Any newcomer watching on Bt sport would be put off for life after that meeting.

A small number of passes during the meeting.. entertainment value 2 out of 10

That was the best league meeting on bt this season. Christ knows what you would rate the other televised meetings at. :lol:

Er no it wasn't.  The best league meeting was the first televised meeting this season and it was from Bellevue. 

The close score line in last night's meeting kept it interesting.

Iversen should be able to ride any track in any condition, have you seen the racing in Sweden, I haven't seen every meeting but quite a few and most of them are not smooth to say the least.

I think the reason for his moaning is that he is still recovering from injury and when he hits a bump it hurts.

How is it Lambert can overtake at Kings Lynn but Iversen  can't when the track is to his liking.

The reason the Belle Vue track is so good isn't just because it is smooth.

Well at least he rode it. Not pulling out, not letting his team or the fans down..Theres 2 very good riders I can think of who didn't give a chuff about anyone else !

Agreed Brum, thats why ive said to Poole fans only go on whats on the official site, Riders will tell Matt he will get it updated on our Official site.

It's what you tend to get when people so want to be the first to come up with some news. Any half a sniff they hear from anywhere and off they go.

Bit like trying to get a roller.

The lumps and bumps at Poole have been there for years, its no secret that Matt Ford doesn't have the cash to fix it.

Expand  

A lot of money has been spent on the track and its much better than it was. Last night it was affected by the rain which was why some riders struggled especially early on.

I thought it was an ok meeting. Track wasn't great but you could see a little standing water in places so it had took a lot of rain, maybe overnight ?

The crowd looked good to me. But will take SS's word that it wasn't that good. Nice not have to look at loads of empty seats in a grandstand on TV though..

The water on the track before heat one was because it had been watered with hoses before the meeting. They never watered it after 6.30 when the gates opened.

Note there was no dust during the meeting and no watering either.

Steve, airfences went up l night, before, as you can imagine there were lakes of water on them, so it was a case of putting them up the night before, and giving it the night to soak in, or putting them up on the day and having tons of water on the track and Neil would have been hard pressed to shift it.
As for Brady, he was visably upset with his performance in the pits, no rider wants to ride badly or run lasts especially at this stage, they are a lot better than that and we all know it.
Im not going to temp fate here, but Somerset Poole would be nice... See what i did there ..:rolleyes:

Expand  

Real genuine question, why would you put them up, I presume you mean inflate them and they are in place? so that all the water runs over the track??

What's  the  point of a roof ??    The days when we watched Speedway in the rain have long gone.     The  grandstand , without doubt,  gives the best view in the house.
