What an excellent statement you have made in reply to this person who clearly is not a speedway fan just someone who likes making random comments about Poole mainly derogatory because his or her team and do we know who he or she supports are not as successful as Poole.

I guess Glasgow owners wanted to win desperately and saw this Russian chap as the golden ticket, agreed he didn't win it on his own but allowed Brennan to go at 2 making their 1 & 2 very strong and by all accounts they are quite rich no idea what they do but it allowed them to pay his wages which I assume we're quite substantial.Still they won and to be fair some of their riders were quick away from the start which looked like a bucket of slop on the live feed.We move on and we've still got a trophy and one more final to go.We made 3 finals this year still lots to celebrate and I'm sure the Ford's will build a good side next season I just hope all the other teams do.

Move up to the few sides left in the "prem" but championship is the breadwinner for lots of riders.

Let's hope the Monarchs are still at the tapes next year and not another track to fall by the wayside.Assume Pickering has been tapped up by another team and can't blame him if it's a club who may be near the top and winning trophies although when I mentioned this is the aim for riders earlier this season was shot down by certain contributors on here,still as a Poole fan I don't think he's heading for Wimborne Road.Lawson is nailed on to be here next year and assume Worrall is although someone said he's going back up north next year if that was the case Pickering maybe or an alternative would be Ryan Douglas flies around our track could he resist the lure of Poole or am I deluded you decide.

No secret at Poole they just build winning sides every year and as I have said many times I wish all teams could do the same your often on here clearly a fan why do you think Poole always get it right and other clubs don't is it money because of it was surely Glasgow would win only going on comments on here.

Who gets the first leg of the final ?

Absolutely I'm sure the Ford's were on it if we were in need of a change something about it isn't right but rules are rules so good on Glasgow for getting it done at whatever cost.Never heard of the chap myself but can he ride other play off tracks only time will tell but certainly makes you stronger well done to the owners or whoever was on the ball to sign him.

I imagine the Ford's and the senior riders have already decided who we play good to finish top though after building a new side this year is it money that makes us build good teams well I suppose of it was by all accounts Glasgow would be top or just the Ford's knowledge and the chance to ride at Poole.

Well I suppose there is no chance of Poole picking Oxford or Glasgow let them two play each other as regards to this Tarasenko chap what a good bit of business that could be straight out of Matt Ford's cunning plans not sure he ever got a premier rider on a 5 average but we'll done Glasgow but can be ride Oxford and Wimborne Road time will tell.

I thought this was a fan site for some honest and light hearted fun but clearly your comments and many other relating to Poole are not.I have said before I wish all teams were equal and any team could win the title and I still wish that could happen but after all the nasty and negative comments on here regarding Poole I hope we win the the title for the third year running

Don't label all Poole fans as numbskulls I certainly aint one.Supported Poole all my life just because they win a lot of trophies makes people envious.I would love to have all teams equal and all having a chance of winning the league but that ain't possible I wish it was.How lop sided this league has been this year 4 teams cast adrift that's no good for the long term speedway.No clowns at Wimborne Road if all clubs had owners like the Ford's how exciting the league would be just remind me when did Ipswich win a league title yes 1998.The way teams are folding with Peterborough and Wolverhampton closing we'll be lucky to have a league next year let's hope we have and as for digging people out like you have and I don't know you and you may be a nice person just remember and I may be wrong but didn't Starman has some serious health issues be lucky you don't walk in their shoes or maybe you have

If Poole are on first or second I don't think it will make any difference to the result Poole are like Casey Jones and the Cannonball Express for anyone who's old enough to remember there's no stopping them now well had a few San miguels ,love them or hate them and why would you the Ford's know how to build a winning team be honest would you not have wanted them to rock up your team years ago I will be honest I don't want Poole to be as has been said a gaters track and it was not years ago when Fossengen,Eide,Preston (remember them ) etc were doing there stuff but reading the comments there was loads of passing v Redcar so summing up who knows who will be top probably Poole after Edinburgh meeting after that who knows just so long as the final whoever we play (only kidding) is a good fitting end to the season

They may be successful business people and good for them making money can't fault that at all but successful speedway promoters clearly not yet, money doesn't buy trophies/win leagues etc Poole have the knack of building winning teams and winning trophies.

