Fantastic meeting. Congratulations to Poole. For me, Kerr won it for Poole by his pass on Thompson in heat 12 scrubbing the possibility of a Glasgow win without the need for a super heat.

We interviewed Chris Harris because he won, by quite some way the public vote as rider of the night. This was after the trophy presentation and while the Poole riders were at the other side of the stadium being interviewed. The rest of the Poole rider interviews are on Facebook and have been viewed 9000 times so far. We also interviewed Richard Lawson and Zach Cook on the main show as soon as they took their helmets off after the super heat. -
Well done Poole, the better team won imo. Glasgow gave it everything but Poole did what was required when it mattered. Racing was excellent and show cased the Sport in a great light.

Great meeting to attend, the fans tried there best to get the Tigers over the line but it was heartbreak in the ill named Superheat. Should 30 heats of league title Speedway really be decided like that ?. You will be lucky to see a better individual performance than that from Bomber tonight. His hunting down and outrageous passes had to be witnessed live to really appreciate the skill and courage involved. He tried his best to get them over the line but ultimately failed. Like you say the Pirates gated better in both of heats 15 and 16 and it did slicken off enough to preclude him repeating his heroics of heat 15. Don't think Kyle Howarth was the man for the Superheat following his performance in 15. His gating also hadn't been great throughout the meeting. The Pirates found enough to do it again,you can only admire them for that but it would have been nice to see the Tigers lift the trophy.

Stayed at Shorefield Country Club this week {sounds posh} persuaded the wife to attend the Poole meeting with me on Wednesday night. Back in the day when we had southern tours, it was always a trip to Poole after Berwick had been at Weymouth the previous night. So my last visit to Poole was a 39-39 draw with Kings Lynn in 1980 when i was just a youngster. Arrived early on Wednesday as i reminded the wife, this is not Berwick where i can finish my pint at 6-50pm and flash my season ticket and walk straight in. Big queues already forming but we steadily moved further forward then shock horror we were in the cash only line, but i had bought tickets online looked at the queue for that line and well a few swear words under my breath lol. But a Poole fan then hearing our plight and we had came from Berwick let us into the queue so whoever you were sir a big thankyou. i have read the comments about the meeting not being the best you will ever see, with very little happening once riders came out the 2nd bend but the score kept it interesting till the end. But apart from that i found the meeting was run very slickly, excellent PA System ensured we did not miss any announcements or race results and the kingsize hotdog went down well. Met forum member @LisaColette as well. Meeting was done and dusted by around 9-15pm, so plenty time to get to station to get train back to New Milford. Just like to offer my congratulations following tonight's result at Glasgow on becoming 2025 Champions,
