I'm reliably informed that last night was Somersets biggest ever away win since formation.

I remember the days when away from home if we hit 30 pts we called it a win 😂

The delay at Somerset was not due to the promotion messing up. It was due to the ambulance being stuck on the M5. The ambulance duly arrived and a short further delay was to allow the spectators who had been caught in the traffic to get in. I travel from Poole to Somerset Fridays and I can tell you it was the worst traffic I've experienced traveling to the Oak Tree.

1/2 mile from the stadium and no rain here.

I'm guessing, but maybe Matt doesn't want to run against Eoro 2016?

No lack of ambition on his part, just a lack of rides.

Watched it on Sky and thought nothing wrong with Cooks first start, second one a bit iffy though.

I work 1/2 mile from the stadium and can tell you it did rain after 11. Stopped about 1 and showers in the afternoon.

Bournemouth are also laying on free coaches for fans with tickets.

Here you go. http://www.raintoday.co.uk

The council own the stadium. Stadia UK (greyhounds) have the lease (probably 10+ yrs remaining). I think Poole Speedway rent it annually but I'm not sure.

I would think it depends on how they get on next season. I may be wrong but I don't think their current ground satisfies FA specs if they get promoted again. Could cause problems for the speedway if there is a concerted effort towards PTFC returning to Wimborne Rd. There is not room enough for dogs, football & speedway. It would require a major rebuild of the stadium (can't see the FA approving the glass stand), or one of the sports loses out. As the dogs hold the lease it won't be them so if PTFC are allowed to move back then the Pirates would need to find another home.

And which particular rule are they bending then?

Welcome back Daddy Cool 👍🏻

To be fair Shovvy, Freddie had a puncture in ht 15. We were just unlucky on the night with his ef and puncture. That said though Watty really needs to get his act together.

Fastest time since 2012 apparently.

Not the greatest meeting I've ever seen but there was some great racing in the latter half of the meeting

If you'd been there you would have seen some great racing. I did.

KK hit the kerb nothing to do with the track just a misjudgement.

Glad to see the thread's still bubbling alone nicely

I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'm following something I said didn't exist. It may be time for me to go off to a rocking chair and start dribbling. 😉

I've just had another look and I'm actually following them 😂

Looks like I typed the search on Twitter incorrectly. My apologies.

It doesn't really matter who the sources are. They will only have been told one side of the story. I'm not suggesting for one minute that Gavan is wrong, I'm just pointing out that unless you were actually there you don't know. So arguing about is pointless. I have no opinion one way or the other on an event that happened, what, 15 years ago. I'm fed up with the same few posters disrupting perfectly good threads, your Helicopter thread is a case in point.
