When I read the article, he had read what Danny Ford had said the wrong way, and it wasn’t as he thought. So no, we don’t have three points to play with!

We should be pointed at and laughed at. Please, however, don’t tolerate, never mind excuse this track. Trust me; it will play its part in the death of the sport in this country. This is the third meeting BSN have covered at Wimborne Road this season and it’s been the same dull, boring, stale, lifeless, monotonous show every single time. This isn’t unique to this evening. You haven't watched the crap served up at Leicester and Birmingham lately then 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCS Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Having watched the meeting on tv tonight i think its great that poole can still get great crowds but i must admit after watching other meetings at poole you have got to agree the racing is not the best. so its good for speedway they can still get a great crowds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellers101 Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 1 hour ago, Steve Shovlar said: Wow. Just got back and read through the tripe on here.😅 A huge crowd tonight of over 3000. Programs sold out, big queues at the bars and food outlets. Grandstand packed with three/four deep in front and crowded on the first and second bends. The Pirate faithful turned up to watch the clash at the top of the league and be introduced to our new youngster Will Cairns. And what a debut for this new lad. Seriously stylish in a bike, a decent gater, big for his age and full of confidence. Still raw of course but to score like that on his debut was something else. Don’t see him at reserve for very long. Even did a donut. Then before heat 15 did a running lap around the to high five the many young (and old) pirate fans around the dog track. Glasgow were absolutely pathetic in what were admittedly harsh conditions due to the 30+C heatwave over the last few days. It was scorcheo in the grandstand before tapes up. The track staff were working very hard all night to keep the dust away and succeeded. Riders after the meeting when interviewed said it was difficult due to heat and of course no chance of any grip. They asked for the track not to be watered on the inside. Of course us Poole fans loved it, giving a thrashing to our main rivals this season. As Richard Lawson said when interviewed, “we sent them all the way back up north with their tails between their legs.” As for the moans and groans on here, if a superior team gates, they are not going to get caught and passed, it’s as simple as that. And there was only one team up for the fight tonight. Happens all the time. I would imagine over 3000 Pirates fans left Wimborne Road tonight extremely happy, judging by the roars of approval throughout the match. Whilst tonight there was very little drama due to the meeting being one sided, winning brings in the crowds. We will see much better meetings this season with better opposition and kinder weather. Tripe? It doesn't matter how many people were there or what the score was the track was shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against the Glasgow reserves, but they must be the weakest in the league. Poland last night in the U24 league. 5 rides 5 lasts. Glasgow will win nothing with such a weak reserve pairing. Poole reserves 13+2 Glasgow 1 and that was when Hodder beat Perry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's hope 3,000 fans didnt go to watch speedway because that was a disgrace. As for track staff working very hard, working very hard on what exactly, couldnt even keep the dust down on a bald track. Blue groove by heat 5, home and away riders complaining about a bare bumpy track. Say what you want about Glasgows team but bottomline your track is an embarrassment to speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track staff at Poole as all tracks work bloody hard. Sometimes things don't go their way but do not accuse hard working volunteers of not working. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 (edited) Glasgow fans clutching at their pearls after being demolished. Track was the same for both set of riders. Granted in the heat conditions were not perfect but it wasn’t dangerous. Only one faller all night from an inexperienced reserve under pressure. As for Cairns only beating Hodder, Perry and Hume. Isn’t that what he was meant to do? Scoring paid 9 on his debut, and the way he scored it, was very impressive. Should have had Starke’s last ride to be fair but the meeting was done by then. Think he is going to make quite a mark on the sport as long as he stays fit. Still buzzing from last night. Wasn’t heat 13 entertaining? Lawson and Harris battling? Rowe when he came through past the Thompson twins? Lawson giving Howarth a lesson on hard but fair racing? Not sure there’s a lot of love between Lawson and Howarth.

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Can anyone fathom a reason for why that track produces such poor racing? As I mentioned last night, I remember Wimborne Road producing magical racing with the SWC. Heat thirteen was good last night, but it took seven - yes, seven - heats before we saw a pass beyond the second bend. All in all, I counted four passes the entire evening after the first lap. Poole are going to win this league. They wiped the floor with us, but what they serve on that track from an entertainment perspective will play its part in killing British speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
