Najjer Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Looking forward to hopefully getting down to Poole Friday morning. Big shame there is no Lawson as he scored big when we won at Poole last season. Not sure what other options are about with other teams riding too on the same day. Regardless of who wins, I just hope it's not the weather as the forecast doesn't look amazing and it's going to be cold! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said the Poles and Sundstrom will need to dial in and then you have Klidemand who could easily get 10-12 or have 2 falls and get 5-6 Although PK is good at getting other riders excluded when he falls off! (just going by last years GPs!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That high score from Lawson was a fluke imo. It’s the only time he has ever scored anything like that at Poole. I would rather he was riding than guest or r/r/. The fact its the Poole boys first action, when Somerset will have already ridden a meeting, might make it a bit closer. as for the second leg, have Woryna, Spanner or Sundstrum ever ridden Somerset?

poolebolton Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Current Simon Stead meeting.  Killer falls off first bend. Not hurt  but Doyle fell off an his foot is painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poole Quay 7 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 How refreshing to at last see people talking about a speedway meeting instead of the nonsense that has been in the Poole thread for the last few weeks. Â The new Poole track could well be something of a leveler for Somerset, however, I think overall Poole will have the firepower to win over the 2 meetings. Â Good luck to both teams and here's hoping for a safe and entertaining meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So should be ok wouldn't be surprised if he missed tomorrow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Simon Steads Last Lap at Sheffield Sunday. Brady looking really good, 2nd in Final.PK fourth.Encouraging. Very much gate n go. As track dried out, gating was essential. Vaculik showed his class when it mattered. Impressed with Brady, good use of elbows in one race! PKÂ started slowly, but his last 3 rides he was certainly on it. Josh also did ok, with 7pts and 2 retirements.

You go on about how good your team is,if it's that good it shouldn't matter to the riders whether they are riding the track for the first time or the 21st time.Somerset isn't a tricky track like Wolves.Good riders will ride whatever track is there to ride. It seems you have got the excuses in early again just in case Somerset do beat you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Somerset will not beat us over two legs. No excuses needed. Edited March 25, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm sure Sundstrom will have been there many times in his PL days with Rye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed he has ridden at the OTA for Rye House. Sczezpaniak has also ridden there back in 2007 in a challenge match, so admittedly quite some time ago. For what it's worth he scored a shed load that night from memory. Shovlar is classic. Been telling us for months how good this Poole side is and now all of a sudden because each Somerset rider will get 4 minutes of track time tomorrow night it's going to make the scores closer - even though Kurtz, Kildemand and Grajczonek have all been riding this weekend! Not to mention we are now stronger because Lawson who scored about 12 last time is missing.... classic Shovlar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 From the sounds of things Kurtz is flying and Killer was getting dialed in by the end. Josh seemed fast and was just having some bikes issues. As someone said earlier think they will have another closed door practice maybe Wednesday or Thursday for more track time and also see how the track is?  I just hope Doyle is ok. This meeting is big for both clubs with huge crowds expected so hope for some good racing. Just a bit annoying that Lawson is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t believe Somerset will get that close. And Poole have a chance of keeping it close or a narrow win in the evening. I believe Poole are far too strong for Somerset this season, and if the team ride to their potential, will be a formidable force everywhere.

I know some of Poole's riders might not of seen Somerset's track before ,but it's a good track, good size and not a trick track.Early season results can be hard to predict, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was 2-4 points in it either way at Somerset,and a 16-20 point Poole win at home.

DC2 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018  Big chance to see how good Poole’s ringer Poles really are. Anything less than two 50-40 victories and Poole are going to struggle against the good teams.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 The only Poole rider that hasn't ridden the OTA is Woryna I believe. As Najjer said Szczepaniak has ridden and I think top scored for Czestochowa (albeit the only riders we had close to being a top league rider was Zetterstrom and the late King Kramer.
