The league favourites Belle Vue have got the perfect guest in Hougaard who boosts their team strength somewhat. Hougaard is certainly better than Fricke around BV as anyone with an ounce of speedway knowledge can see. Just waiting for Palm Toft to come in now to replace Richie Worrall. It really does seem this Gavan chap is determined to make a pillock of himself on every single Poole theead. Admire his determination to do it though.

The promotion here just don't seem to have a clue how to promote. Mondays meeting is massive. The place should be packed. Are there flyers plastered all over the city? Radio ads? Newspaper interviews leading up to the meeting? If not why not? Get out there and promote the bloody place otherwise Belle Vue will be knocking on next door asking if they can come back!

So King in yet again? Strengthens Belle Vue somewhat.

Stefan Neilsen breaks a finger nail and Palm-Toft guests.

Thought they were big hints in the program notes otherwise Matt wouldn't have said a thing. Dudek for Hans and Milik for Buk would do.

Doesn't count as Poole use him first then his home club. Would be different the other way around I guess.

Swindon need to be completely fired up and try to win at Belle Vue. They have done it once, time to do it again. Rosco needs to make sure his boys have their best gear over.

Poole return to EL favourites Belle Vue a couple of weeks after their first visit, this time with a bit more knowledge having finally ridden the track. Tungate guests for Poole as he does the following night at Kings Lynn and I hope he rides better than he did tonight for us at Wimborne Road. Matt Ford has said there is an opportunity to bring in a new rider before the playoffs so we will just have to wait and see on that front. Poole's second strings seem to be riding well now. They have been misfiring all season but Brady and Adam have scored well. Holder is flying. We just need two more heat leaders. Perhaps Matt will book King as a guest for Hans. Belle Vue should be full strength unless something happens between now and Monday.

Entertaining meeting regardless of the scoreline. Well done to a PL journeyman who showed up the whole of the Kings Lynn team. Paid 14 out of 29. The Kings Lynn riders should hang their heads in shame. Palm Toft did this at Belle Vue and he did it again tonight. Some excellent races and some gate and go ones but as always at Poole the racing is good. If neutrals didn't enjoy the racing they should find another sport. Of course you will always get the anti Poole brigade on here praying for a snoozefest but they are looking for a dull meeting. Sorry they were let down. Some interesting talking points. Batchelors demise as a decent heat leader. A shame but something has gone seriously wrong with his career. Lambert. A long way to go before he can be classed as a big talent. Gifted a win through an ef and gifted second in heat 15 when Holder was rested. Expected more from him. No excuses as Palm Toft found passing easy enough. Harris shouldn't have taken the booking full stop. Not helping anyone taking a booking when injured. Silly, and it robs the paying public. The rest are not worthy of mention to be honest. As for The Pirates it's hard to tell what our form is like with opposition which would rather be elsewhere. Interesting program notes from Matt Ford stating there is a window of opportunity the week before the playoffs to make team changes. Watch this space. Rumours were going around Wimborne Road that Belle Vue are in financial trouble. Hope its not true after finally moving into a new stadium. Next up Belle Vue V Poole. Should be a cracker. Hope there's a big crowd.

Harris withdrawn from heat 15 aggrevated injury.

Eddie eddie eddie!!!

Well done Eddie Kennett. Never lets us down. This is better than the average meeting served up by Sky. The scoreline doesn't reflect the racing. Well done to Palm Toft anothrr good meeting around Wimborne Road. Just been announced Darcy Ward has passed his driving test. Congrats DW. Batchelor has completely lost his racing ability. Rather than just slag him off the guy clearly has issues with his racing and has lost it ala Davey Watt. He has been a very good ridr but to see him like this is not right. Hope he gets his mojo back in the future. In tonights program Matt has stated there is a window for changes a week before the playoffs.

Heat 2 wasn't exciting either? There's been quite of bit of passing Steve perhaps you haven't watched closely? Top of my head heat 3, heat 4, heat 5 three over the line together, heat 6 kennett blocking Harris, heat 8, heat 9. No you are right gate and go lol!

And again! Well done that man!! Some great heats tonight regardless of the score.

Perhaps not but dont beleive he is ever here. Like a ManU fan living in Tavistock. Closest he gets to Old Trafford is turning the tv on. The guy attacked me when he joined and has trolled my posts ever since. A jerk by any other name. Anyway a one sided drubbing but shows what can be done with Palm Toft. Great effort.

Brilliant race!

Doubt he has been here at all. Just a troll spewing venom in my direction after I called him out for blatant lying on the Tai Woffinden thread. Was hoping to meet him but more chance of bumping into Santa. PL next year.

Just walked around looking for chris4gillian but as I expected no sign. Not a true Poole fan. Prefers to sit at home slagging me off. What a pathetic excuse. All too easy I am afraid. Hoping the kings Lynn riders will gate to give us a meeting.

Playoffs Wednesday 21st Monday 26th

At the Leicester V Poole meeting, after a long delay for Hans injury, the announcer said there would only be a very short interval. It lasted 24 minutes.

Sky all set up just had a chat with Kelvin he reckons Poole by 20. Not a big crowd here. Tungate guests for Poole at Belle Vue and Kings Lynn.

I see its all Pooles fault. Terrible of them to have Bjarne at reserve. Shame on Poole. Booooooooooo! Lol! We finally agree on something. Most Poole home meetings are entertaining and this should be no different. Kings Lynn are weak but so were Poole on Monday and I haven't seen anywhere that Wolves fans were disappointed in the meeting. Bet there's several very good races tonight. Its hot out there. Hope they have chucked down a few hundred thousand gallons of water.

Even the Leicester meeting, which was totally one sided produced a few decent heats. Hopefull the Kings Lynn boys will have their gating boots on to give the Poole lads some passing practice. Middlo needs to make sure there's no complacency.

Never read such codswollap. Poole are also missing two heat leaders so that evens it up somewhat. Look at the team Poole had to put out at Monmore on Monday and we still got a point. Forecast is good the sun is beating down and I for one am Looking forward to an entertaining meeting. Toft a very good guest.

Cheers Jaques.
