From where we are all sitting Cook jumped clearly both times. With Holder riding like a donkey Belle Vue can win this. I said to him before the meeting I hope he has bought yesterdays motor over with him and he said no chance.

Poor crowd here tonight. Half the usual crowd. Track has been well watered. Filmed a bit on periscope before meeting. Worth watching for Pearsons comment. https://www.periscope.tv/w/ahHwkzFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MU9kS3JtYlJaWll4WK1MV7U09dpTVta7czpPREfv-r4pXPBk1Q9gwqex1-w0

Dont let the facts get in the way of a good Gavan rant where he is so so wrong.

Agree Buk was a shoe in for double figures. Knows the track now and makes great passes. Cuppacoffee rides number one but really isnt. I would take Buk over Cuppacoffee any day of the week around Poole. Those who think different must be deluded. Clouded over in Poole but dont think theres a threat of rain. The cloud will help track conditions but I hope its been well watered. Hoping for a very entertaining meeting on a good racing track.

Lucky judging by the accident. Hope he is fit for next Monday.

And some ln this thread actually think it strengthens us Lol they know nothing. Clearly it weakens us but we must just dig in and do our job. Makes no difference where Holder rides as he has to do a heat leaders job. I would put him with Kyle to shore up those heats. Weather is good. Hope its taken a lot of water today and produces some great racing. Looking forward to it but a shame we are not full strength. Why would we want anything different to normal? A disgrace of a track? Which normally produces some of the best racing seen in the EL.

Well it must mean its grtting close to sold out then as no back straight tickets were available. Just a couple if expensive options and the tickets I purchased. First bend sounds great. Just hope it stays dry!

Just purchased two tickets for the west terrace. Is that the back straight? No idea. But what an absolute bargain at just 27.50 for two meetings. Would be suprised if this is not a sell out. Fans in the UK are used to paying kn the gate but its too much of a gamble on this occassion and with buying tickets for two days to watch the playoff for a fiver has to be one of the deals of the year. If you havent booked dont leave it late.

Thought Woryna at reserve was meant to be a trump card for Coventry. He probably saw that track and sh£t a brick.

Now perhaps others will see that Wattys form for Poole is continuing for his bnew club.

No I didn't say anything about international teams. I spoke about individual riders. I would support team GB over Australia without question. And as for stating only in Poole club before country, thats the biggest load of twaddle you have ever written. No, I take that back you have written far worse... Why on earth would I support a ride who can't be assed to ride in his own domestic league? Not a chance. And its clear I am not e only one thinking that. He cant be arsed to ride EL, I can't be arsed to support him. Its great he does some charity work. Well done to him. Absolutely. I was a massive fan of Loram and when he won his WC I was at every GP. It was great. After Lorams time had finished I supported Trick and again it was fantastic going around the GPs watching him in action. Today I cheer on Holder, and enjoy the racing whoever wins. I don't think, Tai's in this race I want him to lose. If he wins great, but no more than that, which is an absolute shame because the weight of the nation isn't behind him like it should be. He has let British Speedway down big time.

Seems all the hype we had on Lambert a couple of years ago is evaporating at a speed of knots. Now and again I hear stories about how wonderful he is and how he is the next Loram. Stories of coming from the back at Leicester a few weeks ago to grab a point for his club. Some Kings Lynn fans on here were stating he would be their number one by the end of this season. Then it comes to tonight and hes out of the u21, in a field he should have come through. Will he get a wildcard? Does he deserve one? I hope the lad developes into a useful rider and can challenge to represent teamGB regularly, but I have yet to see anything to tell me he will good enough to become a top rider. There were other casualties as well. Kurtz and Predpelski. Both should have made it through. No good blaming the rain.

In the case of a run off for world champion between Noddy Nd Tai, I would certainly be cheering on Holder. He rides for the club I support, and more importantly rides and therefore supports the Elite League. Woffinden winning the WC brings nothing to the sport in the UK because he cant be assed to ride here. My opinion would be different if he rode for a British club.

Hope its not more than a short time out. Wish him a speedy recovery. Cupacoffee rode well when Wolves were down but wont cover Bucks scoring. Gives Belle Vue a chance 4-6 in it. Forecast for Monday is dry with sunny periods.

Are you having a go at Poolekeith? He is supporting the brits over Brady.

Well you could save a quid and watch PL speedway with no "quality riders" and NL wobblers at reserve. The price is not bad value for money. PL is virtually the same price. We pay the same price at Poole and see it as good value for money. Wasn't Coventry V Poole good value for money? You were there were'nt you?

Fantastic news. He hit the ground running and has gone from strength to strength. Fully deserved.

Always confusing when people call lunchtime dinner. Dinner to me is the evening meal. Rain clearing by 3 pm is whet the latest bbc forecast has just said.

Dont forget you can watch this live on C More Sport every Tuesday live. Takes possibly three minutes to setup the moneysports app on Kodi and you are done. Its a standard definition picture but far better than a stream with loads of adds and trying to find that little grey square button.

I eent my my grandad to Swindon v (i think it was Oxford in 1973) I remember him watching and saying what a load of rubbish as first out of the start wins the race. He was not impressed and couldnt understand why anyone would bother to watch it. The racing is just as good now as it was back in the day. IMO

If both teams are full strength, I think Poole should run out by 6-8 point winners. Should be a cracker for Sky.

Wheres it started raing? Not Poole as I am looking out the window to dry roads. Moon is clear to see as are the stars. No rain at all since before 3 pm.

Rain stopped and drying out. No more rain today looking at the weather radar. Perhaps this could have gone ahead after all. Depends on how the track had held up. Probably the right call but with a dry rest of the day due it would have gone ahead had it been on Sky.

No suprise but still disappointing. Oh well roll on Monday when we face BV on Sky.

Some very good racing tonight but the crowd must have escaped from a crown bowls tournament. Just polite clapping?
