Crazy robin Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Well done Bomber & Somerset definitely deserved something from the meeting. Bomber always good at Poole as used to riding the bumps on the grass tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason.C Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Poole win whilst carrying 2 riders and go top of the league. Happy day's. The track was better during the last few weeks but unfortunately the amount of rain we've had looks like it has affected it somewhat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Terribly bumpy track. Good job the meeting was so close plus the odd decent race. Not the best meeting but miles better than most on BT this year which isn’t really a great thing. The Rebels fully deserved that point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Only the close scoreline to maintain any interest because the racing was fairly dull. Amazed how many jumped starts the ref let go, so fair play to Bomber for doing it in the last to clinch the meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke Potter Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Track's rough and slick, quite an achievement. That said, I thought there was some reasonable racing/passing. Better than last week when I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Have to say I was disappointed with Freddie - having heard so much about him - he looked pretty poor. Put it down to an off night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole Quay 7 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 From the bottom to the top of the league now the hard part is staying there. It's great having Bomber riding for Poole rather than against us! Well done Somerset who deserved a hard-earned point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes she let 3 Pirates jump the starts.She done this at Lynn the other week too letting a couple of Lynn riders jump plus one from,i think it was Swindon.Remember joking she must have been doing her nails at the time. Seemed to be a hole appearing turns 1&2 again,see a couple of riders hit it Harris in a earlier heat and Doyle a couple of times in ht 15.Is this the norm at Poole or was this just a once off.

Good for her. Pulling races back all the time is driving people away from the sport. Wasn't there an objective to not pull races back this year? Anyway, Harris didn't jump the start. He just gated well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough if every ref applies the same.She is the only one i have seen who consistently lets it go.I'm happy providing riders don't touch the tapes to let it go.But every ref has to sing from the same hymn book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattfordfan Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Glad my campaigning worked at the start of the season. I said 3 changes needed to be made if we wanted to reach the play-offs/win the league. I also said Sundstrom, Szczepaniak & Shanes had to go. 3 changes I got. 3 riders who I wanted out got sacked or left. Now look at where we are.

Maybe, but they said at the start of the year that they were going to make less restarts, so maybe she's the one who is doing it right.
