Or about a grand!

Either way,it's wrong to gamble on only one ambulance, if it gets awarded I would imagine the knock on effect will cost Poole alot more than a grand. Even little ole Plymouth has 2 ambulances!!

Should be compulsory imo.

If it gets awarded both Poole and Oxford will most likely be in the Semi Finals so it won’t.. Some clubs have fans, even promoters who are paramedics, this helps. But you can’t mess about with this stuff, if something bad happens you have to show you have the right facilities, if not frankly people will end up in jail, and if the right treatment isn’t available well you can think what the outcome can be. What other clubs do is their situation. Considering the proximity of Poole stadium to the hospital, would you spend 2.5 or 3 grand a night for an ambulance just in case?

Most clubs have 2 ambulances, Plymouth is close to the hospital a&e department, no excuse should be compulsory if anyone can afford it Poole can.

[Triple.H.]

Any Poole supporters wish they'd stayed at home and watched a team they don't support get knocked out in the SF of the Champions League ?

I agree.   You get a fully-equipped private ambulance, complete with paramedic, for much less.   Presumably even in Dorset!

you can't put a price on someones life or serious injury no matter the distance to the hospital just to save money !!!

Hopefully they've got Sweet Caroline on repeat to help pass the time.

They don't do that anymore now Karl isn't the DJ.

The Manchester United of Speedway skimping on money again! Was the supermarket trolley out of action? 🛒

I hope Gilkes is back on a bike soon, he's been really impressive on his few outings in a Lions race suit

Good! 👍

I was almost about to compliment Schroeck till I saw he replaced McDiarmid with Killeen in heat 12. McDiarmid had just got a 5-1 in heat 11 & scored 9+1 from 4 rides, beating Starke, Marson (2), Lawson, Cook & Kerr.

While Killeen had scored 3+1 from 3 rides beating Starke & Marson (2).

Was Schroeck trying to throw it away?

Luckily for him Oxford still won.

Crazy decision

Kerr and Starke not up to the job.

Another Schroecker potentially!

I also think Middlo probably gaffed with the TS though going one race too early.

First of all well done to Oxford. They started on fire and left us for dead out of the gate in the first half of the meeting.

What looked like an innocuous fall for Dan Gilkes turned into a very long break. He sort of slid off, but went over to his right and I believe, though not confirmed, put his arm out and broke it. He was on the track for a very long time and when moved, on an ambulance stretcher, was on a drip, breathing oxygen and holding his arm close to his chest.   Let’s all hope he has a speedy recovery.

The delay was frankly ridiculous. No county ambulance available. So the casualty had to be taken to hospital, 5 minutes away, then it too a while for the patient to be handed over before it could return. 
 

Pirates worked their way back into the meeting but Kerr’s throttle went the wrong way when on a 5-1 in heat 13. It ended up with us needing a 5-1 in heat 15 to force a draw, but Masters got a big roller and to the dismay of the crowd the ref let it go. Lawson got by on lap 3 but it was too much for Cook.

A few thoughts. Kerr is a terrible signing so far. Just not good enough. His bike packing up on the final bend cost us a draw, then he was picked of by an excellent McDiamond like he was standing still, then in heat 13 shut off when on a 5-1. The rest blew hot and cold. Believe changes will happen to this side, and I am not talking Cairns.

Special mention to McDiamond. Spoke to him before the meeting and he is a level headed young man and could be a future top Aussie. Very good signing who won’t be at reserve for long.

I thought that as well. Would have been better to take a reserve out and put Lawson in.

Re ht 13,went to the glass grandstand tonight(to avoid the dust)had a perfect view of the second bend exit and lawson ran kerr to within an inch of the fence,kerr had to shut off,I assume he thought it was masters coming round the outside

Get Lee Smart or Brendan Johnson on line 1 immediately.
