Star Fever Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well done to Poole on a deserved win and good to see the League winners winning the play-offs too. I've nothing against Coventry but they didn't deserve to be 'league champions' as the stupid p-offs dictate. The league covers the whole season and Poole earnt that title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Turner Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Pmsl Havvy is classic when interviewed especially the team of racers comments Haha! That's why we won, not because we outclassed them, but because our team of non-racers are excellent on wet tracks. Especially our Pole's that are normally next to useless on slick tracks.

BROCK Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Oh dear, just when I was beginning to thinks Poole and it's fans aren't so bad after all I have to read this! Magnanimous in victory-I don't think so. Shame. . Come on people out there. the comments I made were supposed to be taken lightheartedly, but for some reason my computer would not let me use the smileys . Of course it was a cracking meeting with great racing, it is what speedway is all about, Of course I wanted Poole to win and I did say commiserations to Cov and their supporters, but I am glad of course they didn't win. I just get fed up with a certain few on here who through out the whole season have done nothing but slag off anything to do with Poole, and the management, and most ot the time not knowing the facts. I will sign off on a positive note by saying well done the PIRATES and lets try and make it three in a row Edited October 21, 2014 by BROCK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandy7162 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 A big well done to Poole Pirates. Very well deserved. Poole ride so so well when there backs are against the wall. As a Poole fan it was fantastic to have Darcy with the boys in the pits through the semis and finals. As always Poole fans and Management pull together and deliver the goods. I know you Poole bashers will jump on this post but it was a fantastic meeting and both teams put on a great show. Would like to say that the jump starts should have been dealt with both at Coventry and Poole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Fid Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Commiserations to Coventry. Top job by the boys on the night. We've had everything thrown at us this year and come through it all to win another one. Doesn't get any better than that, especially the burn outs in the stand!

Gavan Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well done to Poole on a deserved win and good to see the League winners winning the play-offs too. I've nothing against Coventry but they didn't deserve to be 'league champions' as the stupid p-offs dictate. The league covers the whole season and Poole earnt that title. Exactly what i agree with. top of the league are league winners not the mickey mouse competition at the end. Poole were worhty league winners same as in my opinion Birmingham were in 2013 With no association with either team, I thought that was a terrific meeting last night, a reminder of how good speedway can be. Poole have been a 6 man team practically this season but Newman's return to form in the second half of the season meant that they were able to cope. I thought Howarth was terrific in the play off final and I hope his display gets him an opportunity to race abroad next season, which is so vital to the development of young British riders. I've also been impressed with Sarjeant when I've seen him lately. Makes you wonder why he can't get a PL berth. not realy if your number six is banging in double figures every meeting. even if the number 7 only gets 1 its hardly a handicap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Red Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Congratulations to Poole, worthy winners over the two legs Bees badly let down by Andersen, not the stand-out no.1 we needed Good to see Bees immediately congratulate Pirates when the outcome was settled, despite the latest piece of crap emanating from Muddlo - does he have a brain he could engage before his mouth? Look forward to seeing how far Magic can go in the sport, he looks a World Champion in the making Newman outstanding, too - well done Pleased with Bees' efforts in the main, Howarth in particular Now to retain our stadium! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 What a cracking meeting we had riders jumping the starts, riders turning left on riders, riders try to fence riders, A rider being told his services were not required so a replacement could be brought in, and still Poole win. We[[ done all the Pirate, and commiserations to Coventry and their supporters. Also commiserations to all the Poole haters as you are probably having a bad time at the moment trying to think of nasty thing to say jeez and you wonder why some Poole fans get a bad name. what a daft post. accept you won fair and square but no you take the mick. jumping starts - yes turning left - no only your clown of a team boos thinks that fencing - saw no dangerous riding last night. just hard but fair from both sides.

Jumping starts - Yes Turning left - Yes (be pretty hard to race a speedway bike if you couldn't turn left). I don't think Hans was unfair, I think Middlo was just caught up in the passion of the night. At least he didn't make muppet comments about a team of racers on a slick track. Fencing - Yes. There is nothing fair about crashing your way into a position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedwaysliders Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Ref's decision to award Heat 3 was correct in accordance with rules 15.5.2 and 15.5.3 as race leader Janowski had completed two laps prior to the race being stopped and Harris being disqualified for unfair riding. What!!! This decision is one of the worst ive ever seen. Firstly to award the race was a farse,the ref had clearly been told to move the meeting on at all costs,because of the weather,heat 2 was also a jump start but he let it go. 2- Frickle had just been passed by the Poole boys when harris wiped him out,whos to say Max could not have repassed the poole boys,you just cant say that when he was passed 5 seconds earlier. 3-someones telling porkies,when Havy was intereviewed he said the ref said Harris!!!! had no chance of catching the poole boys!!! Harris was excluded wasnt he?!! do we know 100% he was exluded . 4 If you are going to have 2 lap races 2 or 3 times during the meeting,how can you expect the fans to come back ? Talk about being short changed,i dont know what the ref is doing awarding races at any cost when people pay good money to watch 4 lao racing.At least the flag man on the track thought the same as me and tried to give value with an extra lap in one heat!!!! 5 who was the ref last night?.It should be standard to say who the ref is before heat 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostonian Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hard to read through some of this thread in case I catch the 'negative' bug, god some people are hard to please! I really enjoyed last night. I thought the sky coverage was excellent, the racing was exciting with plenty of drama, both teams weren't prepared to give an inch and it made for a great ending to what has been a poor season for british speedway. I’m a massive fan of the play offs, it’s the exciting part of the season, it’s what gets stadiums full and like last night, it produces some great action and excitement! It’s certainly wets my appetite for next season already! Janowski, Newman & Pawlicki were exception for the Pirates and whatever you think of Poole, Matt Ford & Middlo, they know how to win titles and they know how to build teams year after year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 5 who was the ref last night?.It should be standard to say who the ref is before heat 1. Mick Bates I think. I agree it should be part of the initial presentation to say who is the referee then I wouldn't have to ask my friend with a programme who it is at every meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main team sponsors next year again? I think not as we wish to step back up to where we were in the SGP and rider sponsorship but will be more involved with Poole for 2015 than 14/13 once we sit down with the main man, but never say never as one just does not know whats round the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
