  1. I am sick and tired of Kildemand diving at every opportunity to gain an advantage.
  2. Looks like its going to be a damp one. Rain forcast for Monday in the Midlands on and off. Bring a brolly!
  3. I would imagine they would change their race night if they went EL.
  4. There will still be an Elite League, just different teams. The constitution of the BSPA states that should any league fail, the teams will reform new leagues. Probably no Leicester, possibly no Coventry. Rye House wanting up? Glasgow wanting up? You can't have a rule of no top riders. How will British riders improve if they are not meeting the best? Doyle has already signed anyway. There are GP riders who have remained with the EL. Why should they be penalised?
  5. Oh FFS, what is it with some bloody promotions? They couldn't organise a p up at a brewery. I have a feeling next seasons EL is going to look very different. As for Garrity, its hearsay at the moment so we will have tonwait and see. If he has been banned for drink driving serves him right and he is bound to lose his van. Attacking his promoter and team mate is ridiculous behaviour though!
  6. I noticed he had them all tiedup, instead of flowing around like in the GPsvand other leagues.
  7. Yes the stadium is open all the way around. Plans to redevelop the stadium are, I will believe it when I see it.
  8. I can only assume this post is a wind up. I can only assume from your post you have asked Kyle if he has no ambition and he has replied that, no he doesn't have any and is happy to stay at reserve. But the truth is you don't have a clue. Not every rider can be a world champion. But Kyle has never given less than 100% and that's the reason why he is so popular at Poole and long may there be a space for him in the team. A proper racer and a Brit. I have no doubt whatever team he rode for, the fans of that club would soon hold him in very high regard. And don't forget he has had two injuries this season, one extremely serious and life threatening. No, he won't be a world champ. I doubt he will ever be a number one, but he is still improving and there's more to come. He is having a very decent speedway career and the criticism aimed at him is unfair IMO.
  9. Didn't know who he was until he posted when he got home.
  10. The tac is there for us to use if needed. Wolves get ten up we use it straight away. Just hecause Wolves didn't use it dorsn't mean we don't have to. The perks of defending the first leg lead.
  11. Stalking you? I rarely if ever reply to any of your posts! You seem to have a fixation with me and mention me in virtually every post you make! All very weird.
  12. Bully Gavan off the forum? Get with it. I had the guy on block and never replied to his trolling posts. Others gave the guy the truth about his stinking attitude on here on numerous occassions, which he finally realised made himself look the pillock he was. Only you seemed to think the way he was carrying on was acceptable. No wonder people thought you were one and the same. He has returned to the form he had of 2012. This is the Chris Holder that has been missing for a couple of seasons, with serious injury and also the injury to his mate which affected him. Seems he has put it behind him and the last coulle of months has been riping it up.
  13. This SteveO bloke came and sat in front of our lot earlier this season when Swindon were down. He knew who we all were but didn't have the courtesy to introduce himself. Instead he huffed and puffed his way through the whole meeting, moaned outloud to himself that I was filming a bit on Periscope because I was guving a commentary to about 30 watchers (not against the rules at the time) then skulked off after heat 14 with his tail between his legs after his side had taken a pasting! Talk about bitter. He was hoping we would only have a tiny lead, if a lead at all, so last night must have come as a major disappointment to him.
  14. Thought the meeting went on at a decent pace. Better than previous years when the two meetings go out of sync. Crowd was good but not as big as the summer months, plus remember it was on Sky. What was good wasvseeing four gp riders in heat 15. Is this the first time that has happenedbin the el this season?
  15. Easy as I thought it would be. Going into a playoff semi without a number one and expecting your other riders to cover was foolhardy at best, and stingy at worst. Short changed theplayoffs Imo.
  16. Now that was a tense meeting! The feeling amounst the fans I talked to were all predicting 4-6 points advantage, so to double that is so impressive, especially as there was a hole in our middle prder you could have driven a bus through! Some great racing tonight. Hard racing indeed. Pirates desperately missed Hans and as Inexpected not the meeting for Lindback to return to el racing. Without having ridden on the track for years it took him three rides to get to grip with conditions. Some people on here were berating Kyle Newman and saying he could easily replaced with riders like Stark. Do thosesbsame people think the same right now? Tonight you saw exactly why Kyle Newman is so popular at Poole. Bleeds blue blood, has a never say die attitude and is loved here. Man of the meeting with some tremendous passing. Bjarne was badly exposed this evening. For those that say it is ridiculous to have an ex gp rider at reserve, tonight shows why he was there. He has no speed any more and is living on his gating. However, Monmore is a much slower circuit. 12 points lead is much more than we expected to get but the boys dug deep to get that. Is it enough? Hard to say. But if we go out to Wolves at least we can say we battled to the end and if we come up short we went out to a better team.
  17. Nah. The only showers I have seen today have come down from the midlands. Boom boom.
  18. Woffinden will be in heats 14 and 15, so we need to have a lead by the end of heat 13 or we are stuffed.
  19. Doubt it would be Woffinden. Likely to go through the card or only drop the odd point. Think we will see a few falls with over riding.
  20. The stalker continues to stalk me. The thing is its boring to everyone on here. Chris4gavan, no one cares. Your boring, obtuse coments just waste bandwidth and drag the forum down to the depth that PILLOCK Gavan trolled to. You didn't see just how much dislike a majority of us had for Gavan. Calling him a pillock was about the kindest words I could use. Others used far harsher language but funnily enough you go after me for calling him a pillock? Good god man get a life! I will certainly look out for you tonight. I know exactly what you look like through your facebook page which you so kindly helped everyone find a few weeks ago through telling everyone to Google you. Now bore off and bother someone else. It will be available on Kodi, which can be downloaded onto an amazon firestick. Can be set up in less than 30 mins. Alternatively there are bound to be streams online to watch, though the quality will be pretty poor in comparison. Have to say I wish Hans Andersen was fit to race this evening. He knows the track, can be hard and fast when it matters. With all due respect to Antonio, he is only arriving in the country about now, then the drive down to Poole meaning no practise at all. Middlo is right to be worried about being dialled in. It doesn't seem to bother Antonio but it certainly bothers me. We need all riders on it from the off, not taking a couple of rides before getting settled in. I Would take a ten point lead tonight no problem. That can be defended, and of course we would have the tactical to fall back on if Wolves squared it on aggregate at their place. Any less than that and we could discover we are all tied up after just a few heats on Monday. Really looking forward to it tonight. Should be a cracker.
