It was a different Poole performance to a few weeks back. Maybe average lowering for next season? Or your boys have lost heart? I don’t understand how a team can perform so different. For the 1st half of the meeting it looked like pros vs amatures. I still wouldn’t choose Poole in the playoffs though. no gloating though. Still a long way to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickitov Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 A couple of weeks ago, all we got from Poole fans was " We're top of the League", now all of a sudden after a complete thrashing they never wanted to win the league anyway!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gate and go, Poole riders didn’t like grippy track and only started getting points as track got slicker. If Middlo wasn’t up for it, then he sure should be up for next years Oscars. Poole frankly were woeful ! Kings Lynn updates on twitter are lying when they kept putting 'from the gate' then?? And a KL fan saying she was trying not to fall asleep as it wasn't entertaining!!

Fromafar Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Let's face facts it doesn't matter what track(possibly NSS excluded) it's gate and go nowadays majority of the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a long way to go Poole were woeful.As for lowering their averages this result would hardly put a dent into their current averages anyway,so it wasn't that.They were simply beaten by the better team on the night.They really didn't like a grippy track early doors,got better when it slickened off a bit. S.Lambert said in the meeting in the bar afterwards that it was the grippiest track he's rode for a few years and wished more tracks were like it. Poole nearly had their play-off chances ruined when Kurtz lost control and nearly wiped out Josh.G on the back straight,luckily they missed each other by no more than a couple of inches and an accident was avoided. 19 minutes ago, The Stag said: A couple of weeks ago, all we got from Poole fans was " We're top of the League", now all of a sudden after a complete thrashing they never wanted to win the league anyway!!!

Dear oh me! That's what's wrong with the sport.League winners deserve some kind of recognition for finishing top imo.Try explaining to someone who don't go to speedway you race a whole league campaign and if you finish top you don't automatically win the league.Some would think it's crazy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgy Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 2 hours ago, lisa-colette said: Oh come on!!! We were winning 95% of the meeting last time and now we are getting the thrashed. No one is that thick to think it's genuine are they? It's either 1. Matt wants KL in SF or 2. Averages must come down, could have Brady at reserve at this rate!! Or maybe it's a bit of both. Isn’t that a summary why we are where we are? ‘Averages’ can certainly serve their purpose, also the route of much evil. Paying customers just want to see two teams going for it, not a pantomime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they will have to do is turn up. Somerset clear favourites. N B Jakobsen at reserve is far, far superior to Allen, and they are bound to use him all the way. Won't be able to use him for Allen next month.NBJ's Championship average goes up to 6.40 in a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019, if Championship clubs wish to continue on a Thursday they have 2 options:- lose all priority to rider's in the Premiership or step up a division. where are all your so called premiership riders going to come from then , the N.J.L. ? ERIK RISS .... EDINBURGH. TY PROCTOR....WORKINGTON. M.P.T .... SOME OTHER TEAM ! SIMON LAMBERT .... PETERBOROUGH . RICHIE WORRALL.... EDINBURGH . NICOLAI KLINDT .... WORKINGTON . CHRIS HARRIS ....

Nah I'm just on here because I'm debating with other Poole fans on twitter if i'm a 'Brady basher' or not! I'm alternating between the two websites and laughing at KL fans who think the Poole riders were actually trying 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
