Yes track far far better than last week. No billowing dust, track was perfect. Just goes to show you put in thebtime and effort you get the rewards. Well done to the track staff to produce an excellent race strip in such trying conditions.

Poole were just so much better than Coventry, KK accepted. He was a single man on a mission and rode brilliantly. Heat one Holder had him but he dropped back to defend and team ride with Barker who would have most certainly have been picked off by Ellis but for some blocking by KK. Good crowd, decent meeting considering the gulf in quality between the two sides. Some cracking races. Hans and Harris battling, until Harris knocked Hans off, and the race of the night with Ellis seeing off Harris and King. For Poole. Holder showing good form. He should have had KK in heat 13 but went too wide off bend two allowing KK through. In heat 15bhe did exactly the same thing again! Ellis was excellent. Missed the start in heat one but was unstoppable after that beating Harris and King on the way. Team GB top 4? Buck was steady. Waived KK through in one ride. Kurtz was solid. Hans an improvement on Friday. Bjarne was excellent. Newman battled after a few weeks off. For Coventry. KK showing he is one of the best riders in the EL. Barker gated in front if Ellis in heat one and had KK to thank for his only points of the night. King did poorly. TeamGB? God help us. Bates was out of his depth. Harris got two wins but Ellis had him. TeamGB? God help us. Roynon managed two pints when Newman missed the gate and took three laps to pass Woryna giving him the chance to just hold on. Woryna was fast but just couldn't suss the right lines, getting picked off left right and centre. Looking at King and Harris tonight, the only use they will be at Belle Vue next Saturday is selling burgers. Three points and now into another two week break before Leicester come to town.

Well they have just met and Bates dropped it on bend three when under pressure from Adam. Bates ex.

Are you here Coombdog?

No dust after heat 4.

Just spoke to Woryna and he said he wanted to score the same as last night. Track is flooded at the mo. Bowser going around snd around. Drenched.

Won't be 58-32. Much closer.

Well just got back to Poole and its unbearably HOT. I have been to Chippenham anf From today but heading back south it got hotter by the mile. Must be high 20s here and clear. Bring one of those paper smog masks!

Always laugh when I read people say Poole get big crowds because there's nothing to do down here. Its a tourist resort. People come on holiday here because there is so much to do. Never heard of people saying they are off on holiday to Coventry or Ipswich. We are blessed with 7 miles of gorgeous beaches which will be heaving with hot bikini clad tottie this Arfto. And I sm stuck in Frome😔

Not sure why peole are trying to score some type of point about me leaving the stadium. I was with Rob (shakeshifter) and we decided after two laps of heat 15 it was a lost cause so made a run for it to get out of the car park quickly. We had been told there was only one gate open and didnt want to sit in a queue for 30 mins with a 3 hour journey in front of us. Its called common sense.

Thought Woryna looked quite good around Poole earlier this season. With Kyle coming back from injury he should score some points. Still think it will be a complete dust bowl. Bring a mask.

No doubt about it whoever finishes top to will want to avoid going to Wolves. With their team dialled in it would be a difficult job to keep it close enough to have a chance in the other leg. Thats why it is importang to finish top and have the pick. If Poole get their act together and finish top they would send Belle Vue to Wolves and go to Swindon or Lakeside.

Nothing wrong with Woryna I watched the Polish meeting and he was fine. Backing hot day forecast. Better leave the hoses on over night to get some water down. If we thought it dusty last week hell knows what it will be like tomorrow! Bring a mask!

Probablt realised the SEC is not all its cracked up to be and wants back in the GP series. Sorry Emil that boat has long set sail. The qualifiers are next year. Not sure he is as good a many think to be honest. Can't seenhim ever being good enough to challenge for World Champion.

Well done to you. Why not do an ebay listing so people can bid for them online?

There's already a large thread discussing this called Matt Fords vision for the EL.

Very true. Certainly can be quick when he leads. At Coventry go high and wide and hardly anyone can pass, with the exception of perhaps KK and Harris. Bates has learnt this line and thats why he won those heats. Lets see what he does at Poole on Wednesday. And to be fair Inwant all young Brits to do well. We need these youngsters as they are the future of Team GB.

Huge blow losing Bates? Where is he going to score? Coventry fans over hyping the youngster. Made two gates and then Ellis had him easily, proving why Ellis should be reserve for the scw (think its nailed on now judging by comments in SS) If Bates gates he can be quick but what I have seen from him if he misses the start is that he is clueless on passing. Poole going to get quick revenge for a laclustre performance on Friday.

Entertaining meeting but the faffing about cost the most important race. Why on earth are no Brits involved? Were they knocked out in the qualifiers? I would,also add I believe Sufidinov has thrown away his career riding in this even rather than trying to get back in the GP series. I don't think he is as good as many think he is and would be in the GP series as an also ran rather than a serious challenger, making a final here and there. Riders have come through that are better.

Thats great news. Shame he couldn't have ridden last night because that would have been enough to cover for Andersen's effort.

Have a word with Gemini will ya? She's not towing the company line by agreeing with me.

If you have been four times this year you are well aware the standard of racing at Poole is generally excellent. This must be a wind up. No sour grapes at all. I Am not pi55ed with Coventry. I am pi55ed with one of our riders for failing to to produce anywhere near what he should have done last night. I have said on three ocassions well done to Coventry.That's now 4 times.

He certainly cost us the win and four probable points. He was sitting in third on the last lap with King behind him. He looked around down the back straight and saw King was there so absolutely no excuse to throttle off and coast to the line, allowing King to grab a point. He then missed the gate and had no chance of passing, along with Holder, before in his next sliding off on the second bend. That was it from him. Unprofessional in his first, no chance after missing the gate then a fall (unhurt) You need to come and watch a meeting at Poole if you think there's no passing. Wednesday saw our worst meeting for passing this year and there was more than last night. End of the day Coventry won and their fans are happy to gloat because they beat the sport's giant. Fair play to Coventry they deserved it.

Easy Poole win.

Hahaha run out with my tail between my legs! Watched two laps and decided it was over. With a three hour journey and one way out of Brandon we decided it was a very sensible move. I said in my first post well done to Coventry but it seems managing to scrape a win against a weaker mis firing Poole has sent some Coventry fans into super gloat mode. Lets see what Wednesday brings. Think there may be more than four points in it. 😏 Could have sworn the home riders have the experience of using the banking. Steve Worral is dialled in and scoring around there for fun. Surely he is showing home track advantage?
