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.

Have Coventry dropped him?

Bad luck to Leicester after a fantastic fightback. Klindt paid 21 a remarkable acheivement well done to him. You couls see it coming in heat 15 though.

There has to be a gap between boss and riders. Without it everyone would take the P. I guess the riders know who the boss is and know they cant gret away with it or the old guillotine will come down regardless of who you are. Watty, Boycey, Loram and others have all felt the chop. The pressure of knowing not giving your best could result in losing your place certainly concentrates the mind. No one is safe yet overall the Pirates ship is a happy one.

Matt is firing off at the riders for underperformjng away from home. We should not be scrapping a last gasp draw at Leicester and not trying at Wolves.

Pretty strong talk from Matt Ford and rightly so. Its pretty clear who his remarks are aimed at. Truth is we should be doing better away from home.

So the same as saying no Nick morris. Surely Swindon can compensate? Well they have Tungate.

The rules themselves are not complicated. Its all the addons to seal up holes that are being exploited. No good having a set of rules a team can dive through like water through a seive. The average fiasco must be number one on the adjenda. Secondly, as someone else posted the other day, there only has to be two more rules. 1. Poole to win. 2. If Poole are losing, see rule one.

No absolutely not. Bjarne is part of the team as is every other rider but the loss of one of our top scorers certainly cost us big time on Monday. A guest is not going to cover for him. And who will be available on Monday? Not making excuses just saying it as it is. As for the weather the BBC are currently saying they cant predict it yet as it is uncertain what is going to happen with the weather patterns. Could be heavy thundery rain or a bright sunny day.

I hear the Trans MF Pro Race Team scarves have sold out so many are cheering them on......lol. What a load of old crap this tournament is. Who gives two hoots about supporting team boll or Fogo Power? Its pathetc and completely and utterly meaningless.

Time to revive this thread now its getting closer. After Pooles defeat on Monday its not looking good to get anything out of this meeting. Swindon ripped Belle Vue apart and they could well do the same to us on Monday afternoon. Pirates on paper look strong but meetings are not won on paper and on track the team have yet to click at all. Swindon has never been a good hunting ground and we often come away just missing out on the bonus point for keeping it close. Not sure if Buckowski is back but we missed him badly on Monday and a guest is not likely to do better, as was shown against Belle Vue. 49-41.

Trolling at its best. Apart from Newmand and Buk we are a team of gating tarts. Guess I must have imagined hans a couple of weeks ago passing two riders at the same time. And Holder I guess never makes a pass. He won the world title from the gate. Sure. The track has produced some super racing this season. Wednesday it was difficult and definately over watered and bumpy. It will be sorted.

Needed another season in the PL imo. Still a very raw talent.

Yes we did it on purpose, with a large crowd and Sky in attendance. Dont be ridiculous, everybody wanted that meeting to take place.
