Poole V Coventry Ela. 20/04/16


Recommended Posts

Easy Poole win esp when we can only use RR for Woryna meaning mainly reserves. King is shocking at the moment & reserves poor at poole.

 

Might help towards making room for a higher average rider in May as will have more points available after this.

 

Predict 58-32

fans picking meetings, thats the sad state speedway has got too....back in the day id go every week without fail , whoever the opponents where , cradley always had exciting riders ,

 

yes its more expensive , whose fault is that?

 

fans only going when the opponents look likely to give a good showing and running it close....isnt that what the points limit was implemented for , to stop matches being walkovers and the inevitability of some fans becoming bored?

We beat Lakeside by a decent score a couple of weeks ago, but the racing was excellent. The scoreline often doesnt reflect the quality of racing.

I will enjoy the comments made when the meeting is over. Stay safe all riders. Poole to win is my opinion.

On the subject of fans picking and choosing their meetings, one has to remember that "in Poole there is nothing else to spend money on" so crowds will never drop when the product continues to be good and successful and will only ever increase even more in the holidays!! :-)

 

To misquote the 'Field of Dreams' film line - "If you build it , they will come"!!

 

As far as this meeting is concerned, KK will want to do well, Its one of Bomber's favourite tracks and the Bees will only need 3 r/r rides as the other will be a T/R. Add to that a change in Poole's riding order (Hans/Buzz) making for some different pairings!!

 

52-40 rather than the 56-34 ES thrashing!!

Well reasoned post, Skidder, but personally I can see another 20+ points difference here. Could depend on the relative performances of the No. 1's, rather than the Reserves this time. (Like the FoD misquote, by the way.)

 

Mentioning what there is to spend your money on in Poole, I noticed that Poole Town had a crowd of over 1,000 yesterday for their home match v Dunstable. Good reasons for that of course, but it is interesting to see how their home crowds at Tatnam do fluctuate depending on the opposition, ranging from 129 for a cup match, that they lost, to yesterday's high. Maybe it's the speedway fans who also go the football picking and choosing which Poole Town matches to watch? If so, it's a nice situation for Matt Ford to have. (All the rest of the Poole residents would be spending money on their expensive yachts of course.)

A tactical r/r ride?? Would still have to be Garrity,Bates or Sergeant?? Can't be KK, Harris or King as they can't have a r/r ride as they are not eligible...unless you know a rule change that the rest of us don't??

I expect someone told Skidder as that's the usual line that comes out from him😀😀

I thought you were supporting BV now?! ;):)

Errr another farce in the speedway world! My only hope is that they get their act together and knock your lot off their perch. I doubt it tho'. If speedway becomes competitive again I will return to what was once a wonderful and FAIR sport. I ain't holding my breath.

99.9% that you will get your wish. Enjoy the 'blue line' racing = borefest. Sorry wozo1 -- this was a reply to lisa collette not you!

Good-ho. I like beating Coventry, not bothered by how many as long as it happens :D

When was it fair?

 

Edit - I'd almost be okay with Coventry having the losers point as I feel bad for some of their fans for having to put up with the rubbish team building by the management