Surely when they do the track walk they can all see the start line and set their bikes up accordingly.You can't hide the dirt and must be able to clearly see what it looks like so why do people moan about it when it's common knowledge that apparently Poole is a gaters track of which I have no idea I don't ride bikes but are people saying only Poole can gate at Wimborne Road if you look out the window and it's pouring with rain you don't go out without a coat so it no surprise when you get wet

Lots of comments across these posts about the Poole track but if all the fans know what it is like surely these riders who ride tracks for a living should adjust their bikes to fly away at the start like Poole are said to do.Not sure our track is as bad as certain people make out otherwise Poole wouldn't get such big crowds as no one wants to watch processions every week.Darcy,Chris and Magic were racers was the track that different when they were riding Wimborne Road every week or back further when Super Simmo,Ron Preston were flying round the track.

Mike0310 you are a very honest chap and always like your Frank opinions about your team do you think there will be changes and if so who would you replace,read a comment Plymouth being where it is makes it a long trek for riders and maybe that is a problem.No fun for either set of fans tonight winning by that margin is hopeless only winners were Poole riders bank accounts

Was out tonight so couldn't watch the stream and well done to Scunthorpe for pushing the pirates all the way not such a cakewalk some thought it would be but if Tom Brennan allegedly didn't answer his phone maybe he didn't want to drive to Poole and earn a few quid ?

Redcar were excellent makes the second leg interesting.BSN coverage while the pictures are good it lacks any sound of an atmosphere in the stadium,bikes roaring etc as though the microphones are only switched on for the commentators I may be being fussy but spoils it for me,any thoughts or should we be grateful we can watch live speedway ?

Nothing negative at all last season we carried a 2 pt rider because the other six were good enough lucky may be but we were but you can't carry two reserves who don't win races,reserves are trump cards in many meetings but if they can't beat other teams reserves then your not going to win many meetings

Hi Skidder 1 As you are quite knowledgeable on Poole speedway matters if the council own the stadium why don't they take back ownership and rerun greyhounds as I believe they stopped running due to covid and now it's sort of over with speeedway guaranteed with the Ford's then all issues may be solved or is the San Miguel getting to me.

Can't fault the Ford's always build a winning team but the track must have enough shale as to allow good racing,passing and exciting heats trap and go is no good to fans will only fuel the Poole haters on here.

Well a win is a win but wouldn't want to watch that every week and paid £11-99 for the privilege.Plymouth were poor and if the starts were doctored packed with loads of dirt then they all should have been whizzing away.Know nothing about track prep etc but there was no passing it was gate and go but even with my Poole hat on that's no good at least the track is hole and bump free.Early days yet but we do look strong can't see our reserves losing many races at home

May be wrong but reserves should be the deciding factor here,Oxford have excellent heat leaders so should they will score well against all teams but Poole had a 2pt reserve last season and he never won a race and Oxford have 2 this season but they may be riding rockets so could be a surprise package but strength in depth this year unlike last year could be key still so long as the racing is close and exciting everyone will be happy

Back to the prem you know they want us ? well I'm sure this league well the fans may not want us as we keep winning but harder this year as some good teams been built but should we win or even come second/third the prem maybe the place to be with some returning stars pedersen,sayfutinov,bewley etc won't earn what they do in Poland but maybe it's the place to be,a call to Magic and a couple of returning Aussies Holder,Kurtz and we can mix of with the big boys

Yes along with his availability to guest on a lower average,seen him shut the throttle off near the finish line when he's leading his team mate home coming second still I believe gets paid a win very clever.
