BWitcher Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 It says on Twitter that Holder crashed in to the ambulance when returning to the pits after heat 15. If true, was he ok? I mentioned this earlier. In both heats 10 and 13 Lindgren was very aggressive (fairly) on Holder. Holder had a run on the back straight into turn 3 on both occasions and Lindgren got out wide to ensure his run was blocked. On both occasions this forced Holder to the back. After Heat 13, Holder blocked Lindgren as he went to turn off the track back to the pits, then proceeded to have words as they rode back towards the pits. In Heat 15 they were once again involved in a great scrap with Lindgren again emerging on top, upon exiting the track Holder accelerated up the ramp over the greyhound track and up the path leading back round to the pits, clearly annoyed at the result. He went too quick, tried to avoid by pulling a broadside and collided with the ambulance. Pretty sure he wasn't injured, but if he was it would be entirely self-inflicted, the ambulance is stationery in its normal position, nowhere near the track. Holder was simply riding out of control off track.. wasn't Lambert fined for something similar earlier in the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 The meeting as a whole was very enjoyable, some excellent racincouldg and loads of passing on a good, well prepared track. They were worried about the which was probly weather so it went straight through without a interval so got to go home early. As it was it hardly rained at all, i think we had a very light shower but they had obviously had a bit of rain earlier. For the pirates the stand out rider,not surprisingly was Janowski, Watt rode well too as did Gomolski and the reserves, Starke looked very good early on. For Wolves Wells was outstanding, Lindgren and P.K clearly not at their best but battled hard in the vital races, Thorsell rode pretty well too, reserves were a bit off until Roynon got a surprising heat 12 win which was vital to Wolves. All in all a good night out except the result which was in doubt right until the last lap of heat 15 when Holder got alongside Lindgren but couldn't quite manage the pass, this was after Janowski had just managed to get past Wells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well done Wolves on a great win 👍 We won't . Oops Shame the Poole website can't get the riders scores correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Lee Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 As expected, Wolves take the win. Brilliant!! Nice one Wolves! Errmmm not really. Poole got 46 points - that's a win in a 15 heat match. Only thing is, Wolves were given 3 extra points for nothing. Not a dig at Wolves, just a comment on the ludicrous jeux sans frontieres golden double rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole have also made good use of pulling points back using the TR this season,gaining an advantage each time: home to Coventry (5-2) away to Wolves (2-7) Swindon (3-6) King's Lynn (2-7) However they still went on to lose each of those fixtures. Wolves battled hard after the tactical ride and that's why they deservingly won. Edited July 21, 2015 by mdmc82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 There cannot be much more annoying than scoring 46 'genuine' points away from home and still losing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole Quay 7 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well done to Wolves on the win. Plenty for Matt to think about but he won't take another throwaway performance like that again from the riders and team manager. However, only a fool would write us off at this stage but please feel free if you want to 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the rules are the same for everyone. No, they didn't deserve to win, the opposition got 46 points and in a sane world there should be only 90 points available for 15 heats. By the way, removing my impartial hat, I'm glad Poole lost............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Even with Holder and North scoring 6 between them we still could have won, after the tac ride we should not have allowed them to get back in to a winning position but once Roynon had won heat 12 the writing was on the wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well done to the Wolves. Poole leading the way again in showing the rest of the EL how to defeat from the jaws of victory!!! Anyway, Wednesday is another day - still in 2nd place. I wonder who will get the short straw of getting Poole in the semis? August averages after last night (subject to BSPA approval) MJ 8.80; CH 7.78; DW 6.41; DN 5.86; KG 4.97. Total 33.82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackie Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Sorry, but I am the only person not wanting to be standing in the SKY office as some over payed flunkie tries to explain why D-Head darts took precedence over what would/should have been a classic EL speedway meeting. Or did the Poole biased team at SKY purposely shy away lest we see an on-screen melt-down from a grief stricken presenter as the 'chosen' are humbled. Sky are many things, but clairvoyant isn't one of them. To be fair on recent form, the meeting didn't look like it was going to be a close or exciting one. I mentioned this earlier. In both heats 10 and 13 Lindgren was very aggressive (fairly) on Holder. Holder had a run on the back straight into turn 3 on both occasions and Lindgren got out wide to ensure his run was blocked. On both occasions this forced Holder to the back.

I think being shown up by Lindgren 3 times in 1 meeting is punishment enough really 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that North has dropped over a point from July averages says it all, got rid of the wrong Australian, should have kept Josh G.

Not a dig at Wolves, just a comment on the ludicrous jeux sans frontieres golden double rule. Of course if the old TAC sub rules were in place wolves would probably have won by six points, by gaining an 8 pt swing in the preceding race rather than a 3 pt gain via the golden double 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Sadly this meeting was consigned to the meaningless bin by the fantastic pokc. One team already qualified against another with no chance to qualify, simply nothing to race for other than as if it was a challenge. Not much point going on about how important top spot is either, last season Kings Lynn were going for top for the first time in their history and nobody bothered to go to their last away meeting, 5 turned up last night for the crucial pokc qualifier. Clearly sky also realised the darts was a much better proposition. Now on the other hand if top actually meant something not only would this have been on TV but there would have been hundreds of Poole fans there as well. The pokc sycophants will point to the fact that the meeting at Belle Vue proves that it's what the fans want, I reckon the two meetings last night was another net loss for speedway. The benefits of the pokc and the double points tr bollox in one night, back of the net! There were a few fans of Poole there last night and while we would have won without the tac ride it has worked for us in the past and i think it is a good thing to keep meetings closer and i believe it does matter who tops the table as it means you get first pick and also, maybe more importantly it gives you home advantage in the second leg which also means, if you make the final and win, you celebrate at home which in my view is always preferable. The meeting at Monmore Green was a winner for speedway as it was two teams battling for every point and loads of good racing with lots of passing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 HadrienDog- Nobody will be in the firing line for not broadcasting this match as the reason there is no matches this week is due to the darts. The same production team do Speedway and Darts at Sky so hence can't be in two places at once 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
