Absolutely agree. And still think letting people choose their seat is wrong with a queue. People buying online can pick but really the person in the ticket office should just allocate a seat to the buyer. If they dont like the seat then move after the first heat to an empty one in a better position. The delays to gdt in are unnecassary.

Clearly you havent been to Poole for years as theres always a fair bit of dirt down. Forecast has changed somewhat with a risk of rain showers late afternoon. Well doubt Lindback will be over here anytime soon after his arrest last night.

All this rain is going to make a lot of dirt. Tomorrows forecast is overcast but dry so the moisture should hopefully remain in the track. The track has been worked on so hopefully we wont have a repeat of last Monday and get the three points.

When you buy online you buy for a section. So when you get there you sit anywhere in that section. Sorted. Only in big events is there a need for allocated seats. By the way was the grandstand totally full yesterday?

Gutted for Adam. The doc at the track didn't think it was broken and advised Ellis to pop in for an xray on his way home. Hate having guests and doubt Worral will repeat the previous week score. Hope he does though. 60 points is a nonsense. 53-39 would be a great win.

They didnt use up the water in the tank on the back of the pickup. Perhaps the Swindon promotion thought the team stood a better chance on a bald blue groove dust bowl.

Absolutely true about passing. When Holder and Andersenmissed the start against Morris and Tungate it was all over by the second bend. A woman was screaming for them to keep going but I said to her its all over already. In fact I think Hans gave up after two laps. There was nothing. There were about three or four passes all meeting. Seen worse though this year at Leicester. Nice to see a big crowd though. Proves the sport can do well with some serious effort.

Normal service resumed and a comfortable 14 point win.

I gave Lambert a little stick last week as he hasnt been great this season but tonight he has been really great and entertaining. Well done to the lad.

He did get warned. Not excluded for touching the tapes. Excludd for delaying start. Hand was warned in one heat. Did it again in another and the ref said several rider were moving. But again, why was Wright not excluded for not being under power when Morris touched the tapes?

If it isnt a sellout why on earth waste time asking people where they want to sit? Its an unwarranted delay for fans entering the stadium. Let peole sit where they want. Early birds get the best seats

Didnt think it was very good meeting racing wise. Track started slick and then they decided to dtop watering before the interval. Track had a big blue groove on it at the end and bad dust. Riders really struggling. Outsidegate were the best. Huge crowd. The fans are still there as the crowd proved. Getting them there every week is the trick. Poole brought along a lot of fans. The scoreline kept it more exciting than the racing.

Agree about ref. How he didnt exclude Wright for not neing underpower was a joke.

Anderson wasnt because they were two seperate heats

Wooooooohooooooo!!!

Shocking conditions morris touched tapes. Track is appalling. Super blue groove dust bowl. They cant be assed to water.

Is there a new rule? Wright bike failed at tapes no power. Allowed back in rerun with Morris who touched tapes off fifteen.

Morris just wiped out bjarne. All four back. Joke call

Two laps then unsatisfactory start with Poole on a 4-2.

Big crowd here. Still queues car park full

Well I think I will get there early to get a parking space for a quick exit. If this meeting doesn't pull in a large crowd at the Abbey nothing will. Swindon showing great form against a team struggling to live up to pre season expectations. Its got the making of a classic. Lets hope its not a boring from the gate meeting. Can Swindon prove their form is real and win this, or can Poole finally wake up from their slumber and show the league they mean business by coming away with the points? Having been to all Poole's away meetings I am not holding out much hope of a win. If we can get a point it will show there is some fighting spirit. Not usually a good hunting ground for us and Holder rarely does much here to be honest. But the team is decent enough to get something. I said 49-41 earlier and am sticking to that. Anything else closer is a bonus.

Why didnt we win at Leicester? Wolves? Lakeside? Coventry? We havent travelled well at all this year. If meetings were raced on paper we would be top.

A dry day, two teams at full strength, a bank holiday, more more could you want other than the first Poole away win of the season? Don't have much faith currently that we will get it but I shall be there regardless, cheering on the champs. Hopefully this meeting will have captured the Swindon publics imagination and a huge crowd will turn up. There should be a good turnout coming up from Poole.
