I think its not as tough at this time than it was ten years ago. Rickardson, Hancock, Crump, Gollob, Nicki Pedersen, Loram, Adams, compared today to Hancock, Woffinden, Doyle, Holder, Iversen, Janowski.

Now Andersen is not riding I think we will have to find a decent replacement for Brady. To go r/r will leave us extremely weak.

I stick by my point of view. Club first and foremost. The two bit SEC is a worthless event in the scheme of things. The league is not. Whilst Kurtz is representing his country, The other is no more than a glorified individual meeting for a Polish TV channel. As captain Hans should be at Leicester leading Poole from the front, making sure everyone is giving their all to the cause of toppling Belle Vue at the top of the league. Its not the gp challenge, its not the Danish Final. If we lose next Saturday by a couple of points and Hans rides raise only 3-4 points, we know where the blame lies. He should do the right thing and withdraw from the SEC. Of course its a harsh point of view. Hans is Poole Captain. A Captains job is to be leader in the pits making sure the other riders are OK, passing on track information, gearing info etc. Making sure we pick up points where we can.........oh hang on he's not there.

If Hans is missing over some two bit tournament. Matt Ford should sack him from the team. Four points at Leicester is far more important to the club and fans and promoter who pays his wages. Glory hunting in an event with little meaning is unacceptable to Most Poole fans. Without him will be struggling to get a point. Its quite clear in my book. We are chasing Belle Vue for top spot. Far more important for Hans to be in Leicester and being part of a team than gallavanting off to Russia for some minor personal glory which means jack sh*te to nearly everyone. And he is only an also ran anyway.

Was hoping for full strength. Always some bloody meeting in the way. Guess it will be r/r with Buckowski, Bjarne, Ellis and Newman taking his rides?

Think its called delaying the start.

Think they have got better every year. Make dull races sound exciting and exciting races sound like nothing could be better. As they have relaxed into the job they can now take the P out of each other with us listeners chuckling with them. Long may they conitinue in the roll.

Thought the ref was crap. Held the tapes far too long, was quite disgraceful with excluding Janowski, failed to exclude Lindgren and Doyle for both going over the white line. Failed to exclude Hancock for repeated jumping at the start. Not sure how this ref is rated by Polish fans but I can rate him. Effing crap.

Well done to Hancock fully deserved. Woffinden is probably getting his suit on.

Perhaps trying not to show any bias to his home nations riders. In doing so he made a dreadful call.

No. It was clear as daylight.

Well I am gobsmacked by this decision. Lindgren knocked Magic off. No other way of looking at it.

Probably a mate of Gavan's.

Ref is poor. Holding way too long.

Bloody hell your keen would have set the recorder, unless there's no way that's possible.

Yes I thought it would be a very small crowd. Perhaps they sat there all night! But compared to Cardiff, Warsaw etc it is a bit of a Mickey Mouse stadium with small crowd in comparison. BT3.

Those buttons are going to pop on that shirt Rosco.

Nothing on my bt app. I am on bt 3 but theres no mention of it. Gillette word sport. Ok the 8.45 information was wrong. Just starting now.

You really should not bother responding to the trolls posts Lisa. Its so nice having him blocked. Makes the place much more fun. No more having to read his inane anti Poole tripe.

Yep. Really professional tootling around at the back to gift Belle Vue a victory.

Looks like 6 of the field will be missing and need replacing.

Not very far to be honest. However there's a sea in the way. Takes 13 hours by road and ferry so the riders gear is a major issue. Guess it would have gone overnight. Riders might be able to get there but no point if bikes are stuck elsewhere. Looks like the Polish riders will be downgrading their field.

So are the riders hoping to run through the gp then get to Poland for the riders championship tomorrow evening?

Bang out of order. I am at car boot at that time. Booooooo!!!!!!!! Be lucky to have sorted the track out by then. Think track staff are not going to see their beds until tomorrow.

This is not going to happen. All back tomorrow afternoon I reckon.
