Coventry V Poole El Friday 22nd April 2016

[Bees_Man]

One or two good signings early May could just turn our season around. Can't pretend everything now rosy after one meeting!

[deanr1]

More like hiding from Matt Ford.

Can I ask why we were ushered off the balcony above the pits?

And why was only one half of the gate open coming into the car park making it more difficult to get in? And even more bizarrely why was the exit gate shut at the end causing traffic chaos?

Completely agree. Get on the phone to Zengota, Neil Watson

[heathen chemistry]

duno bout zengi his average is high for what he is,

 

sundstrom, laguta,pawlicki, ?

[Steve Shovlar]

Gutted we are missing Kurtz. He was excellent on Wednesday and to have to cover him with Buck and the reserves weakens us somewhat. Going to be a close meeting.

Still think this us going to be very close, with the loss of Brady swinging the pedulum back towards Coventry.

Smack on the money.

 

Really dont inderstand the pessimism from some of the Coventry fans. Lakeside saw us off so why can't Coventry?

Rather than get out the white hanky you should be cheering on your side.

Did Swindon fans think they could beat one of the favourites last night? They did it convincingly. Same could happen tonight, though I hope not. .

Smack on the money.

 

 

Sorry you are simply getting in excuses, everyone can tell Poole are stronger tonight apart from funnily enough you.

No excuses. I am bang on the money. You called me a fool and a troll. Yet i was spot on. I await your apology, though you seem the type of person who wont let your ego do that. Your posturing on here has come up and bitten you right on the arse. Of course i

I know nothing about speedway and Poole.

 

Poole have annihilated Coventry 3 times this year.

There isn't anyone , bar you, that thinks Coventry have a chance.

Well it looks like I was the only one then, doesnt it.

Lol at Mr Shovlar and his lack of knowledge. How did Freddie do replacing Holder and how did the r/r do in heat 1?????? Obvious to all that Poole are stronger tonight so either you lacked the intelligence or you trolled

 

I await your apology though doubt you have the guts to say you were completely WRONG.

Doubt it he will make up some feeble excuse that he was right all along, even though I was spot on.

Why do you think? Did you not see the quote? He's accused him of being a troll or lacking intelligence when he's going to be pretty spot on with his prediction

 

Thank you.

erm why do I need to apologise? I said Poole were stronger with Lindgren and r/r which they were so what did I say that was wrong? What a great result nothing better than seeing Poole lose especially to an average side. Maybe the elite league won't be so boring after all!!! Good to see Garrity get heat 15erm why do I need to apologise? I said Poole were stronger with Lindgren and r/r which they were so what did I say that was wrong?

And the excuses start.

 

Poole were stronger and lost simple really. I would have apologised if I said Poole would win and check the thread I didn't!

 

Trying to change the subject. You were wrong. I was right. I await your apology. Come on we are all waiting for it.

Err how about calling him a troll or lacking in intelligence for predicting a close result?

 

Gavan, come on apologise.

very very quiet on this thread right now not sure where they all gone? Morrisseyfan and Shovlar were there but no reports from either very strange. And Starman has also gone silent

 

your laughable mate.

 

Read what I put then comment.

 

Never called him a troll or lack of intelligence for the result but for saying Poole were weaker.

 

If you want to have a pop at me my old fruit try getting your facts straight please ta very much

Never called me a troll or lack g intelligence? Read further up this post. Await an apology.

 

And I have just driven 2.30 minutes home. How do you expect me to make a report? Steering wheel in one hand phone in the other?

 

I await your apology.

 

 

Right onto the meeting.

 

Poole started well in the first few heats when there was some grip in the track, but the predicable 8-1 undid all the good work Poole had done to build up a lead. Throwing away safe points also cost us the win. A nailed on 5-1 ended in a 4-2 when Lindgren had an ef off the last bend. Would have been enough to have seen us over the line. Andersen hitting some grip on the third bend of lap three hurtling him to the fence and allowing Garrity through, Buckowski hitting a rut which threw him off the back when in a points scoring position. No excuses as these things do happen, but after the 8-1 the track was very slick, Coventry riders gated, went high and wide and Poole riders couldn't get close.

 

Heat 15 was the best race with guest Lindgren having a go but he decided to go out wide off te last bend and Harris had already decided to go low. If Lidgren had hogged the line Harris would have been blocked. Those the breaks.

 

But the reason we lost isn't Lindgren, who was an adequate guest for Holder, or Kurtz, whose rides only mustered 6 points (he scored paid 10 in the ES), or Buckowski falling.

