Tim G Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 36 minutes ago, LisaColette said: Maybe they should do Redcar said a couple of seasons back: prepare the track for racing not the weather. Rain was guaranteed so the track was prepared slick it’s what all teams do these days. It was a poor watch but given the current conditions at the club I think supporters are happy they have a team. I don’t think a Poole fan can really talk about preparing a track for racing after the track that was deliberately prepared slick in the playoff final match against Glasgow. Racing that night was shocking on purpose and not due to iffy weather. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 That isn’t a bad result for Poole, all things considered. It could have been a lot worse, but they’re capable of winning at home by a greater margin. The irony - arguably karma - in Poole fans criticising the track is astonishing. You produce the absolute worst racing this country has ever seen at Wimborne Road, but you’ve been winning, so can’t see the forest for the trees. I've been victim to a robbery once in my life: when I paid for the Poole versus Glasgow stream last season. It takes an incredibly negative approach to make Chris Harris look boring. A truly remarkable lack of self-awareness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can talk about any track, mainly because i have nothing to do with the preparation of the Poole one! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the point the Lisa. You can talk about anything. You can talk about how many five years olds it would take to beat you in a fight, for example. The point is that a Poole fan criticising someone else’s track is similar to Donald Trump suggesting you should watch what you eat or Stevie Wonder questioning your vision. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree with that, I noticed at Kings Lynn he had two wins then two last places which could well have been machinery issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True you can. I look forward to going on the Poole thread saying how crap the track is. That’s most my Wednesday’s full up to October, thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A truly remarkable lack of self-awareness. The track was not to Chris Harris liking because we prepared it for our riders not yours. What is wrong with that? The Oxford track was prepared with no material on it due to weather forecast, that is fair enough but it did produce a dusty track, not why we lost though, they were just gating better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we getting into this? Really? In the return leg at Ashfield, your riders - and ours - put on an absolute show of speedway. It was a pleasure to witness it. That is what speedway is all about. Don’t insult me or any other paying fan with at least half a brain with the ”we prepared it for ourselves”. Did you see Lawson and Cook in the play-off race at Ashfield? They smoked Harris and Howarth. Give them a racers track and they’ll entertain. We lost, but that is what speedway is all about. Utter brain damage, trying to justify two passes after the second bend across fifteen heats of speedway at Wimborne Road as preparing it for yourself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A truly remarkable lack of self-awareness. You paid for a one-off stream when it was being shown by BSN! Surely it is much cheaper for any speedway fan to buy one of the packages offered by BSN.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 16 Author Report Share Posted April 16 The Poole track is nowhere near as bad as some make out. If it was, then the place would be empty. Seen plenty of passing this season alone. It’s smooth and constant. Remember that Poole are always strong, so the opposition have to outgate home riders. It’s difficult to pass a home rider who is likely faster and on a track he knows. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would not have won the title if we had prepared the track to the liking of the Glasgow riders. We only smoked Harris and Howarth in the super heat when the track had changed. Harris was unbeaten up to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall them 'smoking' Harris and Howarth?! Lawson and Cook simply outgated them and they couldn't find a way past. It was a 'super' heat though with Poole worthy winners. Aside from Glasgow supporters, who will remember the runners-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not black and white; prepare it for us or them. Poole came to Ashfield twice last season and won (once on aggregate); an emphasis that 1. We do not prepare the track purely for ourselves and 2. You build strong, entertaining sides that deserve so much better than they get at Wimborne Road. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
