1st leg should have been held tonight, Poole's traditional race night, the night they "had" to race, the race night they relegated themselves for... just because nobody wants to watch them and watch the footy instead should not be a reason to not stage this leg tonight

What a stupid comment, especially from somebody that has lost their club this year smh

Is this the first round of the 2023 competition? Good thinking BSPL, getting ahead of themselves to save fixture congestion for next year!

Fickle lot those Pirate fans!

Remind me why this isn't being run on Wednesday please

Oh great... pages of talk about the weather, just what everybody wanted

Why do we need a thread linking to another thread?

I'm wondering where I go to for my refund as I attended the Peterborough leg on the understanding that this was leg 1 of 6. Why would any Speedway fan buy into ANY competition that is staged if they're not going to fulfil it?

Wrong section, I think you need the Fantasy Speedway League section

That's a shame, Sarj was a real prospect when he came onto the scene with Coventry. When Cov closed he seemed to lose his way a bit, I don't think Havvy helped him much as, publicly at least, he defended his jumping at the start as acceptable and often blamed the ref for stopping races after the start. Sarj became a bit of a laughing stock throughout the sport for this... if that had been coached out of his game a bit sooner, who knows?

He's got an excuse... he's Scottish

Maybe they should have called this meeting: "Farewell to Armadale?" Hope it's a good one either way!

I know, pretty good eh... perhaps i should take over northern team management duties from Havvy? I can speak English and everything!

Maybe make this into a knockout round robin... first leg at Glasgow, they can throw it get knocked out, the 2nd leg at Leicester, vs Poole, we get knocked out and then Poole can ride their home leg against nobody gloriously winning the trophy in front of a packed Wimborne Road, waving their phones about to Sweet Caroline being played over the PA

There are rumours... but it is silly season

Just wait until next season!

From PL lite... to NDL+ Oh how the mighty have fallen I'm thinking maybe: 1 Ed Kennett 2 Max Clegg 3 Kyle Newman 4 James Shanes 5 Drew Kemp 6 Nathan Ablitt 7 Joe Thompson

I'd like to see the Cook brothers at Leicester, they'd be wasting their time, treading water down in the CL... maybe offer them a contact before the CL pay offs this coming Friday? Some exchange deal with Joe Thompson & Max Clegg maybe?

Oh yeah... forgot, you guys are still down in the CL

A Poole 2023 thread... sounds like you've already given up on 2022!

Personally I think the atmosphere did come across on the TV, Speedway under lights on a super fast track in a cup final and you could hear the cheers from the crowd when there were incidents and passes, how often can you say that with Speedway? I do have a 5.1 Dolby Atmos home cinema setup though... it doesn't always need Sweet Caroline being played for there to be an atmosphere

51/49? Not quite divisive enough... How about 52/48?

A good journo NEVER reveals their sources

I believe it was perfected by the Danes, Hans Andersen was particularly good at the move and to a lesser extent Nicki P... although he never quite nailed it, preferring to nail the rider instead.
