Shockster Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 This is going to be a right tanking. Can't see Kings Lynn getting 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4gillian Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 What a total rubbish meeting for sky to put on for neutral watchers !!! Be another chance for pearson and tatum to say what a wonderful manager middleditch is and what a fantastic promoter ford is. After all the whole sky sports team want poole to win the league whatever the crap meetings shown. All poole fans want are huge home wins not worrying what rubbish teams the oppo put out so they will be enormously happy again with a 30 point win. Nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 So tell me gimli27 why do middleditch and ford manoeuvre the rules and regulations year in year out so they can put a team together like now with an ex GP rider at reserve ??? They don't manoeuvre the rule so that they can have an ex gp rider at reserve, that is a consequence of building a solid team and a change in the EDR rules which lets them go in to the main body of the team dictated by the averages. Contrary to popular opinion Matt and Middlo don't make the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytripper Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 , Is Tatum still involved at Lakeside? He is, but it was made clear at the outset that his media work comes first. If Lakeside are racing on the same night as a Sky broadcast Kelvin does his Sky commentary and Jon Cook stands in as team manager, although on one occasion recently Paul Hurry stood in as TM.

chris4gillian Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Is Tatum still involved at Lakeside? Yes he's the club coach. I remember a few years ago when some were saying that Sky, and if memory serves Tatum in particular, disliked Poole. How the tables have turned...or is it some on here just post poop? , He is, but it was made clear at the outset that his media work comes first. If Lakeside are racing on the same night as a Sky broadcast Kelvin does his Sky commentary and Jon Cook stands in as team manager, although on one occasion recently Paul Hurry stood in as TM. Jon Cook IS the team manager, Kelvin is just the coach. http://www.lakesidehammers.co/details/ Edited September 7, 2016 by chris4gillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 i agree the meeting is poor i am not all poole fans i go to see decent speedway win or lose thats the reason i am not going 65 25 dose not appeal to me like last time the stars were at wimborne road please dont class poole supporters all the same thank you That is why most fans go including Poole fans, we like to win who doesn't but there is no pleasure in watching a thrashing with not much actual racing. It is not Poole's fault the opposition doesn't look too competitive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Steve comes on and lets everyone know that Poole were the big underdogs V Wolves on Monday and that they will do well to make a match of it.... Doesn't matter who we have booked we will still get beaten fairly easily.Wanted to make it up for this but doubt it will happen as I am in Lewes in Sussex on Monday. however, KL fans say exactly the same thing and.... Never read such codswollap. Poole are also missing two heat leaders so that evens it up somewhat. Look at the team Poole had to put out at Monmore on Monday and we still got a point.Forecast is good the sun is beating down and I for one amLooking forward to an entertaining meeting. Toft a very good guest. it's poor old Poole again! The bookies favourites are clearly disadvantaged and this will now be a close match. Tungate and Kennett have never ridden the track before and should help even the sides up and PUK is a very minor loss for the Stars. Admittedly Harris rides Poole well, particularly when he has been run over first, however, I cant believe KL fans would swap the two over. The fact that KL have Branford and Wilkinson at reserve should help keep it close against the former GP star and Number 1 draft rider from last season.. This must be the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointsmeanplayoffs Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Never has one meeting summed up the state of British Speedway quite so well. Let's broadcast it live on TV too just to show everyone how it's a complete mess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimli27 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Alan i think foreverblue has answered your question surely no fan wants to see completely one sided meetings as you can only beat whats in front of you there has been plenty of fans on the forum feeling that things need changing and until that happens we will get this happening again unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytripper Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Jon Cook IS the team manager, Kelvin is just the coach. http://www.lakesidehammers.co/details/ I can see why people think you and Gavan are the same person. The programmes, including the latest one, 2nd September list the officials and state both Kelvin and Jon Cook as team managers. To all intents and purposes Kelvin is the one that does the job when he is available, otherwise it's Jon Cook, and as I said, on one occasion Paul Hurry. The coach part is in addition.

Steve Shovlar Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 And that attitude is KILLING SPEEDWAY !!! I see its all Pooles fault. Terrible of them to have Bjarne at reserve. Shame on Poole. Booooooooooo! Lol! Nonsense. We finally agree on something. Most Poole home meetings are entertaining and this should be no different. Kings Lynn are weak but so were Poole on Monday and I haven't seen anywhere that Wolves fans were disappointed in the meeting. Bet there's several very good races tonight. Its hot out there. Hope they have chucked down a few hundred thousand gallons of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Umm what rules have they bent to Pedersen there then? He can't because we haven't. If we got Brady at reserve it would be how can we have a world cup rider and Australian gp wildcard rider at reserve! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 This is going to be a right tanking. Can't see Kings Lynn getting 30. I agree. King's Lynn are heavily depleted with poorer guests whilst Poole have out of form riders replaced by riders in form. Poole should be looking to hit 60 tonight. I'm not sure how sky are going to make it sound or look exciting. Think I would give it a miss if not for Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
