So is the BSPA putting it on their website saying it's exciting supposed to tempt new fans? If not what's the point of it and indeed why not use footage of the better race?

 

No idea. Perhaps the video company don’t want to give away the best heats. As I said, 13 and 15 were much better heats.

It’s rubbish that he needs to go to another track to further his career, the only thing he could gain from racing regular at another track is more money, given a better deal imo

The track last night was terrible, was so many ripples and bumps and plenty of dust, it was rubbish!

Dust inthe lasr 4-5 heats. No watering whatsoever last night. Stuart Dickson was overseeing the track all night. Suprised the track wastn’t watered.

I have to agree, the track was poor last night. Underwatered and very patchy, with too much dry loose material on the outside, which caught out a few of the riders. As a neutral it was my first visit of the season to poole, so I have no axe to grind.

Doesn't look as though the track improvements have improved much. Seeing bikes bounce around the track is horrendous.

that's not what the riders said at the after match press conference, they all loved it

They would have hated it, had they lost!

Well it most have improved otherwise it would have been cancelled like the other week!

Oh, and this is for the fans who think Matt Richie plays for Bournemouth:

What do you think as a fan watching bikes bounce around the track??

What the rider's think is irrelevant as they're being paid. The sport needs to attract fans, not rider's opinions.

To watch that every week I'd rather go to Alton Towers and enjoy the rollercoasters myself.

NKI with 5 points very poor for some reason.

His performance in Poland for Torun was much better than that!

 

 

 

 

 

Suprised the KL fans haven’t turned on him like they did CH. Holder had well documented personal problems, which are still ongoing, but the KL fans gave him no slack at all. And he was doing a far better job than Iversen has done for them this season.

With Iversen doing well in Poland on Sunday, why was he so rubbish last night?

Iversen has done enough over the years to earn a bit of slack.

This year though, Iversen's probably happy to just pick up a bit of extra pocket money from British Speedway.

And Holder hasn’t? Both have been good servants to British speedway, Holder possibly more so than Iversen, who chucked EL for a season.

Holder has done nothing for King's Lynn. His Mr Bigtime attitude didn't go down well with many, the way he was influenced other rider's in the team with night's out on the p!$$ didn't go unnoticed either on the terraces.

He wouldn't ride...…..We all know what went on. His well documented problems didn't stop him from scoring 13 at Poole, i think it was  the night before?

If he had, no doubt he would of finished the season out ?

NKI's slack will soon start to run out.. But Nki has been loyal to Lynn, where as Holder didn't give a toss imho

I'm sure if NKI ever refused to ride in a home meeting he'd be heavily criticised too.

This week is the first time Neils' UK form hasn't mirrored what he has been doing abroad....apart from a good score in Sweden he was pretty average everywhere before his op. Despite one or two unfounded claims on this thread he always gives it 100% in my eyes.....in contrast Holder never looked interested last year.

Iversen has had a lot of good years at Kings Lynn, Holder was a Poole rider andfor one season rode for Kings Lynn and add in the night he refused to ride he was never going to be liked in the same way as Iversen. They give him slack because of the past and he is coming back from injury.

Whisper is that Poole have been reported to the environmental officer for allowing practice while the school exams were taking place in the afternoon.

Whoever allowed that needs sacking. 

I agree, but they've got to do their exams somewhere...
