Big difference. One was a swap to strengthen, this one is an injury replacement for poor Hans. Tough on them then. One leg it is.

No. Wolves can't I don't think. So what happens there? They forgo their leg?

More to come.... Poole boss Matt Ford is hoping that he has pulled off a masterstroke by tempting club asset Antonio Lindback back to British racing, some nine seasons after the Brazilian-born Swede last rode in the British leagues. Lindback, currently eighth place in this year's GP standings and winner of this season's British GP, has answered Ford's call as a replacement for start of season skipper Hans Andersen who suffered a hand injury on Bank Holiday Monday when riding for the Pirates at Leicester, and it is a signing, under rule 16.3.41 that provides for a redeclaration for an injured rider, which has excited the experienced club promoter. Ford said "I am very proud when I say that this is dream come true for me to be able to bring Antonio back to British racing. He has been been absent from British Speedway for a significant time and will come in on the same assessed average as other established riders such as Bartosz Zmarzlik, Patrik Dudek, Martin Vaculik the Laguta boys etc. "Hopefully with the play-off matches ahead we can whet Antonio's appetite enough to make him want to become a British league regular again, whether that be with us or another club. "In his time with us between 2003 and 2006 he rode in over 120 matches rode in over 120 matches and amassed more than a thousand points and above all became a firm favourite with the Poole fans . Whilst I am sorry not to have Hans in the team and able to finish the season, as he has delivered so many important scores for us this year, I believe Antonio will make the perfect replacement. I am sure he will give us the boost we need going into the play-offs and hopefully his presence in the Poole team will add even further spice to the semi-finals which are now upon us."

Thank god Lindback wasn't riding for Swindon. Strange thing to say and most people today won't even understand its meaning.

Next Wednesday likely to be Wolves v Poole.

He posted his old place of work on the forum a couple of weeks ago for all to see. He posted it on a public forum so brought the info onto a public domain. Its not as if I would waste a nano second looking for private info but the bloke made it public for all to see.

Thank you.

Good god. I really give up. Well done you win.

It matters not one iota now anyway as the meeting is over and the playoffs beckon. And if we go back there the boys will know the setup that much more and hopefully continue how they left off. Just The slight problem of Wolverhampton to overcome!

Would have been a few points closer with Iversen riding, doubt Rose would have made too much of a difference, and Holder would have been out in heat 15 if he had been needed. Kings Lynn need to build a brand new lineup. Only riders worth keeping are Lambert and Porsing.

It is a fact, whatever way you look at it. Not conjecture, not opinion. The ef cost Poole finishing top of the league. We could have been on the wrong end of a 5-1 when the ef occured, but the ef would still have ended Poole's ability to finish top. The fact that we were on a 5-1 makes it more of a bitter pill. Still, hopefully we will have the opportunity to correct this setback in the playoffs.

Whatever floats your boat I guess. I can't stand her.

Balding is repulsive. I can't stand her mannerisms, her comentating, I don't see any redeeming features about her at all. Even worse than Gabby Logan and that's saying something. My point, which holds completely true, flies way above the intellect of Gavan. The ef in heat 14 cost us finishing top of the league. There can be no argument over this. It is a fact, not opinion.

Zagars ef means nothing to what I stated. That had all gone before and it was down to the last two heats. Poole were on a 5-1 in heat 14 which would have put us three behind going into heat 15. We got the 5-1 in heat 15 so the ef in heat 14 cost us the win and finishing top. It doesn't matter what happened ealier in the meeting. These are the facts.

Yes I think it derves some type of award trophy. The EL Champions most points scored. Lol.

I hope a prospective promoter will come forward to take over the running of the club next year. The need to change their race night to a Thursday.

For gods sake someone go along to Timpsons and buy a ruddy plaque. Here you go. https://www.timpson.co.uk/engraved-products/trophies/cups-shields/mini-2.html Someone tomorrow can throw it at the riders on parade and then the bv lot will be happy.

He would have kept Holder out at the back? Not a chance last night.

We would still have got the four points tonight if Iversen had ridden and I doubt Rose would have done any better against our boys. Thought Lambert was riding or was that a figment of my imagination? Kings Lynns team has been a disaster from start to finish this season.

Newman a weak link? Did fine tonight and he is far better than many edr's. Don't think we will have to worry about Kyle. He will do his job with 100% commitment.

Hi David, I did say withdrew through pain. Brave of him to give it a go after such a freak accident with the brick. He will be along shortly sprouting his usual crap. Nice to see Adam bounce back after last night. His first duff meeting of the season but just couldn't get out of the starts at all. What was the problem? Spinning up?

Very easy win. Wonder what the score would have been had Hans been riding. He scored 14 in the A fixture and his replacement Tungate only scored paid 5. With Tungate riding every day this week has he run out of steam, or if not perhaps his bikes? So close to finishing top of the league. The ef in heat 14 the difference between Poole and Belle Vue. Roll on next Wednesday and I expect a trip to Monmore.

Guess he thought it was a lost cause and decided enough from the pain.

Why? I considered it this morning when I was in Exeter. 280 miles 5 hours. Nah!

You there fb?
