Dickie Head Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but for this meeting I checked and it was confirmed cash only admission on the day at the turnstiles which open at 16.00. Exact FIM pricing on the Poole website. I have been told that Poole Season Pass holders have been able to reserve their usual main stand seat in advance but still have to pay cash on the day. So if your preference is for a seat, get down to Poole early and start/join the queue. The speedway office also told me that the Stadium car park doubles as a shoppers car park on a Saturday so spaces will be at a premium - I don't envy the car park attendants trying to control outgoing shoppers and incoming speedway folk on Wimborne Road. Blessed are the Peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) in the form of Dorset Constabulary whose new building is in exactly the right place at the car park entrance! Otherwise I think it will be a public car park in the town centre or at the train station. Oh and remember riders parade at 18.15 and first race 18.30. Let us hope for fine weather, good organisation and great racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013   What time are tickets on sale from and are they outside the stadium or straight getting into the stadium  You pay on entry no advance ticket sales. A real pain for me as I don't shut shop until 5.30 ands am 25 mins away. Hope its not a massive crowd as I could be locked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott0311 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Has to be said that the weather forecasts for Saturday look a bit iffy at this moment in time  Can anyone confirm, should the worst happen, whether the re-staging is on Sunday?  Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 They are now giving rain for Saturday although they are being far from precise at the timing. Fingers crossed. Don't want a very wet track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Iversen will certainly make it also with Zagar with the other spot between Janowski,Batchelor and Pawlicki a great meeting in prospect. of course both nki and zagar are likely to finish top 8 anyway, so still three other spots up for grabs. i think kk has to be a favourite, i can see him being joined by one of the danes (Hans?) and janowski . Ideally though id like to see mjj, pawlicki/janowski and batch through, though would be happy enough with kk or lebedev . Of course would like zagar to win it to guarantee his spot for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 With things still tight for top 8 finish and wildcat at a premium for next year, i think he would be foolish not to take the opportunity to seal his spot here and now - one crash in or preceding the remaining gps could end his top 8 hopes, and given the injury problems that have blighted this years series, that's not out of the question.

crazysue Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message including your mobile number. Â Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â There is no ticket to buy. You pay cash on entry and get a ticket for a rain off but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Anyone heard anything about any changes, Lewis Bridger is now a reserve so was wondering who had dropped out? Unless Zagar has decided to withdraw like he said he might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Im guessing Janowski may not ride as his knee is so badly damaged that Poole knew on Monday to book Skornicki for the Lakeside match. Â What i want to see is janowski get a 15 point max in the challenge and then see what the blue tints say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
