Chris 'Bomber' Harris is first to fly the nest and has signed for Birmingham at Championship Level !!!

I opened another bottle of red to celebrate !!!

The whole way May has handled this has been shoddy to match his turnout !

I have reliable information that makes me have that "cynical view" ! I have just read the new team listings, that wasn't thrown together in a day was it !!! Let's leave it at that.

There is more to this than meets the eye ! How is it that after the awful match at Berwick just a week before and No1 returns only 3 points and nothing is said and yet within a week we have lost one popular and improving rider and another who is a Somerset asset who is making inroads to his form and regain of confidence after injury and later an off that would have seen most riders withdraw from the meeting ! Did these lads simply leave by their own will or were their departures part of a bigger plan, so they were made to feel so uncomfortable that leaving was their only option ??? !!!

Just like to put it on record that Schlime Ball is not so popular at the Oaktree. Last week against Redcar , he came out with the others on the victory parade and then verbaly abused the Start Marshal within earshot of the paying punters about the handling of the start of Ht 15, apparently Palm Toft's handlebars were encroaching on Schlime Ball's box and he claimed it impeded on his start. He has also taken to retiring if he misses out on the start as well ! Self opinionated in my book !

Barker eh !!!

Nice to have seen Wrighty but better if Bomber is back and Henry. Also looking forward to seeing how Jake will perform !

Move on !!! In six months time you will have forgotten all this and embraced the team you have !!! Go Rebels !!!

It's time to move on. Unfortunately the trend has changed since the halcyon days and riders never stay long now. I wish Jake and Brads all the best !

Yes but in the Premiership teams meet twice away and at home, where's in the Championship they meet once away and once at home ! Simples !!!

That's got my speedway appetite going !!!

I don't think the suggested teams look to bad tbh ! You can't beat Bread and Butter Racers !!!

Why don Why don't you go into a corner, stand on your head and speak up !!!

FOR SALE :- POOLE PIRATES SPEEDWAY !!! THE BEGINNING OF THE END !!! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD INVEST IN SPEEDWAY AT THIS TIME WITH BRITISH SPEEDWAY IN THE TURMOIL IT IS IN ?!! AS I SAID, THE BEGINNING OF THE END , NOT JUST FOR POOLE BUT MANY OTHERS !!!

Apparently he had strained his back earlier and wasn't fit to take another ride in 15

Doyle had strained his back earlier in the match and wasn't fit to take another ride .

I am fully aware that he said it on TV but it was tongue in cheek and Poole bit hook line and sinker !!! As far as TV entertainment value goes we thought it was a great meeting and so did they. By the way, how did your lot get on tonight !!!

Poole should be fined heavily for that, why wasn't the referee consulted after the incident with JD ? You lot had a nerve accusing Somerset of doctoring the track at Oaktree ! At least we tend ours !!! Yours resembles a bomb site !!!

Poole fans are the biggest load of guffers I have ever encountered !!!

Poole fans are all "Experts" aren't they !!!

They certainly were ray c !!! I wish we still had them !!! Nobody moaned quite so much then either, least of all Poole ! In those days they were a good outfit of fans and riders. One Malcolm Simmons springs to mind !!!

What ? Like the "Track Spare" we used to have in the old days !!! I remember Frank Aufrett who rode for Leicester in the 70s rode the "Track Spare" one meeting because his own had packed up and he scored the most points in that match than he had all season !!! It was reported that he liked it so much he offered Vic White money to by it from the club !!!

Didn't take too many meetings for the Wimbourne Road Faithful to get back to there old carping ways and whinging at just about everything. Why can't you lot be gracious in defeat for once !!! You were stuffed !!! End of !!!
