The track is still soft in parts so it very difficult to water on such a warm and windy day. Apologies. As a sponsor myself I was advised by a fellow sponsor that such a conversation had taken place. I presumed it was prior to the meeting but maybe it was on an earlier occasion. In any case I had no issue with the watering, it was the number of racing lines that was being suggested.

First of all well done to Swindon who gave us a master class in gating. They were two bike lengths quicker out of the gate in virtually every heat. At first I put it down to having 2 and 4, which were working very well. But by the time we got on them the Swindon boys were dialled in and it made very little difference. In virtually every heat Swindon got to the first bend in front and we were just chasing shadows. The track is now nice and smooth but the racing lines have vanished. Morris gated superbly, held the inside and that was that. A terrible terrible meeting to watch (unless you were one of the 4 Swindon fans I witnessed who made the trip down. Only person who showed true grit and detemination was PK who made a couple of from the back moves. For Swindon. Their whole team did well, bar Davey. For Poole Kurtz was completely off the pace. Never seen him so bad. Woryna did Ok but struggled with racing lines. Josh G missed the gate twice and then took a purler trying to get second. Bad night. Sundstrom looks a bit lightweight. PK showed class. Spanner was good. Battled to paid ten. Shanes found it tough. Took a heavy fall trying to make a pass, bruised but ok. One of those nights where one team clicks all together, and the other has a mare. Well done again to Swindon who deserved their win. Video of conference to come. fair post, respect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your idea of a good speedway match is first out of the gate then we might as well get rid of the other 3 and a half laps, would certainly save a lot of money! I'm not saying Swindon didn't deserve the win, I'm saying that it was almost impossible to overtake. There was one line and that was it. All of Swindon's points came from the gate. I think Kildemand was the only rider to overtake anybody all night long. Edited April 19, 2018 by BurntFaceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now. Don’t know what the tune is called but it’s worse than the crap Coventry came out to for years. Yeah I couldn't agree more, makes it look so out of touch. It needs a good grimey electronic dubstep track to go with the dirty, fast, no brakes, no fear image. And what happened to music before the heats? Eye of the tiger used to be a decent opener.

Not correct according to people who were there and updates Heat 7 - PK passed Batch Heat 10 - Batch passed Woryna and Ellis passed both Woryna and Kurtz ( now correct me if im wrong but they are both Swindon riders?) Heat 13 - PK passed Morris and Musielek Heat 14 - Ellis passed both MS and Sundstrom (again im sure Ellis is a Swindon rider) Heat 15 - PK passed Batch Now correct me if im wrong thats 2 Swindon riders who made passes and only 1 Poole rider. I gather it was gaters paradise but if 2 Swindon riders can pass its a bit poor that only 1 Poole rider can manage it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat ten Batchelor had the run off the second bend down the back straight. Ellis did pass Woryna up the inside of bend two lap 2. Kurtz was always at the back. Heat 14 both Poole riders got either side of Ellis but he had the run down the back straight into third bend. No pass. So I recall the only pass a Swindon rider made after second band was Ellis on Woryna. It really was a meeting of little entertainment, the same as Monday at Belle Vue. Little to no passing in either meetings. Edited April 20, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Pirate Blue Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I love how Gavan can yammer on about Steve's opinion on things when he wasn't there, be it a match or the weather, yet he is allowed to make his own assessments about things he wasn't there to directly see. Such a hypocrite and troll. Please note that there have been pleasant conversations and some reminiscing on this thread between fans of opposing teams over the last few days after we got the 'laugh at Poole losing at home' vibe out the way. Take your antagonistic and trolling ways elsewhere Gavan. You're not welcome here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut up It was Burntfaceman that made the remark about lack of passing from Swindon riders not Shovlar I merely pointed out that from updates it seemed only 3 riders made passes, PK, Ellis and Batchelor and i merely pointed out 2 of those were Swindon riders. Shovlar to be fair posted a post saying that most of the passes were in the first and second bend. Neither me or Shovlar wrote anything antagonistic to each other. I didnt 'yammer on' about Steves opinion. Pretty obvious the track was poor with a lack of passing. My response was to Burntfaceman saying that no Swindon riders did any passing when they did. Pretty fed up with everything i write being jumped on by morons like you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Swindon seemed a lot more at home on the track than Poole. Cannot use track as an excuse, Poole were poor but also Swindon did look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Ridiculous to start talking about team changes. Regardless of this result Poole still have strongest team in the league as a season of racing will show. Five new riders on a track that they are not familiar with means they are riding on it without home advantage, which will build up over the folowing weeks. And if Matt makes and changes we will become even stronger. Absolutely nothing to get stressed or worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