 

Davey Watt is riding without fight or passion. He doesnt seem to have the bottle going into the first bend, is off the pace, and pulls up before the heat is finished. Our captain should be fighting every battle and leading from the front, but personal issues have got competely in the way and he is letting not only himself but the whole club and its fans.

 

Poole never win big away from home. It was obvious it was going to be close, even if I was the only one to see it.

 

Coventry riders battled and won. Yes the tr gave them the three extra points to win but those are the rules. Well done to them.

 

We certainly missed Kurtz tonight. Holder was covered but when you have a gaping hole inthe middle of the team with Watt being awol and r/r, it puts too much pressure on the others.

[tricky dicky]

He shouldn't have been in heat 14, I blame Middlo!!!

Watt looked pretty good in his previous ride almost catching kasprzak !! You would have put in newman who had just been beaten by sergeant ?

[Gemini]

Thanks for the reply. Oh dear

 

Why are you taking notice of that stupid reply? Of course there was more than 400 there. Admittedly not as many as there should be for a match against Poole, but the expectation of a thrashing plus really cold weather probably put some off.

[Gavan]

Right Mr Shovlar you are getting no sort of apology at all because you are obviously lacking the intellect to actually read what I wrote so let me spell it out for you on plain English. Did I call you a troll and not intelligent over your predicted scoreline???? NO. I called you unintelligent and a troll because you quite clearly stated that Poole were weaker with Lindgren and R/R. You quite obviously lack the ability to actually read what I wrote otherwise we would not be having this debate. You give an apology when you are in the wrong. Now I called you a troll over the Poole replacements. What I suggest you do is read your own match report where you clearly state that Lindgren and the use of R/R did not weaken you. So basically I WAS RIGHT so it seems you owe me an apology doesn't it my old fruit!!! But please if you can find the post where I called you unintelligent over the SCORE and not the REPLACEMENTS then you would quite rightly deserve an apology. I will await your response

[speedwaysliders]

According to Middlo Freddie had a punture in heat 15!!

[Pirate Nick]

To be fair Shovvy, Freddie had a puncture in ht 15. We were just unlucky on the night with his ef and puncture. That said though Watty really needs to get his act together.

[SCB]

100% wrong Shaun, you're the one who's misinformed.

So what rule allowed them to have a facility then?

 

This is why the sport is a joke. Nobody explains to the fans how things happen. Was it a case of "it's Poole so they can do what they like"? Or is that actually a rule that allows it?

All we ask is a little clarity.

Harris also had problems with his bike in heat 15 so bad luck for both. Hans is making lots of excuses as to why they dropped the lead, saying they had lots of bad luck. Where?

 

*They were granted a facility for Holder when they shouldn't have been as this fixture was in place first. They then use a inform guest for one who's struggled esp at Brandon- Lucky

 

Freddie's "engine failure" was because he didn't put in enough fuel. That's not bad luck, that's rider error

 

*Bates excluded after having his wheel taken in heat 4, first bend - unlucky for bees, lucky for Poole

 

*Their duo jumped the start by a lot in heat 1 and most people thought it would be called back (including bees riders) but it's wasn't. - lucky

 

*Bates had bike problems most of the night meaning he broke down or broke tapes, not getting it sorted till heat 14 - unlucky for bees not Poole.

 

*Both Lindgren & Harris had problems in heat 15

 

I think instead of making excuses Middlo & Hans need to take a long look at what went wrong. We rode terrible in the first half and looked like we were heading for a huge defeat. Poole let a huge lead go and looked terrible in the second half against a team that aren't the strongest in the league and had to use reserves in most races, scoring 4 from RR rides. Add to that our number one had a off night. On paper Poole look to have no weaknesses but away from home On track it's a different story.

Nothing would have put me off attending this meeting normally but Lanzarote weren't running a coach! Otherwise there may have been 402. (Smiley face )

[mdmc82]

Good to see Garrity get another good score of 9points and his 3rd heat 15 already this season.

He was very up and down last night. Looked very underpower & struggledin the race with reserves that you would expect him to win but then looked fast in harder ones and beat the same reserves plus Andersen and Buzz. He needs to get those bikes sorted though as has problems with them most meetings and has to borrow one.

And in that one post you have completely exposed yourself for what you are.

 

Nothing more needs to be said. We all see you as what you really are. Anyone with a modicum of common courtesy would have put their hands up and apologised for being wrong.

[LisaColette]

Yes, Sarjaent always wins heat 12 apparently and Newman had scored 8 more points than Watt!

I've just spent hour of my life reading the regs and it's clear as mud. Poole shouldn't of had a facility (R/R) for Holder. Something sinks here Edited April 23, 2016 by Danny Smith

I thought the RR was for Kurtz ?
