Regardless hope he is ok as he was certainly going flat out all afternoon. As far as Richie is concerned, he needs to stop looking for excuses, he has been woefully under powered for most meetings with just the odd race where he seems to get it right. After the amount of rain we had yesterday it is a wonder that they managed to get the track back in some sort of order at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting Holder having a mare A full strength Somerset would have won this by 6-10 points and i imagine would love to face Poole in the play offs. Worrall is the worry for Poole as he drops to reserve and Woryna unlikely to carry his form to the main body leave Poole very vulnerable, as Poole have been winning matches because of their reserves and that can easily change when the riders swop over You talk some nonsense.... the Somerset reserves probably scored more than the riders they replaced would of going by their last performances. As for Holders mare - what about Kurtzs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson got 8 the last two times he rode there and r/r got 3 Kurtz has been poor all season and he actually outscored his last score!

You try preparing a track for a mid morning meeting after a days heavy rain... 12:30 Mid morning are you sure about that? If 12:30 is mid morning then what time is 7:30PM in your world? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for a little home advantage,but that is definitely not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that it only appeared in heat 15 and wasn’t noticeable earlier on. Certainly not where we sit in the grandstand. Luckily Doyle the only person affected. For the past two weeks Stuart Dickson has been on holiday so the track should get back to where it was on his return. Or a better idea. Put some more holes in strategic places around the track, cover with fine netting just strong enough to put a sprinkling of shale over the top, then get the trackman to show our boys exactly where they are to dodge them. Within a few heats the opposition will be all knackered out of the meeting and we win 65-25.

Quite a few Poole fans on here and at the stadium have said it was Gerald doing it, the one who used to do Lakeside, that's why we have been having a surface like Lakeside used to!
