Steve Shovlar Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Â The track will be fine if its anything like Wednesday v Leicester - which considering the heatwave was unexpectedly (by me) a briliant race track. You can't say that Skidder! Some bloke shuffling around in the pits wearing a mac, talking gibberish and looking like Dustin Hoffman said it was bad! Â The rest of us thought it was great racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Someone told me on the isle of Wight last night, that they were stopping people taking their own food and drink in at poole. If this is true, why upset what few fans the sport has left. Not everyone wants to eat junk food. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Havent seen anyone having to give up any food or drink at the main Grandstand entrance!! Some bottles have been opened and the contents 'sniffed' but then given back to the fan. Â Not sure if thats the same at the other entrance into the restaurant stand as I never go in that way?!

cityrebel Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hopefully that's the case. I was at swindon last week and wasn't even searched. Kent is the only track I've been to this season that have checked my bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hopefully Monday will have races at least as good as this cracker.... Â I wouldn't have called it a cracker, but im sure we will. On current form this meeting could be a classic BT could not have picked better to start there coverage. How much different will the presentation be i wonder A The same as it normally is.

PHILIPRISING Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 On current form this meeting could be a classic BT could not have picked better to start there coverage. How much different will the presentation be i wonder A I'M told less boring interviews between races (hoorah) and a more analytical round-up at the end of the meeting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 It featured on the bspa website, wasn't it the best race of the night? There were others.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 About 2200 there. A good crowd for Monday night  We get more or less that every week.  You're half right, you get less every week. Poole capacity is 2,900 so if you get 2,200 then you're over 75% full, which is not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 It featured on the bspa website, wasn't it the best race of the night? Was it you doing the commentary? Going on about stumbling around and not looking comfortable. We only needed the word wobblers used and it would have given you away. A pass is a pass I suppose.

RobMcCaffery Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) thanks phil i guess it would slightly different just like the brittish final was Monday night and we also got Natalie on board who also knows her speedway There have been signs of this on the SGP coverage with many of the mid-meeting interviews being carried on the international feed not making it onto the BT programme, and how long they spend after the actual racing with analysis, rather than a quick look at the presentation then off to the next sport. Â The post-meeting interview with Craig Cook was very well-handled on Monday. I look forward to seeing how a league match is treated by them. With Natalie Quirk and Steve Brandon we finally have an interview team in the pits that can match the knowledge of the commentary team. Â (Even those who whinge about Nigel and Kelvin's commentary style wouldn't be stupid enough to doubt their knowledge....would they?)

Steve Shovlar Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 It featured on the bspa website, wasn't it the best race of the night? No there were better races. Heat 15 was a cracker of a race......for Liecester as Riss then a lap later King made some blinding passes of Holder. Starkes races from the back were also excellent.

Poole capacity is 2,900 so if you get 2,200 then you're over 75% full, which is not the case. Â Where on earth do you get that figure from SCB? The 'old' main grandstand has a H&S limit of 1200 (it holds more '1400', but H&S rules!!). plus the standing room at the front which can be 4 or 5 deep for the whole length of the home straight stand. Â The 'newer' glass restaurant/bar stand with 3 levels can take approx 1000 (300 in the actual restaurant) and the 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th bends can all take 6-8 deep at least. Â The official declared attendance for the World Cup in 2004 was 7,131, of which 2,200 were in the temporary seating brought in especially.

Mark Loram won WC there was 7k, Tony Rickardsson won WC it was 6k, most playoffs until last few years were 4-5k. When World Cup was at Poole it was 5-6k.

Rob Dyer Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Was it you doing the commentary? Going on about stumbling around and not looking comfortable. We only needed the word wobblers used and it would have given you away. A pass is a pass I suppose. The Poole v Leicester commentary was mine. Do my best to call it as I see it. Always happy to receive feedback, good or bad. Helps me improve. Think there were four or five heats from the meeting that would have made equally good viewing.

RobMcCaffery Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 maybe a little unfair not to mention Sophie who also did a good job when sky In my commentary days I had to work in several other sports than speedway and reached a level of proficiency in one where I was mistaken for a long-term supporter turned commentator instead of being in my first season. Â You can go only so far though but there is no substitute for a deep-seated knowledge and love for the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
