LisaColette Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Still the stats say Poole are currently the best team,and the bookies favourites no denying that.They are misleading unless you compare fairly, ie. 6h +6a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Don't know how peeps can say the aces are weak at home when they have only lost one home match, to the Swindon Roobins, Christ knows how they won that!

mdmc82 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 The prediction had you worried though Not really as we are racing for fun now not play offs so no real pressure. I expected Swindon to get a narrow win. Was actually surprised how bad they were. Worst visiting team this season that's for sure. Wolves were one of the best on their first visit Don't know how peeps can say the aces are weak at home when they have only lost one home match, to the Swindon Roobins, Christ knows how they won that! That was the first home meeting at the track so was early days before track was sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 You know and i know that the league is just one long qualifying round these days. Poole teams are always built for the knock out rounds of the play offs.You have two number 1 class heat leaders good strong middle order and most of all 2 very good reserves (who won you the title last year) no weak links.All the other play off contenders have one number 1 class rider and 1 weak reserve so over a 2 leg knockout cup Poole are odds on favourites to win.Man for man on paper you are better than any team you will meet and that is why Poole are favourites again this year and you know it.I just hope that this year your speal is right and over the play offs we can raise our game and kick your asses. This is the EL not the polish Extraleague, Belle Vue have 3 good heat leaders in Matty, Cookie and Scotty, in Max we have probably the most improved 2nd string in the league, Stevie is holding his own as our 2nd second string rider whilst Richie is scoring big down at reserve, Joe is doing his job at away tracks and more than his job at home. We are not top because we are lucky. Having said all that the P/Off's will be a different kettle of fish, one that I am eagerly awaiting for.

stevebrum Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Of course Belle Vue are Favourites! They are on great form, almost unbeatable and miles clear at the top of the league! What part of "best team this year" don't you understand? They are clear favourites. Anyone with an ounce of knowledge about the sport knows this. Its not even up for debate. All other teams are floundering while Belle Vue keep on winning. They could easily go the rest of this season without losing again. Didn't you say wolves were clear favourites a couple of months ago?? Could be that Poole are the most in form next month but you probably won't say they are favourites 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A No they are joint favourites with Poole ...so not clear favourites ...it's amazing every year you never quite understand that the bookies decide who the Favourites are . Even for you Steve it's get's quite boring trying to make out Poole are massive underdogs each year before they win another league title and you claim a massive shock win . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Poole have bigger home advantage, better reserves and more experience of winning Play Off finals than Belle Vue so it's theirs to lose. Think most neutrals will be behind the Aces though. Wolves have a good chance if Woffy returns although their reserves are poor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Really dont see how Poole are favourites for the title. Belle Vue have been the inform team this season and are pulling away at the top of the table taking away wins everywhere, and the bookies have bv joint favs with Poole atm. Its only going on past years that Poole are joint favs, imo from May-ish onwards they havent been too impressive. Id put my money on Bv as it stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Everyone can see Poole are still the overwhelming favourites due, in the main and deservingly so, to the significant advantage they gleaned from the rules regarding reserve picks at the start of the year.. However, last year they did let slip a large lead in the final at BV before just managing to scrape over the line on home shale, so when under pressure there is a precedent that they can wobble. (And who will ever forget Cov beating them?) And this year dont forget there is no Magic to steady the Pirate ship like he did last... Their nearest challenger I would suggest are the Aces but with still no clear home track advantage in what becomes effectively a home and away knockout cup they could be vulnerable in the play off.. Poole's to lose for me and would be a poor year for them really if they don't win it, especially when you put their team up against the others at the start of the season..

Gavan Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Well well well just waiting for Shovlar to have a go at all the other people who know Poole are favourites. Typical trolling thread from Shovlar. As everyone has said if Poole don't win its a huge shock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 So by your logic Belle Vue have fluked their dominant position, with a thumping win at Poole along the way, winning at second placed Wolves, being miles clear at the top and with an unassailable lead, yet Poole are favourites to still win. Yep. Gavan logic. 😆😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Don't know how peeps can say the aces are weak at home when they have only lost one home match, to the Swindon Roobins, Christ knows how they won that! It's more that BV haven't really been giving anyone a thrashing at home yet - mind you, 56 vs Wolves wasn't bad! But then on the other hand I think BV have score 40 away from home in all but 1 away meeting (at Lakeside in May this season) now for what will be 2 whole years by this weekend - thats a phenomenal away record really.

heathen chemistry Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 poole not favourites - jog on .... how many points they score tonite 64?? those trolls that have pointed to the fact belle vue beat poole at home - stop trolling cuz at the time u was saying it was the track being too grippy for poole riders and also the fact that buzz was missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Not his logic at all ...Poole and Belle Vue are joint favs for the league and they are the facts they were pretty much everybodys pick for the play-off final back in march,lets hope next yr a few more promoters can assemble a competitive team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Belle vue are clear favourites for the title. Only a pea brain would disagree. You are absolutely right - just about everyone outside Poole would love BV to win rather than Poole - so that makes them a favourite - petit pois brain!

mdmc82 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 With JK now sacked at Wolves and it looking like Tai could be replacing him, I wouldn't rule them out now either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Source? Kylmakorpi said himself on twitter about 10 mins ago that he won't be finishing the season with Wolves, which points some towards woffinden coming back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 BV have the strongest team on paper, will always have a decent reserve & 2nd strings. If Tai is at wolves then they will be very close to BV. Those are my two picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
