ray c Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 It`s all so easy sat at home on the sofa with a cup of tea beside you watching !!! Last night- Pearson and Tatum we know were at Wolves- so they were having to commentate on the Swindon v Poole match by looking at a monitor. Add to that a director continually talking in your ear. This season I have heard Pearson having to lead the caption person in summing up the score. Yes there was a mistake in the Swindon match but I thought they did well considering they would have had to keep two scorecharts on the go !!! quite agree nigel and kelvin do a very good job it must have been a little difficult being live at one and watching the other one on a monitor screen . better to have nigel and kelvin doing it than no speedway at all . keep up the good work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Fabulous performance from Swindon, particularly at the end. Good from Poole, too, who really played their part in making it a great match. Â Felt that Adam Ellis shouldn't have been excluded for his first bend fall as it should have been called back for Andersen's movement at the tapes. Â Don't get why people are so obsessive about having a go at the commentators. They do just fine, particularly Kelvin who is, after all, a former rider. Â Then again, people would have been ripping into Dave Lanning (who made just as many mistakes in pre-recorded commentary at Nigel Pearson does live) had he been round today. And he is seen as the consummate speedway commentator. You just can't please some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Nah we made plenty of noise. Poole fans travelled in very good numbers for last night. More than the 20 Swindon fans who made the effort to come down to Poole for the first leg. Perhaps Swindon fans get nose bleed if they get too far away from the Rodbourne Arms.And what about the 50 or so on the second bend by the catering wagon? What about the many Poole fans scattered all around the first and second bends? Granted we were not that noisy as there really wasn't too much to cheer but we were all there supporting our team. Where were the Swindon fans at Poole hiding? Â Oh, yes, don't we just love it when loads of Pugwashers turn up to see their team sink! From moneybags favourites at the start of the year to hopeless also-rans. Over and out from mouth of the South. Goodnight, Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Just wanted to add that I thought the presentation from Swindon was very professional looking with the flames at the end of every race - nice to see them making an effort 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Any news on Ellis and whether he is likely to be fit for the final? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well done Swindon but the Pirates certainly made them work for it until the latter stages of the meeting. Â Please can someone confirm the race time of heat 15 for me? I made a Hans Andersen type departure from the Stadium and missed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well done to the Robins - most deserved. BWD did well on his new engine(s). Â Unfortunately the Poole 'engine room' only managed a few phut-phuts!! Possibly only 3 of those on show last night will be in the Poole 2018 septet!!? Â As stated previously I will be behind the Robins in the final 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Pearson rotates his limited vocabulary at random...not sure he knows what his next words are. Â Seems to think shouting down the mike will have more effect. Â Personally I would like them to forget this dual announcers and let Tatum do it himself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
