  1. As said expected result … Kurtz can gate race over Shows how far Ipswich have fallen from absolutely destroying a stronger Belle Vue last season Emil replaced by Lawson Dan T replaced by Nicholls Ellis replaced by KJP The only change that worked a bit was Tobi for Doyle The other 3 changes were so much weaker Hopefully plans are afoot for a much better team next season and I hope that Lawson never rides for us again Belle Vue can only beat what’s in front of them but this has been the most one sided boring season since we won it in 1998 Last season all 4 teams had a realistic chance if winning This season only one team can win it and it’s been dull as you like
  2. Belle Vue should win this comfortably if Blodorn Tate and Cook do what they did last time Kurtz will be fine if he gates but he won’t try if behind understandably Shame this season Ipswich are so understrength as we absolutely destroyed a stronger Belle Vue last season Belle Vue comfortably and should win on the night
  3. Purposely didn’t buy the stream as we knew the racing would be garbage Cant blame the Poole fans for going though as I go to Ipswich when I can but wouldn’t expect a neutral fan to buy a meeting from Foxhall Trouble is Poole fans are just in their own bubble …can’t criticise the track can they Poole only want to win we have seen that over the years and they will do it any cost …. The fans are notoriously fickle as proved in the early 90’s when they couldn’t get anyone through the gates As for riders these days they wag the tail they are happy for slick tracks with no passing set the bike up to gate and game over Riders back in the day were far more skilled than the current crop you had natural motorcyclists who could ride anywhere not just the big fast tracks Joe Screen….Mark Loram and latterly Darcy Ward…. These guys could ride anywhere … the only one close to them is Bewley I always remember seeing an interview with Todd Wiltshire a few years ago saying the best rides he had seen were Mark Loram Darcy Ward and Andrew Silver at Arena Essex and the skill involved….and then seeing Loram race the boards at Exeter Poole used to be good …. Find the race between Havvy Loram Hancock and Hamill on you tube or the World Cup at Poole The fact is Poole is run as a business now and it wasn’t back then … to keep the Poole fans coming they have to win which means making the track crap to suit the likes of gaters like Lawson and Kerr Poole look after their riders no question but it would do Cooper the world of good to have a better home track
  4. Belle Vue van only beat what’s in front of them and they have had a fairly easy ride this season Bewley getting injured was awful but it happened early allowing them to get Doyle ….. Sheffield lost their top rider and have been unable to replace him knocking the stuffing out of the side …. If holder was injured before Bewley then Sheffield may well have had Doyle Leicester have lost the leagues top rider and had a rider retire on them Ipswich because of the uncertainty of the club running lost arguably the top 2 riders in the league along with top second strings and top reserve and similar to Northampton thrown together last minute and never likely to compete And well Kings Lynn are just Kings Lynn lol All in all a cakewalk for Belle Vue this season though they have choked before but none of Sheffield Leicester or Ipswich are capable with their current sides to give Belle Vue any trouble at home
  5. We beat Belle Vue 4 times last season and very easily as well … but you did win at our place in 2024 when we had no Doyle or Emil and lost Rew after 1 ride Would have been a bit embarrassing if you hadn’t won at our place tonight with our weakest 1-7 in years and having a track specialist for once Im not sure how Belle Vue would cope losing Kurtz Bewley Cook and Tate and having Lawson Musielek Nicholls and Pedersen replace them …. Like we lost Doyle Emil Ellis and Dan T Still Belle Vue can only beat what’s in front of them and Tate in particular was outstanding League title is belie vues unless they choke …. But we will be back with a full winter to get a team not a few weeks
  6. Can’t see Kurtz trying to hard if he gets behind with a huge GP the weekend trouble is if he makes the gate we won’t catch him never a better time for Belle Vue to beat a full strength Ipswich side
  7. In theory yes But there is a GP Saturday so I’m not sure Kurtz will give it his all … we know Doyle will Kurtz this season though is up against inferior witches then the last 2 seasons with no Doyle and Emil against him so he should be able to gate and get double figures A lot depends on Blodorn and Cook
  8. But my dad is bigger than your dad Amazing counter argument there well done Don’t think I’ve ever said a big event should be held at Ipswich … our track is as bad as Pooles I don’t deny that But why hold a showpiece event on a crap track … the leagues best riders having to race on an awful track it was a borefest Poole and Ipswich are very similar … riders race for both clubs because both clubs look after their riders extremely well … no rider goes to Poole or Ipswich because they are excited about the track …. They go there because they will be paid on time at a professional club
  9. One thing is for sure no big events should be held at Poole Well done Berwick
  10. Lawson again showing utter contempt towards the fans and teammates He needs to be gone
  11. Poole have only ridden 2 matches at home where their opponents have not had a guest …… can’t moan about your riders missing
  12. As I’ve said to you strange bunch of Poole fans no issue with the scoring from Lawson but he isn’t a team player for us …. If he is a Poole then so be it but it’s irrelevant
  13. He mentions me in every post he writes it’s a bit weird
