Its easy money for EL heat leafers. Or should be. They should average over ten. I believe that any EL heat leader should be nowhere near the PL. However now the MC have given their clear reason it shows that the reason was clash of racenight and nothing more than that. A lot on here should be apologising the the MC for thier wayward remarks.

Came onto this threading thinking just how stupid it is for Cook to be riding in the PL, considering he is an EL heat leader. In no way should he be dropping down. Now reading a few pages in, common sense has been used by the MC to block the move. It has upset the Peterborough promotion but tough. An EL heat leader should be nowhere near a PL team berth. Easy pickings and to make easy money. That's all this was. Cook hasnt yet been picked to ride for his Polish club. They would never give him a berth if they see is after easy money. BSPA MC are bang on the money with stopping the move IMO. Absolutely agree. No place for Cook in the PL. can't see why some are moaning at the MC who have made the right call IMO.

The problem with Coventry is that their fanshave far too high expectations. The club has no money and even if it did, whats the point because the fans have given up and would rather moan on here than go along and support their team in their last season. If Poole announced today that the council have sold the stadium to Barratt Homes and this was our last season, there would be major uproar from Poole fans and sponsors. But Coventry fans just seem to have meekly given up, a bit like their team this season judging by the posts on here.

Poole V Wolves Ela 4/5/16

Lots of dirt on the track last night. A far far better meeting than the Lakeside V BV show. Shame Sky dont head to Wimborne Road more often. The racing was very good last night with Hans, Buck and Thorsell having some very good battles. https://www.periscope.tv/w/afm0KTFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MWpNS2dEd3BFcWpHTACr1TFK9WPg23kR0d9JPoUnvvEDqxoIh_nkmhkVPb83 Showing the new look 4th bend. -

To be honest the score flatters Wolves. In two heats Poole were home and dry on 5-1's when disaster struck. In the first Howarth fell in third and Thorsell laid it down. In the rerun he gated second and picked off Wright. In the other Holder and Hans were cruising on a 5-1 when Holder lost his steel shoe. Those 8 points would have brought it to 59-31. And Poole were a weakened side tonight with Auty nowhere near a point. Six points from Bjarnes rides. However it was an excellent and thrilling meeting with plenty of great races, none more so than when Lindgren and Masters tried to team ride Hans out. Brilliant stuff from the Poole captain to slice between them off bend four of the third lap. Also interesting to see that the centre green has been cut back on the 4th bend by at least a metre. The white line is still in the same place. Has a rider asked for this so he can put his front wheel over the line and cut around the inside better? So off we go to Leicester on Monday. Ellis is riding Saturday and will see how he feels but wants to ride. Kyle was interviewed and said he had sepsis and it was quite serious. He said he had never felt pain like it last Sunday night. Hoping to be back in a couple of weeks if all goes well. -

Just had a good chat with Ellis in the pits. Feeling a bit beaten up on hus thinghs but hoping to ride on Saturday and if he gets through that will ride at Leicester. What a nice lad is is too. Havent seen Kyle Newman but he is out of hospital. Could be a while yet before he is back. -

If Ellis can easily see off Lindgren around Monmore, he can easily hold his own in the PL. But prrhaps he wants to bypass the PL and go straight EL ala Bridger? -

Ellis saw off Lindgren around Monmore last night quite comfortably. From what I have seen if Ellis this season He has a future in the sport and is an EL rider in the making. Auty is now going backwards in his career. Ellis for me any day of the week. -

Holder is currently displaying the same form tonight in Sweden that he displayed last night at Monmore. -

Do you actually believe Auty and Wright will score as well as Ellis and Newman tomorrow? Seriously? We are hugely weakened. -
Sorry don't understand. What do you mean?

What's the injury diagnosis for Ellis? -
Decimated Poole take on the new title favourites at Wimborne Road tomorrow and theres no better time for Wolves to bring their team along. An ideal opportunity to grab all 4 points on offer. It will take a monumental effort from patched up Poole to get anything out of this. With both hig scoring reserves out of action, Ellis after a nasty spill and Newman laid up with a nasty groin issue, their scoring ability will be badly missed. Add to that no Bjarne and Poole could be chasing shadows from unbeaten powerhouse Wolverhampton, who will be looking for all four points. Holder needs to pull his finger out. Hans and Buckowski are doing fine as is Kurtz. With the weather set fair it should be a big crowd and they will want to see much more effort than was put in by some of the team on Monday night. Thoughts?

Wolverhampton V Poole. Ela 2/5/16

On our way back and well done to Wolves. Must now be clear favourites for the league after that demolition job on us. In a way good to get the mantle of favourites off our back. I knew we would lose this but not in such a pathetic way. The only riders that can come out of this with ang credit are Hans, Buck and Ellis who battled all night. Kerr was simply not a replacement for Newman while Bjarne was wobbling around like Davey Watt and doing just as badly. Main complaint though is Holder who clearly didnt want to be there. He gave the opposition a bike length out of the tapes in three of his four heats and in 13 was 60 metres behind third place. I hope Ellis is Ok a nasty crash and his bike went right over the first bend fence. Wolves the title favourites? Or Swindon? -

Ambulance to hospital for Ellis. He walked to ambulance not life threatening but bad enough to take a ride to casualty by the look of it. -
