Track was bloody brilliant tonight. Best it has been for years and the Poole riders said it was perfect for them and just how they want it. If anyone is critical of the Poole track they must either be trying to make excuses for a crap Kings Lynn Performance, or couldn’t have been there.

it looked great before the meeting and rode fast and smooth. Plenty of passing from the start to the end. 

Pictures on Robert Lamberts' Twitter says otherwise, but your the expert

If shovlar says the track is good enough times does it make it true?

Lambert coming across as a total tool, the track was perfect as clearly stated by Brady after the meeting. By all accounts the tractor has had a major issue after the meeting during grading resulting in the oil spill, One of those things that can't be helped.

Usual crap track from Poole then... not sure why anyone is surprised its always s**t... and to think some had the cheek to have a go at Swindon 

[Steve Shovlar]

Well I didn’t expect that! I expected Kings Lynn to come out with all guns blazing. What we got was a team demolished in the first three heats and going backwards from there!

Poole could have had 65 points tonight but for Harris’s fall when going for the lead, and Middlo resting Brady in heat 15 allowing Lambert a heat win.

The difference between the teams was vast. Kings Lynn had no answer.

A very big crowd tonight cheered on the team. Like Brady said after the meeting, Poole are back!

There was some stonking racing as well throughout the meeting. Heat 7 saw Woryna fly around the outside but Harris was at the back. He almost got to the front when he lifted (not sure what he clipped) and came tumbling down leaving Proctor nowhere to go. A nasty crash but both got up. In the next heat Newman gated but was picked off over the race by the two Pirates.

Pirates remain third but niw only a point behind Swindon with two home meetings in hand.

for Poole.

Brady was untouchable tonight. 10/10

Josh battled all night. Solid. 7/10

Nicolai did his usual win by a mile or tailed off. 6/10

Richie was excellent. Fast and aggressive. 9/10

Harris battled all night but the crash affected him. 7/10

Kacsper was superb. Fast and only dropped one point. Showing his potential.  9/10

Freddie is pure class. Excellent passing. Again only dropped one point. 9/10

For Lynn.

Lambert battled but found it tough. 7/10

Toft didn’t do much. 3/10

Proctor ran a last in his first before a crash. Unfortunate. Can’t give a score.

Jorgensen was pretty rubbish. Expected much more. 2/10

Iversen started well but then went awol. 3/10

Simon Lambert was out of his depth. Gifted his points. 1/10

Newman battled all night but was picked off. No lack of effort though. 4/10

Next up is Leicester at home next Thursday.

Happy Days!

Happened after heat 15 apparently, seems like Lambert is spreading fake news and throwing toys out of the pram ... Very childish

The way the King's Lynn riders are conducting themselves on Twitter tonight is very very embarrassing. Very unsportsmanlike behaviour. The grapes are very sour tonight.

Track was absolutely brilliant tonight. Smooth and fast, no dust, loads of racing lines. Poole riders said it was perfect. Have to agree.

Why was track being graded after the meeting had finished???

It's common practice to grade a track once a meeting has finished.

Whilst considered an enviromental no no now from a selfish speedway point of view its possibly exactly what this and a few other tracks need to sort out the problems with the material not binding as desired

Absolutely. No sign of any oil on track during the meeting. Looks like Lambert needs to be brought in front of the SCB and charged with spreading fake news and bringing the sport into disrepute. Very childish from a rider who was given a hard time tonight on track. 

[Trackrat]

The Poole 'Texaco' pirates.

[Jason.C]

Very disappointing comments from two "professional" top riders.  

[ray c]

Typical from you,so when Poole were losing at home it was ok for their riders to criticize the track.But when the away team lose and they criticize the track you want the book thrown at them.I seem to think you are a being a bit childish too.So Poole riders can say what they want about the track but no other riders from other clubs are allowed to criticize it.It again is all about Poole in your blue tinted spectacles.

If you look at the picture closely you can see the tractor tyre tracks which would only be there after a track grade and fans walking away obviously on their way home.

The Poole track was sh*t earlier in the season, as many of us (including myself) publicly stated. There were meetings with only 1 or 2 passes all night. The track is a lot better now.

They are upset their team folded like a cheap deck of cards and are making up any excuse to cover their inadequacies. The fact that the track was superb tonight doesn’t fit with their frustration.
