have had a bigger lead from the first leg and a better chance of defending the lead. Anyone with a modicum of speedway knowledge would know this. I don't blame Wolves they only beat what was placed in front of them but the Poole team for the second leg was weak in the extreme and Wolves had it easy. I think you are either trolling or are lacking knowledge of the situation.

Yep. Injuries at the wrong time can wreck any teams chances.

Looking forward to tomorrow nights quiz night. Should be an interesting night with some good gossip.

Doesn't matter how you dress it up that team won't challenge Poole or even the old codgers at Rye House.

Hate to tell you this but Poole should wie te floor with this Somerset side. 60+ at Wimborne Road. Where are the heat winners going to come from? At Somerset obviously closer but no one to touch KK and the rest should enjoy the open spaces of the track, which they know well. One thing for sure. Two very big crowds. I do wish Gary May all the best but he will have his work cut out to avid humiliating thrashings on the road. If you want to believe that then fine. Think you will discover pretty quickly Poole on paper and on track are a far superior team. Struggling to see where Somerset will get heat advantages.

Tungate the final rider? If so can't wait for Poole to come visiting on hopefully very Good Friday.

When? Last season?

Just don't get it. Terrible looking team. Makes Leicester 2016 look like champions. BV and Leicester got to be better than this?

Relegation beckons, this team will struggle to beat Swindon. The Robins fans now don't have the fear of relegation.

But they have moved up to the top league. This team looks poor so far. Riders like Josh G are not going to do what they did last year.

A big oh dear at the moment. No strength at all so far. Need a Noddy.

No he was a team manager.

All this travelling too far nonsense. Havvy used to travel to his home meetings at Poole every week from Redcar! Thought nothing of it.

Why is this thread in the el section? Better to put it in the pl or general thread.

You know as well as the rest of us that Poole were devastated by injuries for the semi and the injury to Andersen couldn't be covered by the no show of Lindback. With a fit Andersen I am sure we would have gone through but Fricke put paid to that at Leicester. With the team Poole had to put out at Monmore it was no suprise we were beaten. Like coming to Poole trying to defend a lead without Woffinden or Lindgren. If you think the team mentioned a few posts up is good enough then I hope that will be the team. They won't come close with that lineup. Still, Woffinden will probably come knocking cap in hand before the end of July when his wc chances have vanished. Who will be for the chop this time? Tell that to Brum.

A bit tiny more than I saw last week. Mind you that pile of stone and metal fencing were there. At this rate the new stadium will be ready. By 2025.

Agree. Perfect team to beat. Howarth hasn't prgressed as many thought he would. Skornicki is past his best by ten years. And two very weak reserves. Clegg is next to useless away.

Surely they could put together a better team than that? Looks weak to me.
