I still don't understand why the EL individual events are not staged at a neutral venue. Bjarne Pedersn/Kasper Jack can't win tomorrow (figuratively speaking) as if he does win the event it will be said it is only be because he was at Poole and if he doesn't then he will get slated for not winning on his home circuit. The same with Swindon and the pairs meetings.

We already have a topic for this which has been started in the Individual Meetings and Testimonials column, which also has the full line up. :wink:

Why do you say Bjarne Pedersen can't win it elsewhere. He is doing great this year and is more than capable number one. yes he is probably favourite tomorrow with home advantage but it has to be somewhere. the BSPA share the profits, and Poole is likely to give them the biggest return per club.

No Steve you misunderstand me, of course Bjarne could win it anywhere, my point is that if he wins it tomorrow people will state it is only because it is on his home track.

 

If it was held at a neutral track and he wins it or whoever wins it it will be a more 'clean' win (no nothing to do with Leigh Adams strange nickname either :) ). I was making the point that he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't like Swindon and their pair at the pairs meeting.

Steve, Pete doesn't say Bjarne could not win the ELRC elsewhere, he says that if he does win tomorrow everybody will say it is only because it was held at Poole. If he doesn't win he then gets slated for failing to win on his home track. Never mentions that he wouldn't have a chance at any other track.

With 9 of the 16 riders being current or ex-Poole there is no real home advantage. My money is on Crump and Adams being up there - Nicki P also. But then Andersen also rides Poole well and so does PK and Scotty. And of course Bjarne and KK are no slouches. Very tough to call to be honest. Could be a very open meeting - just hope the weather behaves and the riders take it a bit seriously - if the meeting yesterday was anything to go by, the current state of the Poole track makes it raceable for anyone wanting to give it a go.

Looks a very competitive line up, though it sticks in the throat of those of us who remember when it was held at Hyde Road, the decision to hold the event at this time of the season has resulted in a much better turn out than recent years.

With a good weather forecast should be a good meeting, PK looks a value bet at 25/1.

I have to agree with Rabbit here. Crump is a worthy favorite

given his recent form, but take him away and its a very open

meeting. There must be a decent bit of e/w value there, given

Crump is so short!.

Poole should be grateful that the incident between the Pedersens yesterday may brighten up an otherwise dull meeting. Wouldnt surprise me if Mr Ford said to Nikki Look the ELRC is going to be boring for the paying public due to the lack of passing at Wimborne Road can you spice things up a bit. Dont bother going tomorrow people save yer dosh for better things and watch it on the box I bet you a grand Shovlar there wont be more than 10 passes in the whole meeting.
