Kurtz brings home the points. Track was much better second half. BV going to do back to back titles.

Riss needs to quit the season. In other sports he would be stood down.

Point proven. Good race and the rain and shale have improved the track no end. Was really bad earlier.

As I said, track was patchy with loose material. Give it a few heats and it will settle and be much better than it was.

The rain could be a blessing. It was rough and patchy, at least now it’s had an even water and with fresh dirt could improve the racing. Riders were all over the place. Shocking stuff.

Atrocious track! Rough, surface full of marbles. Disgraceful. Top riders can’t even stay up.

A very early call off, especially with not much rain forecast today and looking at the rain radar nothing on the horizon. Damage must have been already done?

On paper Poole should sail past 60. But fee TJ and Flint will fight hard and Rory knows the fastest was around the track. Forecast is still decent with an afternoon shower or two.

Perhaps harsh saying retire but Riss should certainly withdraw his services until next season. Just throttled off again in his last ride and has lost his bottle a bit. Not done Ipswich any favours at all riding like this.

Riss should retire. Letting everyone down. Not on it at all.

Kelvin a touch confused in that one!

Adam def excluded for me.

You coming down Neil?

They can’t do much worse than Glasgow. I hope the Bandits manage to put up a good fight. But they do look weak. Flint as heat leader shows their strength.

The idea of the playoffs is for clubs to maximise their takings. Last year we all trooped over to KL for the second leg of the final and there were about 350 fans there. Neutral venues do not work.

I stream it to my smart tv and use the remote control. Works perfectly. Can forward and reverse to watch a meeting in about 30 mins.

Thought it was great wordplay myself.

He looked completely disinterested and was worse than Complin.

Of course it’s not! Celebrating a win will annoy the losers. That’s how sport works. Losers have to suck it up. Without the emotion, sport is worthless. All fans suffer loses. Get over it and move on.

Like when? Celebrating our win on Wednesday?

So Poole fans are not meant to grin and celebrate when we win? Ridiculous! If course other fans don’t want to see Poole win. It’s a sport! Our victories won’t last forever and when we lose other fans will celebrate. It’s the same in all sports when one club dominate for a period.

But Danyon always tries and never gives up. I would have him at Poole any day and was gutted when he was left out. Look at his attitude compared to Nowak.

On Wednesday we welcome Berwick to Wimborne Road for a Championship fixture. Will they put up more of a fight that Glasgow did? Not sure they will to be honest. Forecast is for a strong WSW breeze and afternoon showers but it’s a fair way off yet. This was the Berwick lineup at Oxford last Wednesday. Guess it’s the same? 1. Rory Schlein 2. Jye Etheridge 3. Jonas Knudsen 4. Leon Flint 5. Thomas Jorgensen 6. Jacob Hook 7. Connor Coles Rory knows the best way around Poole, and Flint has had some very decent meetings last season down here. But Etheridge, Knudsen and Jorgensen,( if fit), need to really step up to keep it competitive. Berwick reserves are decent and might pick up some points. 54-36?

Cabbage by name, cabbage between the ears.

I don’t read Chris4gillians posts. I blocked him a couple of years ago. Anyway Poole’s first trophy of the season coming up. Then we have the KO Cup final against either Redcar of Scunthorpe. That will be tougher as both ride Wimborne Road well.
