SteelShoe Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 (edited) 9 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Entertaining meeting tonight though can’t believe the Workington fans going hyper over a bonus point. Lots of talking points. Poor Tobias probably doesn’t know where his arse from his el ow is after tonight. Rotten luck in heat 6 when on a 5-1 with Lawson. Looked from the grandstand that he tried to cut to the inside down the back straight but clipped the back of Lawson which brought them both down. Then in heat 8 a coming together with Foord which again saw them both in the deck. I certainly wouldn’t have given Tobias his last ride but I am not Middlo. Rowe in heat 7. Not sure what happened. Did a footrest go through his front wheel? His handlebars were wobbling all over the place and he had to stop. Lawson was excellent as always. Tobias had a poor night. Kerr did OK. Three gated wins then faded. Just can’t pass. Cook started as usual poorly but was much better after that. Thought he should have got heat 14. Rowe wasn’t at his best. Stark did his usual. Cairns paid 9 good effort. For Workington Batchelor did his usual tailed off at the back then won a race. Bowes was excellent. Etheridge best ever performance at Poole. Normally about 4 points. Violas was pretty rubbish to be honest. Hook had his best ever meeting at Poole by far. Foord was miles off it until heat 8 with a kamikaze move which ended his night. Some good hard racing with plenty of passing. How clear are we at the top now? No idea but feel confident of top spot. Well done Workington for putting up a fight and making it entertaining. Batch and Antti are frustrating for different reasons. If Antti wants a team place in the Premiership then he needs to reproduce his Northside racing demeanour more often away from home. The rider we see at home can be so far removed from the one we see at most away tracks. Edited July 24 by SteelShoe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously if you think Workington are with a chance of the title I would give your head a wobble. Full credit though for putting up a decent effort tonight though.

Gavan Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Poole top of the league …. Just done over by a patched up Workington over 2 legs … if this was a play off Poole would be out ….. so why if Workington make top 4 can’t they win it as they have clearly just been better than Poole over 2 legs???? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Gav you know as well as I do you don’t win leagues in July. It is encouraging for them though. Chances of Bowes and Ethridge scoring paid 27 between them again are slim to none. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is encouraging for them though. Chances of Bowes and Ethridge scoring paid 27 between them again are slim to none. I know the league isn’t won in July As an Ipswich fan we were touted as the best team in the top league but injuries and certain riders off form means we aren’t certain of winning anything as proven by Kings Lynn being the better side over 2 legs in the cup beating us fair and square Most , not all , Poole fans on here are awful losers …. Maybe these 2 matches have given them a reality check that the league isn’t a cakewalk The fact is they have been beaten over 2 legs by Workington … it doesn’t matter when in the season it is April or July they lost … Workington had their two top riders off form and their third heat leader missing Poole are the best side in the league but they can get complacent … no offence to Workington but if they can beat Poole over 2 legs then others certainly can 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
