Dont know what the premier boys do it in or what the track record is but i think Ward holds it and he's not premier any more.

On the subject of the attendance i would say 8500 is way over exaggerated,i would say 5000 max.

I think skeletor was watching another meeting,fantasic meeting,great racing and superb stadium and all for 15 quid if you booked in advance what a bargain.

I think the fastest was Harris 59.22.

Ward will be in the team,Mcgowan won't,Doolan maybe.

I can't see what some people see in Mcgowan,he is in the premier because he is not good enough for the elite league any more.

Absolutely right,Kennett has been awful as he was on telly last night getting passed by reserves.

Definately go with Darcy,gutted Crumpie and Adams not being there.

Its so obvious hes lowered his average on purpose,a 4.5 rider doesnt become a 3 point rider so quickly and how convenient he just managed to do 12 meetings.

He is good enough to be a reserve in the elite league,he's much better than his current average suggests.

It seems judging by the comments on the Stoke site,an un-named elite league team,probably Peterborough,have been refused their new revised line up which means Vissing is now out of work.

Panthers averaging fixing is under way,rides 12 matches for Ipswich, lowers his average,then rides for Stoke just to keep his hand in,now back to Panthers,sounds very dodgy.

Maybe looking at the replays wouldn't have achieved anything but i believe even the so called experts on the tv said that errors had been made.I'm not advocating cameras at every meeting but when you have the benefit of being able to use them,why wouldn't you. If the play off final referee hadn't used the replays perhaps Lindgren may have been excluded.

This discussion was not started by me but by several posters who don't all live in the Poole area and all agreed about some very dubious decisions. If there is doubt and the referee has the benefit of looking at replays, why didnt he.Surely it is unprofessional if the technology is there not to use it.If after looking at replays he still comes to the same decision then fair enough but not to at least look at one replay isnt being fair to either team.

I didn't say that if a referee made a couple of mistakes they should be sacked and i am not just looking at this from a biased point of view as i have been to many meetings where my team was not involved and the standard of some referees seems to be not as good as it should be. Also it is my understanding that mr Robinson has a history of dubious or blatently wrong decisions and if that is the case then surely his competence must come into question. I understand that it may only be a part time job and they largely do it for the love of the sport but there still has to be an element of accountability and has any referee been stood down after assessment.

But in those other soprts the referee has to answer his actions but in speedway it is never questioned,i believe a premier league referee was demoted to championship football matches after a match where he made several mistakes.

No its not an over the top notion as its not the first time,if i did a bad job over and over again i would expect to be sacked.

The bottom line is the referee was a joke and should be sacked,incompetence like this makes the sport look ridiculous. Still i expect he will referee a gp soon no doubt.

Why do Coventry fans feel the need to boo Adams? Is their history or was it just he beat Harris.

Think its 8 pm start but 20 quids a bargain compared to the challenge.

You seem to be in a minority,alot of people have posted the meeting was very good at all.Very pleased for Zorro.I didsnt go because it was just not good value,You dont have to pay 60 quid for cardiff,you can get in for half that and the atmosphere is fantastic and the racing wasnt bad last year either,the elrc is cheaper with more races and a better line up.

Agreed,that was my opinion,looked forward to it until they announced the prices,better line up in the elrc for less money.My top three would be Lindgren,Holder,Harris.

Cant agree with 16 of the best riders comment.

Cant help thinking the word pussy has been changed from the original!

Cant see it being a great meeting,too many races with top riders against also rans,i probably would have gone if it was 20 quid but 25 just seems too much.
