Penny Cross Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Would prefer Poole to win on aggregate. However, I can only see a Stars win overall by around 10pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Heard bet 365 won't be showing any matches this year as Promotors complained they was loosing to many fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Speedball Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Heard bet 365 won't be showing any matches this year as Promotors complained they was loosing to many fansProbably says more about the promoters and the state of the sport. If people would rather watch a tiny screen with no commentary or on screen graphics than turn up at their local track, I'd say they should be looking closer to home rather than blame Bet365.

mdmc82 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I hope Kyle Newman is okay after his fall tonight. Big race win for Porsing Beating Holder & Magic on their own track. What's wrong with Bjerre so far though Good debut from Starke so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with Bjerre so far though Good debut from Starke so far Can't take anything from these meetings. It's the 1st team event for both teams, it's not about the winning. It's a perfect chance to iron out issues be it equipment or riding order's etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 This Meeting is very unpredictable with a rider coming last in one race and then last in the next. Agree a lot of it may be riders testing things and getting rid of first meetings gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a perfect chance to iron out issues be it equipment or riding order's etc Exactly, lots of heats where the finishing order isn't what you'd expect. Would have been nice to win but at the end of the day it doesn't matter a fig really, the first important meeting is next Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to do with people watching speedway free, and letting others keep the stadium open for them. There is always free loaders. Years ago Lakeside held a meeting with free admission and about 4k turned up. Week later, and normal prices, and they stayed away. I wonder why.

SteveLyric2 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Well I confess to being a little surprised but nevertheless delighted with tonight's result, especially after losing Kyle Newman (mild concussion - but looked fine afterwards) in heat 2 when his chain broke whilst attempting a 'big one around the outside of turn 4'!! All the Pirates contributed well - each with at least one heat win - but exceptional performances by North and Starke and of course the skipper. Disappointed with the Stars to be honest - not one rider in double figures including a T/R - but they are just as likely to reverse all that with Poole on Thursday night. PS. For all the afficianados, Nothing wrong with the track, that a bit more shale wouldn't have improved - but no holes, no ruts to speak of, and not even Poole's infamous 'blue groove' appearing. It was bl***y cold though! Edited March 25, 2015 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bl***y cold though! Just one other thing to note from the meeting...................... I Thought the new rule was "no rider is to get off of their bike to do any gardening" ??????? So why was Rory Schlein allowed to do just that before heat 14???? And what is the punishment if/when they do??Should Schlein have been excluded??? Edited to say, just checked the thread about gardening at the start and Schlien should have been excluded!!! Be interesting if Kings Lynn win by 2 points on aggregate!!!!!!
